Thread lock please? I've refused to reply to this thread and will not post my input as I feel it will only perpetuate this useless, livejournal-esque thread that continues to be bumped on the front page by its creator for over a month straight.

Edit: over a month, not 5 days

Yeah, putting the timed nms KIs in gold chests is pretty clear proof that our feedback is used, lol.

Right, and I'm not saying that our feedback isn't used here. I'm asking of a Roadmap of sorts as to how it goes from the boards here to being considered for in-game content. I'm aware that our ideas are being bounced off the Devs, but that still doesn't make clear the process that occurs from that point.

You aren't going to get that and no company will show that, ever.

Hold on, let me find the text to copy here in regards to what the Devs are going to created for our future feedback to new content. I'll paste it here.

copied from the development roadmap:
July – September 2011: Test Server to Go Live
In conjunction with the test server, subforums dedicated to hosting player feedback will be established in the official forums, the two combining to mark the birth of a new development cycle as outlined below.

1) Content under development
2) Content announced via the test server and official forums
3) Testing
A) Player testing and feedback
B) Testing by Development and QA teams
4) Fine-tuning
Balancing and debugging based on the findings of step 3; test server updated
(*Repeat from step 2)
5) Version update released

okay. They want our feedback. They're going to make a special place for it.

Honestly, I dont know why you NEED to be told. They read the forums, take ideas they think they are good, give them to the development team at meetings, etc, and they discuss what is good and bad and what they can and cant do, what more do you really need to know?

[Kimble]

Did I ever say they didnt want our feedback? All I said is they arent going to "road map it" and give you like a step by step process of our the feedback is processed like you are asking for.

What for? Having them in the game is good enough for me.

That our ideas truly helped. If you're passionate about seeing change in this game, then you won't stop posting suggestions. However, rewarding your community of players that spend time and effort both playing and giving feedback with the knowledge that their voice is truly being heard at the creation table is tremendously powerful, and it will keep the player's moral super high.

Kimble if you post a suggestion that you feel very strongly about, it will be important to you to know if your feedback counted. Surely you agree with this.

Do you really need validation for your Gyms idea? You'd have to be an idiot to not see some small aspect of your idea was added to Grounds of Valor, but you shouldn't act like your idea made this come to fruition totally (as they had already state a loooong time ago they wanted to extend Fields of Valor in some manner). Just be happy something similar came along and move on.

The cool people don't need to have validation to feel special that they made a difference in something.
