Can we not have another new sub forum entitled happy skyrim

Post » Fri Jun 08, 2012 1:43 pm

it seems to be the trend to bash the old school Morrowind players and treat them as if they still wear bleached jeans and mullets from the 1980's unable and unwilling to move on, it is also highly annoying to find so many people acting like the "Whinge police" and it feels that if you dare say anything critical regarding skyrim you run the risk of mockery and decapitation.

As the posters above mentioned, A section of the forum which can only be filled with fawning happy comments and one sided sycophancy will be dead extremely quick.

Agree to disagree without the mocking tone and the need to post up a complaining thread about complainers, We're all Bethesda fans but some of us are very disappointed but those people's views need to be respected.

On a positive note, I came across a male & female pair of hunters all stripped off & enjoying the hot springs, Moments like these make me forget the negatives.

Plenty of positive threads are made. They usually die quite quickly. Possibly, if people would like the forum to be more positive, they should post on these threads more. However, its a bit hard to have an actual discussion on a purely positive thread. -"I like this." -'I agree.' Discussion over. On threads that offer a different perspective, where people with differing opinions meet, you get a discussion so those threads dont die as easily. Edit: I am however getting increasingly annoyed at the number of people who post nothing but inflammatory and nonsensical things about 'Morrowind bible thumpers, Morrowind zealots, Morrowind missionaries' and all that jazz. Possibly so many people hark back to Morrowind as an example of how the series could be more engaging because they think it is the best game of the series? Possibly you dont see so many people do the same with Oblivion as the general consensus on that game is that the level scaling ruined many aspects of it? Honestly, this malarky must stop, it is becoming aggrevating to read nothing but hate-filled remarks against people who enjoy Morrowind. Its as if people are jealous or spiteful or something. It is after all a very deep and engaging game. But so is Daggerfall.
^This. I don't know how many discussions I've seen ruined by certain posters who won't allow others to constructively discuss certain aspects of the game that we don't like. It's like they won't allow us to discuss what we don't like. They come in and post a short story about how wrong we are or a paragraph about how much they are loving the game and the fact that we must be odd because we don't <3 Skyrim as much as they do...

THIS IS NOT A THREAD ABOUT COMPLAINING EVERYONE THAT CAME HERE JUST DECIDED TOO!!

I personally added some humour and discussed good things in the game until you (o(k smokers came along -.-' and started preaching...just shows that Uribik Hunt is a suitable name for the next one

Exactamis, notice what this thread does

-doesn't talk about skyrim, just a presumed demographic, a hater on "whiners" effectively

-isn't really having a discussion

-is grounds for heated arguments for what exactly

It's ironic that the negative posts aren't made by the "whiners" but by people who think they are positive by Badhing whiners.


Who is it really are the "negative ones" I ask you. The people talking about skyrim and thier own annoyances, or the people saying how rampaging negetive/doom and gloom the forum is?

Like merari said, don't contribute to the "problem" be the solution and post in threads you think are positive instead of turning "whiner" threads sour, do you see the same thing happenig in "positive threads" someone derailing the entire thing? and in all essense WHO CARES. It's an opinion

For the past few weeks I've been on this general discussion forum but it's more and more like a we hate skyrim discussion. I would like to come on and have some nice happy things to laugh and chat about but all the threads seem to be about the negative side of the game. And I think I will like many others eventual just stop coming on the forum if it's nothing but just people moaning all the time. There is already a software sub forum but the general discussion forum seems to be where all the software problems get aired. So give the fans a happy fan sub forum so that the fans can enjoy the skyrim forum as well.

The thread below yours is one.

Here... :bunny: http://www.gamesas.com/topic/1334717-my-dovahkiin-and-his-gay-lover/

it was bloody obvious that people would come here & comment on the OP wanting a place on the forum without moaners, Then it was obvious the happy people would come here complaining about the complainers complaints about it;)

One if my favourite little glitches or whatever you want to call it is the archer elf in riverwood . He got killed one time when a dragon attacked the town and now he is just lying dead outside someones house on the main road going through the town. I keep wondering if I should drag him over to the river and let him float down the river in some sort of dignified funeral ceremony rather than lying at the side of the road like an empty crisp packet with everyone just walking by not bothering about him.

OP, I like the way you think. I keep trying to be patient until the people who don't like the game realize they have better things to do with their lives than be Debbie Downers and go do whatever it is. I'm off playing the game and will check in every so often but it's not a great place to be right now and I guess we just have to deal. My new character is a real challenge and I really like how much everything changes...we're all experiencing something different. Thanks for the great thought.

Yes, helpmeout, that sounds like a very good idea and very RP. :tes:

Instead of confrontationally harrasing nay sayers and demanding the forum have a positive thread, why not start one instead of whinging about haters?

