Player Features and Ideas Discussion

Instead of relying on forums for feedback ccp should have mandatory questionaires to be filled out before you are allowed to login.

So after someone logs in the survey for that day is loaded and must be completed before continuing.

Everyone should be forced to have an informed voice in game design.

Discuss.

Sweet, an update box AND a questionnaire before I even get to the load up screen? Sign me up!

Questionaires are flawed really. They can be worded to get the answers that the questioner wants and give that we are talking about a company here I do think they have people with the smarts to do this, or hire them.

You can not force someone to give an opinion, s just to be cantancerous they may give one that would cause disaster to the game. Though you could but a CBA option at the top and so let them bypass it altogother, or a notice saying you have the option to take part in one and allowing people to decline.

Massive waste of time.

People enter game, sometimes they get an EULA blurb they hastily scroll to the end and click OK.

Add questionnaires and they will fill an "X" in every required field (or even use a bot to do that!) and then press OK.

No. 1 Response: "Stop making me write essays."

Contradiction of terms.

You're essentially asking people not to log in. That's a very bad thing to ask of them.

Feedback form, simply have in login a link to one related to account. Those that want to fill it in will, those that don't won't troll it just to be rid of it.

Better idea: Polls on the character select screen. Completely optional, but clearly visible.

Let's try "automated feedback gathering" before we jump to "mandatory automated feedback gathering", yeah?

If this was an idea - and I am not convinced that it even qualifies as such - it should be in the ideas forum.

Other than that, it's already gone 1st April. I can only read your post as an attempted joke. It is a terrible idea.

Good thing CCP ignore such things.

Do I have to make a serious post to this idiocy?

Game design is not about ticking boxes. Not everything can be resolved with black and white choices.

The sentiment and understanding of systems with regards to different playstyles, crossover of use, or different degrees of preference means that games design follows an evolutionary process trying to bring in as many voices as possible in a dialouge that not only aids to provide understanding but follows a debate to a "collective" resolution that even may end up not being a pre-determined solution to begin with.

This is why I favour CCP's openess to discuss things with us in Blogs. And especially moreso after recommendations following incarna.

(CCP also do occasionaly send out feedback questionairres, but that is to gauge wether they are on the money.)
