Kaldurenik: I have to agree with the "crazy" people that say "they did it knowingly and they are not going to put the forum up for quiet a while". Why? Because they hope the largest shit storm will have passed by the time they decide to put the forum up.
I'm all for conspiracy theories, but any argument that's predicated on a company knowingly making a bunch of potentially reputation-shattering moves for the sake of something so trivial as avoiding online criticism seems too elaborate to ever be true, especially given the players in this case. All of this screams "someone screwed up" more than "evil plot to avoid taking flak" to me.

Occam's razor would suggest that someone tripped over a cord and reset their shit (not literally).

Yeah, so instead of funneling the shit storm into an environment designed to compartmentalize different concerns and handle them, they instead shuffled said storm to a single board, on the *same site they were actually making sales of the game on*, because negative comments are always much less damaging when attached to the actual storefront.

Yup. Reeks of a deliberate move to me. What diabolical move will they plan next?

Because they hope the largest shit storm will have passed by the time they decide to put the forum up. Except... People are saving themself just for the moment when the forum go up.

Not only did they not keep the old forum up or the old database (how stupid is that?) but they are overall ignoring the community. The lack of information and stuff from them is pathetic. Their website is still not even working correctly (the new one) and it have been quiet a while now. Note: These guys know what they are doing. I could fix most of the issues there and im only "okey" at it. So there is no way it can take this much time unless they want the forum to be down.

Lets not forget that this is a BAD thing. Not only do people not have any location to talk about their problems with the game so its spread across most of the large gaming forums no the net. But it looks bad when people write "Can someone help me fix TW2" ... On a forum not related to TW2 because the company decided to be asses?

Meh its just the same information put in another way over and over again. They might as well have used a bot for it. Have they not said for like 10 days now that the forum would be up? The login stuff is still not working. Honestly as of right now if they gave the website to first year students in webdesign i would have more faith in them getting the website up then the group they have right now.

They are doing one of these 3 things:

1) Designing the website right now. In that case... They should fire that guy for being a idiot.

2) There was some major bugs that came up just as they put the website up. In this case they are still retards and they should fire whoever the guy that said "well lets close down the old forum / database while we do this as no one have ever had a website problem before"

3) They are turning the forum on knowingly.


So far im not impressed with how they handle the situation. The first thing they should have done when they noticed that the website is not working correctly should have been. *gasp* revert it back to the original website. Ignoring the stupid thing where they did not leave that as a backup in the first place.
Another day, same old ****. Come on really. Are things so bad at their end. Feels like every day we are told the forums are going up and DLC will be working. Really is no way for a major games company or any company to behave. In this day and age forums are a life line between customer and company. If the GOG forums weren't here were would we all be at this moment looking for answers?

You can throw all the free crap you want at people. You don't do it to be altruistic, no company does.

I have to admit, that at this point I am getting skeptical as well.

that's what people don't seem to get...Cd projekt red is not a major game company....they are small, they worked really hard to make this game...you guys make it look like they are not working, when these people are probably making 16 hours shift each day to make everything right for us.

You guys just need to relax, it will come eventually.

What the hell could have gone wrong so badly? Why didn't hey reload the old forums as backup? Sheesh.

yeah, that's an error on their part that's for sure.
If I were to guess, Maybe they are/were trying to create an integrated site so a customers games and such could be tracked similar to BW. That would explain the challenges and it being tied so closely to the dlc's. No clue but, it sounded plausible to me when I started typing this. Hopefully, we'll see some sort of official forums soon. Be nice to have some segregated topics like the old forums had. Help people avoid spoilers, find mods and all of the usual discourse.

http://www.linkedin.com/company/cd-projekt-red it seems they have at least 70 employees from their 2008 profile (probably more now), I m sure one of them can work on a forum.

Are you seriously saying that the guys who develope the games are the same ones who manage/program the web site?
