    @Eviatar10 You say "Don't get me wrong pal" and "I want to remind you man that you still appreciate your work guys and i believe you do your best" but from others perspectives, some may find the tone of your post to be a little confrontational. I'm talking about stuff like: "this Method of you guys , is that look normal to you pal ?" is meant as a theoretical question and insinuates that since its our "method" we do it on purpose and that's not a normal thing to do. You responded to @Luki for linking all those dates of other games that you claim you dont care for, so why did you ask "Have you ever seen a game , promised to release a month after a month and consistently and repeatedly fails its fans down?" if you didn't want an answer? Seems like another theoretical question for which you purport to know the answer of, and when someone actually gives you evidence and answer to your questions, you respond negatively to that. General things like "Dont take me for a fool" has very negative connotations and also abit accusatory and confrontational like I mentioned. If you "dont think they fooled us with dates" why in your original post you said "stop making false dates"?
    Overall of course in regards to the forum rules you are not breaking any, and accordingly no official action was taken, but that doesnt mean that people will not see or feel the negativity in your post and downvote or upvote based on their own opinions or beliefs of how the upvote and downvote system should be used. And thats how the system is designed. Overall, the content you shared in your post has a good sentiment to it, and in the end we did listen to that, but you could have carried the message in a better way.

    Thats what i can add to this.
    I read your post several times in a row... and it has always the same negative connotation.

    As u said now, we probably didnt " understood " your message u want to tell.
    But for me and for some others your post sounds like a " Shoot " against the develope team and as that i take that and understood it.

    It´s ok if u say u dont mean it like this... But dont tell us, we have to grow up or whatever, when u obviously can´t spread your message like it is supposed to be.
    Your post is clearly negative to understand and if the majority of the community understood it like that.. Maybe just maybe consider that u probably didnt use a well choiced language to communicate your impression/feelings/oppinion.

    Just ask yourself the question why your post has such a negative response. It isent only the readers " Fault "

    Useful forum features
    I've been thinking about making a forum guide for quite a while since I get a lot of questions about where certain features are. Instead of making a guide with all the basics in it, I thought I would rather just mention useful forum features that members aren't able to find that easily and mention some features you might not even know exist. The features mentioned in this thread will be based on the questions that I have gotten from members and from your guys' suggestions, so be sure to suggest if I should add a feature! Some of these features might be obvious to you, but not to others.
    Summary:
    1. How do I add pictures to my posts ?
    2. Where do I change my signature ?
    3. How can I easily resize my picture ?
    4. How can I make a link that redirects people to a specific post ?
    5. How can I report a post ?
    6. Where can I see some forum statistics ?
    7. Where can I see a list of staff members ?
    8. How can I see a list of all the posts made in the forum ?
    9. Where can I donate ?
    10. How can I link someones profile ?
    11. What are notifications ? How do I turn notifications off ?
    12. Thread notification symbols
    13. Ability to toggle chat sound notification
    14. How do I quote and  multiquote members ?
    15. How do I make a hyperlink ?
    16. How do I get reputation ?
    17. Is there a way to easily mention someone in the chat ?
     
     
    1. How do I add pictures to my posts ?
    There are a couple of different ways to add pictures to your posts. You can either click on "choose files..." and select a file, you can drag the files into the dark grey section under your post (marked with green), you can click on "insert other media"  and insert a link of your picture or you can add pictures from your existing attachments. 
     
    2. Where do I change my signature ? 
    Go to the main forum page and look at the top right corner of the page. You will see your profile picture and name, which has an arrow pointing down. Whenever you click on your name or arrow, the small window shown in the picture below (left one) will open. Go to Account Settings.
    Once you are in your Account Settings, you will be able to see an Overview of your account settings, change your Email Address and Password and also edit your signature. Once you click on Signature, this is what you will see (right picture). You are now able to make your own signature and also disable signatures by clicking on the green rectangle. I would like to remind you that the size of your signature may not be bigger than 600x150 pixels.

     
    3. How can I easily resize my picture ?
    Whenever you double click on a picture while editing or writing your post, you are able to resize it. A window shown in the picture below will appear. You can resize it by changing the the width (left number) and/or height (right number). Whenever you change one of these 2 values, the other value will automatically change accordingly. This is to keep the aspect ratio of the picture the same and to prevent distorting your picture. You are also able to edit some other things about your picture. Click on "Update" once you are done.

     
    4. How can I make a link that redirects people to a specific post ?
    Instead of copying the link at the top of the screen, you must go to the post you want to link and click on the small share symbol which is in the top right corner of the post. Simply click on the share button and copy the link that will show up.

     
    5. How can I report a post ?
    Sometimes I get this question, although the answer is very simple. At the top of the members' post there is a "Report post" button. After you click on it, you are able to write the reasoning behind your report. You are only able to report status updates and posts, no profiles.

     
    6. Where can I see some forum statistics ?
    At the bottom of the main forum page there are some forum statistics. These statistics include: most people online at once, total amount of posts and threads, members who are currently online, total amount of members registered and more...

