Lavaar Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) I was recently directed to THIS thread in the swtor general forums, where I do not normally frequent. The thread was started by Greezt, and stirred up a lot of really productive discussion about how the general population feels about GSF. I just wanted to say that I was extremely impressed with how members of the GSF community responded on this very public thread. They provided accurate, positive, relevant and encouraging commentary which cast us all in a very positive light, and were able to rise above the negativity that some others in the thread were displaying. Stradlin, Greezt, MDVZ, Ramalina, FlavivsAetivs, LordArtemis, Homodmitrius and MaximilianPower are names I recognize (sorry if I missed anyone here) and I just wanted to say thanks for taking the time to represent this community well. After reading through that thread, I am also more hopeful for the future. I didn't realize it much until today, but the ques ARE getting better lately. I am not sure what it is, but hopefully our (mostly) positive attitudes have something to do with it! While we have pretty much written off dev involvement for the foreseeable future, do not fret! A few of us have some exciting community events coming down the pipeline to keep us busy, which will introduce some big changes, so stay tuned! Also, DomiSotto, welcome to the GSF forum and the game in general, If you have any questions, feel free to ask! Thanks everyone Edited January 21, 2016 by Lavaar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ornithopoda Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 The great attitude of the GSF community is a big part of what kept me coming back for more when I first tried it out. Hopefully this will be the experience of others who decide to give it a shot as well. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Greezt Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Keep us updated on those community events. Also, if they could be on a Thursday/Friday, I would be so so happy... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MDVZ Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 I'm glad it's been a largely civil discussion. Kudos to DomiSotto for heeding GSFers and choosing to challenge their current position, giving GSF a try, too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Drakkolich Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 Really enjoyed reading that thread today. Thanks for the heads up on it Vex! Also my favorite part was being called the "head sociopath" of GSF by MDVZ. I almost needed a new keyboard as I was taking a drink as I read that.

MaximilianPower Posted January 21, 2016 Share Posted January 21, 2016 (edited) Really enjoyed reading that thread today. Thanks for the heads up on it Vex! Also my favorite part was being called the "head sociopath" of GSF by MDVZ. I almost needed a new keyboard as I was taking a drink as I read that. lol, "top sociopath". I believe that's sig-worthy, like Verain's "most despicable" line. Context, for those that don't want to dig through that thread: And yet the guy that is arguably at the top of GSF (a chap that goes by Drakolich) does the following: Makes tutorial videos on how to fly the ships Gives one on one training to new players Has a thread on the forum called 'ask me anything' in which he answers any GSF question Streams pretty much all the time, in which you can actually hear him not being all dark-triad-y Has a thread on the GSF forum with all his ship builds If sociopaths lead the game, then he's the top sociopath....right?

Homodmitrius Posted January 24, 2016 Share Posted January 24, 2016 Guys, dont forget to support that big thread. Or we dont have anything more to say? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MaximilianPower Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Guys, dont forget to support that big thread. Or we dont have anything more to say? I, for one, haven't forgotten, nor have I run out of things to say (I never do)...I'm kinda just waiting for DomiSotto to post there again. Otherwise I'll bump it at some point and ask for an update. It doesn't matter, it's not like the devs had plans for GSF anyway Sure, but the thread has put GSF in a bit of a spotlight. Even if the devs aren't going to change anything, I think the visibility of the thread could bring new players in (already one we know of). imo, that's reason enough to try to keep it on page 1, if possible.

Lendul Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 I normally try to engage in conversation on that thread while people are at the Bioware office. On the weekends it is not really going to be seen by many officials. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not sure that thread is bringing GSF the attention it wants... Mainly because the people who commented on it weren't the type of people who're on the fence about GSF. Kudos for Domi for actually taking the challenge, though! I think a better way to get some interest in GSF is to post the next event that will happen in the general forums. Maybe hold an event for beginners only, and see how that goes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Archonitek Posted January 25, 2016 Share Posted January 25, 2016 Stock only events will probably bring in the most if posted on regular forums. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
