Everyone Cool Down

[yaebginn]

I may or may not get flamed for this, but I dont much care. Everyone cool your jets. I hear like, 'what mods will there be' and 'swbf 2' I mean, its great that there's so much excitement, but lets just wait for Battlefront to come out, anticipate that game. Not some dream game. Cause if you look forward to the things in 'SWBF2' then you'll miss out on the great experience in SWBF the original. I'm not trying to act like a jerk and i hope I am not perceived as one, I'm just saying, let's all be patient and stop to smell the roses, enjoy what we have in front of us (or will in september)

[Eagle Warrior]

I totally agree. Why is everyone excited about swbf2 when swbf has not even come out yet.

[yaebginn]

exactly! glad this isnt being accepted as bad as schetter was.

[fuzzyfreaker]

I may be a noob, but i totally agree. Why look forward to something so long away when the we can enjoy the first SWBF coming this fall? So guys, WAAAIIIITTTT.

Well, I agree the number of threads discussing topics we can't even guesss what they will be like in the game or threads only describing a very small aspect of the game is rising very fast. But I don't think this is because people are to excited, but because there is nothing else too post:

 

Normally, a bunch of new information about the game gives a lot of new topics to discuss. But we already know very much about the game, and new information is very rare. This makes good new topics rare too, because it's very difficult to find a topic that has not already been discussed.

 

For me, it gets increasingly more difficult to post something, because at most good topics, everything is already said.So people make new threads to keep the forums alive.

 

So people aint nothing to discuss more at old topics, and making a good new one is difficult because everything has already been discussed and new info for new discussions is rare.

 

Conclusion: To keep the forums alive, people are making allkinds of bad posts. I haven't seen a lucasforums members with some experience (those who are around here a little bit longer) post here in weeks. This is for me evidence they're out of topics, and so am I.

 

So should we just keep 'radiosilence' until the game is in stores and we have new topics to discuss? I don't think so, because these forums have a great comunity, wich should stay allive. So I think the main discussion should be concentrated a little more on the upcoming clans, a topic where we have lot's of stuff left to discuss. And we need some other new things to concentrate on. But I don't have a clue what kind of things.

I am guilty of the swbf II post. Maybe it was a stupid thing to do (I admitted the possibility in my post), and yes, it was due to (a) lack of anything interesting to discuss and (b) post e3 excitement that got me thinking about swbf again and I'd already read every new preview too many times already. But I don't regret my post because I feel like the point of this forum is to have fun speculating on what might come about. We are all capabe of looking up previews online and reading the official information, and if this forum was limited to discussing only these types of topics I think we would all get pretty bored fairly quickly. For me at least, the reason I come to this forum is the pleasure of asking what if... or what do you think they will do about this issue...? It's the combining the known facts in a rational manner to try to guess the things we don't yet know that I enjoy. I'm sorry if you interpret my post as "bad", but I will confess to being overexcited and offer no apologies for that.

battle front 3 will pwn!

If there are good threads active in the forums, such a thread as swbfII would drive me mad, because it gets lots of attention ("why dit you post that?", "This is meaningless!") and psuhes the other threads down that way. But in this case there should be some new threads to keep the discussion alive.

I see the same sort of thing happening already here. Discussions about extra features outside of what has already been exhibited, speculations on 'mission objectives' for maps, and even on LAG in the game have already appeared. More new, useless discussions on trivial topics get started each week, and most of them end up like, "and so they should definately add that because that would be sweet" in reference to some fantasy scenario they dreamed up during their lunch hour. Y'all need to chill or else the majority of you chatting up a storm here are going to be greatly disappointed with the finished product simply because the game can't possibly match up to the fantastic model that you're creating inside your head.

 

 

Thank you for reposting one of my initial points after you brushed it off as nothing. Nice work.

[VanLingo]

Maybe we're running out of things to discuss. There has been a shortage of new Battlefront info lately.

 

Here's the thing: you or I can post whatever we want on these boards (to a degree of common sense ie. no flaming). Jusr because a topic is not generally accepted does not mean that it is irrelevant.

When I posted in Schetter's thread, I never said that his ideas were uncalled for, I just said that he was wrong.

 

If I see a topic that I think is ridiculous, I let them know -- "this topic is ridiculous". But that doesn't change the fact that it is now a discussion, so I let them know why I don't agree with their view.

 

Personally, I hope that all of these dreamers get disappointed. If someone gets scared away from Battlefront because you can't be Darth Maul, that's one less little kid team killing and singing over the headset.

I'm just saying the general quality of topics is goining down, because most things have already been discussed.

[Ewok Homie]

I totaly agree we need to focus on the good points that have already been stated by the press on the game not things were making up.

Theres no harm in discussing SWBF2 as I think Battlefront will indeed be a success. You may/may not know, people from Lucasarts do indeed visit these forums and I have to admit, LA are very good at listening to the community of late.

 

The forums are here to debate everything to do with Battlefront, Version 1 or the possible 2! Lets fill Lucasarts with ideas! Who knows, some ideas might even make it into the current version!

it does say on their site though that they DONT accept ideas, suggestions etc, only inhouse thoughts. If you cant even have them accept things you push into their arms, why would they go snoopin behind our backs and stealing these

This is required for legal purposes. If their policy was that they would accept any and all idea submissions for consideration from the public, then every game feature could possibly come up for contention in a legal suit (e.g. "I thought up the idea of making AT-AT's drivable so I'm suing LA's for my percentage of the royalties"). Under the current policy, they can deny any knowledge of other's ideas and are protected from suits like these. As for them bothering to "snoop" on boards like these... Pretend you're a member of the awesome design team creating one of the best games coming out in the Star Wars lineup. I think you might get curious/find amusement in reading what others think about what's coming out, and especially when they get it wrong (e.g. many of us think the mystery planet is Kashykk, but they laugh to themselves because they know it's really Alderan (sp?)).

[Guest DarthMaulUK]

LA do listen to ideas from the community - were the ones who are buying the games!

 

An example would be with Galactic Battlegrounds. The AT-AT walkers couldnt fire at air units, so after serious debates on these forums and others, in the add on pack, AT ATs could indeed fire at air units like in the movie.

 

There's a whole host of things they take from the community, without some of you even knowing, so its always worth the debating.

Yeah, but battlefront is NOT made by LucasArts at all.

First of all, as far as I know, there was only one thread about it, with one person thinking about it, so you could as well just post it there.

[yaebginn]

wrongo, I'm talking about the wide variety, such as battlefront2, mods for battlefront, etc etc.

[tFighterPilot]

There was what? One thread about mods for battlefront? Yeah, it's stupid, no doubt, but why making a thread about it?

[yaebginn]

for the mods or complaining about it? if you choose the latter, it's so more people can be aware and try to calm down a bit.

[tFighterPilot]

Yeah, the later.

 

Letting people know that they can calm down?
