TES Classics » Discussions


Suggestion Box

  • January 5, 2016

    Guess who's back with more suggestions 

    First off I think that your Event names should be changed to better show that they're for Classics, having the same name as the Character Building Events can and has really thrown people off. So using Classics Event would probably work better.

    Secondly (still in the theme of Events) have you guys considered doing non-Building Events? Classics has the potential to run other (smaller) events for things like Roleplaying Profiles, Short Stories and Guides that most groups can't do, I think it'd be pretty cool to either open up events to a wider audience of have more smaller events that can bring in a crowd that might not be interested in the big Skyrim Event.

    This is a visual suggestion (simply because it's been awhile). But I think the front page and the archives look a little empty because of the current layout. Centering the text does make it very visible, but in my opinion it also just makes it look like there's more space. If say you set out the front page like this I think it'd look nice and full and also keep it easy to find information. (possibly as an 'unordered list' as Ning likes to say)

    The Archives  - This page is here for you to easily find BUILDS, GUIDES, RP: PROFILESand DISCUSSIONS

    The Help Page - Go here to ask questions about the group, mods or builds, roleplay, or just anything regarding the Classics.

    Suggestion Box - We would love to here some feedback on this group so don´t be afraid to tell us what you think.

    Let´s Guide Series - These discussions are here for you to share your experience and knowledge of Classics with other players.

    While I'm here, I've got some archiving suggestions as well (because we all know how much I love archiving.) I think Discussions could probably be moved around into more categories in the archives, to make it easier for people to find a discussion quicker. Perhaps separating the discussions into Lore Discussions, Gameplay Discussions, Mod Discussions (Such as the current Skywind Discussions) and Roleplay Discussions (thinks like the Great Houses Discussion) would work.

    Just thought I'd drop a few down now that it's been ages since I dropped a massive comment here

    Did you even look at the banner, it has Classics character building event on it 

  • January 5, 2016

    The name of the event as it appears in the Feed is just Character Building Event: Knights, which is kind of where most people will see it

    Well it's not my fault they don't read anything other than the name of the discussion 

  • January 5, 2016

    Meh, people are obviously so excited about creating a knight that pesky things like reading the group just aren't important...

    Huh, maybe I should change it so the GGB Events are just Character Building, get in all kinds of people just wanting a Skyrim Event

    Well it would certainly bring in activity

    Name of the Event is fixed, Front Page is improved.

    As for Events for anything other than Building, it certainly is something to consider, though to be honest I was thinking about it for some time and...well, I myself don´t find doing Event for Profiles or Guides that interesting. As for Short Stories, that goes more into Tamriel Tales and I already discussed that with Sotek. While we cover everything Classic, they cover the stories of TES. So if there should be an event for Classic Stories, it would happen in Tamriel Tales, with TES Classics giving it a feature on Front Page. Don´t worry, I got this one covered.

    As for distuinguishing discussions...this one is kinda tough. Most of the discussions we had covered half of the list. Lore should go into Lore group, so that we can remove by now (yet we venture into the Apocrypha many times when we have a discussion, especially when me, Goldie and Phil find each other there)

    For Mod Discussion..that gives me idea. Might be better to create one big Mod Discussion/Recommendation where all talk about mods would happen (besides people´s personal list of mods, like mine)

    So that leaves only Gameplay and Roleplay discussion and those are very rare mate. For gameplay things, we usually use the Help Page, sometimes for Roleplay too.

    I´ll run it through Kael and we´ll see what will we be able to come up with.

    Thanks for your suggestions.

    I´ll think about. It´s true it would be great to make this more visible. We could give it some spotlight on the front page for some time, maybe.

    It defiantly would be a great resource for people who are starting or replaying oblivion and want cool armor.
