Xatasha Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Forums do not make a community, people make communities. If you want better forums then post mature, interesting topics and ignore the trolls. You will always find complainers on your forums and some even write very good articles however most are just angry kids trolling Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CaptRavenous Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Been around since the game was released pretty much. Been posting on and off on the forums since I got the game and I'm sadly disappointed. Perhaps I'm not finding those golden kernel threads where there's a good community and all that, but the forums are just filled to bursting with people doing almost nothing but complaining. And any time you say anything in disagreement, you're a "fanboi" who doesn't know anything about game development (even though I majored in game design at some point in the past.) Honestly, the community (or lack there of) has made the forums nothing but a headache. :< Someone please convince me that there's hope, I wanna see an actual community! And so far it's just been the facts about girls thread that's had any luck in that department. :< (D+ for complaining about complaining? ) (F for grammar fail in the thread title.) Not leaving fast enough. Must leave faster so your threads don't post. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Varrius Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 Why leave now? I just (finally, yes) got the game and I'm having a blast so far. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sotof Posted May 11, 2012 Share Posted May 11, 2012 It could be accurate though. I mean, it certainly makes sense. And I agree, BW does a good job on the forums. Though I'm not fond of this new site look. >_> It's kind of bulky. Me too. Especially the whole 'community news' at the forum section menu.

Brosephiine Posted May 11, 2012 Author Share Posted May 11, 2012 Why leave now? I just (finally, yes) got the game and I'm having a blast so far. Totally not leaving the game. :] Although I haven't been able to play so much lately. All my settings are on low and it was running fine. Then I hit Alderaan and now EVERYTHING lags on EVERY toon. x_x I dunno what changed, but the game is getting pretty annoying to play. Me too. Especially the whole 'community news' at the forum section menu. I don't like how they increased the size of pretty much everything. I'm using a large monitor and it's still annoying.

Then I hit Alderaan and now EVERYTHING lags on EVERY toon. x_x I dunno what changed, but the game is getting pretty annoying to play. Turn down screen resolution. Worked for me until my PC went up in smoke. I don't like how they increased the size of pretty much everything. I'm using a large monitor and it's still annoying. True, though it is even larger on the Bioware Social forum if you would believe that. The fact I have to scroll down a whole page(!) to view all the threads does annoy me a little.

Ooo, that's a good idea. : D Thanks for the suggestion. :] Ugh, do they think they're catering to old people who can't read the screen?

Resolution actually helped a great deal. I have to play in windowed mode though, and not full screen windowed mode either. D: Maybe people will stop loading as black shadow people in cinematics now. o.o Shadow Person Mako is kind of scary. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

"Why XXX Will Fail" is the stupidest phrase one can possibly write on the internet when discussing a game that has yet to even be fully previewed. That's a phrase best left to thirteen year old sociopaths on Xbox Live, not for a piece of writing one assumes the author hopes readers will respect even just a little bit. I'm surprised the author didn't include homophobic slurs and anti-Semitic remarks to describe things that he thinks are "totally lame, broseph."

Who ever is running that site is getting rich. Good for them. I personally make it a habit of not following the herd. They can have it. I may play it if it actually works on XBox because my kids & grand kids play XBox. But for the PC? Multiplayer RPG console ports have a tendency to not translate well to the PC platform ... think Dungeon Siege. I may play ESO but not at the expense of SWTOR.
