Dangermouth Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Not my favourite thing: fora/forums. I do think I should pop back di tanto in tanto just to see if I have my badge yet, but other than that as I see this whole process it's a case of Obsidian getting on with it and letting me know occasionally when anything of note happens or more involvement from me is required. BUT of course I don't want to miss out on anything salient. How does one strike a balance? Ta. "People dislike the popular because it's crap" "HTH. Because it means I can talk down to you some more." "I can do you a quote a day, but you'll have to pay. Preferably with suicide." "You want original? Why? It's not as though that's ever touched your life before." "A woman scorned is a fun thing. Let's boogie." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DocDoomII Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 If you don't care about the forum, I suppose you can just check P:E homepage once or twice a week.

LadyCrimson Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I think their hopeful intention is to make "updates" once every week or couple weeks. So if those are all you're interested in, I'd say yes, just check the P.E. official page or the Announcement forum here a few times a month. “Things are as they are.

TwinkieGorilla Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 How often is it necessary to visit the forums? You should at least be visiting the forums on the last Sunday of every month. Should you choose not to, the fabric which makes up the existence you believe yourself to be a part of will begin unraveling and you will suffer unending madness. 2 hopw roewur ne?

Amentep Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 (edited) How often is it necessary to visit the forums? You should at least be visiting the forums on the last Sunday of every month. Should you choose not to, the fabric which makes up the existence you believe yourself to be a part of will begin unraveling and you will suffer unending madness. Sadly reading the forums even as little as the last Sunday of every month will probably *also* result in unending madness. Its a vicious cycle! Seriously I'll use me and Wasteland 2 as an example - I only occasionally lurk over there because I've played *maybe* 5 minutes worth of the original game. I don't really have any strong opinions on how the game "should" or "could" be, so am content to see what happens. Unlike with PE where I've played all the IE games and all of the Obsidian games so many more opinions (even if, ultimately, I'm okay with just seeing what Obsidian comes up with here too). Edited October 22, 2012 by Amentep I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that? At what point on the graph do "must" and "cannot" meet?

Ieo Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 Minimum required number of times is 42/day! What are you saying? Just don't close the browser. That's right--I only visit once a day. Honest. How the hell do I have over 900 posts? If you don't like forums, skip them entirely! Go to http://eternity.obsidian.net Though to be honest, I liked the Kickstarter updates because those were always emailed out. I don't suppose Obsidian could do an email newsletter.... 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? PE will not have co-op/multiplayer, console, or tablet support (sources): [0] [1] [2] [3] [4] [5] [6] [7] Write your own romance mods because there won't be any in PE. "But what is an evil?

DocDoomII Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 @Amentep: I rarely go to the Wasteland 2 forum because the layout is extremely bothersome to the eye.

JFSOCC Posted October 22, 2012 Share Posted October 22, 2012 I once left the forum for two and a half days! then I came back yesterday. Honestly though, unless you have very little do do than build your own hype all day, once or twice a week seems easily enough, spend 20 mins reading all the new threads. if you click on the white icon it automatically goes to the first unread post, so you won't have to get behind on the discussion. it's a very active forum right now though, so you might have a lot of reading to catch up on, if you want to keep track of everything. Remember: Argue the point, not the person. Remain polite and constructive. Friendly forums have friendly debate. There's no shame in being wrong. If you don't have something to add, don't post for the sake of it. And don't be afraid to post thoughts you are uncertain about, that's what discussion is for.---Pet threads, everyone has them. I love imagining Gods, Monsters, Factions and Weapons. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have serious difficulties to read whatever thread in there. i don't remember it being THAT bad. *goes to look* lol...I go there to look and the first thread I see is about romances... Anyhow, looks to be okay to me, maybe a bit too busy with the background and all - I do prefer simple colors and all to textured background images. I cannot - yet I must. How do you calculate that?

Hassat Hunter Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 Well, personally I like all the talk. And so much... if you skip a day 8 new pages of new content waiting, it's crazy. But if you () are not interested in talking I suggest just adding the announcement forum to watch, so you'll get any important updates from the devs made there in your inbox. ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created.

JayDGee Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 it is an answer only you can answer for yourself I'm afraid. How much time do you want to spend on the forums? If you are only wanting updates from oblivion then you don't really ever have to visit, the kickstarter page will highlight updates and email you, twitter and facebook will also keep you updated. If you are interested in community discussion and speculation then visit as often as your free time and curiosity allow. None of this is really happening. There is a man. With a typewriter. This is all part of his crazy imagination. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hassat Hunter Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 If you are only wanting updates from oblivion then you don't really ever have to visit Yeah, I suggest the Bethesda boards instead (j/k, but the amount of times Obsidian and Oblivion get confused suprises me) ^ I agree that that is such a stupid idiotic pathetic garbage hateful retarded scumbag evil satanic nazi like term ever created.

Katrar Posted October 23, 2012 Share Posted October 23, 2012 (edited) Optimally you will hire a personal assistant to refresh the forums every 3 minutes, make a note of any important developments, and given you verbal updates every hour on the hour. If that cannot be managed, personally checking in once per week or so should suffice. Edited October 23, 2012 by Katrar Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
