Reddit vs. the Forums in the Graphics War of '24

[DiaDeem]

Generally, I trust these forums as much as I use Reddit: Very little.

I've seen people calling the new characters "abominations" and acting like the game is gonna become unplayable because their character's eyebrows are a bit thinner. NOT EVERYONE is doing this, but the general reaction in the Forums has honestly felt a bit overblown.

Also, and I'm gonna call out the Forum moderators and structure directly. Reddit doesn't let you create 200 topics to discuss the same thing over and over, where as here you can spam as many threads discussing the same things as much as you'd like. The only threads that should be open here should be the Before and After thread, and maybe one for Specific Comparisons/Feedback. A more modern (or better managed) forum would have a temporary section created specifically for the Visual Update, with moderator-created threads for each race, but this place very much so feels like the wild west, and as ancient other forums created in the early 2000s.

This is why they should be mailing out curated surveys for feedback instead of relying on an ancient php mess of a forum and some 3rd Party message board that the devs don't even control directly.

I think most people like the visual update, but some have concerns about some 3D assets affecting their characters. When you say it like that, it sounds rather reasonable and fair right? Yet look at the mess they've allowed to happen.
