Tree of Savior Forum

Poll: Forum main page

Anything is fine, really. What I really want is every single soul on IMC working on the international beta build.
I can send you guys a notepad file with my feedback if needed so don’t worry about the forums for now.

(Pst~I assume they have multiple teams, one team might (almost definitely) end up being dedicated to the forums/website management, so changing the forums won’t actually take away any time it’ll take to build the international beta build)

Wrong.
Programmers drink a lot of coffee. Coffee isn’t prepared by magic. Hey you forum manager, have nothing else to do? Go make some coffee. Maybe a little massage on the lead programmer shoulders, maybe you can even grab their kids at school.
Just do that before I go to Korea and start putting staff members in cages T_T

I’m rather lost at this reply xD?

Can I assume your joking without taking offense? Programmers do need that coffee and energy drinks (that’s so true xD). However if they are asking us how the website should look, it means they have the spare man power to focus on the forums without taking away the time from the game. Scripters/webdesigning is a different profession to server and client side computer programming. No one programmer can program in all languages/code. They will have split their staff to cover both sides~

(Btw a strange man who picks up their kids from school sounds like the start of a Taken movie)

I don’t understand the Reddit connection, there’s no upvote system, or a decay over time system.

Literally any post that get’s a reply, edited, or anything goes up on the latest feed.

But as I said, I do agree that categories is the smarter choice. But it doesn’t hurt anyone to have latest feed as the default view, and in the long run is more intuitive for active forum goers. If someone wants to hone in on specific things, they can easily go to categories and have their choice.

Either way, it’s all 2 clicks to anywhere, and you can use a redirect plugin on Chrome/Firefox to simply choose if you want latest/categories regardless of what get’s decided in the end.

They probably meant the way this forum is designed is similar to Reddit, although I’m with you that this forum is nothing like Reddit.

If I were to say, this is like the combination of Reddit and a common forum style that is taken to the next level, aesthetically and functionally.

But can you imagine if this forum gets super active… the amount of updates that will flood the main page if it’s just latest topics that come up…

If a problem occurs, say some people can’t log on. 50 topics which would be in the technical error section would flood the main page about being unable to connect…

It doesn’t make it more intuitive, I’d say it makes it less. It’s intuitive to look in the general discussion section, to find new general discussion topics. It isn’t intuitive to look on the main page which is filled with Community/Feedback/Guild/Guide/Off Topic/Update/International(or other language)/Bosses and so on topics to find out what’s new… because at that point it’s literally anything goes. Honestly, I don’t believe this forum will become THAT community friendly, where everyone is interested in absolutely everything that’s going on.

But we can agree to disagree if you don’t think so.

Edit: A solution, so I’m not just disagreeing with you, is to offer a “favourite section” or “watch” option, so on the latest updates page only topics within certain sections appear.

IDK, but I thought the opposite. When the game is up, I doubt that the forums get to get more active, simply because people will be busy playing the game. Probably some people will create guides and people will lurk the forums, but that’s probably just it.

They have actually implemented the “bookmark” where you can bookmark specific “topics” not category sadly.

EDIT: The bookmark seems to be off for some reason.

EDIT2: You can actually watch the category of your choice. Go to your profile preferences and go to ‘Watched’ in the category section. But IDK where to see the watched category.

thats an awesome pool plugin.

I like latest topics more, as I want to be up to date.

although in the end, when we have much more user there, the categories will be more useful , because you wont be able to read all

What I mean is right now we are a relatively small community because the game isn’t out. We are the few who actually know of this game and stay up 2 date with its development. I agree people will mostly be playing the game, however once the game is out, that’s when more players actually join the forums. That’s when youtubers start reviewing the game, and friends start telling other friends to play. Right now most of us are Ragnarok fans. Once the game is released, I feel the forum will be more active simply due to the larger player base.

There are even things we can’t do now, which we can once it’s available, like making guides, asking for parties, hints on bosses, selling items. So much of this forum isn’t even in use at the moment.

By active you meant the number of users that will join (register) in the forums? If that’s the case, then yes I agree. The amount of user that will access the forums will affect the overall performance of the site itself. When you said that there’ll be more people accessing the page, that’s pretty much a true fact. By active I meant how the forums will perform in a long run. Sorry if I got you confused lol.

We will see, this could totally turn out to be a case of a fan site over taking the main forum (and this place turning into a tech issue & annoucement hub). I know ToSBase is pretty popular now, but that’s beside the point.

Either way, this is a community thing. Just wanted to get my opinion voiced in a nice wall of text baha.

I’ll just go with whatever is top voted in the end, and that seems to be the latest topic idea. If the latest topic does become a thing, I hope they tweak it a little… I still see too many problems with it on release. But maybe I’m just being paranoid D:…

As long as that wall of text is something that will be useful, I can’t see why not. People can start writing the wall of china of texts but if he has no solid reason on doing so, it’ll be ignored fast before he even know it. Your post shows that you have a lot in your mind that demands a major improvement to this forums. That is a real noble act right there. Kudos to you sir.

Welp, enough with the OOT, back to the topics. I see that people favored the latest view style rather than the category style. I, as well, will just go with whatever that will be chosen in the end. I just hope that they will implement a feature where each user can choose a specific view so it will satisfy each user’s taste.
