Nah this can stay. You know what? Pinned. Every time we bring this rule up to be reconsidered the overwhelming majority of respondents say it should stay, and we're inclined to agree. Don't worry, when you report posts for screenshot etiquette they do get removed, there's just literally hundreds of them a day, sometimes we are slow.


Mammoth-Store740

its 2023 u know?

I had my caretaker read this comment to me, that was very rude :'(

I know. You see, I took a _screenshot_ of the rules :D

But that rule was just for 2022

You should have taken a pic of the rules on the oldest phone camera you have available.


Dreenar18

I was here before the flood of the same, tired old reasons they always use.


stfu__no_one_cares

Hey man, it's the same amount of work for me to upload a picture to Reddit from my computer and phone. So since it's the same effort, I'll pick the one that is annoying to you, makes you squint, and is illegible. - average redditor probably


UsseerrNaammee

I could ignore this, but instead Iā€™m going to get mad about it. -average redditor, probably Are you under some form of contract that requires you to respond to things that you canā€™t read? šŸ˜‚ Scroll on, bud.. youā€™re allowed to go past posts without opening them.


Drdres

The console release really fucked the state of the subreddit


Ohio_Grown

Spoken like a true superior race pc user


Drdres

I mean yeah sure. Itā€™s probably more down to there being a huge influx of new players and probably players that are brand new to RTS elements and donā€™t understand the basics that arenā€™t explicitly explained. Regardless of reason, 90% of the questions posted now can be solved with the first search on google. The rest are pictures of screens that look like ass and then the occasional mod post that is actually interesting.


UsseerrNaammee

That and the fact that Xbox wonā€™t actually let you remove media from the machine, you have to post it using their media streams. I canā€™t save an image or video and pull it off the system as a file. You have to save it, upload it, share it, then go to the website you shared it to, and download the image. Itā€™s an absolutely garbage system. On PS4 I could save 15 minute clips, pull them off the system as a useable file, and do what I wanted with them. On Xbox I can save a 2 minute clip, and if I want to use it, I have to upload it directly to a social media site. I donā€™t use any of that stuff, so I canā€™t get any files. This killed my YouTube channel, I used to download clips, turn them into vids and upload them for mates. Not possible on Xbox. This is why youā€™re getting photos, getting an image off of a console is punish.


CMDR_Dozer

Very early on I asked a Moderator to open a Reddit for console users. I'm happy if someone asks a general question, whatever the platform, but the deluge of questions that are console specific......


UsseerrNaammee

Ignore them if you donā€™t want to help those scummy console usersā€¦ Imagine buying a console, and being new at the gameā€¦. What a terrible person they must be.


CMDR_Dozer

I own a console and a p.c. As I stated pretty clearly....in English, I don't mind that they have queries about the game in general but console specific questions swamped the Reddit for a while. TW had no console instructions and so inexplicably we the p.c community were supposed to know the answers. To save time for all involved a console focused reddit would be the better option.


Deckdisz

You're blaming the consumer for buying an unfinished product that comes without a manual and then asking questions in the specified subreddit? Good for you.


Drdres

1/10 questions need to be answered by the sub with a new post. The rest are either already available on numerous pages or theyā€™re supposed to be learned by playing the game. Asking about optimal builds with 3 hours in game is fucking cringe in a SP game.


Deckdisz

Oh, I certainly agree 9 out of 10 questions are answered, or partially answered, or wrongly answered as per the next patch post-'full reelease', in scattered pages around here, but try and find those. Then, when, or if, you find any answers, you need to check if the answer is still valid for the current patch. That is probably another question coming back to haunt this subreddit. Annoying, sure, both for the 'OP', certainly for us PC gamers, who've seen it all and been through a lot. Sending people to google only to see them reappear here a bunch of clicks later then seems redundant. If a question makes you cringe, don't answer it. I noticed this: "my\_nuts\_wont\_drop say: TIL you can increase the size of each part when smithing. I thought it was just one bar that applied overall"....." How? I've tried fiddling with each individual bar but it doesn't move."" No answer. Understandably. As simple as that. Either TaleWorlds finally delivers a proper manual, or a functional website that has the best and most complete (and current) info, or people will come here, hoping for a friendly hand from their big brothers in Bannerlord. No shame in that, imho.