     
    7. Where can I see a list of staff members ?
    8. How can I see a list of all the posts made in the forum ?
    Go to the main forum page and check the navigation bar at the top. You should see a "More" button. Click on that and a small window will appear, as shown in the picture below. By clicking on  "All Activity" you will be able to see all the posts ever made in this forum.
    You can click on "Staff" to see all the staff members. These staff members have certain coloured ranks that identifies them. That a look at the right picture, there you can see all the different colours. Check the Global Forum Rules for a description of the 4 different roles. Furthermore, there are also members with a Beta Player Badge and Skylord of Honour Badge. They are not part of the BFReborn team.
    If you want to learn more about the staff members check this thread where they introduce themselves.
             
     
    9. Where can I donate ?
    You can donate by going to the main forum page (Outdated)
    10. How can I link someones profile ?
    You can "mention" people by making a link to their profile. You do this by simply writing @ and then their name, no spaces in between. After writing the persons name, or just part of it, a small window will appear with their profile picture and name. You then click on his/her name on the window that appeared and your link should turn blue: this means it is working and whenever people click on that they will be redirected to the persons profile. Example: @ladadoos

     
    11. What are notifications? How do I turn notifications off ?
    Whenever someone mentions you, quotes you, replies to your thread, gives you reputation, follows you and more, you get a notification. You can check if you have any notifications by going to the main forum page and going to the top right corner of the page. There, you will see a globe. Once you receive any notifications, a number will appear next to the globe. That number represents the amount of notifications you have.
    You might want to turn these notifications off. To do that, you simply have to go to your "Account Settings" at the top right corner of the main forum page. Then you click on the 'Notification Settings'. There, you are able to customize from what you get notified, as well as some more other settings.

     
    12. Thread notification symbols
    I'm sure you've looked at threads and wondered what all those symbols mean, why sometimes the tittles are bolded and more... I will explain what it all means.
    Grey star (marked blue): This grey star indicates that this is a thread you've posted in before. Bolded star (marked green): This bolded star tells you, in combination with a bolded tittle, that this is a thread you've posted in before and that someone else posted something in the thread that you still haven't read. In this case it was @Ultrakool who just posted something I still haven't read, 1 minute ago. Bolded circle (marked red): This bolded circle tells you, in combination with a bolded tittle, that this is a thread you've not posted in before and that someone else posted something in that thread that you still haven't read ( or it's a new thread ). Whenever you read it, the circle goes away, as seen by the Donators - Thanks list! thread for example. Bolded tittle (marked yellow): This bolded tittle tells you, in combination with a bolded symbol (circle or star) that someone has posted something in that thread that you still haven't read. Pin in a green square (marked white): This pin indicates that this thread is pinned: As long as it is pinned, It will always show up on top of the threads list. This is to make important threads more easily accessible for members. If there are multiple threads pinned, their position in the list depends on the amount of replies the thread has. This exact thread is pinned. Star in a green square (marked purple): This star means that this thread is featured. That basically means that it is recommended by the staff members. Tags (marked pink): The creator of a thread is able to tag his own threads so that other members can use the tag search function to find his thread. Page numbers (marked brown): This tells you how many pages the thread has.
     
    13. Ability to toggle chat sound notification
    This is a rather short one, but you are able to toggle chat sound notification on and off. When the chat notification sound is on, you will hear a sound everytime someone sends a new message. The button is located in the top right corner of the chat, as shown in the picture.

     
    14. How do I quote and multiquote members ?
    Members very frequently use the quote system to let someone know that his post is meant for that person specifically, it can make discussions much clearer to read and follow. To quote a member, you need to click on the "Quote" button (marked red). This will automatically start a post with his comment quoted in it. You are able to change the quoted text by simply clicking on it and changing it. The person you quoted will receive a notification (if he didn't disable quote notifications) notifying him that you quoted him.
    You are also able to quote multiple people at once. To multiquote you need to go to the members' post and click on the " + " symbol (marked dark blue) in the bottom left of his post. Whenever you've quoted someone using the multiquote function, a small window (marked light blue) will appear in the bottom left corner of your screen and the " + " symbol will turn into a check mark (marked green), letting you know that this post has been added in your multiquote. To start writing your post, you simply click on the "Quote 1 post" button in the small window (marked light blue). The number in that button represents the amount of threads you have quoted.

     
    15. How do I make a hyperlink ?
    Whenever you are writing a post, you have the ability to use the formatting tools that are located at the top of the post you're writing. The formatting tools are marked green. One of these tools enables you to basically combine text with a link. To do that, you must click on the symbol that is marked red in the picture below. Whenever you click on it, a window called "Link" will appear. The only thing you have to do is paste your link under "URL" and write your link text under "Link text".
    Example: This is my link: http://forum.bfreborn.com/ and this is my text: Battleforge Reborn Forums. By using this tool I can turn those 2 into the following hyperlink: Battleforge Reborn Forums

     
    16. How do I get reputation ?
    This one is very simple. You get reputation by other people either giving your posts/status updates a like or a dislike. As you would imagine, getting a like would increase your reputation by 1 and with a dislike it would decrease by 1. You can like posts by clicking on the small green box (marked green) or dislike them by clicking on the small red box (marked red). You are always able to remove a reputation you gave, by clicking on the dislike button after giving a like.
     

