Category suggestion

Suggested Category and subcategories :

  1. Showcases
    a. Functional builds
    b. Art builds
    c. Race/Parkour Ranges
    d. Art Ranges
    e. Artworks and others

Description suggestion: “Exhibition of players in-game and real-life creations.

  • Why should people use this category? What is it for?

    • People should use this category when they want to show (pictures) and eventually describe all their creations to the world.
    • People can look at this category when they want to discover creations from other players.
  • How exactly is this different than the other categories we already have?

    • At the moment the only category we have is “general discussion” for discussion mainly. Players might want different things from the forum: discussing, showing/discovering builds/ranges, and getting information/tips. This suggested category would regroup the topics from this 2nd category (showing/discovering in-game and real-life creations).
    • Previously in the old forum, the corresponding categories were “Vehicles” and “Fan area/fan art. My suggestion aims to merge and improve this old organization.
  • What should topics in this category generally contain?

    • Vehicles/ranges/artworks pictures and their descriptions from authors, And eventually few replied compliments/related questions/constructed critics from readers.
    • This category should not include questions/discussions about vehicles. The old category named “Vehicles” was too vague and some topics were created for some random and simple questions about vehicles (example: “what movements parts should I use for a canon build?”). Naming the category “Showcase” should be clearer.
    • Another sub-category “building contests” can be considered.
  • Do we need this category? Can we merge with another category, or subcategory?

    • We don’t have this category/subcategory for that yet in this new forum and creativity/construction is a big part of the game.

I think that a single section for “Vehicles” would be enough. The one in the old forum did just fine imho. Would be nice if a thread could have a tag like the announcement thread has with the suggested sub-categories Charlie suggests.

Either way, the option to posts multiple builds with pictures in a single thread where multiple players can post already make this forum superior to leddit. Someone there started a “yellow box challenge” and there’s like 30 different threads clotting the page while on a forum like this, it could be nicely containd and easily followed by everyone.

The tagging system would probably work fine for handling the subcategories. This would cut down on the number of subcategories by a lot.

Example:

  1. Showcases
    a. Builds
    (Tags: Art Build, PVP Build, PVE Build, CW Build, CW Levi build)
    b. Ranges
    (Tags: Art Range, Parkour Range, Race Range)
    c. Artworks and others