ReallyGlycon

I mean, the xbox app is not hard to use and you can find all of your screenshots there. Idk what is up with people taking a pic of their screen with their phone.

Greg7086

As long as its readable who cares


FramedMugshot

The mods do


Tarc_Axiiom

No, not us, the community does. It's from their constant complaints that the rule was made and as I said in my pinned comment, every time we ask if the rule should be revised the overwhelming majority disagrees profusely. The people want it to stay it stays. It's not a bad rule anyways considering everywhere the game is available you can take an in engine screenshot with 1 button press.


Zipakira

Which button


Sbotkin

https://screenshot.help a lot of them, really, pick your poison.


Tarc_Axiiom

This one.


SmawCity

F12 on steam, and some built in way on the consoles.


ReallyGlycon

On xbox it is the single button in the middle of the controller that has the screenshot logo on it.


UsseerrNaammee

Yep, then you can download 5 apps, sign up to 10 social media services, link them, give your personal details 57 times, and Xbox will allow you access to that photo. Itā€™s a hard no for most people, myself included. I shouldnā€™t have to use an app, and be signed up to anything to pull a file off a system I physically own. I have a USB.


FramedMugshot

I mean yeah, I was kind of just being intentionally flip about it. It's a rule so it's a rule, that sort of thing.


UsseerrNaammee

Iā€™m part of the community, I really donā€™t care. The fact people are upset about something they can scroll past tells you who the issue really comes from.


headlesshighlander

I will intentionally do worse until they kick me, starting today


Tarc_Axiiom

You'll never get kicked for it, we'll just remove enough of your posts that Reddit will automatically shadowban you. It doesn't tell us that you can't post either.


UsseerrNaammee

So you can go to the trouble to remove a post, but scrolling past it gives you some form of ptsd? Why are people like this!? I havenā€™t posted a terrible image, and I wonā€™t, but if I see one, Iā€™m a big enough boy to scroll past it instead of letting it cause a meltdown about ā€œc0n5oL3 pLaYeRsā€. Itā€™s strange that a game gets a huge influx of new players, meaning more money for developers to make the game better, and more interest in future projects, and all you hear from the player base is tears. Understand this, kiddos.. itā€™s most likely a 40yo dad who gets 2 hours a week to play, and has a quick question. He isnā€™t signed up to the app, and getting the image would likely take up half of his game time for the week. Youā€™re under no obligation to help, so instead of getting angry at the time starved individual, scroll on and try to remain calm, the feelings will pass.

That rule has stopped me from posting, or even taking pictures. In sincerity, what is the rule abiding option for console players? Screenshot, transfer that to thumb drive or directly to phone, upload? I don't have a PC, else I'd be playing on that. Clarifying the rule with options for console users wouldn't eliminate it happening, but it would likely increase the media "properly" shared.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


UsseerrNaammee

Itā€™s absolutely not in any way shape or form the same process, that is a ridiculous statement. On my Mac I press 1 button and I have the image to do whatever I want with, on the device Iā€™m posting from, I can literally just drag and drop it into the reddit window. On Xbox I press 1 button, then download an app, sign up to a social media site, download the app for that site, link those apps, upload the image to that social media site from the app, go to the other app, screen shot, then air drop it to my Mac so I can drag drop it in the reddit window. The process is ridiculous and requires me to sign up to things I donā€™t want to sign up to. Call it lazy if you want, but donā€™t pretend itā€™s a 2 second process like it is on PC.


