Hades Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 If there's anything this poll shows us, it's how much of a minority we (the forum users) are. For how active the forums are, that's pretty interesting. IMHO. I imagine there are less than 70% with access to the pre-alpha. Puts things in perspective I suppose.

A lot of people just ignore polls like this too. I, personally, don't see the point in voting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoreVamore Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 not to mention its only a few days old, posted on a weekday when most forum participants only look at the forum on weekends - assuming they arent in-game participating, which is becoming more and more common as the game unfolds.

Not sure why you'd even find a point in posting at that point haha. My observation is equally unimportant in the scheme of things. 32 minutes ago, CoreVamore said: not to mention its only a few days old, posted on a weekday when most forum participants only look at the forum on weekends - assuming they arent in-game participating, which is becoming more and more common as the game unfolds. 22 hours* actually.

Omfgreenhair Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Maybe... Is it of some use to know pre-A boiiz are on here? I reckon most do, though. It's an investment and that usually garnishes frequent attention to anything DU related, including non pre-A posts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the forums are really not all that active as far as number of active users. There is a fairly small amount of active users with the vast majority either lurking of not visiting on a regular basis. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraXXoR Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Compared to the noisy Alpha period Elite Dangerous, Kerbal and original Star Citizen forums, DU forums are very quiet... I suspect the NDA has something to do with it. blazemonger 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I suspect the NDA has something to do with it. It’s all about scope. ED and SC have a much larger player base and backing. It’s expected for them to have a “busier” community. I’m not part of the ED community, but the SC forums really aren’t that busy anymore since they switched to spectrum. Anyway, I would compare DU more to Camelot Unchained and similar projects. DU has a pretty active community in comparison. I do agree with the NDA keeping things quiet. But I think it’s important for NQ to remember that us forumers are the minority... and shouldn’t take everything we wish for as gold. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheShadowSage Posted April 21, 2018 Share Posted April 21, 2018 Quite frankly this is the first time I've seen the forums and that's because I was casually browsing the main website looking into gathering more information about the game until I thought "well there must be a forums for this right?". I think for a majority of players that do have the game either don't know about the forums or they aren't really the type of people to get on the forums website. I double checked the facebook page and they don't mention the forums there. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm even more surprised by what you're capable of doing in the game already! There's a few things here and there I would tweak but I suppose all that can be mentioned within the idea forums. How long have you been with the game? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've not even bothered looking in the ship manufacturer forums which also tend to be rather lively. DU forums are rather quiet.. I feel petty even bringing this up, as I assume you already know this. But Dual Universe has 27,000 followers and Star Citizen has 2,000,000. I think DU forums are rather busy considering the more focused reach. (27,000/2,000,000)*100 is how many posts we need in the general chat to be on par with SC. Which is 1.35 posts btw . Seems there are 7 in the past day, which potentially means we are 7x more active than SC when scope is taken into account. Lethys 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Demonneo Posted April 23, 2018 Share Posted April 23, 2018 And DU is in a NDA Pre-alpha phase, with people discussing stuff in a private section of this forum that most of us have no access to. When alpha 1 starts, this will definitely be way more active. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GraXXoR Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 And there you go. Hence the quiet forums. It’s not surprising nor is it a direct criticism. It’s merely an observation. Once the NDA is over and the cheaper packages allow access, there will be a rush of Kerbels, Engineers, Commanders and probably some Citizens, too.

ZipSnipe Posted April 24, 2018 Share Posted April 24, 2018 I will never be in another alpha game again, its too disappointing. You start learning to play the game one way, and you start to love it . But then people complain and changes get made. I would rather see a close to finished project...I will wait...hopefully still breathing by the time this game comes out.
