I'm starting to see news items about TSW that have been posted on the Discord server and generously reposted on the forum by members of both. But this won't always be the case. Are we going to have a situation where DTG staff are posting on the Discord server and bypassing forum members who may not hear important announcements? This is concerning because I have no interest in Discord for a number of reasons. And I'm not sure why this switch is being made. Maybe I'm worrying unnecessarily. Or maybe I just don't understand the purpose of discord. I don't know. But I don't like discord and I don't like this trend.
I will say that DTG are way more active on Discord than the forums. At least Harry is very active on Discord daily but we rarely see her on the forums. Candace has lots of one on one conversations woth people all the time, but she is active on here as well. I have notice that articles are posted there before the forums as well. However they are too strict on Discord I find and alot of critical posts are magically removed. Example I posted blurry texture images on the TSW screenshots section and the next day they had been removed as inapproriate and I was muted for 24 hours. The game is dead and I uninstalled it from my Series X on the 16th. Which is a shame since I have been playing since 2020 and had purcased 121 DLC items. I feel like I wasted 5 years of my life.
When discord was announced I saw the writing on the wall for the forum I just wasn’t ready for how quick it would come. I get that forums cost money to maintain and data storage isn’t cheap. The fact that DTG latest love child Metro rivals doesn’t have its own sub forum tells us all how little focus they are giving to the forums and the remaining community here. I tried discord but in all honesty its just to hard to keep track of discussions and many important points are lost in the noise.
