Most discords with roles do have hidden channels. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
R-T-B Posted January 24, 2023 Share Posted January 24, 2023 What about important community modders? It'd be nice if we could get a heads up build to start porting some of our work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It’d be nice if there existed, for the last 12 years or so, some sort of message board that the devs and CM’s set up so people could communicate such messages with them.

I don't remember which game it was but they always released addons and patches to a part of the community first so that mods could be made compatible from the get go/or close after official release.

Probably faster to ask in the discord than here on the forums. It seems the devs frequent there more than here. Also, nice sass.

I'm always more partial to forums, but if I have to ask on the discord, I'm gonna ask on the discord. But if they close the forums it would be a major loss.

I'm with Gilgamesh; I don't like the trend of communities moving away from forums to Discord. It's harder to have lengthy discussions, and it's harder for new people to search for old topics to see what's been discussed before. Back in my day, we had forums and IRC, and they each played very important but separate roles in an online community, and that's the way the LORD intended it.

I'm guessing they're basically just under a review embargo agreement? Though not as common for streamers, definitely standard for games journalism at this point. Review embargos normally lift between 2-7 days before release, I believe. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think 7 days is possible though, I'd say it's closer to 2-3 days, but who knows: as I said I'm really excited already Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We also get the chance to hear immediate feedback on ideas/suggestions/questions from devs and moderators over on Discord, which is nice. One thing we heard from Nate Simpson the other night is that Duna still has its ice caps, although I'd imagine they're quite small since we don't see them on the more recent Duna pics and the gif.

I go on both as well and the balance is nice.

JoeSchmuckatelli Posted January 25, 2023 Share Posted January 25, 2023 Sorry. I will never like Discord nor prefer it over a forum. I know that's where @Ghostii_Spaceneeds to be to reach out to the younger generations... But Discord is just obnoxious to me. I start wanting to punch people in very short order. One of the hallmarks of this community is the excellent moderating by @Vanamonde @Snark and @Gargamel (among others). They are the best moderating team of any fora I've been on. Our community is great because they hold us to a higher standard in a way that does not drive people away. This forum has been going strong for a decade - would hate to lose this community because some marketing study said 'Discord is the future' and ghosti and other marketing goes there or tik-spy as the default /primary information - communication space(s) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
