Hard Core Thoughts

[Valerianus]

On the topic of the forums as a whole are you able to move to an upvote/downvote system like Reddit as currently the topics that float to the top are the ones that are the most controversial and have players arguing rather than ones the player base as a whole agrees with and as such gives limited feedback to the devs. The current system also rewards people arguing back and forth with toxicity and needs to be cleaned up manually later rather than a semi-self governing system.

In general the ddo subreddit is much less toxic than here and I think the forum systems are why.

no. absolutely not. sorry for the harsh tone but, personally, i'm strongly and totally against such rubbish.

you might as well just delete the forum then, you are proposing some censoring system driven by socks account and moral police and lobby groups, the death of a forum, the death of free speech, sort of. regulations by users is a fail. clearly the ddo subreddit is less "toxic" why ppl that don't agree are downvoted i guess. i would also like to disagree about the ddo forum being toxic. it's not toxic, not even close.

ppl agree and disagree, and it is a good thing.


ssg is 100% doing the right thing about this, they are in charge, they moderate, and no one else is allowed to.

much too trivial.
Should have much more realistic rules like say No healing. Ever. Anywhere. or perhaps 1hp per 24 hours.

If you wanted a truly hardcore server, You could just strip out all of the bonus HP from autogrants and trees (especially reaper trees), and restrict everyone to 28BP. Good luck making it through Korthos/Borderlands with your 6HP wizard.

The way we've always dealt with "proper forum" reports is based on complaints, so yeah, lots of topics in General that have separate sub forums, but I'll only move them if I get enough complaints. If there is wider interest in us taking a harder line on moving threads I am fine with that, but I'm trying to respond to the wants of the forums here. If enough of you feel we need to keep Hardcore threads posted in General in General rather than move them to the Hardcore server forum I will add it to the decision-making on these reports.

I for one have absolutely no interest in hardcore, and any post about hardcore in general should zip right into the hardcore section asap.

If it was up to me, and it is not...
I would keep Hardcore posts on General >WHEN< HCL is active.
When the event is over, I would move all of that
down to the respective sub-thread.

It makes sense, but everyone will hate it.
Because - HCL is Hyper-polarized.

Some love it alot.
Some hate it worse than lag.

There is very little compromise going on.

I have long given up trying to get anyone to embrace the
ideal of live and let live.

It would seem that the only place PvP is active is
on the forums.

PEACE

I'd be more OK with "hardcore stuff being here" as a policy, if for example, the first sticky wasn't from SEASON TWO.

Fine, make this the hardcore forum, but actually make it the hardcore forum. Put announcements here instead of facebook. Etc.

Again, organization of these forums is a mess, and is apparently based on "how many people complain", which again, is not a policy.

Why not make it possible to buy a "to the top of the reaper point list" certificate in the ddo store. Then, I can continue getting past lives on my main server and still brag to my friends like I'm good.

Sounds to me as if HCL was rather a competition. Not an event.


The problem I personally have is that the General Discussions forum is currently flooded with HCL posts. There is almost no "general talk" anymore.

There are currently two posts that are obviously about HC on the front page. Can hyperbolic talk be banned also ? Where "almost no" == 93% of the posts?

How isn't blatant lying against the rules here?
