I remember why I don't get on forums

[Sigma5]

well when he says validation, that's usually just upvotes unless its referring to something else.

peace out dawg

This is why I’m on here to disagree with every negative Nancy. :rofl:

but if you disagree with all the negativity, which is a lot, arent you the negativ one?

[Kaurhz]

There's still some mean spirited and nasty individuals on here. The bigger question is if they're so miserable why spend 15 a month. It makes 0 sense.

Literally cheaper than tea, coffee or hot chocolate from my workplace.

You're also laboring under the assumption that people complaining about the game don't like anything about it, which is simply untrue.

I'm as negative as they come, but I still have a decent time just fishing or loitering around in Eureka.

[0blivion]

Yeah.

I hang out here because I am addicted to old internet forums, this place feels like a relic from 2005 and that is strangely comfortable, it's probably how Hidetaka Miyazaki feels about poison swamps, it's full of death, pestilence, and everything awful with life as a concept, but you still can't not have it.

Strangely, I relate to this. I miss the old forums I used to run around on.

e/: YIKES the ableism from Sigma5 upthread. Imagine calling people mean spirited while using schizophrenic as an insult.

Yeah I love old-school forums. I like Final Fantasy XIV. But the XIV forums can be very, very toxic.

Yeah that's a good example of toxic behavior on the forums.

It's unfortunate that the community teams have to wade through all of the poison to find some genuinely beneficial feedback to the game.

Negative? No!
Silly? Yes!

[Valence]

So OP you go on forums for validation? I mean why does it bother you if someone doesn't like something that you do, or vice versa?


"Not liking some aspect of the game" is not the same as "miserable".

Purchasing a video game doesn't mean marrying it and unconditionally loving everything about it.

It's been the modus operandi of every white knight lurking on those forums: constant ad hominems on negative criticisms trying to pass their posters for haters and people that spend money on a game they don't enjoy.
It's superficial reading at best and often malicious in nature.

Fact of the matter is all of those are essentially butthurt that people dare criticize something they enjoy. Perhaps they're also afraid that the devs would "listen to criticism" and change the game in a way that threaten their enjoyment directly, which is the most logical explanation I can come up with.
Else why are they even here? Most of them don't actually post anything positive about the game either, they're just there to constantly shoot down negative criticism, which is pretty telling.

If you see a forum post that violates the rules, don't be afraid to click the "Report Post" icon to submit the details directly to the moderation team.

Forums are there to complain, provide constructive feedback or tell something to see opinions. Not something that you do where you complain about a complain.

If you enjoy the game, nobody cares, that's fine. But we are here to express our feelings and try to make the game better because it's not in a great state and devs seem to never listen.
