The above really, opening that forum to GD would create a large mess that would be constantly have to be moderated for no real gain when an easy solution as noted above is there.
Any council member wishing for feedback can make a thread in GD and link it to their Council thread, with a ‘I would appreciate any thoughts and feedback on this’.
Any non-council person that wishes to discuss a council thread can also link the thread in the post, which not only notifies the thread creator as mentioned, but also adds a link section under the main post with all the places that have linked the thread, so anyone reading the council thread can see the links for places talking about it.
was gonna post a gif of a starship trooper scene where the guy touches the brain bug and said it’s afraid but preview won’t load so have a URL instead. (maybe it’ll load soon?)
It can be considered that, if the person comes off as attention seeking, spammy, manipulative, etc. Like they are trying to build their brand and create engagement for the sake of engagement. However once in a while taking a topic to GD is fine. Just consider carefully if it would be a constructive discussion about the issue.
I bet there’s a misscommunication between players, devs regarding this recent thread (and wowhead title).
it was about rewards and then WoWhead took Devs response and it was turned into a punish leaver thing…At this moment, I don’t know if Chimes talked about leavers or Rewards for participation since he’s a reward Dev.
Also, a lot of Council threads could have that kind of response but Devs should be clear about which part of the topic, they’re talking about.
This even lead to a question during a M+ Q&A on which Morgan didn’t knew about the topic.
They mean the targeted feedback threads on the Council forum. When they want Council feedback slotted into subject related baskets, and want to hear thoughts, they make their own Blue threads to direct the Council to. That comment was not directed to the GD forums/or meant for here.
They do the same with PTRs/Betas for some of their games. Like, we just patched this into the PTR tell us in this thread what you think.
The last time I interacted on the GD, I got a lot of poop over me, I had to use a lot of skill (I work in mental health care) to not let it get to me and try to shift the conversation to a more positive tone.
This in itself rubs me wrong. We have to sign a ToS when go in-game claiming they’re committed to provide a space for everyone. The whole Blizzard PR machine went nuts after the Shadowlands lawsuits happened to show everyone they’re actually good. But that’s the thing, it still seems it’s all just a PR farce to save face. The little man is still looked down on because the big shots set the rules.
I’ll eat my words when teams from the RWF get banned for gear trading, buying gold and exploiting.
Council is a group selected to communicate with the CMs, Devs, Artists, Accessability folks, etc.
MVP programs are selected for participants to interact with the forum posters. Tech/CS for example provides links to the right support ticket paths, explains policies, links to knowledge base articles, etc. Other Community game specific programs focus on just being friendly and answering player questions. They did not exist to collect or provide feedback to Devs. They were people who were already being helpful (supposedly), and were ok with having their text turned green.
They are MUCH better. I was very happy to have my green back. After a decade I am really comfy with it. mmmm mold and moss
