IGN - Our Community is "Amazing"

"Greatest community of all time"

I don't think they play the game, just interview a few players that want attention.

The constant "Know the fight one derp and you're out" type pf groups?
Everything is instance and pf is server wide.
The constant horror stories of players being forced to skip cutscenes, speed runs, and QQing in dungeons? (Although I don't mind any of those except QQs.)

How does all this promote a great community?

I know it was like this to begin with, but I think since Commendations and Kick? Feature, this has toned down. I haven't seen abuse at all in DF since then. Of course, the 'being nice' bit is still missing, and often its like being with a bunch of NPCs, just less talkative. But still an improvement over before.

Have you at least seen it get better since these new features were added?

Honestly I don't need to do dungeons much anymore thanks to being a tank, dr bonus, and extremes. DF isn't bad if you know your stuff most of the time. Players only start raging when things don't go smoothly. Commendations probably did help a little but not much. There was a thread about how players were forcing others to kick them out of Blayfox DFs because they don't want to fight the last boss.

Most players only play in their "bubble" so they aren't really doing much content with the community. The game isn't designed that way where you really have to rely on the community for much. Everything is instance and just boss fights. If you look at content descriptions in PF that's more of how the community is really like. You're awesome if you fit in and can "dance" if not, don't join our group.

The community isn't terrible but IGN obviously don't play the game, they just gave players the opportunity to be on camera.

I'm proud that I found a great FC full of awesome people but before that yeah a bunch of ahole running around.

I actually thought that video was one of IGNs "subtle" sarcasms, when I watched it this morning. They've been known to do that in the past.

I'd have to agree with some posters here in that the in-game community is not remarkably exceptional; I've had far more positive experiences with people in FFXI and WoW than I have here. But everyone's mileage will vary.

Plus, this is IGN. They get paid to exaggerate and blow smoke up peoples' rear ends.

I've found it to be incorrect when people say server changes don't make a difference. My FC and I were miserable on another server.

We are extremely happy here. Yes, of course there are still a few rotten in the bunch. But overall, much much better.

But at the same time, there have been people who said the server we left was much better than the server they left.

lolz, IGN article.

They clearly didn't come to these forums.

I guess I'm lucky because I've been playing since launch and the negative encounters I had are probably less than ten in both world & DF/PF. I used to be on leviathan and it was amazing there, and on balmung now and its fantastic.

There are good eggs and bad eggs in this game, you just have to know how to search for them or be patient in searching for them.

Also: you can't spell "ignorant" without "IGN" ... So, there's that.
