Current Alpha 2 Forums design needs an upgraded

The sheer volume of feedback the alpha 2 forums makes it hard to believe that any of this can be productive and not passed up quickly due to post count.

"Crowdfunding also allows us to connect directly with the players most invested in our success. We need your voices to help grow this community, and to keep us accountable to those who matter most, the players."

In the spirit of this statement and the success of this game, we need better avenues for feedback. Create channels based on function for feedback. For example- Art, Character progression, combat, professions, nodes, pvp, caravans, lore, quests and so much more. I believe this can help direct feedback get to the devs in a productive way!

I personally have ignored the chance to partake in the forums as I see the slip stream of lost posts (many with good ideas).

Please bump this if you agree.

Think this is a great idea and would help players direct feedback and for IS to digest it.

I agree it would probably be a good idea to categorize it a little bit.

Indeed, should be done ASAP.

Totally agreed. It's been on my list, which has been getting longer as playtesting continues.

I was able to get some of this done today! Feel free to share your thoughts with me

For now, I've added Artisanship and Archetypes. I'm going to consult with the teams and see what will be most helpful to them for other systems and forums categories

@Vaknar Thank you for doing this. As far as other forum categories that might be helpful, I would think PVP, Caravans, Nodes, Quests, and Lore would all be welcome additions. This would give direct access to feedback for pillars of the game and would prevent things from getting buried in the general feedback forum.

Big props to you: responding and creating the first channels from the community feedback. This built trust for me and I will definitely use the channels in which you've created. Thank you!

Additional recommended Channels for Feedback:
Artisan, Quests, Caravan, Nodes, UI / Settings are the first one's that would help us due to these systems being included in alpha 2.

PVP could be one, but I see the current PVP more of a placeholder without the Node wars or castle sieges happening...

Thanks again!!!
