[Suggestion] Add Suggestion Category

As the title says right now everyone is flooding the general Discussion with both Suggestions and discussions.
It would be nice to have a separate part of the forum solely dedicated to Suggestion so that all the good ideas don't go noticed by the sheer mass of new posts in the discussion forum.

There are plenty of categories that could break out of GD but the will all have their own suggestions:
There is enough content now that GD could go back to being a simply tavern talk and each category people could go to for more in depth conversations. As @Nagash said recently "welcome to the [forum] the devs forgot about"
- Proffesions with a sub forum for every profession. Same for Classes
-PVE with sub forums for open world and dungens
- PVP with sub forums for Open world, castle siege, node war and Guild war.
- New player help where veterans post Guides
there are probably a lot more to consider.
You are getting way too carried away atm with sections and sub-sections. I agree that general new sections would help but to sub-section everything before we have a single detail would not be the best idea imho.
And I just posted this very suggestion over on the support forum not an hour ago
i didn't even check the support forum as it should be for technical or account support only rather then suggestions but you pointed that out yourself.
As for getting carried away. Yes i agree but i like to get things right on the first try and have everything orderly rather then adding sub forums only when it gets crowded. But that might be the German in me.
From personal experience if you create sub forums that are not needed now, they may sit empty for quit a while but people will start to use them as we get closer to release so there is really no downside to have them.
At least as long its easy to see if a sub forum has new posts.
“What do Bards do in Ashes?”
“I dunno.”
If the Devs cant even make a single Suggestion category that every other game forum has, then that tells me a lot of how important the community really is to them.

Well the silly thing is they DID have a good number of categories and sub forums 2-3 years ago on the old forums. Not sure why they condensed it so much when they migrated over.
We also lost a lot of things like the ability to make in forum polls and each person had their own personal posting page so people could come visit.
Didn't they say in the last Video that we should post suggestions on the forum?
Suggestion on discord are a nightmare. Rend did it on discord and it never worked well.
Even if you make a dedicated channel on discord for suggestion and one for suggestion discussion. It gets crowded so fast that you loose oversight extremely fast.
In a forum at least you can have a discussion under each suggestion.
If you have a suggestion category you have all suggestion with 1 click.
No chance of them going under the normal discussions.
I know the forum is not that well used normal and has a temporary high thanks to the youtubers,
but what happens when once more people come to the forum on a permanent basis?
If they implement the Suggestion category late, then all these that were posted into the General discussion go under the rug or some poor moderators have to spend a lot of time to move the old suggestions into the new suggestion sub forum.
I think its better if they do it now and spare everyone in the future their time.

The community means a lot to them its just the forums are not really used. a month ago you would get maybe 6 or 7 posts a day now we have between 40 and 50 posts a day.
Virtue is the only good.
If we did Cambiguous would never leave
"As we move towards future testing and you all start to get your hands on things directly such as classes, crafting, etc., we'll be setting up forum categories to help match those so that you can provide feedback for our team and discuss further!"
So I guess they already have it all planned, we just don't know when they will roll out the additional sections.
(I have no contribution. Just wanted to say that. LOL)
thanks for the info
