Regardless of WHO locked it, you're still replying to users in a locked thread with elevated privileges .
And this proves... what exactly? What does replying to people have to do with the topic of your post here
Read moreThat's what the karma system is for. It doesn't encourage toxicity any more than anything else. If the majority agree in a group how this game is perceived by the community then those ideas will raise to the top.
Shadow banning, locking and deletion of posts/threads that don't break any rules is pure manipulation by the moderation team to skew the views of the members of this sub.
EDIT: This isn't just a "reddit" problem, l just checked out the backer rooms on the discord and it's worse than here. Even Atomic Duck is being attacked lol
I made a post after the July 17th update that I bet was shadow banned as soon as a mod saw it, even though it doesn't break any rules. They can't take the heat that they are creating by BSing us for a long time now and lock threads with links for proof.
We can agree to disagree on that. Imo karma is inherently a system that encourages groupthink and dogpiling, but you’re entitled to feel however you want about it.
Doesn’t change how the individual subs are moderated tho, that’s up to the discretion of the moderators.
I don't. And I did message you, after you left a snarky reply to my comment in the other thread, and promptly locked it.
Yet you claimed ignorance and had no idea it was locked, and it still has continued happening over the past few days.
I have not locked or moderated a single thread or comment here or in the discord. I’m also not a moderator. Look at the titles.
Don't blame Reddits userbase on your company's short comings. That's a big cop out.
Threads have been going down and comments disappearing at a way higher rate since the negative pr you guys have been drumming up. (Ie the past few weeks)
The posts I linked and the comments that were removed in those threads were not breaking ANY rules other than painting the game in a negative light.
Blatant harassment of the team =/= open discussion are two completely different things.
But I just did, damn. ‘Tis the truth. Not that we are perfect, because we’re not. But like, it’s Reddit.
If you don’t like the way the sub is moderated you can message one of the moderators.
Or, maybe Reddit as a platform encourages toxicity and the moderators need to, you know, moderate?
You may not agree with it but like it’s not the Wild West here. You still have to follow the rules. ALL of the rules.
so its working?
n-no
you're prob best off posting these on the forums mate, they have a proper section for suggestions and ideas
It’s also worth noting some of these are implemented as an example, the throwable soda can and flare shells for shotguns both act as zombie lures.
I thought BigFry would look different to that, but I guess you simply can't imagine a person's face solely based on hearing their voice.
That isn’t BigFry that’s SOG lol
Well what made you decide to have streamers do this instead of a smaller number of your longest backers?
I don’t think it would be fair to other backers especially because it boils down to splitting up who gets access based on arbitrary data.
It's an alpha, people expect there to be problems. Instead you choose to actively frustrate the people backing the game by telling them they have to wait longer than others that have supported you for less time. It's not a good look to start out with the statement that streamers are more important.
But I suppose annoying your longest supporters is likely a good PR move here, you're right. You get streamer support and a smoother launch. People will forget about it once they're actually playing.
You do you, but I've seen way too many games give streamers preferential treatment to the detriment of the community now to not at least be wary of this decision.
When you launch something to a large audience there are some basic expectations for functionality. We’re having our partners help out with that so we don’t end up frustrating thousands of people on day one. It’s the right thing to do.
Nothing to do with preferential treatment, especially considering I don’t even watch anyone or anything on Twitch.
So doing right by your backers in y'alls mind here is giving other people access first over people that have supported you for years?
You know who else is capable of testing things? Your backers.
Potentially frustrating every single person that backed the game isn’t really worth it in my opinion.
Why do you keep trying to tempt us with these memes?
Is the partner program still open? I have a small twitch following with a decent amount of zombie content.
We’ll be posting some information very shortly on how to gain access to the program if you are a content creator. Keep an eye on Discord, Twitter, Reddit, etc. for the announcement.
When it's cleared, come back and tell us. 95% means NOTHING in court. It either IS or it ISN'T. Also, letting the partners in first who haven't even backed the game, made a youtube video or streamed any released info.. Tisk tisk.. Huge slap in the face to someone who HAS dropped real $$ to help build this ship.
Disputes like this rarely make it to court because at the end of the day we complied with the party that brought this issue up. We weren’t in court nor am I spending $150,000 when compliance is far more cost effective.
Our partners are acting as guinea pigs to make sure things work when your key. Saying that they haven’t backed the game when most of the boomstick tier backers are people in our partner program and I honestly cannot think of a single partner that hasn’t backed the project.
But how do I get the key?
I understand that but how do I get the key? The post said I have to register somewhere? Why isn't it an automated process? Indiegogo has my email, send the key to that email and I'll register it on your site / my account right?
Register an account on qisoftware.ca with the same email as your Indiegogo account.
You’ll have access to your key through there, you’ll also gain access to the backer role on Discord and on the forums in the near future.
They did it because the partners have a different NDA then the backers. Smaller sample size so if they need to push back the CA more they can and the partners are less likely to spill the beans.
Once that countdown starts and you see it live on the Indiegogo it’s the point of no return. At the end of it you will be given access to the game.
I don't understand the staggered release, what do I have to do now? Register where?
We’re letting our partners in right around the start of the countdown to CA so we can test the game with a sizeable audience and have the time to make any fixes that are needed or issues preventing the game from being playable.
We aren’t experienced AAA vets, and don’t have experience launching a project of this magnitude. It would be irresponsible to release the Closed Alpha without testing to make sure everything on our backend is functioning correctly.
"While we have not fully solved the issue that we are having pressed on us from the legal side, it looks like that by the start of next week we should have things squared off."
"if things continue to move forward smoothly next week"
The legal issue isn't even resolved yet.... Everything after that about launch etc.. Is just fluff. None of it matters because the issue that has been holding back the CA IS STILL THERE....
Even though it isn’t resolved just yet it’s 95% there. I regrettably didn’t say that it would be resolved for certain but given how things have gone for us recently I have no doubts that the countdown will be spinning up next week.