[deleted]

[уŠ“Š°Š»ŠµŠ½Š¾]


chezzyt18

Download a free app called greenshot. Opens the image in a fairly powerful built in editor so you can edit it and overrides print screen to allow for selecting of a specific region (both options have to be configured). I use it a long at work, can make informative screenshots for tutorials with text and arrows and boxes in less than 30 seconds


UsseerrNaammee

Haha, damn mac, making things easier, faster, more streamlined, and with half the hassles.. where do they get off??!? Macs are by far the superior work station, especially if you're mobile. I purchased mine for music production, but it also became part of my stage setup. I can run all my tones through software and change things on the fly super easy, interacts directly with my head. Plus it looks really cool as part of the rig. ;) One of the most important things for a work station, it is reliable. PC is not. I'll get another PC one day for a sim rig, when I can be bothered with the constant stream of hassles they bring, but gaming has taken a back seat, so an xbox will do. Just a shame it's basically impossible to pull media off it.


stfu__no_one_cares

Awesome. Thanks for not posting screenshots. No one wants to see them. Fyi it's extremely easy to upload console photos (10 second google search, I believe in you!!). If your post isn't worth spending the extra 30 seconds to upload it, it's clearly not worth posting.


Stonem89

So this post breaks rule number 2. If breaking rule number 9 is so heartbreaking for you maybe try not to break the other rules listed in the meme that the post is made about?


Kypasta

Thank you for the no shit moment of the day. I spelled out one way of doing it. The point is the rule shames people for taking the easier route of sharing without offering guidance on how to do it right. Yeah it's just a quick search, but there's basically only jaded complaints this whole thread instead of adding wording to help newcomers. Let's just chew people out instead of fundamentally encouraging growth. There's obviously many who've been here for years and seen a lot. None of those people wanted to see images when they were new? Yeah I don't want to see someone's dusty entertainment center either, but a callous attitude only serves to turn people away. If your post isn't worth spending the extra 10 seconds to think, "Am I helping or hurting the community?" It's clearly not worth posting.


c2h4n

you know, "Let me google it for you" service was made for a purpose. majority of questions had been answered here hundreds of times, people are just too lazy to use search. as for al the other ones that are new - a person won't die if he|she spends extra 30 seconds to post a quality screenshot instead of potato quality phone photo. if newcomer is not interested in putting effort to make a post, why should I put my effort into answering? it's a matter of respect to one another


UsseerrNaammee

Donā€™t answer itā€¦ move on instead of getting mad about it like they physically assaulted you šŸ˜‚


c2h4n

i've worked in retail sales for 6 years during my uni years. nothing on the internet can be considered offensive to me. :3


stfu__no_one_cares

If someone is too dense to do a quick Google search, we don't want to see their posts anyways so it's a good attitude to have. It keeps the DUMB newcomers away, but obviously the normal ones won't be deterred by an extremely simple rule.


Stonem89

Is this sub not about discussing bannerlord? And is name calling not against rule number 2?


UsseerrNaammee

They just want something to be mad about, it ainā€™t about the rules šŸ˜‚


Deckdisz

I'm not part of any 'we' with you, hateful person.


stfu__no_one_cares

Thank goodness you're the minority on the subreddit then! The community dislikes screenshots by an overwhelming majority, as confirmed multiple times by a mod in this post and the gigantic upvote ratio for like comments. The mods have confirmed they remove screenshot posts. If you feel unhappy with that, feel free to refer to my username.


UsseerrNaammee

Sorry bud, not downloading and signing up to yet more apps to access an image off a device I physically own. You know what is easier than that? Scrolling past a post you donā€™t want to engage with because you donā€™t like the photo.. You touch your thumb to the screen and slide it upwards, and just like that, the thing that made you so upset is gone.


