KunoMochi Posted November 1, 2015 Share Posted November 1, 2015 In response to post #29900255. Though I see that things run well on this site I also see that at times things are not so clear. If your ad for a focus group had been as clear as your multiple Thank YOU's had been Paul, I guess there would have been many more members who would have felt included. Almost feels like subliminal messaging which for the few...Got It!But on the otherhand I appreciate all the hard work that goes into making this into a very special site as I also have had my own site in the past and know well how difficult it is to please all. Carry on and have fun.... I feel that it is better that way. For the people that sent messages pertaining the Focus Group, they have shown that they have a perceptive eye for detail and are willing to take the time to do so. Testing isn't just about using something until it breaks, it means being able to help pinpoint a problem with the devs. Even better if the tester is willing to go out of the way to help try different scenarios and test cases in order to see what works and what doesn't. Regardless, this 25-person Focus Group is only an initial phase. From Paul's post about the redesign, the Focus Group will probably get bigger later on to allow more people to test.

They've been working on that project for years. That very same team working on Skywind is also working on Skyblivion, which is Oblivion ported over to the Skyrim engine like Skywind is Morrowind ported over to the Skyrim engine. It will be years before said projects are done. Beyond Skyrim has been under construction for nearly 6 years & will likely not be released for several more years. Beyond Skyrim: Bruma was supposed to be out by Summer 2014 & has yet to have an announced release date. I seriously doubt that will be released anytime soon either. By the time any of these mods are released TESVI will have already been announced or released. I just hope Bethesda doesn't botch the launch of FO4 like they did Skyrim on PS3. I'm a former PS3 owner of Skyrim & made the switch to the PC version going on 4 years ago due to all the horrific issues the PS3 version is stuck with. Never again will I buy a Bethesda title on console after what I had to deal with on the PS3 version of Skyrim. Regardless, TESVI will no doubt be released before Skywind, Skyblivion, or Beyond Skyrim due to the sheer size/scope of those mods. I give it a max of 2 years before TESVI is announced &/or released.

I give it a max of 2 years before TESVI is announced &/or released.I also misspell and Poorly punctuate... Image result for ellipseswww.charbase.comEllipsis (plural ellipses; from the Ancient Greek: ????????, élleipsis, "omission" or "falling short") is a series of dots (typically three, such as "…") that usually indicates an intentional omission of a word, sentence, or whole section from a text without altering its original meaning. Given that the purpose of ellipses is to mark an omission...or to imply a pause for emphasis...It then is used most appropriately for one who is too lazy to punctuate and spell correctly. My excess is proof that I am far more lazy than most. Pointing to it over the content of my comment though exposes a desire to ignore everything except the ellipses.

If one is lazy about simple things when using the written word to communicate, others tend to think one is lazy about everything. Like spending the time to understand and address complex issues. Your post (even stripped of the ellipses) demonstrates such laziness. You have been a member here for less than 10 months. Dark0ne has been running the Nexus for over 15 years. Nothing in your post gives any credibility to the notion that you know better than the site owner whether or not it is a good idea to solicit feedback from a small group of users as a step toward determining possible design changes.

You assume that typing is a simple matter...you don't actually know that though. You believe it is simple for you and that's all the mental effort you'll apply...I won't waste my time in an attempt to excuse through disability what I've already conceded as laziness.Good catch though,deducing what was openly admitted. The Issue of choosing a focus group is fairly simple... Base selection on what you hope to gain from the group and what combination of people/experience would best accomplish that goal...state the qualifiers you value and choose from the respondents... Nothing I said was meant to, nor should it have been inferred to mean that Robin had anything to do with the Focus group selection...Paul was chosen to manage aspects of the Nexus operation so Robin would then be free'd up to actually have a life and opportunity for Holiday with his mates instead of minding the fallout from Gabe/VALVE's next misadventure and misjudgement. This is not Robin who posted here....Paul is who I offered response to and it is HE who I essentially said...' What do you need a focus group for anyway...trust your judgement.' But Maybe you're privy to more of the decision making process...of who's choice it was to establish a focus group...who chose the group...maybe that is where and why you perceive criticism of Robin when none was given. As for the membership...I have more than 1...but assuming I've only been around for 10 months is reasonable...how could you know...and why would you bother to consider something outside your field of vision...
