WHERE did my THREAD GO?! Re: Categories and the DOOM of your Thread!

WHERE did my THREAD GO?! Re: Categories and the DOOM of your Thread!

It is I, Sard, your beloved Moderator. Ahh, I love that title, because actually, I feel quite extreme! As no doubt many of you would agree. The ones that can still talk, of course...anyway.

YOU MAY HAVE NOTICED some clean up. That is because people do so love to fill the main forum with threads and topics that belong in OTHER forums!

Also because some people love to post stupid crap. That stuff we just...fix. Anyway.

They (you?!) may -also- decide their (your?) thread is SO MUCH MORE BETTERS that it needs to be in the Main Forum. That is nice. It may even be right. We will move or merge it anyway, because we are FLOGGED if we do NOT.

ADDING a POLL does not increase your chances of THREAD SURVIVAL. It's probably not even funny and it is unlikely it will convince us not to murder or amoeba your thread.

So here be some guidelines if you don't want us to move, merge, edit for hilarity or just delete your thread for offending our (laser) eyes.:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------


IF you post something SPOILERIFFIC, put tags on it. IF IT IS STORY, ITEM OR PLOT related, put it in that forum. If it's a simple question about, I dunno, how OP a certain decoction is, here is fine.

IF you have a PROBLEM....put it in the Tech Support section. CDPR ACTUALLY reads those, believe it or not. Please use the appropriate sub forum. Or the link in my sig to send directly to CDPR.

-------UPDATE: User @redglyph has relayed a message from CDPR support asking people to send your Bug Reports to them in bulk, rather than separate messages each time. So if you could save up a day or two's worth and then submit a Group of Bugs to squash, that would be great.

IF you have a SUGGESTION or a MOD IDEA - we have a SUBFORUM for that - with many delicious Categories for would-be Modders andd/or CDPR to glance at. Again, one place means others can find it...scattered across twenty threads, no.

----Note: Don't put twenty suggestions in your post. Even if we haven't seen 90% of them already, (we have!) no one is going to read your WALL OF TEXT of ideas. Good or not. Pick the best Two or Three.

IF you are here JUST TO COMPLAIN or YELL, you will eventually annoy me. Followed by PONIES. And then worse.



Now, we have been moving and merging threads, because we feel only love for you. Only love. Except for @blank_redge. Screw that guy. I suspect him of evil. EVERYONE ELSE, love.

BUT. We will tire of cleaning up your messes and just start deleting. Then, you will be upset and you will rage. Then I will giggle, edit your rage into something about polymorphic nuns on jet powered wheelchairs, add a PONY and depart you.


So. Topics. Subforums. Decorum-ish. FRIENDLINESS. THIS HAS BEEN A MESsAGE.

add a PONY and depart you.

I don't wanna like... question you or anything but, why isn't here some sticky post about KNOWN issues? I know it doesn't usually help that much ('cause horrible people tend to ignore them and just proceed immediately to the "New Thread" button) but still, I could discourage some folk from creating yet another topic related to the fact that thing X or Y is broken.

On that note, I have an issue I've seen mentioned in one or two posts but the posts don't really have much detail. Is it better to add to the terrible (i.e shittily reported) threads or should I create a new thread?

Providing it's something that isn't specifically mentioned in being included in the next patch (because that was the first place I checked!). I don't want to clog the forums but also if it's not addressed because of someone's shitty and not concise reporting, I'm going to be upset (it's a main quest bug that means I can't proceed )

 

[Sardukhar]

These are both good questions. We do need a Known Issues thread thatis being updated. but frankly, reports flow in very fast.

CDPR DOES read these forums. Do not doubt it.

At this point, if you don't see your issue on the first page or two..sigh. Yeah, create a new thread. In the right forum.

We're looking into setting up specific Stickies into whatever categories Reds find most useful.

As Chris has posted, try to do this, as well:

"Hi Everyone

To help The Witcher team help you with technical issues when you post here, please make sure you include the following in your message:
1. A detailed description of what your problem is (what happens, where it occurs in the game, the more details the better) along with screenshots or video of the problem if possible.
2. The platform you game on (PC, Playstation 4 or Xbox One). This is the General support forum, you may want to post your issue in the sub-forum specific for your platform (PC, PS4, Xbox).
3. If it is on PC, please include your system specs.
4. How often it occurs. (every time I do X, only once, 3 or 4 times, it blocks my progress, etc).

The more details you can give us, the faster we will be able to investigate the issue and be able to help you.

We appreciate everyone's help. "

Thanks for the answer. It's indeed hard to keep up. I try to list all of the smaller (not game breaking) bugs here http://forums.cdprojektred.com/threads/42439-List-of-BUGS-encountered-by-me-so-far but it doesn't include everything.
