The problem is that I can’t really talk about forums without someone getting slightly disgruntled with me about it in general.
I’ll find a work around since the communities are so intertwined.
Maybe different tactic? Or see why they are disgruntled? Generally people love to hear themselves talk (it’s a psychological thing) so it seems weird they wouldn’t want to give an opinion.
Nah, it’s mostly the players who are not staying. And there is literally no place for giving feedback, at least not that I would be aware of.
Sounds like that’s an action items for a mod. Forum feedback spot? Or a subforum in the feedback one that exists?
I believe could make an additional category for changes that only lets the people who made them + the mods access to look at them.
I’m not a discord mod and they recently made a divide between discord mods and forum mods.
I could ask the team there if FoL discussion could also constitute as on topic.
It’s need to be a well thought out discussion between the mod team, community management, and create a lifecycle. Similar to how a video game one should be.
Mainly it needs to be something that works for the game mods, forum mods, community management, and the players whatever is decided. Not a rushed tacked on thing.
Right.
Is that an intentional by design thing? Or are the forums meant to be an outreach to bring players in?
A community manager should be in discussion with Xblade (and other devs sorry I only know him) to see the vision of what the forums and the game is. Games live and die by their communities and advertising so things should be intentional
That’s generally why I consider polls given at the end of the game not very useful.
That’s mainly what is currently happening with the FoL Changes Thread, as we take a lot of community feedback.
Hmm
This is a lot of stuff to think about

I don’t mean to bombard at all here if it feels like that I am sorry. But mainly games that are multiplayer rely on their audience to thrive. So hence audience retention is as important as code. While I am a computer programmer, there is a very fine line I had to work with on some games in the past. Assuming distinctions where there are none is imho a problem.
It is constricted on mechanical aspects mostly.
That’s where there needs to be more.
I think discussion on non-mechanical stuff is harder for people, right?

It is, but there are ways to get people talking.
Specifically a planned avenue between players and mods, be it a forum/discord/thread needs to be a thing. Priestess since her name is literally a community guide may have a better idea for me as to how that should go.
I’m afraid it’s even more controverse than the mechanical aspects, and exactly this is where it is important that the loud people aren’t dominating everything.
