Guys, TW's behaviour towards MP is not an oversight, they WANTED to kill official modes hence their multiple changes to hurt the experience of MP players (Captain being the main focus imo) throughout our time, did we keep silent? Many of us let them know that their actions were wrong, they were making our experience worse with new patches and their ranked system finished the job for good. Now, there are less official servers, they can keep their money in their pockets. Playerbase now must rely on dedicated servers to play the game they paid for. THE END. That's my take anyways, you can scroll through my posts to find some interesting stuff which proves my point.

That's great!

At this point, this mod is my only hope to start enjoying the game again. I didn't touch the game since May after they made captain mode intolerable.
I was a fan of the original PW and this looks like it'll be a worthy successor. I have my fingers crossed and can't wait to try it out. Best of luck.

liar thats what u did at 2:38 hitted me and spammed "sorry".
Aren `t you ashamed lying so obvious?

Am I lying? huh, funny troll. If they go through the trouble to check, the logs from the previous match will show the truth buddy, all they have to do is to read the chat logs. Most players know what you are all about anyways, you just got kicked again an hour or so ago, lol. Keep on griefing, I don't care if TW lets you play or not, it's their own game and I don't even play that often anymore, I can take the break, especially since with what little time I have, I have to deal with griefers like you who think they can manipulate people here with your "proofs" because it's known the 3 minute recordings paint the whole picture.

I don't know if TW mods can find it but check the logs in the previous match. The troll started teamhitting me whenever I was close to the enemy troops while trying to disguise hits as "accidental", killed my mount for a few times and wrote "ez" and later got mad because he almost got kicked by 4 votes twice, but polls failed just because there was a noob who didn't vote. All the more reason why kick polls should pass with majority, otherwise you give opportunity for griefers like this one. He is a known griefer and he gets kicked often because of it.

Great, be honest next time and just admit when you act out of spite. It makes things clearer. Lying part is even more disgusting than the other parts of your attitude. Hope you get better. Bye.

You don't think steering the discussion of your thread from "devs need to pay attention to common complaints" and onto "big meanie mod doesn't like me" is staying on topic? It wasn't you that initiated that second tangent, but you responded to and perpetuated it.

For the sake of transparency, the only person I have issued a warning to for anything related to this thread or discussion was NewBritish for ignoring a warning about making threads to pointlessly attack employees. By my own estimation, I make a terrible tyrant if I can't even crack down on criticism of myself!

Everyone is welcome to criticize forum moderation, and I personally think you should at any time you think a mod has overstepped their bounds, but doing it in whatever thread you want will inevitably kill discussion of the original topic in those threads. That's why this thread, which is clearly about dissatisfaction with mods, remains open but was moved to the correct section.

You're upset your thread was closed, but your thread stopped being about what it was made for on the first page, and by the second page it had switched again. This is indisputable, and it's honestly laughable that you tried to argue this because you yourself reported the first derailment. Now you are choosing not to view your subsequent posts with a critical eye to see how you participated in the same behavior you reported.

Click to expand...

Nice try but I think it's laughable how you still insist on the excuse of "derailment", I think this is the Blücker_'s post you mean as "derailment":
Doesn't look like a derailment to me.

This is my contribution to the "derailment":
You probably thought the second part was on you as well and got offended. Although I thought it was clear I moved on from you after the first paragraph and went on with my on-topic rant about community managers, it's understandable if you are mistaken. What is not understandable is how arrogant you were by trying to use my own reports as the grounds for the lock and claiming it was "repeated derailing" like it took a great deal of effort for the mods' part to manage the thread when in fact you didn't even bother to give the required warnings to the ones who really tried to "derail the thread" by trolling (which I also reported expecting they were gonna continue, which they didn't) before the lock. We didn't go on and on about how irrational and arrogant you were acting which created a "toxic ambiance" for pages as you said that stuff belongs to this thread. It came out in the comment I already shared above and we commented on that and then left it at that, it was over until you decided to pull the same nonsense that I claimed you pulled before and in doing so you proved my point.

Blücher_ said:

Very sad seeing as if I were to say those same words to someone else here, I would be in violation of the rules. Seems like there is a double standard. Mods should stop arguing with people they lord power over, that does more to create a "toxic ambiance" than anything we could ever do.

Click to expand...

I'm not sure if I get the message right but I think Orion is trying to prove a point here like "If they made someone like me a moderator, can you really have hope?". Not sure if anyone else gets the same vibe.

Blücher_ said:

Insult the people who use your forum some more lol

Click to expand...

That's the problem here, they think it's their forum. He is acting all salty towards TW at the same time censoring the popular threads where people share their opinions and suggestions. A few posts from random accounts with silly names and it's done, 3 pages long thread created 4 days ago is locked based on "derailment". "thread ran its' course", tough guy with insane powers, lol.

Orion said:

Sure, except by the time the report was viewed that one derailment had itself been derailed. If I had deleted half the posts in your thread and issued warnings for going off-topic, we'd be having this discussion anyway because some of them were yours. It's simpler and less irritating for everyone to lock a thread and treat it as a verbal warning for all involved than to slap half a dozen people with minor warning points which half the time spur them into making more bull**** posts about being persecuted and abused.

