Sarcasm only works with intelligence. We have to use a web browser, but that's the same for all the games that have help and support in the game forum, in one place which is kinda an industry standard... Nobody, but nobody wants announcements on fb or twitter, that's an asspull. They want help in mod help game channels and on the game fora and announcements on the fora. At the very least, something on the forum telling them to go to discord.

It us valid when the forum becomes clogged by players asking for help, expecting the game to be like the majority of others and have support portals on the forum and mod support in game. There isn't even a notification on these forums that you have to go to discord so new players, flailing around for help, have to hope someone mentions discord to them before they give up.

Communication by and through third party programs is bad communication. 99% of games communicate or have help channels on the main forums and in game support channels. I shudder at the refunds NQ will have had to shell out because support and announcements are hard to find. It's also cluttering up these forums with errors and requests for help, even on the recruiting channel. Nowhere on the forums and in this main forum does ot say "Go to Discord for help", for example.

Quicker than the game forum? Where most new players will expect to be informed?

NOT AUTHORIZED TO CONNECT TO PRIVATE SERVER (Error: 106)
Anopheles replied to sgt11b20's topic in General Discussions
It's back. -
NQ probably think... who knows what they think, they never tell us, but they probably think that they are saving congestion on the game chat and forums by porting anything intensive to a 3rd party program. It's a horrible idea. People new to DU, but not MMos think that it will be like an ordinary, normal website that will have a dedicated support forum and in game chat channels. When they don't find it they, understandably, litter up the support channel and all forum channels looking for help. I've seen requests for help in the middle of unrelated topics, in the Recruitment channel and probably other places. When the forum responds with "go to a support area not found in the game or forums or go to Discord", well that's a proportion right there of already frustrated players asking for a refund. It's not like the help on the Discord channel is exactly zippy either, so the plan isn't even doing anything but porting a badly communicated delays to Discord and STILL having a clogged up forum. Mini rant over. Tl;dr NQ needs Support to go to normal channels even if it means hiring another sub server and is just further evidence of NQ's woeful communication strategy.

Discord announcements are a terrible idea.

How long will it be before we can't catch up?
Anopheles replied to Thurlor's topic in General Discussions
It isn't an infinite progress model. Yes, some people will reach the ceiling early, but everyone, given x time, will get there, even solo. -
I think the idea of having support located on a third party program like discord, is a horrible idea.

Rough Sketch if this is still a thing. For Aesthetic Shielding Limited, if I could have the name under the image too, thanks. Feel free to do a better rose. -

Anopheles replied to Geo's topic in General Discussions
I hope this is still going. I'd love Aesthetic Shielding Ltd to get one of these. -
If past experience is anything to go by, DU will eventually apologise for bad communication, promise to do better and... repeat in a few months.

I've argued that the simple addition of reproducible and physical files could add immense depth to the game, in the form of job contracts, espionage, blackmail, journalism, etc.

I found this worked for a core I put down. It was invisible at market. I went 3.9km away from market. Logged out, cleared cache, logged in and fetched and I could see and interact with the core.

If you follow the Church of the Holy Wreck instead, you also get free parking and excused from being a human sacrifice. -
Need help, ticket being ignored, Discord Reps can't help
Anopheles replied to Digital Cowboy's topic in General Discussions
The change password thing could be more user friendly, ie tell us an email has been sent and tell us that the password as, in fact, changed. Such odd things to omit.
