I have to wonder, how much does it pay to be a  fluffer? Because I am for sale, and I can be had for very, very cheap.

So I just realized there is a "Next" button on the funding page, but clicking it doesn't do anything. I want to know what goal comes after 2.5 Million for Harvesting. I got to know, the mystery is killing me. Phrosphor posted:It's cool, Niko and all the other mods have been banned from Reddit and some pubbie is taking over the transverse subreddit. So, as a guy who's never gone to reddit except link clicks (thanks for that MW4 Mercs link by the way, only played it once right before it was pulled from those old forums. Then computer issues), how often does this happen? To real business people, multiple business people, at once. Not just some random person trolling up threads.

I can confirm that I am the mastermind behind having Transverse mods shadowbanned.

Since I happen to be the second post after the above, may I just add ITS LIKE RAAAAA-HAAAY-AAAIIN ON YOUR WEDDING DAY Section Z posted:So, as a guy who's never gone to reddit except link clicks (thanks for that MW4 Mercs link by the way, only played it once right before it was pulled from those old forums. Then computer issues), how often does this happen? To real business people, multiple business people, at once. Not just some random person trolling up threads. You can totally get away with having mod powers over a reddit for your game or company, and many of them do, as long as you don't do the poo poo PGI was doing. You have to be extremely aware of the appearance of neutrality. If you ban people you better have ironclad proof they were the ones being abusive, can't delete critical threads, etc. Klyith fucked around with this message at 23:30 on Sep 10, 2014 |

Section Z posted:So I just realized there is a "Next" button on the funding page, but clicking it doesn't do anything. It doesn't often since usually the companies aren't stupid enough to open their own subreddit like that. Reddit doesn't like mods squashing dissenting comments which is why they disallow that kind of thing (in theory). PGI is hated enough they acted on it, looks like.

Forgive me, I'm not very familiar with "the reddits". But from I can tell all that's happened so far is that a request to turn it over has been filed but nothing has actually happened to the Transverse subreddit yet. If it does I'll be loving ecstatic!

Not at all as he can just make another account, prove his identity to the outreach mods and be back in business. A reddit ban is not tied to your IP address, email address or anything else. He's lost the transverse sub and he's lost his reddit karma, but there's no lasting effects other than those. In reddit terms I mean.

If what one of the redditors said was true, they've already been shadow banned. Which means that nobody can see anything they post or upload.

I hope this proves an adequate wrist-slap to convince them of the importance of dealing with their poo poo, listening to their customers, and actually finishing the game they promise. I would not even wager a pack of ketchup on that actually happening, but I still hope. They could still unfuck MWO at this point if they got their heads out of their asses, removed ghost heat, and finished implementing all of the missing features while rolling out a suitably sincere-sounding apology. Just look at the assclowns at CCP and their recovery from the station-walking flub and monoclegate in EVE. It can be done, but someone high up in the company has to finally get a clue before it'll happen. Until then, I'm just going to heat up some popcorn and watch their pledge page update. Yep. Annnny minute now.

Tank Boy Ken posted:At their current rate they'll reach their first "stretch goal" in a bit under 200 days. Kinda wondering (worrying) if we'll see it pick up or something, don't kick-starters generally see a big rush at the start, then again right at the end? I kinda hope the fact it's starting off slow is a good sign that it's not going to go much of anywhere.

Valatar posted:Just look at the assclowns at CCP and their recovery from the station-walking flub and monoclegate in EVE. I don't think they recovered. I dropped six accounts after we did Burn Jita because I was tired of CCPs constant bullshit and Hilmar's idea that he didn't need to listen to anyone. That was a good seven years worth of gaming that I'm not really bothered about now. If you consider that Dust 514 was a swing and a miss, CCP is trying to get the Star Citizen money through 'Valkyrie', and they're floating 'Legion' to replace Dust, and they completely dumped the WoD stuff (that gave us monaclegate, the dressup money was going to WoD). CCP is one of the worst for showing pre-rendered bullshit to create hype, then you get half a game.

Trannyverse website looks like a loving joke. They can't even check for loving grammar or missing words. Yet, they want money for some game that's not only already been made, but is still being made by like 10 other companies. Idiots. I'm fairly certain MWO could be making 10x the money it is now.

Hav posted:I don't think they recovered. quote:CCP is trying to get the Star Citizen money through 'Valkyrie' The WoD stuff is totally true though, they took a 20 million write off earlier this year on the whole thing. I'd put it like this: CCP is a company that listens to their customers pretty well. Unfortunately that's only the first step, and if your management and execution is bad the end result is only a smidge better than otherwise.

kingcom posted:First change was to have the entire clan invasion being wave after wave of gargoyle primes. That's fine. Gargoyles in my LP are actually pretty terrifying 5/8[10]/5 monsters. Kingcom was just poking fun at me being a huge nerd (it's well deserved, I'm a huge nerd). I have a "Let's Play: BattleTech" thread over in the LP subforum. In four months, it'll be four years old. I have been successfully waging Community Warfare for longer than MWO has existed as a playable game. The current mission is actually kinda MWO-themed, in terms of player/OpForce capabilities (I even made all the player `Mechs "Star League Green" and gave them orange cockpits  ).

Klyith posted:Bizarre to say since their prototypes for Valkyrie were shown in early 2013 only a few months after star citizen got announced / kickstarted. Now every space game is ripping off SC? No, just the ones announced after the tidal wave of money that hit Roberts. There were some space games released before the announcement that I haven't mentioned because of the timing, which as you'll note from your quote above was _shortly after_ Star Citizen. Since then they've been very quiet about it, presumably because they have no clue how to tie it into Eve. Likewise, Dust 514 never panned out because it got caught in balance hell and they couldn't figure out how to join the economies without tanking either of them; they're doing a re-roll with Legion, this time without the SCEE/SCEA money backing it. CCP is not a good example of a company that does the right thing, it's a great example of a company that found itself a niche. Klyith posted:The WoD stuff is totally true though, they took a 20 million write off earlier this year on the whole thing. I'd put it like this: CCP is a company that listens to their customers pretty well. Unfortunately that's only the first step, and if your management and execution is bad the end result is only a smidge better than otherwise. You're high. During monaclegate, Hilmar actually tried to draw a comparison between designer jeans and the aforementioned 'Monacle' item for your character, justifying the cost. It took the best part of three weeks of making GBS threads up Jita to get them even close to discussing it. And that was just the last example of CCPs weird actions that moderated somewhat when they started to break open the book on ethics. Google 'T20'. When you come back and tell me about how that was a historical thing and they've learned better, figure out why they've learned better. Hint: getting caught plays a part.
