Who doesn't love a good cliffhanger? You're gonna sit here and tell me you never watched Lost? I'm only kidding. Non-toxic!
Haha, Oh man, complete derail but I loved that show. Thought they ended it in a rather dull fashion but I loved that show especially up until the last two seasons!
Likewise Mes, it's been nice and relaxed so far. Hope you've had a good one as well! I watched Lost until they were looking at the jungle on this island they just got stranded on. Shit was making crazy noises and they opted to go check it out, at night, when they were safe on the beach. lol, done.
I love when @Chris join us, he's always precise. I know his time is limited, but he creates the balance we need on the forums.
I learned quickly who was who when I first started 4 months ago. I met alot of helpful people, people let me use their house to train in, fek even gave me 5k of each regarding when my house was looted. (I won't forget that phuzzylogic) The most help I got was when I joined mumble. This has been overall overall a great place. Lots of helpful people. I don't go on the forums aside from trades, and player run events. The he said she said, he started it bs is out of control.
@Chris That's good to know. Thanks. I take back all that stuff I said about my little ponies then. Forgive me for it. I've actually got lots of ideas and want to share them, and I know you would never be a brony. (not that there is anything wrong with that! Juggalos and Bronies are welcome here!) Anyways, I was just beginning to believe suggestions weren't welcome... Thanks for the official statement setting me straight. I can sleep tonight now without having nightmares of being murdered IRL for posting on the forums. Maybe... my opinions do matter?!?... I just need to... Voice them constructively... to prevent... WWIII... It's going to take a moment to sink in... Also, people should recognize that just because someone posts a suggestion that well, maybe isn't that good, doesn't mean they are trying to destroy the sever and wreck your life. You should be thankful people are actually thinking about the game and coming up with ideas, showing interest, even if they are a little ridiculous and impossible to implement. No more ideas= dying server. don't flame them water them.
Absolutely man. No doubt any player new or old should be able to voice their opinion. Incessant spamming of the boards in thread after thread for desired nerfs is unnecessary and gets very old very fast though.
I feel the same way as OP and only visit these forums for Trading Post 99% of the time. I did try and share an idea once about a year ago and got ripped apart, so much so it no longer feels like my input is needed here. I welcome criticism always, but this was on a different level. It's just not worth the effort and has left a distaste for these forums. Passion is great, and boy does this game seem to encourage it, but damn people... and that's all I have to say on this subject.
Hey dude we all know how you feel. I understand if you don't want to give any more input, but if you ever do I'll back you up. Personally, I'll be giving more input. If anything else it helps keep me interested.
I was curious, so I looked it up and re-read it all: http://uorforum.com/threads/why-melee-damage-is-so-low-and-0-damage-hits.6703/ Last post in the thread, and I'm not making this up: There are bright spots, even in the toxicity!
I just read that entire thread and it was pretty tame. I don't know what he means by getting ripped apart. Just looks like he got his feels hurt cause you and Gideon didn't agree with him.

This is FAR from a toxic community. Clearly there are some "old rivals" who continue to need to measure their ego or e-peen as it is known online. It's not always about the ego/e-peen but it usually is. As someone previously mentioned the majority of us here are old enough to know better. This is a ******* fantastic shard with such incredibly well structured/balanced mechanics, fantastic staff and players. As good as any 15+ year old online game is ever going to be.
