Pulling posts off the blog.

[Archived Post]

Can CO please stop pulling posts off the blog? It's just bad practice to put up stories, news, and posts only to take them back down.

Everytime I go to the front page, something else has been pulled down.

Would love to know the reason why?

Not sure what you're talking about. If you're talking about the "Server Maintenance" posts, we always take those down after a few hours since the maintenance has been completed. It clutters up the front page.

Then add a separate spot at the bottom/top for service messages.

Also, fix the loading I'm having.

Honestly dude, what the hell is wrong with taking 10 seconds to delete a "Maintenance happened" post that becomes useless within 5 minutes of completion rather than making another waste of space? Are you that anal retentive that you have to know EVERYTHING that goes on?

I don't see anyone being anal retentive, but showing past service announcements would be handy for multiple reasons. Such as to catch you up to date on if there were changes to made to the game in case you suddenyl gain and error or bug on your system, so you cna better decide which update had something to do with it. Or to generally keep you up to date on if/when the server went up or down.

Basic information is basic.

Kind of like a patch notes page?

[Archived Post]

Cept patch notes page doesn't necessarily cover everytime there are patches. It only covers the major patches, and usually not patch fix's.

Plus, it would make it so other announcements didn't push away service announcements. And they don't have to be in depth announcements. They can just be more like notices.

Like this.

(Tossed it together, sorry it's not perfect but it's just meant as an example.)

Or one could simply go to the patch notes page.

Yes, because it's useful for everyone to know that the server went down at 7:43AM PST 6 days ago.

Basic information is basic.

Obvious information is obvious, and useless information is useless.

Aaand I just replied to this with further details on why it would be useful so. /shrugs

:rolleyes:

And yes, because much like today's (Yesterdays) patch, (especially with this game) issues arise. Like the game begins to lag or run incorrectly on certain PC's for whatever reason. It serves as a means to look back (Especially if you haven't played in a few days) and say "These patches were released during the time frame I was away, and now my client is not running properly."

It doesn't need to stay on the front page and spam away all the information that is actually important. I would hate to see a million "Server down! Server up! Server down! Server up!"s cluttering the front and miss cool info about blood moon.

If you really want to know everything, there's a news network forum. They don't take those posts away. You can read about server outages there without them cluttering up the front.

... and breaks your RSS feed when you put something up and then edit it or remove it.

I wasn't trying to be 'nasty' or anything, I just spot posts at work and try to get to them when I get home, and they're gone. I try to to keep my focus on work at work, and when I click stories related to maintenance in the launch they go to a 404.

On top of that, I have seen lore posts disappear and come back. Same with reviews and other news. It's not just maintenance. It's almost like the blog is being rolled back and some items just slip through the cracks.

As far as the aesthetics. Categorize the posts and leave them in the feed. I would rather see the activity than come to a blog that doesn't look like it's been updated in a day or two.
