Ugh, as far as I know xp threads were around since the KS, I don't even remember anymore it's all a blur now. As for the Romance I don't think I even opened one, maybe when it started on Computer and Console subforum, anyways I though it was a parody thread wasn't aware that there were flamewars going on, lol.

I get what you are saying, but I don't agree on the silent treatment as far as forum discussions are concerned. Especially because key devs are having them elsewhere. But then again, this is nothing new, this topic has risen a few times since the KS and nothing has changed. It makes a world of difference when you can defend your point of view in a discussion with the guy who is supposed to take that feedback and put it in a game. If he is certain that he is right about the decision he made then it should be easy to defend that decision in a public forum. Sure there are people who only like to whine and add nothing constructive to the discussion (and I may be one of them in the eyes of the devs) but they are all to easily ignored, there are still people who put some pretty big effort in to making this game better and they should be engaged in a discussion, I am sure that nothing but positive things would result from that. Now I'm not saying that they should spend all their time here, but I'm pretty sure time could have been made since the KS for some semi-regular interactions. You +1ed Leferd. As for the word toxic, I got that from the flamewars you mentioned, those 2 are pretty interconnected. I should have quoted flamewars to avoid confusion. As for the rest, I made no comment on it because it's not true, they have time to post elsewhere. No one is asking them to spend the whole day on the forums talking to us. So did he mean the one or the other then? Make up your mind.

We are usually "toxic" (I don't think you guys relay know what toxic is) towards each other. Very rarely are we outright hostile towards the devs, we called them out on their bull**** yes, but we are not talking **** just for the sake of it. No one likes to hear someone tell them they are wrong, but in the end we giving our time to make the game better, some more then others, but still. I think criticism is much more useful then blind praise. There are exceptions I admit, but I haven't seen those people post in a while. I get that, I really do (work in QA and have NDAs of my own), but still if you chose not to exercise those freedoms then you might as well not have them.

But that's always there, how does the KS change it?

I had that ****, down to a second. In 1v1 the point is making them think that you are not rushing or you spam fighters and harass his mothership. In FFA it's easy as pie, you just pull out to the rim and let them fight amongst them self. To this day I regret not recording a match I had against a fellow rusher. Can you imagine a fight between max unit cap fleets, it was glorious. The best thing was, by the time we killed each other we had a fleet of similar size ready for another battle. I think I won in the end because he came at me from below and I managed to turn my capitals in time. The debree field from the battle was so big. Maaaan, I'm really looking forward to this.

Then why did you refer to this community?

Then why state differently, that was the whole point of this debate. You talk about endless debate and what have you,but still you spin the yarn.

Sure, but the way he said it in the stream, is a pretty roundabout way of stating it. Still doesn't change the fact that they discuss the game on others forums in a week more then they do here since the KS. Also that would mean that we the critics are not at fault and I just find that hard to believe. /s You do realize that those are updates, not discussions? Know the difference?

Maybe it's the option to do so that is freeing for him. You know, even if he doesn't want to there is the option to do so. Or he is out there on some forum (Obzidian.net) sharing the guts of the game with a handful of people and thinking to him self "Why are there so little fans willing to discuss the game...". Runs off to check if Obzidian.net really exists.

Man, I'm 99% sure that Bruce is a troll, but then there is that 1%. I mean can a person be that good of a troll?

Knock down is immersion breaking it self, I mean you kill enemies but they only knock you down?

I tend to agree, but as I say bigger games have been toppled for less. It depends on circumstance, but it's not impossible.

Then don't be that guy.

Your money. It will matter to the people who backed because to them that was a selling point. Bigger games were toppled for less, multiple times. So for a fragile thing like a KS, where word of mouth is king, I think it pays to keep your promises. I saw it and the others. How are they any different from the multiple thread the people you call out started? You would be on the chopping block too then. I mean I haven't seen them reply to any of your threads, must mean that you are insulting and oppressing them.

If PoE does well sure, otherwise I doubt it. Should the game fail, the only thing that could possibly pull them out of the ****er is if they by some miracle got their hands on the rights to do KOTOR 3 or Fallout 4(or 5, too lazy to look). Anyways, what you quoted wasn't implying their inability to get funding for the next KS, but getting away with saying that they will communicate with the backers/fans.

The problem is that game never suffered from graphics age, it just lacked new content. I played it a **** ton in multiplayer. I guess if they make a dedicated multiplayer server they can make some decent money. Man I still remember camping in deathmatches and rushing 12 capitals, only bad thing is that people usually just surrendered when they saw what I had.

They are shooting their own foot anyways. When/If the next KS project for Obsidian comes around and they say "we will communicate with you", we will just show then what happened with PoE. Not true, that is just how you chose to take it as. The problem is that anything negative about the game that is pointed out, you guys scream bloody murder about how we are abusing and offending Obs. I mean for ****s sake, some of you white knights even accused Sensuki, the most constructive guy on this forum, of the same thing... Even if by some chance what you say is true, then why would Chris say that communication with the fans/backers is his favorite thing, twice? edit: They chose to communicate, just not on this forum. If the problem is that they do not like it here, then they should change the rules and start giving out bans. This is after all their own forum. Though I think that forum would look pretty one sided and I doubt there would be any worthwhile discussion going on, after all there is only so much you can reply to, "you rock obs", "this game is perfect", "OMG I can wait to play this".

Should have also added that the game does look great, I just hope that it's the same for gameplay.

Then why did he talk about fan interaction at all? Disingenuous of him in either case. Though there is always the possibility that he is here talking and discussing as one of us...hmmm...which one would he be...

Scrapped the 280l, will try to return it tomorrow. The pump on the thing is god awful, at least as far as the noise is concerned. My next try will probably be Corsair GT 110, if/when it appears in my country. Considering going for the 980gtx, will probably go for the 970gtx as performance is 10% less but the price is 30% less.

I'm so sad. Came across an epic instagram, with a very "gifted" lady. You guys would have loved it.

This was one of those, lets change it for the sake of changing it moments in PoE. I didn't like the system when I heard about it and I still don't like it. It brings 0 gameplay to PoE. edit: congrats on 4k gfted1

PoE was supposed to be close to IWD2 in regards to combat, at least that was the pitch.

You can skip the narrative, you can't skip the combat. So yeah...
