That pretty much hits the nail on the head. Most of the "bad suggestions" I've seen (and made) were all about adding more realism to existing blocks.

Re: Here's an idea: stop posting ideas
BTW doesn't exactly put focus on realism. It does, however, focus on internal consistency. It makes most things intuitive, and justifies the processes and applications of items and blocks. Hell, if BTW was focused on realism, why would we be infusing the souls of the damned into our equipment and delving into the occult? :)kazerima wrote: That pretty much hits the nail on the head.

I really think you should avoid the suggestion subforum entirely. Including this thread.kazerima wrote: That pretty much hits the nail on the head.

And no, that isn't why your ideas are bad.

Bumping because it needs to be. Can we please get a sticky? This thread has pretty much reached the point of no discussion, but it needs to be near the top to be read.

Re: Here's an idea: stop posting ideas
Yeah, agreed. The bumps are getting almost as annoying as the suggestions :)
Re: Here's an idea: stop posting ideas
I'd just like to say: Having a suggestion forum with a sticky saying to not post here is just hilarious :)

Re: Here's an idea: stop posting ideas
At least now we know, all these first post suggestions easily warrant a ban ;)
Re: Here's an idea: stop posting ideas
Probably won't change much, since people who aren't willing to read the subforum rules also aren't willing to read this. But at least we can say it's there :PBinoAl wrote:At least now we know, all these first post suggestions easily warrant a ban ;)

Re: Here's an idea: stop posting ideas
I think this forum gives and important outlet to the need to share an cool idea.
Your right of course that 99% of ideas are crap.
But sometimes we can't help ourselves.

Like I saw on the forums: FC gains more from people bitching about vanilla than people suggesting things for BTW.

I'm starting that thread up in Off Topic for one other reason, which is rather unbelievable that nobody has even posted this "annoyance" yet in the short amount of time v1.3.2 has been out.Graphite wrote:Rename the forum to "Vanilla complaints and annoyances"? :P

Just a reminder that this thread definitely still applies.
I don't like suggestions.
I don't want suggestions.
Unless you *know* that your suggestion is brilliant and will bring something *significant* to the mod, don't bother.

Re: Here's an idea: stop posting ideas
That's all well and good but why lock the discussion thread?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but it seems like there's an important difference between something posted to say "I like this idea and think this should be in the mod!" and one posted to say "I like this idea and wish to practice design and speculation upon it with the other forum members."

Re: Here's an idea: stop posting ideas
Because the suggestions forum is not a place for discussion of that kind. Perhaps if it were in the BTW Discussion forum, or Off-Topic Discussion it would be more appropriate.

Very well then, if that is the case from now on, I shall note it for future reference.

the first rule of better than wolves is that you do not post suggestions about better than wolves...
the second rule of better than wolves is that YOU DO NOT POST SUGGESTIONS ABOUT BETTER THAN WOLVES!
the third rule; no trolls, no noobs, no jerks.
fourth rule; do not argue with flowerchild
and the fifth and final rule of better than wolves; if this is your first post, don't post in the suggestion forum.

Re: Here's an idea: stop posting ideas
There are people that do that in real life too. It just requires more blood, chanting , candles and a unique outlook on life. BTW just stream lines the process more soul gathering fun less billowing robes and Latin verb conjugation.BinoAl wrote:Hell, if BTW was focused on realism, why would we be infusing the souls of the damned into our equipment and delving into the occult? :)

I do not want your ideas. They suck. Go away.
