General Discussion - The community is horrible - Forum

" Haderechi wrote: So far, the worst thing about this great game is the community. Seems like some people have an almost religious-like zeal for this game. The same thing happened in the Runic forums (developers of Torchlight), where if you criticize the game in any way or suggest any idea, you get bombarded with messages from self-righteous, arrogant people who think they know what GGG are thinking and planing. The only feedback that seems to be accepted by the community is "OMG best game evarrrrrrrr!!111" and even the mildest forms of criticism are vigorously assaulted, telling the person who made the criticism to "go back to D3" is very common, like that's a big insult... If you guys think anything good can come out of endless admiration and a vacuum of criticism, then I've got bad news for you. They probably DO know what GGG is planning, since GGG talks to its players and gives us information and has done so for the last YEAR. If a Diamond Supporter tells you something is something because a DEV said so, he/she probably isn't lying to you.	Posted by Zenn3k#6008 on Jan 30, 2013, 11:02:00 AM Quote this Post

Maybe that's because the developer have posted what they want the game to be in blogs several times, they are like Bioware and Blizzard were in the old days, they have a vision of how the game is supposed to be and they are not going to deviate from it. So some basic game-mechanics are NEVER going to change, there will never be full respecs and such and people just have to get used to it. Nothing to see here.

PoE's community is nowhere NEAR that bad. I posted there after the beta weekend saying that the skill system needed overhauling (which eventually happened), and I got DEATH THREATS to my personal email address.

I can't say much about the whole community, and neither do I have a comment. However I can tell you that the staffs working for GGG are very nice people, with a big heart.	Posted by hotaichu#2443 on Jan 30, 2013, 11:16:35 AM Quote this Post
Wait, people complain the game is too hard? Seriously?	Posted by mouton#0981 on Jan 30, 2013, 11:28:31 AM Quote this Post
The community was great in closed beta before you whiners came in, whining. :P Seriously, if you're not having fun, go play something else. Constructive criticism is WELCOME and often ACTED UPON by the devs. PoE has the best engaged developers I have ever seen.	Posted by glockenrock#3942 on Jan 30, 2013, 11:31:24 AM Quote this Post

Dont think anyone has ever questioned the Devs intentions or motives, just some of the forum posters. I often see legitimate posts totally shot down by the 'go back to D3 crowd', I dislike those people just as much as the endless whiners, they are both bad for the game.
