I know the DK boards have never really been active, but for a while this place has been pretty dead (... like undead zombies are less dead lol). We've always been a laid back and easy going group, but perhaps due to the convenience of skype/discord/fb groups a lot of the discussion has left the boards. While not as fluid as other social network platforms, forums can still be useful for both newer and veteran players. In an effort to breath some life into this board, I feel like some changes can be done to make it more useful and engaging to everyone. The purpose of this thread is to see how you guys feel and ask what changes you'd like to see.
These are some of the things I have in mind
- Restarting the DK MU discussion thread
- DK tourney results and matchmaking thread
- More focused group discussion on various things
For now, my approach on the MU thread will probably be discussing them in waves of 4-5 so that we can actually finish them within 3 months. MU's affected by patches during the first run through all the characters would re-discussed after finishing everyone. Once we finish the first sweep of all the characters I think we can start attempting in-depth MU breakdowns on prevalent tourney threats 1 or 2 at a time.
We are currently lacking a tournament results thread, and I think that combining it with local matchmaking just makes sense. Fostering competitive growth is what drew me to smashboards, and I know that competition is largely fueled by rivals. Maybe we could do an online tournament to kick things off, or have DK vs ___ board showdowns that tie in to the current MU discussion.
The third point is pretty vague, but there really is a lot of random things that warrant discussion. Stuff like item play, stage selection, moveset tier lists, teams meta, move of the week, common OoS punishes, etc.
Let me know if you have any ideas on what you'd like to see or how you guys want them to be done.
