Constant GS Mechanics Fan Fic on the Officials

[Rolton-Sammich]

I have to complain about this somewhere. HIPPO-GRANDE is driving me batshit. The officials are nearly dead, so three out of every ten new threads are these half-baked spell ideas, nonsensical skill ideas, and ludicrous mechanics suggestions. I can't fathom what spurs this poster on, except that everyone appears to have hit ignore -- perhaps they take silence as applause. Didn't people just keep blogs for this sort of thing?

So, like, what the hell.

[Tgo01]

We should start our own GS erotic fan fic and post it all over the officials.

[Mogonis]

Maybe this is that person. Or maybe it's you.

They are that peculiar intersection of trolling and not trolling.

[Gelston]

My personal feelings, just skip it. I think ideas should be encouraged and this person is obviously a bit passionate about it. Nothing forces you to read them.

Have to agree. The dev team has stated numerous times they are open to ideas. As bad as most of them are, at least he has ideas for the game.

Eh, people who start offering random, bizarre suggestions tend to be either really young, or really new. In this case it's probably the latter, because he mentions not using a 15th level spells due to being too new, but in the same breath suggests 40th level spells to "shake things up". He's like a KRAKII alt.

I think HIPPO-GRANDE is his alt account, I've seen a LIPPO-GRANDE that's been posting on the officials for a few years.

+1 to utilizing the ignore author feature on the officials for anyone who continuously irks you. You'll find the option below the author name.

Note that ignoring someone will still cause the age-old "unread posts but no posts when you view all unread" forum bug on the classic old officials. 21st century be damned, etc.

Yeah, their whole forums suck. It needs to be tied to billing for some reason and that is why they can't upgrade them. Only they know why.

[Androidpk]

It has to be tied to billing!!!

Why?

No way I'm reading that.

Forums are the way they are for two real main reasons. Simutronics created them, so they have complete control over them. We aren't stuck having to sync anything with a third-party forum. And users are attached to your billable accounts. That way we can separate things like Shattered and Platinum.

The forums in their state are helpful to the game in terms of moderation, because we don't have to address issues like the troll accounts that get created here regularly. Consequences are tied to your game account. And access is directly tied to the subscriptions you hold. We don't have to deal with people who aren't users of our product, so it keeps the riffraff out. However, when F2P was created, we ran into that issue on the Prime side. We tried a few things, but after some time, we had to designate areas for F2P posting privileges. It also proved to us that we'd open the flood gates if we ever deviate from that again.

Are they pretty? Not really. I'm certainly use to them. There are a plethora of features I wish we had.

A large portion of people ONLY post here because the official forums are a garbage fire and because the Simutronics rules for selling things are archaic. Most of us don't want to participate in the..."extra-curriculars" here, as evidenced by the fact that at the time of this post there are 51 people browsing the merchant thread and 11 browsing Off-Topic. But it's the loud, horrible minority that rules here. It's just the only option.

Let us buy and sell things on the officials as you know has happened for the past 30 years. Hell, you've even gotten into the business of selling silvers yourself with Simucoins, and don't even pretend that's not the case. Every modern MMO does it these days, and has for years. And yes, give the dumpster fire a facelift to make it at very least standards compliant for 2017. You know...like a company selling a product might do. Even really basic stuff like making "Legacy mode" opt-in and forcing the option to not hide the forum categories to default to "don't hide half the forum every time I log in" would make it 1000% more accessible. These are not things that would require full overhauls or tons of development time, but they would make the official forums much more appealing to a high percentage of the playerbase.

Nah, let'em have their forums. I just went over there for the hell of it and got a solid laugh... here are some bits from the Code of Conduct post:

Deliberate misgendering or use of ‘dead’ or rejected names
Physical contact and simulated physical contact (eg, textual descriptions like “hug” or “backrub”) without consent or after a request to stop. (Oh my god... HAHAHAHAA! I can't...)
Stalking or following
Harassing photography or recording, including logging online activity for harassment purposes
Pattern of inappropriate social contact, such as requesting/assuming inappropriate levels of intimacy with others (there's a lot of anti-sexual stuff there. I get it, but couldn't it have been condensed into one or two 'rules' instead of ten?)
Publication of non-harassing private communication without consent of all involved parties (that doesn't sound like fun at all)

Ruh roh! See Whirlin... people DO need guides to forums (but you knew this already since this happened on your other forum about three weeks ago):



"Welcome to the new forums. Some features to point out to people:
If you liked having the first thing you see being your activity feed, you can set this under your user settings. In fact, you can set any of the navigation menu options as being the default thing that you land on when you navigate to the website!
You can create your own custom landing page based on whatever you want."

"Add how to steps!"

"@alastir 100% agree I was just talking about that this morning"