It seems you want to argue and not actually be positive at all

I'm incredibly foolish for entertaining this thread but let me clarify on the who cares bit.

So what if thy like the game more/less than you. Do they need a bashing? Does it really require drama and exaggerations? Barring e fact that this is the Internet, is Teh internetz. -really- required on this forum? This is one of the best forums you'll ever visit in your life time. Why go and sour it.

And who says critique = hate?

I noticed one of todds micro details the other day. I was looking at a selection of things on a table in a house and a lit candle was one of them and next to the candle was one of the glass potion bottles and I noticed that the candle and flame were reflecting off the bottle. It's just those little things that make you go oh look at that I never noticed that before every so often in the game.

OKAY ignoring the posts within this thread...

the topic itself I FULLY SUPPORT the idea of having a positive discussion forum / a negative discussion forum / and a no holds barred mixed forum for sharing ideas...
that way...

In the positive forum
1.)people that have little or no problems can chat, discuss, share stories without worrying about someone telling them they are wrong because dragons fly backwards or their fun will end when their game save gets corrupted and they have to start far back or completely fresh (i did that and it annoyed me to no end but I'd still like to avoid the bad once and a while)

In the negative forum
2.)people who are annoyed at the game, can point out what should and shouldn't be, discuss the why's and possible how's... without having someone telling them they are just focusing on the bad things! pure constructive or destructive complaints to make some feel better and for others to voice some opinions or make known some widely talked about (must be fixed) kind of bugs.

because there are those that enjoy the game and have no qualms... but find it upsetting when trying to share their opinion or something they like in the game and discussing that, then someone comes along that thinks differently and totally discredits every word they say? these things shouldn't happen in the forums and that is not the way it is intended...

and a MIXED forum
for those with thick skin and are willing to put up with abit of heat, and sometimes this can lead to some interesting and helpful results for the developers to take note of!

But by no means should it tturn into the slag match, it ALWAYS does in my experience on dozens of game forums....there are many games forums that use this idea to great success... so don't say... ITS YOUR OPINION

It is a proven effective method that keeps more people happy in the community as a whole... instead of chucking all your fish in the same tank and watching them fight over it

Really?

Don`t you know that humans aren`t happy unless they`re whining about something? This is why there are no `just talk happy` forums on the internet. It will ultimately have someone unhappy eventually on it. And you can`t bann everyone that says something whiny or in an unhappy way.

There are no game forums (to my knowledge) that use that system, and besides it isn't difficult to self regulate or just tolerate threads of different views.

I'll stay in the mixed...
I had some issues with the game, on my first char I can't complete the mq, in my second there's 3 broken quests, and the 3rd is going fine atm
but still the game privided me 300+ total hours of fun, and there's a lot of fun quests, characters and stuff that can happen, so I can't be totally mad at it.

It seems you want to argue and not actually be positive at all

READ POST ABOVE :D

not asking for a thread... asking for 3 or 2 seperate discussion forums ... pos... neg and mix

reason? post a positive thread about NPC sayings, or random events... and it often, almost always ends up being a.... positive vs negative debate...

i posted one about favourite and most hated npc's in skyrim, why? discuss...

by page 2 of the thread it was an argument between people (not including myself at the time) saying that dialogue is so scripted and is a load of rubbish and that they should get voice actors... then it went on to discuss pricing and how it is or isnt possible and the bethesda are a let down and all that.... I came back and read the thing... thinking WTF IS WRONG WITH YOU PEOPLE!? READ THE THREAD :D

so 3 seperate discussion forums could help segregate those that wish to purely share their good times... or purely share the complaints.... then a mixed one for those that wish to not only see but DISCUSS and ARGUE with the opposing side... and sometimes finding a useful middle ground that mods and developers alike could use the information of without having a heaving community of people that avoid forums because of argumentative folk like myself :D if there was 3... I wouldnt be wasting my time making this point or posting on this thread...

id be talking about how hilarious it was when i dropped a kettle down a cliff and it killed a bandit ... that i love the physics of the game...... id then go to the negatives and say after that incident i turned around only to find my horse getting carried off by a fecking butterfly... .. you know what i mean?

Pro's and negs with no arguments in between...
you can achieve that in real life by mixing with different groups, working in different environments or living in different areas or going out to different places... so why not in the worlds no1 selling game on steam or w/e? is there not a need there? or do gamers not matter... should they be forced to svck it up and mix with the riff raff?

Never say never, the real world is the world untamed

I know plenty of 'humans' as you put it, that are happy without whining at all.... I spent most of my school, college and university days with people that liked a good old moan... which we all do to some extent but there is a point where you CAN say NO...

if you refine your world in life... to the way you want it, you dont have to put up with idiots EVER... apart from when your driving or at the airport :smile:

Even though I partially agree with the OP, adding another sub forum would cause more additional problems. It's fine in it's current state even with all the crying.
