Title: A suggestion about suggestions
Post by: Arry on July 13, 2010, 01:14:32 pm
Hi everyone, this idea is from Pozzo, i'm just here to translate the idea and propose it on the official forum.

This idea is about to change the section called Suggestions. At the moment, this place is full of all good ideas, bad ideas, things, limbonic fiction and more...
GM's always speak about devs having other plans, priorities... Then so be it, why don't we change this Suggestions section ?

Old Suggestions:

-You can post your idea, what you want
-Players explain what they think about it
-You can see really strange things
-Devs don't have time to waste time with opinions, they have their planning
-Of course there is always good ideas who will be implemented

At least, it's quite useless for a good development

New Suggestions:

The principe is very easy, it's about be more clear with projects on Fonline:2238
Devs (Or GM, in direct link with devs) will post on that section devs' plans, and players will bring ideas of what can be change, what can be balance...
The primary change will be about ideas, players will gives ideas and not opinions, and devs will do the change.

1. Devs decide something, about changes, balances, new implements...
2. Players give ideas, not opinions
3. Devs applies or not thoses ideas and do the change

With that you'll have:
-A good relation between players and devs
-Transparency, players can help devs
-Less complain (I hope...) about updates and changes
-More usefull section
-Players would have more informations about the futur

If devs want to know opinions, GMs can make polls

Or just make more ruthless purging and cleaning of the suggestions forum.

hell no, I fully support the idea of such change, Ive talked with some Devs bout the problem before.
Right now most of the suggestions are pretty useless because often they collide with devs plans, or they are already being implemented or they are just impossible or senseless :P

with a problem given to us, we could discuss the matter and devs would see what those people who visit suggestions think (and I think that If you call yourself beta-tester you should sit in here all day :D)

A very good idea, finally the players will have a better chance to improve the game, and will see what the Devs want, where they go.

Suggestions will never be accurate as long as devs' general plans for the future are secret. In the best cases, a suggestion will suggest what is already planned :/

In fact it could be good if every week (or month) developers write a topic to explain on what they are working. So the players will be able to suggest about that.

As I said devs wont talk in this board, dont ask my why - I just say they wont.

And say me one good reason why "theeeir plaaanes" (- ghostly voice) must be a secret? I think its stupid  ::)
