Apex is becoming terrible
First off this rank spilt crap is worthless. After every time it start lagging so badly. I’ve lost so much RP because of this. If they quit focusing on trying to make money and make the game actually playable. It’d be enjoyable. Just because the pros are crying doesn’t mean we all are. Just do better EA. I’m tired of not just being able to play a normal game with having some stupid fixable issue….Feedback on the Bug Forum needed
- Main Bug Collecting is still done at AHQ - Hi everyone, I've spend the last couple days cleaning up the bug forum and now I'm interested to hear what you think of it. I don't want to go into details on how I think it should work. I want to hear how it feels to someone who newly ventures into the bug forum or tries to report something. Cade did make a post here: General Information About The Bug Reports Forum | EA Forums - 4965007 to give some general info and of course it has all the downsides this forum generally has but I'm interested in the special features the bug forum here work out for you. The main differences currently are: There's no template, tags are used instead A bug has a status by which you can filter. There's upvotes instead of me toos (upvotes are not likes, they work like the me toos to show how wide-spread the issues are) What do you think of the bug forum here ? What do you feel is missing ? What is unclear ? I'm specifically interested in these question: How does the flow of the bug forum feel to you ? Do you understand what status a bug is currently in and what they generally mean? If you reported something and it was closed down, do you know why it was closed down and what to do next to get help/see that your issue is reported properly ? How does the sorting in this particular forum feel to you ? Do you understand which tags to put for your particular issue ? Do you easily re-find your post know when you've gotten an answer ?
Discussions aren't organized by 'most recent'
Recent discussions have become sort of disorganized with recently commented threads being buried under older threads. Trying to look for specific discussions in TS4 General Discussion or Creative Corner is becoming difficult as they aren't being bumped up to the top as usual. I thought it was just my laptop, but it occurs across my phone as well. Example below:
Opinion on New Forums
It may just be unpopular opinion, but I find these new forums to be painstakingly difficult to read ,(text is tiny, and colors are blinding), follow thread, my hand hurts from scrolling through hundreds of post I already read since day one to get to current. Newest somehow works but requires a lot waiting of leg work too. Is it just me. Have I been put on a delay? It wont let me post to threads all the time for just no good reason. Notifications are not as clear and prompt as last forum. While I think it may need kinks worked out, I myself may have to take to another forum. I may check in periodically to see if they have improved it, but for now, I can't. Let me know is anyone if experiencing the same or if it's just me.
Forum Posts won't Post
I just typed out a beautiful forum post with great embedded links to cc and mods I use and it won't officially post. I can't see it in my recents, and when I share the link to friends, they can't see it either. I even tried commenting on it but it won't work. Is there some sort of approval process on long posts with links that I'm not aware of? I get it's good for safety reasons but that's super annoying and not at all how the old forum functioned. This new forum is the worst. i want to go back to the original one with the green background that was easy to navigate and had great subcategories. Everything here is so disorganized and chaotic.
Forums account created
I got email today: Hi cmkrc3vtvm86, Due to your contributions in EA Forums, you have earned a new rank! Thank you for your participation in the community. Your EA Forums Team My account profile says I joined 3 hours ago at the time of this post. I haven't created this account myself because my name cmkrc3vtvm86 is so random. I play swogh and have created one ea forums acoount before using the same email this account uses but It cannot be this because I created that multiple years ago. I have also used the swogh online shop which requires email to log in. Any idea how did this happen?
Questions About Too Many Posts
I keep getting the messages "Content Not Published" and "You’ve exceeded the maximum number of posts you can publish. Try again later." when I try to publish a post. What exactly is the definition of a maximum number of posts? Are there so many posts in an hour, a day, a week? How long must I wait from my first failed attempt to try again? Can I reach a member level that allows me to make more posts than I have currently exceeded? Can I even post in the Technical Discussion if I have been shackled in the other areas of The Sims 3 forum?Yes. When can I expect to be able to post again? I would appreciate some clarification on the rules for this restriction. My recent posts: What happened in your Sims 3 game today? - 1 post - 10 hours ago - 1 reply to Silverofdreams - 10 hours ago - 1 reply to Emorril's reply to my post above - 10 hours ago - 1 post about Alryne Valley Ultimate - 3 days ago The Sims 3 Creative Corner An Apology - 1 discussion - 7 hours ago Marsden Farm Challenge - 2 posts - 9 hours ago Precious Joy Forsythe Legacy Challenge - 1 post - 9 hours ago Alryne Valley Ultimate - 10 posts for homes I created - 3 days ago To my knowledge, that is only 8 posts within three hours. I don't find that to be excessive. However, I did do many minor edits of existing posts under both Marden and Forsythe posts. Is this a factor? Thanks! ~texansky- p.s. None of the tags were an accurate selection for the issue I have. You should add a tag for Forum Issues.
Forums practically unusable
I've been an EA customer for... well, I became an EA customer when they bought Maxis. It's been a while. I've never felt the need to use the forums before Veilguard dropped, so while I'm old to EA I'm new to these forums... which exhibit some very strange behavior. Like, I was in a Veilguard forum and looked at related posts only to find myself suddenly reading a guild invite for a Star Trek themed game. etc. etc. I read the new forum info post about many of these outstanding issues, but I wanted to highlight the importance of fixing them for all users, but also on a personal level I'm autistic and sometimes find communicating in places like forums difficult at the best of times (this applies to me. I'm not speaking for everyone with autism). In the past 48 hours since I registered (maybe even less?), trying to navigate the site has been extremely frustrating. Buttons don't work at all, or links lead to unexpected places... and I have to keep reminding myself I need to double-check everything to make sure I'm even in the relevant game, much less the relevant topic. This must be very frustrating for all concerned and I know EA is working on it. But EA's support outside these forums is pretty much non-existent as far as I can tell. Which means forums that grow overly confusing and impossible to navigate without a huge sense of frustration and confusion border on an actual accessibility issue for certain groups of people. It would be great if BioWare would consider prioritizing fixing these forums as such, especially with a major release just dropped that seems to be inspiring a good deal of conversation, including technical issue resolution and the like.
This Forum Sucks.
All I freaking want is to look up “The Sims 4 Legacy Challenges” and find a list of all the challenges that have been created!! I’ll find the list on here one time and then lose it the next time I look for it on this website. Even when I do find the list of challenges and click on what I want, it doesn’t even take me to a blog or website with the details it just loops me back to the same stupid EA Forums page. I hate it!!!!! Does anyone know of an easy way to simply find the post I’m talking about?Suggestion - Profile Pictures/Avatars from Older EA Games
I would like to suggest incorporating profile pictures or avatars from older EA games into the EA Forums platform once it fully launches. This small addition could significantly enhance the overall experience, particularly for longtime fans of EA games. For example, Answers HQ has a diverse selection of avatars but primarily focuses on newer titles. As a member of the Battlefield community, I believe it would be fantastic to have avatars from older games like Battlefield 2 and Battlefield 3 available (this can be said for older NFS tittles as well). While I understand that this may not be a current priority, I feel that this minor enhancement could provide a valuable touch of nostalgia and comfort for many users. I believe it could be implemented easily and would be widely appreciated. I would truly like to hear what others think about the suggestion.
