Probably replying on Google Chrome........ irony

1/ Because they are trying to keep everyone happy, because some people only use the forum, others only twitter, others want Facebook, others want it by email.  For me they need to do either all of them or pick a single channel
2/ People shouldnt have to do things outside of game - but checking the forum is ok???  Infact if the game is down, how is anyone supposed to get any information.  Why is Discord any different?
3/ Whilst I agree that discord is not the best way to show information - I love the threaded conversations of a forum, the announcement channel is just a series of chronological posts which you could argue are EASIER to read than forum posts which you have to open individually

Anyway, i hate all the methods they use, I want patch notes sent to me by FAX and server announcement by carrier pigeon.   I have spoken to loads of other people and they demands it too.

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.

 

 

[Free Month of Game Time Announced]

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.

[Future server informations and communication]

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.

While I do not disagree, setting the notification for anything posted on the discord announcement channel is probably the most effective way to get information quickly either way.

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

[What happens when all resources are mined?]

I think they will introduce new planets 

and systems as resources run low.

[NOT AUTHORIZED TO CONNECT TO PRIVATE SERVER (Error: 106)]

It's back.

[Using Discord for Customer Support and Announcements is terribad]

When you see that the log in page doesnt even have the server status on it, your first thought is not only that NQ have never made a game before, they have never played one either. 

 

[Using Discord for Customer Support and Announcements is terribad]

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.

[Error 100 when trying to log in]

Discord announcements are a terrible idea.

[Any ETA or even an acknowledgment that the blueprint system is comepletely broken?]

I think the elements only thing might be the ghost voxel bug in new, see through, clothing.

 

Try editing the craft and adding a random, sacrificial voxel.

Sigh, email from my account didn't get here.  Try again tomorrow.

 

 

[How long will it be before we can't catch up?]

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.

[Why does discord make me sarcastic?]

I think the idea of having support located on a third party program like discord, is a horrible idea.

[Animated Neon GIFs for Orgs & Ships, Signs & Screens]

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.

[Animated Neon GIFs for Orgs & Ships, Signs & Screens]

I hope this is still going.  I'd love Aesthetic Shielding Ltd to get one of these.

[GET IT TOGETHER NQ!]

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.

[Delivery, Transport and Shuttle Jobs]

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.

[Fix for Invisible Ships?]

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.

[GET IT TOGETHER NQ!]

I'm running it on wifi and not having major problems.

[Church of the Holy Wreck (PVP, Humor, Social, Heretic Burning)]

Beta bump.

[Tranquility, the ever moving City in space]

I'll start collecting concrete for the Ziggurat of the holy wreck.

If you follow the Church of the Holy Wreck instead, you also get free parking and excused from being a human sacrifice.

[Aesthetic Shielding Limited - craft too beautiful to destroy]

Bumping this for the new travellers. Pics later.

 

Also the dispenser is now down again what with the wipe.

[Need help, ticket being ignored, Discord Reps can't help]

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.
