Forum sub-threads on PSNProfiles sucks

With Dead by Daylight theres 3 trophy lists

Dead by Daylight [PS4]
Dead by Daylight: Additional Chapters [PS4]
Dead by Daylight [PS5]
 

and each and every one of them has their own separate sets of forum posts.

Why the hell are they not linked? These 3 lists at their core are all identical, it’d make 1000 times more sense to combine all of them and if their was issue prevalent to only the PS4 or PS5 edition than you’d say so in your forum post.

Obviously I’m posting knowing that it’ll never be changed and this issue will be present until the day this website closes.

Without really knowing better, my guess would be because I think the site generates the forums automatically as new trophy lists are added.  It's likely more effort than it's worth to remove that functionality and force the staff to perpetually create new subforums by hand to make sure the "linking" meets your standards and/or merge all of the existing ones together.  Not to mention the inevitable disagreements on what should or shouldn't link together, in less obvious scenarios.

 

Nothing to get too upset over I'd think...

Waste of time and effort. Literally just one click away. Nothing to rage over.

It is pretty annoying when different regions of the same game have different information buried in the posts and you have to spend way more time finding what you saw a while ago. It may not be the biggest deal, but I'd like to see a forum merge of the same game into one location. It's better than having 5 different forums of the same title lol.

Or people could create guides for the games that actually include these extra nuances that you are finding as your scour through a ton of old posts.

Some people don't have to time or inclination to create a guide. And tbh, a lot of threads are just things you should look at for but don't exactly belong in a guide. And sometimes, there's threads about announcements in a game, which wouldn't ever belong in a guide. 

 

So I'm not really sure how you thought this was a good alternative.

I know nothing about this game but I do rate your clickbait title. It got me hooked.

Excellent post title! ?

well, already knowing this "problem" sometimes i need to check multiple forums looking for an answer to something, but some unsuspecting people might miss information

I don't agree.

 

Why would I want to scour through forum posts all over the internet in order to find every minor secret about a game?  Isn't that the whole point of a guide?  So that I'm reading information relative to the actual game, and not just looking at players opinions of how they felt something was difficult or what move they used to beat a boss.

 

If the information isn't important enough to be in a guide, then why would you care to read it in a thread?  That's completely contradictory.

Because the person who came up with the best strat for one trophy doesn't want to create a whole guide? Why is this so hard to understand.

 

There used to be trophy tips feature before but it got scrapped and replaced with guides.

The guide is usually written by a single person and the forums are the collective knowledge of the entire community. That's the big difference.

Even the best guide is not going to be able to cover every useful tip exhaustively.  That's just not realistic.

 

And not every game has a guide.  There's many out there that just have a few forum posts that are helpful with respect to getting a particular trophy and not much else.