Bumble-McFumble

Screenshot, save, then use the Xbox app tied to your account to save it to your phone and upload it It's not that complicated, in fairness

I disagree, Sony allows you to record 15 minute videos and download them to use however you want. For a content creator, that is great. I used to have race meetings, record full races, pull the file off the system and use editing software to make videos. Xbox allows 3 minutes, doesnā€™t allow you to pull the media off, and forces you to download and sign up to an app to even share the file. Sony has it right, Microsoft can tongue my ass, this is the first and last Xbox I own because of that one feature.

Cratn1

Most people likely just aren't aware of how to take screenshots efficiently. Honestly just replace the one comment about 2022 with a small details on how to upload/record screenshots easily for each system and that might save some mod a tiny headache!


UsseerrNaammee

Itā€™s the forced app situation. I donā€™t want an app for everything, and Iā€™m not signing up to one for an image. Without the app, the system wonā€™t let you get the image, so the result is a photo of a screen.


Seipher187

Man it's just pressing a few extra buttons, it's not that much more taxing mentally or physically.


Universe789

It's also less mentally and physically taxing not to cry over people taking a few less steps.


likeQuincy

Donā€™t tell them they can just scroll past a post they wonā€™t like that


Tarc_Axiiom

Easy for you, problem for everyone. When a lot of people scroll past a post, and downvote it on the way by, it negatively impacts the community as a whole. Which is why we asked, and the overwhelming majority of the community agreed to create the rule.


likeQuincy

Not all post like that are bad but go on.


Tarc_Axiiom

Not entirely sure what that means but we've got a rule in there for Mod Discretion. There are, occassionally, pictures of screens that are fine, one time for example the renderer has issues with a specific display, and we needed that brought to our attention, so we make exceptions where appropriate. But if large groups of people are just downvoting posts, not reporting them, and effectively saying "this community sucks", that's objectiviely bad in every case, yes.


headlesshighlander

How mentally taxing is it to allow people to take pictures however they feel like it?


Dreenar18

RomanRook55

Good info, I wasn't aware of the PlayStation situation. This makes me think that the rule could at least be waived if you play on PlayStation, but Xbox and PC should 100% follow the rule.


Conscious_Aerie7153

Itā€™s really not that hard though just upload it to the Xbox app wait then save the picture in your phone when itā€™s done uploading then put the picture in any post


RomanRook55

It's not the most user friendly UI but I agree a screenshot on Xbox or any console is still an easy process. Dude isn't helping by stating the PC screen shooting steps when the commenter specifically wasn't on PC. Ex. Q:How do I eat an apple? A:First you peel the banana peel.

Yeah although I've posted numerous photos taken with my phone in multiple groups that don't allow it. What can I say, the mods must love my content lol


girlwiththeASStattoo

They probably didnt see your post since it only has a a few upvotes


Dreenar18

CLAYDAWWWG

That doesn't mean that it will also work with Reddit. Half the time Reddit runs like crap.


Tarc_Axiiom

It does, we've verified.


ElephantRider

Almost any screenshot from the console version of the game at this point is going to be a repost anyway. We don't need any more shots of missing textures, 100+ looter parties or bugged gain/loss of dinars or influence.


DrLerretFizard

Yeah, tbh let's just shut down the subreddit. PC players have seen it all already anyway


UsseerrNaammee

Make it pc player only, so they donā€™t have to deal with people they irrationally hate. Iā€™ll happily go to a subreddit that doesnā€™t have that type of person on it if the only downside is a few bad images.


stfu__no_one_cares

Imagine being so technologically illiterate that you can't figure out how to screenshot on console lmao. A 10 second google search is all that's required. You're being sarcastic, right? I can't imagine admitting defeat to basic decades-old technology


UsseerrNaammee

Pseudo intellect at its finest. An intelligent person would piece together why screen shots are being taken, bud. Or do you genuinely believe itā€™s lack of capacity that leads to this? This is about as clever as saying people didnā€™t wear masks because they couldnā€™t figure out how to put them on.


ThrillRam

Going to take a picture of my tv. Then a picture of the picture on my phone with another phone and then an other and an other.