     
    17. Is there a way to easily mention someone in the chat ?
    Of course there is, that's why this is in my guide. While in the chat, you can simply click on a player's name (not the profile picture!) to mention him (marked green). So instead of writing @kestas3 you can simply click on his name in the chat (he must have written something in the chat), and it will automatically write @kestas3. This way he knows you are talking to him. Very handy!

    I hope you have learned something from this. Feel free to suggest any features that I should add.

  8. Ultrakool liked a post in a topic by Kaliber84 in Faction symbols   
    I am currently working on a brand new logo for the community channel.
    For that I want to incorporate symbols of every (playable) faction. While I would've thought that there are existing symbols I can't find any.
    So in short now I need new symbols for every faction and I am asking everyone in the community for ideas, advice or even sketches. If you have any suggestions please let me know and I will see if I can use them.
    The symbols should be simple, intuitive and representative of the faction. Ideally anyone would be able to draw a symbol in a couple of seconds. And even without color someone else could recognize the faction it represents.
    For example a 7-pointed start enclosed in a circle would probably be recognized as and is easy to draw.
    But a spiral might not be recognized as even though it is a common motive in many nature cards.
    Thanks for any and all input!

    You can disagree without getting vulgar and disrespectful. He called devs statements ,,bullshit excuses'' and tells them what to do. How is that not inflammatory? If somebody gets a red rep from me it's not because of him disagreeing with me or somebody else, it's because he lacks manners or respect.
  16. fiki574 liked a post in a topic by Ultrakool in [Kubik Server]1- Duplicate or sometimes triplicate boosters upon buying.   
    I see, that might be confusing to some players though because it seems it triggers after buying. I tried to switch to tab, then to boosters and it still showed I opened all my booster.
    Will take another look at it when I get home
  17. Ultrakool liked a post in a topic by fiki574 in [Kubik Server]1- Duplicate or sometimes triplicate boosters upon buying.   
    That's flood protector doing its job - preventing too fast booster buying and opening. You are not duplicating nor triplicating anything, you're just getting an error packet which contains no boosters and then you trigger the refresh with some action like shop or inventory opening, which resyncs your booster collection. The booster amount at any time is the same.

    Hi devs and all others,
     
    Back in the days, I loved to play BattleForge with my wife. I am absolutely thrilled that a group of people wants to bring back this game for us, for free. And then I see a forum where other people take their time to post words or disappointment and fury. This made me join this forum and post my first forum post here.
    Dear awesome developers. You are the best, and everybody here should be thankful for your dedication, hard work and countless hours of free time that you sacrifice for the community. Take all the time you need, make this project your masterpiece, and please don't listen to negative feedback on the "release schedule". This is a free project, nobody should expect ANYTHING from you. If you said in the past that you will provide free software filled with fun and joy on date X, and then on date X, you did not (because of reasons), then nobody should be hurt or angry. Nobody lost anything - we just didn't get free stuff (yet)!
    Software development is an uncontrollable beast. Even in huge companies with dozens of people, deadlines are missed all the time. You made the right choice - don't rush anything, and the result will be so much better. If you can keep the community updated on the process, we appreciate it.
    And then, some glorious day, I will finally build a Worldbreaker Gun again, put a Skyelf Sage next to it, aim, and press the button. And hear one of the most satisfying "BOOM" sounds in game history. It will be my salute to you.
    I can wait. It is worth it.
    Regards,
    Thomas

    @CocofangI agree completely. Being full of hype like what you said functions similar to a burnout situation. Like do you know that scenario that you work so hard for hours everyday and then one day your mind just shuts down? It’s similar: you get d up way too much then when it doesn’t actually turn out how it was promised/expected, you shut down and some do it in different ways than others. Some just leaves, some loses hope, some are dissapointed but still hopeful, some people get angry. Of course we are blamed to the extent that we created that expectation, and we failed to deliver on that.
    Due to that, we have made this thread for the goal to try to alleviate any anger you may feel by trying to explain and apologize, even though we realize we can’t really cancel out the dissapointment. And to perhaps convince you that there is still hope, we haven’t given up on this project at all, the opposite is true, we have however managed deadlines badly.
    Exactly that is one of the reasons why we have been lenient with people venting within reason, but not to the extent that they severely insult or offend. 
    In any case, we realize the exigent circumstances in which people may lash out, and we do keep in mind that in other situations you might have very well been our biggest supporter or fan!
    As a final word, I would like to say that we can understand any dissapointment, feeling of hopelessness and even anger and we are here to address and to attemp to further alleviate any further ill feelings whatsoever you may have.
