Unlocking XFOG Threads

[Bartoge]

I don't know why they are in the first place but I think that the XFOG should be unlocked. I know there is only Conquest right now, but I think that there should be able to have discussions about the gametypes. Maybe like improvements, discussions about ideas for maps and spin offs, and anything related. I think it would bring more attention to them because I have no reason to look at the thread because not much really gets posted besides updates for it.

There doesn't need to be a big reason to look at the thread multiple times, they aren't something that members need to constantly look at for the exact reason that you mentioned; they never really change. The big reasons you will go to look at them are...


Because you haven't looked at it before
You are building a map for the gametype
You need some information on how to play the Gametype
You want a list of Certified Maps




By the time that a Gametype makes it to XFOG, there shouldn't really be any improvements to make, it should basically be perfected. We won't make it an XFOG until people have played it to death and have pointed out any possible downfall. Yes, I know that nothing is perfect, but if something comes up then the author can be contacted through the original thread in the Gametype forum. Conquest is the only XFOG that won't have one of these threads.

If you want to discuss ideas for maps, you shouldn't be clogging the official thread with that, because then it will just become pages and pages of crap about random ideas for maps, and that is not what you want to read about a gametype. Instead, make a new thread in Forge Discussion and propose your idea(s).

But what if someone is unfamiliar with a gametype and they have a question about it? Is there any problem with having it unlocked?

Basically, we don't want it to be clogged with all of that stuff, it is specifically an informative post.

Like I said, on all future XFOGs, there will be an original thread in the Gametype Forum. That thread will be linked to in the XFOG thread, and all questions can be directed there.

Anybody else have any thoughts on this. Just because I say something, doesn't make it law, I'm always open to other opinions/options.

I think you should keep it closed because then it would just be another gametype forum. Maybe vote on an xfog every 2 weeks or something.

Right now, XFOGs aren't going to be left up to voting, but rather just general community interest, but that is an entirely different beast than when is being discussed here.

Seeing as nobody else has spoken up, I'm going to close this issue for the time being.
