I agree the forums got a bit more agressive, but it's caused by a few factors we can hardly change.
1st: The closed beta started, devs are always picking more and more people, but every wants in, most won't.
With this come people asking about beta requirements (being in NA).
And also people who make fun of us, because they got in.
2nd: With beta also came many new people. After the while of relative veterancy and knowledge of most users, we now have to deal with all Mad Catters, Civil war tech maniacs, etc.
Also, many people asking stuff we already know and discussing it once again.
3rd: And lastly, human nature. The mre it seems it will be perfect, we start worrying it will be *just* good.
Then we start worrying it won't even be good, just average and.... till we start to really worry about the quality of the game.
We can't change it. I try to do my best to help people as much as possible to get back to the resting phase, but if someone can't handle it, only way to go is not comming to forums and only reading announcements for a while.
I don't know. This seems to have begun prior to the Beta announcements.
I agree that you try to help out. I started a topic (my first by the way) awhile back, and posted it in the wrong area. You pointed it out to me, and you were polite and helpful about it.

In my opinion it has gotten a little bit rougher but that was to be expected as also some other posters explained. For myself it is still on the good side compared with a lot of other forums.
All the more reason I don't get involved in many forums.

I think part of it has been due to the fact that we've been getting more concrete information from the Devs and preview videos.
Some people are seeing things they like, others aren't, and where before they could just say 'we don't have info to say what the Devs are going to do,' now they can argue over what they saw in the vids and what it means. A good example would be the thread about armor values that split between TT purists and people with more flexible attitudes towards balance.
I would think it would be just the opposite. Once the Dev's have spoken (so-to-speak) it should remove the ambiguity from the subject. Agree or disagree with their decision? Fine. But why start flaming each other about it?

The end is in sight and because we can now see the end many people's patience is finaly starting to give.
But I do belive once we start shooting our autocannons and PPC's they will calm down.
Here's hoping that you are right.

Welcome to the forum wars. Just wait this is still just skirmishing.
And the dash comes down on hope.

Agreed. Unfortunately you will see worse than what is currently going on. This is what happens when you expand from a hardcore fanbase that will debate and argue, yet respect each other, to a much wider user base that includes your every day video gamer and 13 year old. One of the laws of the internet.
I wouldn't mind seeing a veterans forum emerge for users. I know this would upset a lot of newer people, but once again, laws of the internet.
Just make sure to keep your cool about topics and don't help feed the angry forum users.
ONLY YOU CAN PREVENT FORUM FIRES! LOL 
If it is necessary to segregate the community to keep things civil that would be unfortunate indeed.
I do not post all that frequently as it is. If the topic appeals to me, and I have something worthwhile to put into it I post. But lately I have not bothered. Even when I find it an interesting topic. The ensuing arguments leave me with such a bad taste I don't even want to get involved. Which, apparently, is the best way to stay out of the fire.
I guess I will likely just be a bit more reserved about posting for a while, and hope that things mellow out abit.
