One to focus strictly on gameplay, one for more general mechwarrior-related discussion. This one's getting kind of cramped.

Sounds like a suggestion to me...

What you are talking about can be fixed with just a new section. We dont need a new forum.

[pursang]

Anything that doesn't fit in General Discussion usually fits in the Off Topic section.

Err, well I think we're operating under different application of the word 'forum'.

Regardless, we're both talking about the same thing

I fail to see why threads about gameplay mechanics should be in threat of falling off the page so people can make threads talking about their favorite mech, which is what 80% of what this forum currently is.

Not that we have much to talk about mechanics-wise right now, but most of these sort-of-on-topic threads should be swept aside elsewhere.

MWLL forums have a 'beta discussion' which is 90% gameplay topics, and a 'general discussion' which is 90% topics about the game that aren't related to gameplay.

So a thread about your favorite kills should go in the 'general discussion' and a discussion about whether or not jumpjets are effective enough would go in the 'gameplay discussion' forum.

Right now we just have one forum which is functioning as general *and* gameplay.


It would declutter a lot of the forum and make finding what you care to talk about a lot easier! So we'll know where to go to start pissy whiny balance threads

I think the balance threads may merit a section once Open Beta hits, but right now we're really working off speculation + a few tidbits from the devs so I don't see it as a high priority right now.

It might reduce the number of redundant threads being created about some gameplay concerns that have been talked into the ground and/or answered by devs already, though, which would be nice.

[Deathz Jester]

A Gameplay & Bugs/Tweaks Section would be nice.

[Freyar]

Gameplay Bugs and Tweaks should be in.. uh.. CBT secret forum club sections?

[Nik Van Rhijn]

Can't see why they shouldn't have a gameplay section to split these areas away from general as many don't fit in suggestions. Just as requests for individual mechs doesn't really fit here IMO.

[Rodney28021]

Need moderators to clean up useless threads and topics more. Add more sections. Start a section on playing guides, bugs, etc.

Since none of us have played the game it's all general speculation anyway, I assume they already feel like they have gameplay forums (sections) that are probably only open to beta players.

I'd say these forums are a little clunky, and not the most sleek to use, but then again a lot of forums are this way. However it seems that this wasn't what was meant from the OP's post.
