The Red Queen, I think a lot of this problem could be solved by limiting posts in these AA patch 7 complaint threads to people who are actually unhappy with the changes and want to discuss / propose solutions. For some reason, people who are happy with the patch 7 changes keep coming into these threads and repeating the same arguments over and over until the thread gets locked. The audience for these threads is Larian, not forum members who already got the changes they wanted. If they don’t like this suggestion, they should just open a separate thread. Then we can all keep our sanity and Larian can read the feedback and make their own decision.
No, can't do that. Everyone has the right to express their opinion on the proposal. That's just life. In the threads where we asked to remove the face of horror, people also came and said how wrong we were, that everything was fine, nothing needed to be changed. And that's normal, everyone has something to say, you can't do without it. Discussions are inevitable.
Yeah I'm confused. When we started the patch 6 thread you guys came to that, and Red Queen said discussion was perfectly fine. When you express your opinion as feedback, people will inevitably have different opinions and feedback to give. It's not personal, nor with ill intent. I and many others simply disagree.
We engaged with this style of discussion with many of you on ours. I even got some good movies recommendations and made a really good new friend.
As Flooter said on the previous page, let’s not make this discussion about other fans.
Can I ask everyone not to incite discussions around previous community drama or infighting, and to move on when moderators request this? (In fact, our forum rules have been updated today to clarify our expectations on this front.)
We all need to let bygones be bygones, and try to move forward constructively. I very much hope we can do that without having to segregate fans with opposing views, as that really doesn’t seem in the spirit of the forums.
Everyone is welcome to share their perspective on any suggestion in any thread if they express themselves in line with forum rules, and come into a thread with the intention of engaging respectfully with opposing opinions and not by trying to shut them down by accusations of bad faith, of condoning the unacceptable or by derailment or repeatedly bringing up sensitive and upsetting topics. As long as we can avoid any more of the latter, I hope we can all enjoy some healthy, friendly debate.
