This is like Early Access to the new Battlefield Forums.
Basically, you’re seeing it barebones. Think of it as the CTE for BF4.
We’re gonna test things, try new things, add new features.
Constructive feedback on what you think is lacking, what you don’t like, what you do like - this will help.
Here’s some constructive criticism;
General look is plain depressing. It’s incredibly bland compared to BF4 one. I’d like to believe your designer has been rushed and he’s supposed to change it in the future.
There’s this thing with the post counter of every individual.. for example the one above me, it says “17 POSTSPOSTS: 20” - what’s up with that?
Every ‘category’ (sub forum) is listed so far below eachother, makes it look like a forum for a 10 year old’s personal blog and not an EA title. Tighten the gaps pronto.
Seriously just open two tabs, one with the BF4 forum and the other one with this one. You’re bound to see a huge difference.
That’s the general tone of what I’m seeing currently. Braddock, feel free to pay more attention to those who chose to bash me (constructive criticism much).
Other than that it’s great to have a PM system, and I can see a reddit style up/down vote coming up as well (agree, promote, disagree, LOL, abuse etc) - which is a nice addition. Forum-freaks love those.
i think you just like to argue, lol. but how about some creative ideas, that is what your really after is it not? have any? they are listening, its as good as time as any to be heard if you have any of those.
I agree that this current forum look is bland and depressing. Like, if you’re trying to encourage people to not come here to post, except for the most aggressive and narrowly-opinionated die-hards, this forum’s look is probably the way to do it.
Also, the fonts are too large, making posts take up a lot more space than necessary. It makes for inefficient reading. It’s a super minimalist design, yet the large fonts and narrow post boxes end up making each page feel look bloated and cumbersome to peruse.
The previous Battlelog forums are also pretty minimalist - too much so, in my opinion. But this forum is minimalist, and lacking the viewing aesthetics of the previous forum, and has a bulky layout that frustrates navigation and reading.
I get that this is an alpha or beta version of the forums, and what we’re seeing is a functional platform to grow the forums from. I think that decreasing the text size and bulkiness between posts, and also the button size on desktop monitors can immediately improve the visual environment. And the colours need something to be done with them. White on grey on grey on grey is not creating a pleasing sensastion.
Are you dumb? I just listed what I think to be the most important flaws. Did you even read? No you didn’t, you just addressed it as me liking the argument.
Holy molly this community is on the bricks as it is.
Edit: NICE one with the quotes! Finally it won’t be a complete mess like in the BF4 forum!
lol, wow so you cant read huh, who the hell argues about some one coming up with suggestions of using creative ideas instead of you who constantly complains with no solution, oh someone like yourself. all you do is point out things that bother you and don’t make you happy, but never have any ideas, otherwise you would post them instead of complaining like a 12 year old child all the time. grow up or be ignored when it matters. and lose your chance at getting listened too.
Honestly don’t know what’s more stupid - The fact you think I care if you ignore me or not / The fact you obviously don’t ignore me hence the two replies / The fact that both a Moderator and an EA staff member posted in this thread while you go on about me being ignored.
Keep whining while grown ups are mentioning what’s wrong in the current forum layout, please.
The only thing I regret with not playing the new BF1 is not being able to farm dumbasses like you on a daily basis.
i am not talking about me ignoring you , i am talking about the creative team ignoring you, but whatever keep taking things out of context and arguing like you always do. you cant farm nothing, your to busy whining all the time. or trying to provoke people to create forum drama, because you like to troll. either way i don’t care. have fun. oh wait you cant, oh well not my problem.
I rather liked the blue of the old forums, Perhaps these ones should take on a color that fits the general tone of the art in game… Maybe they do, I haven’t seen enough of it to judge.
Also take a look at the “better Battlelog” extension for the Battlelog forums, there where many improvements to the general forum experience within that, many of which could be implemented on these forums.
