The thread counters mean nothing if people choose not to post. There could be 4x the visitation as compared to the amount of posting. Sometimes there is nothing to say thus no point in posting. Again, most people do not read. Some do read. Some do more selective searches. You assume read and post counts define activity. Once the post counts accumulate into the hundreds some folks just tune out and assume the thread has been turned into a troll minstrel show.
The pinned thread for the current season has over 100 posts. Why would I be reading through what was originally an announcement thread after the 30 day mark, when Iâve already read the season announcement blog article? Letâs crowd everything pertaining to (and not pertaining to) the current season into one massive, unstructured, vertical silo. Yes, letâs disincentivize reading by clumping stuff together in an unorganized fashion and hope the search function can save us.
Well, if youâre only interested in Blizzard posts / announcements then you could indeed just click the Blizz Tracker each day and see if thereâs anything newâŚ
Or trust that someone with more than 10k posts isnât going to mislead me by sayingâŚ
⌠thus I would be looking for a NEW stickied thread that would be addressing the performance issues (not a season announcement thread) especially since the performance issues are not limited to the current season. I would expect that the update fix info., based on the performance problem lingering across seasonal boundaries, would not be buried in post 134 of an announcement thread and that I would not have to scroll through Blizz tracker to find the update info.
Maybe you misspoke by accident while typing quickly. Maybe it was laziness or lack of sleep. How the hell would I know?
Thank you for letting me know that blizz tracker exists, but your post from Aug 20th did not say to hit the Blizz tracker, check the season announcement thread, or go on an easter egg hunt through the bug report and tech support forums. Also, do you really think I should put any trust in blizz tracker when leaked info. from twitter doesnât show up there?
@Kargon,
You are really stuck⌠If:
Iâm logged out
I scan the the thread titles and see the post count on a thread is 200+
by my guest-imates I last read post 22
⌠I may or may not have the time to read through the other 178. However, Iâve visited the forums. I have not logged in, posted, or clicked on an individual thread. If I go to a D3 devâs twitter page that constitutes a visit. He may or may not have more visitors than D3 general page 1.
When I said âpretty sureâ I was basing it on the fact that the issue had been outstanding a long time and theyâd actually brought up the PTR specifically to investigate the issue and, having found the cause and patched it, I expected they would have made a new sticky in General Discussion. I wasnât trying to mislead anyone. I genuinely expected that theyâd want to make sure as many people as possible saw this had been fixed.
Of course, the CMs did something else instead and tucked it away in an existing thread. I genuinely have no clue why theyâd make news about fixing a bug that had been outstanding for over a year hard to find. But, hey, I also have no clue why the CMs only post things on Twitter about a quarterly blog update being a week late rather than also saying something on the official forums.
No, I genuinely expected a new sticky in General Discussion.
Bro your above explanation would have been all that was needed, instead ofâŚ
I agree a fix to a bug that has affected an uneven group of players and has been around for 2 seasons or more should not be tucked away deep in an announcement thread. The fact that I did not see anything based on where I checked for more than a month lead to thread creation. At this point the season is passed the 75% mark, I donât see a reason to bother with it. Weâll see what they do with next season.
Hooray D4 Quarterly update is up. I think I spent about 4 to 5 mins just checking out the videos. Nice work sound team(s).
No the point is we disagree with you and you demand proof of what we believe and you supply none.
If we are required to supply proof and make a big deal about it because we didnât supply proof and it is a requirement to supply proof for us with statements like
We have to supply proof on your say so but you donât supply proof for your own statements
Whatâs good for the goose is good for the gander
Or is it one rule for you and one rule for everyone else
I just have issue with people that require everyone else to supply proof of why they think the way they do but the person demanding the proof doesnât hand out there own proof as to why they think they are right and everyone else is wrong
