Neverwinter Nights 2 Forums

[The Guildmaster]

We'd like to announce the grand opening of the Official Neverwinter Nights 2 Forums! Join us for a new interview with Ferret Baudoin, lead designer, as well as many of our developers answering your questions about the game!

 

We're closing down our local NWN2 forums here at Obsidian, but for now they will be up with links to the new location.

 

Please join us at:

Thanks!

for curiosity's sake, is there any specific reason for the move? ive read some "unofficial" comments, but nothing from those who have any authority.

[Judge Hades]

I can't join you because I an banned from Bioware, Guldmaster. Gee, THANKS FOR THE BLOODY HEADS UP!

Will all the Topics of this forum been transferd to the Bioware forum? Our have we to start al over again???

[Judge Hades]

There is more to it than just our bannings, Volourn. All those posts are gone. Didn't look like they made the cross over, and there were some good stuff in those threads.

[Volourn]

"All those posts are gone."

 

Yeah, that's the only part that sucks. Not to mention, these baords are bare now with only the GD and KOTOR2 (kinda) forums worthwhile...

 

Sarge, don't whine because they banned your trolling butts. At leats Hades admits he deserved to be banned (9 out of 10 times!).

 

R00fles!

[Judge Hades]

Yeah, I did deserve to be banned, mainly because I gave honest opinions on things without sugarcoating anything. That is one thing the Bioware people can't hand and that is the honest opinion.

[~Di]

Eh. Bummer. Very disappointing turn of events.

[Judge Hades]

For the most part Biowarians don't have the back bone to take an honest opinion. When I see something stupid I call it stupid.

[Joukahainen]

I don't like the change either. I won't say why though because there are Bioware spies everywhere. *peers over shoulder nervously*

[Judge Hades]

Biwoare has the worse forums for gaming, period. They have no polls, no custom avatars, very slow loading times, their moderators are anal, their developers can't take an honest opinion. They are just simply terrible.

Why?

[Judge Hades]

Damn Bioware, thats why.

[Plooby]

Is anyone going to tell us what is going on... or is this all we are going to get?

[Dragon Lord Jones]

This really sucks .... I don't post here ofter, but I enjoy the site the way it is.

 

really, can't obsidian afford the bandwidth for nwn2 anymore.

 

this move does not sit well. i guess it will be a long time before i post again about nwn2. although i am a member over there, i don't like their boards.

 

they're confusing and ugly .

 

 

oh well, business is business, i'll look in once in awhile i guess, but a little less happily

[Minstrel]

Why are the forums at Bioware now? It was my understanding that NWN2 was being developed by Obsidian. Is Bioware doing this because they want their name associated with NWN2?

@The Guildmaster: aye unfortunate development. I like the features and settings much better on these boards, plus the faster page loads (Bio has so much junk on their pages that has to load on every time, sigh).

[Drakron]

I am NOT going to Bioware forums, with things going as there is I start to question if there is a point for the existence of this very forums.

Hmm, but you just posted there.

[Drakron]

So what?

 

I followed the link expecting to see a new forum and instead I was redurected into BioWare forums and make 2 posts.

 

Go look at my posts there to realize they are several months old (about the time I got a Xbox and looked into Jade Empire, lost intrest real fast when seeing their "way of idiocy" aligment system) so I am not a active user, it likely going to be years before you see another post from me there.

It was a marketing decision by Atari. They felt it would be prudent for the NWN "community" to be located in one place, rather than spread over two seperate sites.

It has nothing to do with Bioware taking over or Obisidian not being able to afford the bandwidth or anything like that.

[Grov]

I think its a good call.

 

And I suppose your presence wont get affected by the move...

[Judge Hades]

There are several reasons why this is a bad decision.

 

First off the Bioware forums are ancient in their coding. It takes, even on DSL, almost a minute to fully load. I hate to see how long it would take on dial up. Next those forums don't have the options that these forums have. No custom avatars, no poll systems, and no attachments. Also they have it in that aweful color scheme of theirs.

 

These are all good reasons not to go to the Bioware Boards. Add to the fact the the mods and the developers there are a bunch of anal retentives that can stand any opinion that isn't from a gushing fanbois praising their games it is just a bad place to be.

[Ellester]

This is a repost (slightly changed). But this seems to be a more logical place to state my complaint.

 

Someone let Obsidian or Bio know that Bio has too strong of a security system (or incompetent coding). From work I have never been able to post of Bio

[Percival]

To the poster above, don't worry, you wont be missing much, from the way posts are going on Bioware's board, it'll take them 6 months to catch up with the discussions we've done to death on these boards.
