Telly G Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 That moment when I don't let a single vidjiagaem lord over my life and just tries like, Warframe. That game's weird and entertaining. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Red Eagle LXIX Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 That moment you finish reading a long post from someone whom has obviously (and admittedly) not read what things have been covered in other posts, but has also not even bothered to read the Core Features or Stretch Goals because everything they suggest is covered in those.

brostoevsky Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 Right now I'm savoring that moment when you get home after working all day, pour a glass of Wild Turkey and put a pizza in the oven.

The website doesn't have an "About" page or even a single paragraph explaining the game. I had to do some googling myself to find the Kickstarter goals, and even that is kind of hard to find now that it's archived (and that's only if you even know there was a KS in the first place). And you certainly can't expect everyone to read everything on the forums, most people don't have the time or inclination to do so (which is why you only see hard core forumites whining about this kind of thing). Feedback is feedback even if it's repeating other people's feedback. To phrase it another way... feedback is helpful for the developers to gauge the community's opinions on the game. The whole community, not just dedicated fans who spend time here on the forums. You can't force people to read the whole suggestions subforum before they post, and most of those people come to simply state their thoughts and suggestions and then leave. Would you rather discourage them from posting anything at all and thus depriving the developers of valuable feedback? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

brostoevsky Posted February 26, 2014 Share Posted February 26, 2014 I know, I'm just saying it's not very easy to find. Your average internet user or gamer doesn't care much about forums and most people would expect to see that information in a really obvious place on the website not buried in the forum somewhere. A lot of people don't have as much experience with forums as some people do and they don't always think of that sort of thing. Just saying it's nice to give people the benefit of the doubt because more feedback is better than less feedback.

Understanding, patience and humility are always the winning strategy. However, It gets very fustrating when the same thing, day in and day out, is continually repeated and regurgitated. For months now... Whats more frustrating to me, is all this wasted energy put into the section. This energy could be better utilized in something more productive. i.e discussing finer points of "guaranteed" new ideas or maybe a genuine "new idea". Without definitive guidelines from the developers as to what will be included and how it will be included or perhaps a generalized list of acknowledged ideas, everything else just descends into hot air. I've seen soo many fantastic ideas which have just blown away in the wind... It's sad and demoralizing at the same time :< Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LimeyRon Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 I honestly think half of the problem is that people are bored while waiting for A7. The other half is that nobody seems to know what "search" means. Alright, we all overlook something at some point, but at least some of us bother searching first.

brostoevsky Posted February 27, 2014 Share Posted February 27, 2014 Well put Martial Law, I do understand where you all are coming from, I guess I'm just a bit more patient (or at least well weathered since I've moderated a bunch of large forums and this kind of thing happens everywhere). I don't think there's anything wrong with gentle rebuke or reminding the people to use search or that their ideas have already been discussed in other topics, I just think it's important to be welcoming and understanding of new people who maybe aren't as familiar with the community or forum as the regulars.
