C2B Posted October 16, 2012 Author Share Posted October 16, 2012 (edited) So far I haven't seen a problem. As I wrote there isn't really one yet. But it can expand into something bigger very fast. This is the issue with large fan groups, or any group in general. We have power in a group. We have influence in a group. This is something that comes naturally in a process, it's how unions work. We have certain responsibilities, especially as a fan-group. And we have to discuss them. That's what this thread is about. @Ieo You're misunderstanding, the group, the order using their influence. It's a union now? It's not. That was an example of groups that gain influence the larger they are. I'm pretty positive on the reactions in this thread I must say and they give hope.

Ieo Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Yup, this thread is mainly for prevention so the actual issue does not arise and the order does not get misused by its members. And I didn't state it's specific about dlux but about the reactions. Which again, aren't a problem YET. But can become so, if we don't discuss the problems and influence of the order. Which we should. Oh, you mean misuse by Obsidian Order members, not Obsidian? Er, reactions, by whom at what? So, as a preventative measure.... wh.... ? Uh I'm so confused. So how about that second city.... The KS Collector's Edition does not include the Collector's Book. Which game hook brought you to Project Eternity and interests you the most?

Majek Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 Order has influence? LOL the order is nothing more than a successful marketing strategy. And OE didn't even have to come up with it. They just got more money because people wanted silly titles. Of course they'll play along. If anyone thinks being part of the order gives him any more influence, then that person is really a dupe. 1 1.13 killed off Ja2. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ansia Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 eh, the problem isn't with the order, because the people who use it as leverage have tons of other terrible ways of making their ideas seem more legitimate . The problem is the tendency of people on both sides to start throwing tantrums. Which anyone can agree is not okay. Emotional, okay, but when you start name calling there's an issue. People just need to realize a thought-out calm rationalization of ideas is a lot stronger than baseless comparisons and emotional gibs. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

deamon451 Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 We have as much power and influence as a resonable, well documented argument to why something in the Beta (for those who have access to it) either works or doesn't. Anything else is just observations based on our various experiences with different game systems and how they handle things like XP or health/stamina. For me, game mechanics that I don't agree with are not going to ruin P:E, a unsatistifing plot ending that seems tacked on will. Sorry...ME3 still grates and was even more disappointing to me than the Star Wars prequels.

Kai Posted October 16, 2012 Share Posted October 16, 2012 My only demand (and its sooooooo small) is that P:E doesn't have an ending like Mass Effect 3. You mean putting together a triology with an amazing story in the first two singleplayer focused games, and then decides to focus a ton on the previously non-existant multiplayer part of the game, giving the players the least epic ending in the entire triology: the colourful choice of red, green and blue? Even after the DLC. That game made me hate multiplayer in CRPGs so badly that I actually saw the "no multiplayer" in P:E as a huge pro. Sad but true. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think the discussions are great. Again, it's about the order itself. It can easily be quite influental on the development process due to its now big size. The order IS on Obsidian's mind. Visible Groups of people ARE influental. They are on Obsidian's mind and due to that have influence already. This is a normal process in society. We just shouldn't misuse the position of the order, in any case (imo) and everybody should be clear on what it actually represents. That's why I made this thread. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

From time to time I just don't understand the mods..... What is senseless? Discussing responsibility and how we position ourselves? The term "we" just don't exist. The OOoE was just an idea to promote additional pledges for PE but there is no "goal" beyond that. So there is nothing to discuss about. If someone thinks that he/she must claim something in the name of the order he/she just talks nonsense because he/she can only talk in his/her own name.

There's quite a lot of us in the OO and I doubt there will be much of a prevailing code of conduct really.

Reading an article on the newest DLC (epic adventure and content that doesn't mean a thing!!) for it pissed me off so much that I went from the $140 tier to the $750. You mean the 10$ DLC that took me roughly 4 hours to play through (I never play new content very fast) and offered me pretty much zero replayability? It certainly made me quite exited when OE used the term "expansion" instead of "DLC". Altough in fairness, the OWB for FO:NV was a DLC, and an awesome one as well.
