This no bumping thing is making threads die

[SonnyTater-1204]

Ive already said that this is a problem with the new forums

@SonnyTater-1204

Everything is great on the new forums, but if you make a post and it gets no traction, it will die because you can no longer post (aka bump) on your own threads until someone else does. So it has become almost like reddit in a sense where if you have someone important to say, you should try to post it at a peak time and hope it gets traction, if not, it will just die, leaving you to delete it and try again later.

RIP “bumping”

Part of the problem here is the lack of sub-forums. Too many topics are created in General that have no business being there.

@SonnyTater-1204

Why is this not a thing?

My thoughts exactly. Sub-forums for balance discussions for each hero, game suggestions, map discussions, etc.

I really feel that sub-forums needs to happen because there are a LOT of good topics that cant gain traction because so many topics are created in general.

We NEED a way to sort through this stuff. Especially with the loss of “pages” and live updates. Everything almost seems harder to follow.

Thank God for notifications. If that didn’t exists this new site would be a hot mess

Ive created a post here that can’t seem to get any traction because of this new forums, where as the same topic that I simply copy and pasted here had over 650 likes and 18 pages of comments

Hey everyone! Im back!

First post on the new forums and I want to bring back to everyone’s attention something that I had posted on the old forums.

We NEED to see our team (especially our healers) through the walls and at the VERY LEAST we need new chevrons. (plus symbol for support, shield for tanks, bullets for DPS)

My last post about this lived on the forums for about a year with over 650 upvotes and over 15 pages of comments. It was a very supported idea by everyone and we never had any response to it.

I will copy and paste my old post here:

Honestly. I don’t understand why this isn’t already a thing. When your supports need your help, it would be easier for everyone if the supports could just be seen through the walls.

Supports see non supports through walls already

Non supports should see supports through walls

That Mercy that is slowly falling to her death because she has been pushed off the edge and she is yelling to you to come to the edge and youre all like… uh what edge… then she dies

Or that Ana who is trying to land some shots on you but you walk around the one wall thinking Ana is there, while she is on the other side of something, then you have this strange game of tag with Ana because you are having a hard time getting in her LoS

Or when you are asking for some orbs to the face but Zenny boy is hiding around the corner but you don’t know where he is…

It would be a game improvement for supports and non supports making everyone’s life easier. Please can we have this. Please

Also if you wanted to take it one step further, put in the top left (like in Junkensteins Revenge and in spectator mode) the 6 hero portraits that show who is alive, hp, ult status, etc. Why force me to constantly hit TAB when you can just put this vital information on the screen. I know this would make Ana’s life so much better. She could see who is close to ult so she could land her Nana boosts easier.

EDIT: I still think, several months later, that the game could still use this feature

Alright folks.

Lets keep the discussion going on the new forums!

(hopefully we will get some kind of reply on this)

edit: apparently you can’t bump your own posts anymore, so if a topic dies when you post it… thats it? Youll have to delete it and try again like this is reddit now?
