In Reply to the Locked Topics

Firstly, the "mounts" topic in "Ideas and suggestions"
http://www.nsrealm.com/boards/viewtopic ... highlight=
The actual NWN Updates are large as it is, the CEP is actualy accepted by both the community and the NWN team, it adds much functionality and features that many of us would love to have in ns4.

Just because YOU think the discussion is over, doesnt mean everyone else does. What on earth was the point of locking that thread? it wasent a flame war, no trolls, no bait, nothing, it was just a suggestion and a discussion, and you LOCKED IT.

In the other locked thread in Ideas and Suggestions:
http://www.nsrealm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=3341

I was told that ideas and suggestions were welcome. You failed to mention that they are only welcome long enough for you to dismiss them.

Sure, that one was getting a little hot, but there was no need to lock it. The DM could have stepped in and gave an opinion on the matter.
Fact is:
bigbys = 1 KD attempt per round, ~10hp damage
fighter KD = 4 KDs per round, full damage, unlimited number of times.

Instead of telling everyone to shut up, why not give an opinion, like "its balanced" or "its in favor of the mage" or "it is overrated" or ANYTHING.

Dont tell me that ideas and suggestions are welcome, and then lock every idea and suggestion you dont agree with.

Forums are here for us to DISCUSS THINGS, that is the reason for having them. If you just want to tell everyone to STFU, then i'd suggest 'rm -rf ./phpbb'

For gods sake look at this topic
http://www.nsrealm.com/boards/viewtopic.php?t=3259

How do you explain locking a perfectly tame and good suggestion, and let the obvious BS fly around the room.

Check that out, even a dev posted in there, an OPINION! OMG!
Must be the KST tag...

oh lookie here, a similar thread that doesnt involve KST... and its locked too!

A few thoughts:

I bet this thread will get locked. Damn fast. I want to get in my $0.02 before it does.

You know, if a thread has been locked, bringing up the same subject and whining about the thread being locked to boot in a new thread probably won't get any sympathy from the dev team.

I don't see any problems with discussing with whether the CEP should be added or not. However, it seems the devs have decided, regardless of what Joran originally said, not to use Haks at all. So case is closed for them. I'm sure some will be disappointed that their favorite Haks won't be included, but to me it's a non-issue. Too many Haks start making things messy what with Hak conflicts and all, and from what I've rad this is a pretty damn complicated module to begin with. It's best to say "No Haks, period", rather than adding Hak X, and having players clamor to have Haks Y and Z added which don't work very all at well with Hak X. While I like the CEP, the devs have done some pretty good work fleshing out this module with no Haks.

As for the second thread, simply complaining "the devs nerf everything good" was probably what got it locked.

Just for the record - it wasn't me that locked it.

However CONSTRUCTIVE being the operative word around here I'm locking this one.
