With EA coming up and a lot of potentially new people entering the game during test phase we really need more organization of the forums for new players. It should not be as hard as it is the fid the most basic information about the game and correct non outdated information.
Each class should get its own section with sub categories:
*Classes
*Each Class
*Announcement read only with Basic information about that class. Role, race, armor types, weapon types abilities current status, recent changes and what is in development.
*Guides - a place where people can post guides on how things work
*QA - a place where people can ask questions specific to that class
*Suggestions
Something similar could be done with craft as well but I think class is a good place to start. There really is not a lot of info on each class and some of the info and videos are old and no longer relevant. Forums is a good place where the community can help the developers and forum staff but we need some organization. Forums only work if it is organized easy to fid the specific info you are looking for without having to filter through so much stuff. If forums are not organized then it makes it hard for players to share information with other players, staff and developers. Makes it near impossible for especially new players to find the info they need. It instead becomes a place where people come to complain or discuss issues. Forums should be about community coming together helping each other out. When people make good guides or posts regarding specific aspects of the game that helps new players those posts can be Pinned. There could be a pinned post with links to specific guides or posts that are helpful. I really want this game to succeed, having a forums with categories and organization helps us help you and each other. We want new people coming to forums to check out status of game to see a community coming together and helping each other we need the tools to do that. It is one of the most fundamental thing a game needs to succeed in this department it has a lot to be desired. Finding basic information about a game and its function should not be this hard and incomplete, with EA coming up this is a very crucial thing that needs to be done.
Thank You
