Ebb And Flow Of The Forums Is Different.

19 Jan 2024, 16:31

I feel like the introduction of Carking into the forums changed the Forums from a legitimate place of assistance and help to a spam liking garbage post fest. This is not meant to offend anyone, but full offence to all of those who participate in this, i used to like this place, and it was moderated quite well, now its so absolutely trash that the mods cant bother to even attempt to try to moderate it anymore. This place also used to be a safe space for anyone of any rank, but now, apparently, rank = how smart and powerful you are, which is utter bullshit. I'm not blaming Bytro for anything, i'm blaming the horrible users who turned this into a straight up land-fill of burning plastic, not only are half the posts just spammed for likes, 9/10 of them aren't even relevant to anything to do to with CoW anymore. "Its not that bad, It can't be!" If you were around back in the younger Forum days, you know very well what i mean. I am leaving the forum, besides to check my wall and write some HELPFUL stuff every so often, i will not interact with shit-posting and like spamming anymore, do not flood my wall with garbage either, please, as i would like to read stuff that matters, in any sense of being. Do not take this post out of context and say that i hate the new gen of Forum (Carking joining+), trust me i do, they suck, and think everything is based around rank and how many likes you have (Some aren't like this, lots of love to those people ), which is WHY i dislike them. But this isn't about me entirely, its about the Ebb and Flow of the Forum, lets look into some examples. The 4 RP posts with like 200 pages each. shit-posting like-fest. Go back a few years and those conversations were 50 Pages max and contained everything that all 4 of these ones did. A real dedicated RP conversation that didn't turn into shit-posting and garbage conversations. Now, i know y'all are gonna hate me in the comments, and that's fine, doesn't affect me. Lets look at perhaps another example... Now this one is absolutely horrible, mo lord. The election posts. Not only were the previous ones actually fruitful and contain legitimate info that i think is quite fine, and its good content, the new one was literally just an argument about the word French. That's it. Most mind-numbing post I've ever read, some people did good, and that's really good, they're getting somewhere, kudos to them for knowing the difference between garbage and quality content, and not arguing about the word French... French, is there something wrong with the French? Is this some kinda Racist thing? Not sure, but it kinda pisses me off how people censor a word that describes a group of people who are very real and very much alive, and not all are bad. "It's just a joke!" Don't joke about censoring a population of people. That shit is NOT funny, only bad people and racist's find that stuff funny.Now i don't go around saying Ame***ans like they're a filthy disease we shouldn't mention. Now, if you are all still with me and not yelling in chat for me to leave faster or threatening me, lets look at some Play-through posts, ah yes, this, THIS IS QUALITY, South Africa Play-through's, Aussie Play-through's, Mexico Play-through's, All good stuff, good job guys....Until a while after Carking and his gang joined and messed them up, turning them into 60 page conversations and flooding them with garbage. Still with me? Great! Lets go over WHY i'm making this post shall we?

Lets see.... Aha, yes, this morning someone instantly assumed that i was in a bad mood because i didn't get a spot in some silly HWW game 3 weeks ago that ended up turning into, what I've heard to be, kinda bad and not worth the gold. I won't name names, as that is not the point, the only person who should receive lash from this post is me, and i very well expect it. Not sure what to talk about now, but lets see what else i can pull from the land-fill, nope, not much else, I think I'm about done here, hanging up my hat and handing my salutations to those who deserve it, i might add more later if i feel like it, and i probably will, this is not about me entirely, no, its to show people how much has actually changed. And it saddens me to see this happen, but as a good man once said; "Change is Inevitable, bound by time itself to happen, so instead of trying to revert it, we should instead hope for the best, and expect the worst." - [REDACTED]

I knew the Forum would eventually change, but for the worst, I did not think it would be so. I'll gladly chat with anyone who would like to discuss anything, but my entire argument rests here, forevermore, and to the end. (Oh btw Carking i know you'll find this, you have responded to threads that are legitimately 3+ years old, you're bound to see this eventually, if it be in 5 minutes or 5 years, this isn't entirely on you, you could have changed what you chose to influenced and instead turned this place into a thriving, nice community with the activity you brought with you.)

You may still find me in the CoW Game chat, you may also send me CoW mail or DM me from the chat, i will respond within 3-5 business days.

This is your's truly;

Fox-Company, LTS Specialist.

And one more thing is that People are getting these huge ranks like General with no effort whatsover, back in the days this wasn’t common at all. How is this happening though.
Firstly, how does rank even matter?
No, they do not, but I'm trying to show all the spamming and like pact things here. They get those end ranks within weeks of joining which is uncommon.
I'm proud that I earned general fair and square, but to be fair, it is way more common now...

