Forum Suggestions

Hey guys, I just want to hear what you'd like to see on the Forums.

For example, I'd really like to see your account page have more options. I'd love for there to be a bio, or description you can add there. Something more than just your posts likes and badges at least, They're WONDERFUL to show off and I love that they are there but I feel like more can be added.

I KNOW This isn't a priority by any means but I just like putting thoughts out there and I'd love to hear yours

There are some features that I really want but I'm afraid to ask. Since on the last forums we could make polls and now we cant. We had more topic sections instead of everything being jammed into general discussion and now we don't. So I'm afraid that if I ask for more I will get less in this regard anyone else feel this way?

P.S.
#wheres my survivor badge

Heya! The moderators on the previous forums let me know that the Polls functionality was often misused/abused, so it's been turned off for Members at the moment. However, Staff/Mods are still able to make Polls, so keep an eye out for if we post any official ones!

In addition, a lot of the categories/sections were consolidated down since testing is limited right now - as we open testing back up, we may look to expand those discussion sections in the future!

As for your Survivor badge - unfortunately we had to wipe all users on the forums in order to allow you to connect your account directly through the SSO, so those no longer exist

sorry about that! We mentioned that in our forum launch FAQ before they went live.

can we have the leaderboard back?

This is another one the forum moderators and I chatted about - unfortunately, its old configuration contributed a bit to forum spam. People were just looking to gain points or badges by commenting or posting threads in quick succession and in lots of places, vs. actually contributing to the community. We may look at some other implementations in the future!

For instance the newcomer experience on the website to ashes could use some TLC. There is no mention of major features like the 9 races and that there are raids in ashes among other things.

Margaret and I agree on that, and have been working on plans for a website refresh for both clarity and more info! That's a little bit further out for our team (due to the web resources required), but I'm glad to hear that the examples you're sharing are things we're hoping to address!

I can understand the reasoning behind that, well thanks for the reply @LieutenantToast ^^

Yep its definitely really good to see @LieutenantToast in the forums and to get explanations for the issues.

Knowing why those aren't features makes sense. Knowing specifically why there is an issue is something that I enjoy.

and I hope we can give the new comer experience an update soon. It needs it

I'm glad to hear your glad your glad. I hope other issues like how this is kind of hard to read gets addressed as soon as the web team grows.

Oh and since the old survivor badges are gone. Could we get a new one? Perhaps one that says "verteran poster" and everyone who had an account before a certain date gets one. Like instead of a wounded phoenix its a old one perhaps. This certainly isnt a priority but I think it could be nice.

Nagash

Oh I 100% agree with you @wildpancakes875 it's so nice to see the mods on the forums.

I would like under Notifications when someone LIKED a post and which post heading it was under.
I keep seeing I have a number of likes, but I don't know what it was that was liked.

If you click on the likes it'll show you who liked what post of yours

Thanks! I did not realize you could do that.

Of course! n.n

I would like on the left where they show the avatar of the original poster that there might be some small inset of your own avatar showing that you have posted on that particular topic.

Rem_

I just really hope that the avatar showing thing on the forums is a possibility ~! That adds so much, and just lets you show off of course >.> It also lets people know what you main or whatever too which is cool!

Nagash

@LieutenantToast I've been meaning to ask this for a bit but what was the reason for removing the activity page?

If you could start with implementing the formatting basics that appear to be missing (found in this post; 'About That 'You can use BBCode in your post' statement") that would be just great.

Sounds right to me~! Even though I barely use them, making a nice guide or something could be nice with all those features working.
