Necromancy cult on the forums?

    I wanted to create a thread asking about the pros and cons of spell damage and spell critical so I can finally put an end to my constant flipping of mundus stones on my sorcerer, I'm not sure if this is a good thing or a bad thing. I'm brand new btw.

    Then go ahead and do it. Unless you see a thread on the front page. Though, you might want to check over on the players helping players board as well, before you do.

    It beats necroing a thread from 2014.

    You know for someone that's a full-time forumgoer you'd think you'd be more understanding of how reviving old threads is basically tro-

    Oh. Right...

    I have been with this game since beta....I only have 3 stars on the forum.....how do you get stars?
    Beats me...

    It's somehow based on badges and/or insightfuls/agrees/awesomes and/or post/thread count. But I have no freaking clue about any of the details of how it's actually calculated.

    I guess you answered my question on how high the stars can go, at least from the perspective of what is the most I have seen. Makes my 6 stars look insignificant. I am a CP 10 forum warrior meeting a CP 180.

    I doubt necromancy gets added for Sorcs unless they add skill lines to the other classes.

    I left the forums for a couple of months (just because work was way too busy), and when I left I had 5 stars, which was the forum cap. I came back and was surprised to find they raised the cap and I was at 10 lol.

    4 more levels to go for me! I need to start saying agreeable, awesome, or insightful things, instead of the random nonsense that I usually say.

    Necromancy could be a fun skill line, giving you options for raising dead enemies to have in place of sorc summonings but it might be an either zombie or Clannfear limit to keep people from running with 4 fighting pets.

    Could just be new (ish) members using the search function - perhaps not even aware of the date they were posted. 3 stars is still a bit of a climb so I doubt they're going to waste their time just to troll months later :lol:

    I actually checked the join date of 1 of the people that made a recent necro post and it was August last year. Some of them may be new but I'm pretty sure most of them have been around for a good while but just not done much here.
    Do you feel the same way about useless threads and posts Joe?

    You're aware that makes no sense right? Perhaps you should wake up so your trolling makes more sense eh? :p

    I believe he was asking if you also think that useless threads should be locked or something to prevent them from continuing, like how you (at least I think it was you, I could be wrong though) similarly said that maybe threads should be locked when they reach a certain age/level of inactivity in order to prevent necroposting.

    Yeah it was me as it's the suggested solution I made in the OP of this thread. As for the question, if it is truly useless Zenimax would lock it anyway. Personally though, I'm one of the people that feels we need an Off Topic forum, but will never get one :(

    Because they want us to be "constructive" with every thread, and if it's off topic it's not constructive.

    Well to quote Abridged Kami: "You should do what feels natural". Let's face it; all of us are goofballs in our own little way, and that's why we want an off-topic forum to hang out in :p

    For the sake of keeping this thread on topic though: The above statement by me does not include necroing threads lol

    What's the matter are we out of nerf threads and have to create one on necro threads to get posts?
    Most forums encourage new users to use the search function rather than creating a thousand threads on the same subject.
    But then there is this strange forum. lmao

    Search is good, but the info may be outdated and therefore useless. Therefore, they discourage necroing and encourage making new threads if the topic isn't presently being discussed already.

    But most post are on the same tired subjects like nerf RD etc.
    And many bugs that have not been fixed since launch.
    All that has to be said is that the subject has been fixed or change and move on and the thread will sink or maybe new relevant discussion will happen.
    I never mod my Rockstar based websites that way.

    For the record though, this issue is still present.

    I do agree that the silly star count is absolutely irrelevant. In a few months my 3 year badge will also be irrelevant. The only thing that is would be the context of a statement. The psuedo elitism with a dash of entitlement because one has accrued more cheesements in the forum games content is absurd.

    Actually it's not really as irrelevant as one may think. Less stars means less activity which means they have less to lose from getting banned.

    well not always i was banned in late 2014 because a post imade went into privates with a very nasty forum moderator. i had to show zos customer service the repsonse from the mod he sent to my Email account. he then had his moderator removed and i was reinstated. I think i had to re make my forum account to.

    But the necromancer is 5 stars! Must be their leader or at least a higher up, after all everyone else was 3 stars or less.