May I add my five cents...I was thinking about this.Yes the forum is for everyone regardless of rank, points, social popularity or who's the coolest.And I agree,it seems on the forum you can become high rank by liking posts and posting posts, even if it's not meaningful advice,forum activity can give you rank.I'm not complaining about players with good game ranks that knows their stuff that are high ranking forum members.I'm pointing out players that have high forum ranks but have low terrible game records.Chances are good that some people have good game records but have a low forum rank,only because they don't spend much time on the forum.

Most of the people I have encountered on the forum or must I say the regulars, have good high forum ranks and good game records.

I personally myself would feel stupid if I have a General of the Armies forum rank but I suck in the game with over a 100+ maps played with no victories.I'm not saying victories makes you the shite but it does contribute to your credibility as an experienced player.There's experienced forum members and there's experienced call of war players... some people are both, others are only one of the two.

For example there's a forum member that was chasing the rank of General of the Armies on the forum by liking posts left and right even if he disagreed with it, replying to posts, sometimes repeating the very same thing people posted and replying back by belittling other people.But his game record is pathetic.By the time this person will reach the rank of General of the Armies,he will be known as General of the Arseholes

Well, this is exactly what I've been saying for a long enough time, and even a few years ago people chased these forum ranks, they didn't still get it though, nowadays it is so easy. But how, what's different here?

I honestly don't know @Claudio NVKP I myself only have been on the forum for five months and I personally feel that I'm not "matured enough" to hold the candle with most of you guys here.I will get there eventually.

Maybe if Bytro could have some sort of forum rank/name revamp.What I mean is,if you registered on the game,that same game name must be your name on the forum with a similar "rank" on the forum/or the forum rank must progress the same as your game experience(I could maybe be wrong about this but I stand to be corrected).I can spend more time here on the forum than the game have a rank here but I'm still a noob in the game...?

Ingame rank doesn't really mean anything either; I'm pretty sure I'm a higher rank than 6thDragon ingame, but no way am I better than that dude. Likewise, I've beaten the 6th (I think?) highest globally ranked player easily.

18 Feb 2024, 14:15

High in-game rank just means that you've been playing for a long time. Sure you get experience from that, but if you were a nitwit before, you'll just be an experienced nitwit.

I remember facing some level 170 player USA player in HWW. Easily crushed them, I don’t even recall them being active. Don’t trust ranks. There are also people like Claudio who had to make a new account but are actually very good at the game.

Yeah indeed, when I was level 30 I defeated a level 120 guy who was at least, somewhat active. Rank doesn't matter much. Its easy to farm rank, just play euro map. Real skills are tested in difficult maps like speed or WaW.

Yes I like this.I agree.I also believe and feel if I want to prove my steel, I have to take on good players on a map like WAW, the big maps.But due to real life circumstances I won't be able to be active enough on those maps.However I know in the future my circumstances will change and I will participate in the real Call of War.

I still remember when I was still a newbie, joining doomsday map, and got to play as N. Mexico.

Luckily, I was in a coalition, but the thing is... Once the peace period in the game is over, Argentina, and his other ally who were around rank 100+, and I still remember clearly that Argentina has silver medal, while his other ally has the same gold medal as my rank now IIRC.

Both of Argentina, and his ally were nuking me at the same time... I was asleep at that time, and just woke up to a new level of horror... I mean, the hell? That's not even fair.

I still have my leftover nukes, and use them all to nuke both of them, and using every unit I have to fight them... I didn't really know what to do back then, so I call my allies for help, and out of 5 allies of mine... Only 1 of them helped me, despite it isn't much... It's enough to give me time to push them...

They were too strong, and none of my allies were at least in the same rank as them IIRC... I was relentless at fighting them since I'm determined to win this no matter how silly I am I was in the game...

Somehow, they slowly stop moving their armies, and go inactive once I made my progress? Which is a luck in my time back in my noob days.

I began to gobble both of them, and continue to advance despite the ally of mine who helped me through that hard time was inactive as well. I was left with 1 ally who does absolutely NOTHING!

I'm literally solo-ing all of N. America by myself, including Cuba, and able to rack up around 1k+ of VPs followed with 1m cash out of it.

My last ally only came to my aid when I asked him to do so... It was a very fun round ngl.

I wish I could keep the archive, so I can brag about it, lol... But in the end, yes... Rank doesn't always matter in the game.

I'm fine if people want to get high rank in the forum, even if they're noob in the game... As long as they don't post something offensive/annoying. There's nothing to be ashamed about it.

For me, you do you, and I do me.
