Re: Last Goodbye
To whoever comes here after the closing of the forums, know that kabam sucks and doesn't listen to us. Hopefully they improve communication on discord, but you should know that your comment can easily get buried within seconds, which means they could forget it, so thank kabam for that. Do not expect to be able to ping them as much as you did here, because they can be irritated by pings on discord(which doesn't make sense since many pinged them here in the past. It's stupid). But aside from that anger directed toward Kabam, I am happy that I got to know some people on the forums here. I remember when I was a childish idiot two years ago, and I bet y'all remember too. "Bonecrusher is the best warrior, even better than drift and scorp" 🤣. I'll be there on discord. Name's Doc Ock. And thank you @Kitten and @Bntyhntr3232_ . I know that I talk to you on the forums more but I'm glad that I got to meet you two. Also glad that i m
met others that i didn't name here.. I have nothing more to say but, In Before The LockDown 🔐

Transformers: War for Cybertron - Siege Trailer Discussion [Spoilers?]
Netflix has dropped the newest Trailer for Siege, and it's got me at an 11 on the Hype scale! This isn't directly game related, but I know you guys will want to discuss it, so we're creating this thread for it.

Re: Changing in-game name
I'll bring up the idea of being able to change your name in-game by the use of a token or cost!
Re: After trying it out, Discord is not a suitable replacement for the forums
Thank you for writing all of this up @Darm0k — I agree with everything 100%
Re: Thoughts on the migration to discord?
Because I don't have a pc or Mac.
They have to understand this is going to run of a large part of the community
Re: Is there anyone here left from the beginning?
Hi! Playing since beta ... though, not much to play for these days.
I still find joy in the game. I don't tackle the more difficult leveled these days because there's no reason to, but for me it's still fun.
It actually makes me sad to see it fading away. This game is leagues above MCoC and I have every confidence it could out do it if it were just advertised.
I've never met a single person in real life that plays this game.
After trying it out, Discord is not a suitable replacement for the forums
So I gave Discord a chance (again - used it a little when it first was set up for the community) and came to the conclusion that Discord is not something that fill the void that the forums closing will leave. I would say that one of the main reasons for it's "forum-like" short comings is that Discord conversations are more real time - if you're not online when it's happening, you can't be a part of it.
I'm not sitting on Discord all the time. I'll have some work things, family things, life things, or just things that will keep me from hanging out in the app. When I jump back in (sometimes a few hours later, sometimes a day later), the conversation is usually way off from where it was when I left. If there was something I was engaged in earlier, it's too late to keep that going. People currently chatting may not be interested in that topic and the folks I was in discussion with may not be online either at that time.
On the forums, each thread is its own topic, so I can jump into the one I am interested in or was engaged in and usually continue where things left off. If the people I was "talking" to are not online, they can read up on what I posted the next time they log in. Usually, the conversations in a thread are not all over the place, but on topic (yes, there can be exceptions - that's why I said usually). Imagine if the forum was just one giant thread, that's Discord. (okay okay, a couple other threads for rules, announcements and pet pictures, but those don't really count)
I'm not saying real time chat is bad, it does have its place. One example of this is communication among alliance members. I use LINE with my current alliance. It still does have some of the shortcomings I mentioned above with Discord - it can get pretty chatty. And by pretty chatty, I mean the chat can be a little nutty. But it's not designed to replace a forum (I think a forum would be horrible for an alliance chat BTW); it's great for coordination during alliance missions which is the now. We don't need it to discuss things from last weeks AM or even before that.
Also, I'm not saying that the problems I am running into is limited to the Forged to Fight Discord, I have joined several other servers - some game and some non-game - and it's the same experience. Some of it even worse since there's a lot more activity. On those servers, I pretty much have all the channels muted except for the announcements and news ones. And, uh, I will admit I'm the same here. This is what my sidebar looks like for this server
(yes, I have the hide muted channels enabled - I turn that off once in a while to check, but usually don't find anything worth engaging in at the time so I turn it back on)
So the $2.37 question, will I stay on Discord? Yes.... and no. Yes, to read the announcements, but no on staying to chat with folks. Nothing against most of the fine folks who are there, but I don't have enough short term attention span to keep up with the chat. I also find a lot of conversations that aren't even related to the game.
Yeah, I'll miss the forums. It was a great place to discuss the game with other players.