Click to expand...

So you think a derailment means any post you don't like to see? I'm curious that which of my posts in the thread would be considered as a "derailment", please show me. I was surprised and checked my posts in the thread to be sure one by one and I think I'm gonna have a fun time. Waiting for your response.

Count Delinard said:

I will have to ask you to stop bringing up someone's mental health here, discuss the point and not the person.

You see, we don't act unilaterally here in the moderation team and we discuss things. I agreed with locking the thread because it was simply generating a toxic ambiance which doesn't help anyone.

Your own comments like:







Are full of incorrect assumptions and are purely toxic.

Besides, there is no secret agenda for closing threads that criticize the company, drop the conspiracies, please, all we are trying to do is to foster a healthy environment for devs and players to interact so that the game and this community can thrive as best as possible.. Sure, many of the game's design decisions ain't helping, but comments like the ones I quoted above won't help either.

Click to expand...

Incorrect assumptions? I regularly play MP, when I say devs don't even touch the game (I said game there but I mean Multiplayer, if they do play Singleplayer, good for them), I state that fact based on experience. It's not at all "toxic" to state it's WRONG for someone who doesn't play quick play modes to decide what's best for their playerbase, you need to get involved with the community who is actually keeping these modes alive and/or you need to go in, play these modes yourself for a while and then make your decision, even it's wrong, at least we can say it has been decided by someone who isn't a total stranger to what is going on and he actually experienced the game and genuinely thought this change was necessary.

dirtshrimp said:

And TW has a total of 1 person working on multiplayer at any given time haha. Yeah it can't be compared. TW is mostly focused on singleplayer which isn't perfect but at least they have something to show for.

Don't underestimate the power of interns.

From another thread and it was a joke regarding someone else's sarcastic take "1 person", neither comment is "toxic" in my book, after months of "serious" "constructive" criticisms during the early closed beta/early access times, most people just make sarcastic remarks about development and management and rightly so. Main target of these is actually the management.

Make a poll right now about how many people here agrees with my remarks and considers "Advanced AI" and "Advanced Diplomacy" nonsense in dev blogs to be "false marketing", I can imagine right now how the results would look like.

I said "Easy there cowboy" to a player whom I know and play with sometimes, did you consider that as toxic or was it the "we would be lucky to have a dev who touches the game once in a month." part? Nevermind, I'm convinced I'm the devil now. (joke)

Orion said:

So you're OK with me closing it, as that's what you expected when you made the report. Glad to see we're on the same page here.

I don't have any official guidance from TW on moderation outside of the posted mission statement & rules, and as I mentioned previously in this thread the rules weren't even written by TW. They had some minimum requirements for legality's sake (e.g. no porn, no piracy) but that was the extent of it.

I'll take my mental health advice from some place other than a Turkish video game forum, hope that's OK.

Click to expand...

No, I'm not OK with you closing it. I reported the ones who tried to derail my thread early to "protect the thread". I expect a moderator to issue warnings and mutes to people who break the rules, not censor the threads which people use to state their opinions and suggestions, based on unfounded nonsense. Excuse me for not thinking that locking threads without giving proper justification and with an arrogant attitude and stating that "the thread ran its' course" when it's not even 4 days old and when it's only 3 pages long is a normal behaviour for a moderator. You might think "Nothing will work to get Taleworlds do something about it, they won't listen no matter what." and that might be the case but saying that all the while you lock any thread with petty "reasons" which starts to get attention is not rational. Your attitude genuinely makes me worried about your mental state and I'm not giving you any advice other than the advice to seek professional help if you have any troubles, it's easy to take that the wrong way on the internet but unlike you, I don't try to be hostile right now.

Blood Gryphon said:

@The Sign of 33 you mad he called you out for calling yourself out.

Might be time for you to walk away like he suggested, the dots aren't connecting.

Btw im just here to derail the thread in hopes you report me for derailing and continue the cycle of your hypocrisy. For the lulz

Click to expand...

You are not a bright one, are you buddy? I reported the ones who try to derail the thread because I knew he was gonna pull the same crap which he did. What are you on about?

Edit: the complete post I made, keep posting gifs, they don't make you look any smarter.

The powers that be claim that the feedback given has already been given in "easily accessible" other areas, yet nothing is done to address the feedback outside of minor stats changes that are ultimately inconsequential compared to the games core problems. So obviously the feedback either isnt being heard as clearly as they claim or its straight up being ignored. Either way, if the feedback doesnt get addressed, it needs to continue being given. This is not a complicated process.

Either he is suffering from depression or something like that and likes to abuse his forum permissions or this is the Taleworlds' official way of silencing dissatisfied players where they have the option to pin it to a single mod account just in case the whole thing goes sideways. Any thread which gets around 1 k views is in his radar. As I said, I don't buy his act. Censorship is pretty obvious at this time.

FearSpear said:

I thought it was pretty funny too

Click to expand...

Yeah. Send some new accounts to derail the threads then lock these threads to stop them from getting too much attention all the while you make salty comments on Taleworlds about how they are "blind" and you shouldn't support them. Really buddy? He just proved my point there. Funny stuff.
