maggotheart Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 (edited) The official Torment 2 boards? I know Wasteland ones were a bit too scary for me. Me too. A nice look, but a tad uninviting plus a wonky interface. I could never tell if my postings were successful there. I really don't like that board. I found that there are a handful of regular users who constantly posted novel-length replies to each other that were (in my opinion) rather devoid of content and it would push everybody elses replies off the page and suffocate any real discussion. I ended up making a lot of posts in the 'we want your mission ideas' thread and mostly just ignored the rest. For what it's worth, I liked your posts over there Edited April 19, 2013 by maggotheart
alanschu Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 I left when it started to devolve into Wasteland vs. Fallout and how any deviation/inclusion from certain aspects just meant it's not a Wasteland game!
mkreku Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Oh gee, never saw that behaviour before. Especially not on these boards! 1 Swedes, go to: Spel2, for the latest game reviews in swedish!
alanschu Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Yeah it happens here. It just seemed to be more prevalent when I was posting. It also helps that in posting here, I don't really post about Project Eternity. I remember seeing a lot of what it meant to be an Infinity Engine game as well. I don't really go over to the PE forums here anymore in large part because of that.
entrerix Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 i never go to the PE boards and i basically live on this website too many weirdos over there 2 Killing is kind of like playin' a basketball game. I am there. and the other player is there. and it's just the two of us. and I put the other player's body in my van. and I am the winner. - Nice Pete.
Majek Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 Indeed. We live just fine in this part of the forum. 1.13 killed off Ja2.
Hurlshort Posted April 19, 2013 Posted April 19, 2013 The people in the PE forums probably think we are bizarre for coming to Obsidian and rarely discussing anything to do with the company 5

Blarghagh Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 The PE boards terrify me. I am hyped for the game but any opinion posted there just gets flamed for not being enough yet simultaneously too much like either Baldur's Gate or Icewind Dale.

Oner Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 Funny, I didn't get these negative impressions aside from the occasional arrogant dimwit. Though I don't bother keeping up with the 20,000,000 page threads.

Labadal Posted April 20, 2013 Posted April 20, 2013 I visit there fairly often (less now compared to when it was announced). I mostly check out the threads to see if any of the devs have anything to say.
Drowsy Emperor Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 I think those forums are hung up on technical questions which I have little desire to discuss. The stuff I'm interested in, like story and characters, and visual design is still pretty much an unknown. И погибе Српски кнез Лазаре,И његова сва изгибе војска, Седамдесет и седам иљада;Све је свето и честито билоИ миломе Богу приступачно.
BruceVC Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 I enjoy the main PE forums, there are some people who seriously spend loads of time discussing interesting points like Female Armour, Romance\Sex and the Design a Monster threads started by one of our regular members JFSOCC. But of course the word "interesting" is relative. I do find myself just naturally gravitating to this section of the Obsidian forums because I do it more insightful and topics more varied "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived. It is what difference we have made to the lives of others that will determine the significance of the life we lead" - Nelson Mandela
NerdBoner Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 i never go to the PE boards and i basically live on this website too many weirdos over there Yeah its the Bioware travelling circus all over again. have you been on the BSN? it is quite possibly one of the most disgusting places on the internet...I feel less bad about being a part of the human race watching holocaust slideshows than I do whenever i venture into that sh*t hole.
Wombat Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Aside from being little busier, personally, I'm bit tired of "internet politics". I don't mind any opinion from any part of board or community and I don't like to be involved with political issues when simply talking of game functions. There must be better ways to use boards whether through voting system, search functions or any other ways to filter posts/topics. The net is just mass of info and we cannot find any usefulness if the data is not sorted according to our needs.

Come on BSN isn't that bad, but you did make me chuckle with your hyperbole "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

melkathi Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 I don't think I'll ever venture near a Numenera forum. I had enough "A billion years? That is not possible! Monte knows nothing." from a real life aquaintance. 1 Unobtrusively informing you about my new ebook (which you should feel free to read and shower with praise).

Monte knows nothing." from a real life aquaintance. Hi Melk I haven't been to the Numenera forums yet, they sound a little hectic for my personal taste "Abashed the devil stood and felt how awful goodness is and saw Virtue in her shape how lovely: and pined his loss” John Milton "We don't stop playing because we grow old; we grow old because we stop playing.” - George Bernard Shaw "What counts in life is not the mere fact that we have lived.

melkathi Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 I haven't been there either. The prospect scares me, since I the reactions from "hardcore rpgers" I have seen was one that would get on my nerves.

Serrano Posted April 21, 2013 Posted April 21, 2013 Even though the kickstarter has ended, the paypal pledges are still running until the 30th of this month. At the moment there is just under $100,000 to go before hitting the final stretch goal.

I'm usually not one to judge, but that was rather distasteful. "Lulz is not the highest aspiration of art and mankind, no matter what the Encyclopedia Dramatica says."
