Player Polls 3.3 - 3.35

Since we no longer get player polls, I figured I would like to do one after each patch, providing that it kicks off.

My hopes are that;

- The developers actually look at it.
- It gives us a clear view of what players are thinking.
- It provides the developers with clear, consolidated feedback.
- It will provoke the process of change where requested.

I've tried to include everything, if you feel there is something worth adding then please say so.

This first survey is purely focused around content from 3.3 and 3.35
Please take 5 minutes to fill it in and I would appreciate it if someone would post about this on reddit since I dont have an account, or i'll make one if I dont see it there in a few days.

*I've had to change survey provided due to the limit on viewing results. I still have a record of the initial 200 results and can compile them at a later date.

Link to survey:

Live Results:

I like this idea. It'd be cool if SE checks into it or hosts an official one of their own again.

Done, and did a link in Reddit to garner more feedback.

This is a great, much better then the complaining that been all over the forums lately.

Many thanks for that Rice.

I'am bothered by the question 1 : Do you take part in the following content ?

The thing I need to know is if I do my things weekly (like raid 24), it is consider like regularly, occasionally or rarely ?
For Moogle Beast Tribe, Hildibrand Questline and Anima Weapon, I have already finished them. What answer do I take ?
Same for Orchestrion, I have just 5 music left and as for 3.2, I tried to get them in the first weeks, but not now. What answer do I take ?
I did a lot of PVP Shatter before Feast come back with season 2. What answer do I take ?

Why do we have Nidhogg trial (you complete it once and you never come back excepted for help players or roulette Trials). It's clearly the same for Hildibrand.

Lord of Vermillion is a content from 3.1, it shouldn't be here (even with update) like Triple Triad (but okay, why not...).

I think "Glamour" is the missing element here :)

Well if your doing content weekly that's regular right? Same for Beast tribes, hildibrand, anima and the orchestrion, you finished that content then you must have done it quite regularly no?

As for LoV and triple triad, I was just going through the 3.3 patch notes and saw content had been added for them so I added them to the survey.

I did consider adding glamour however im pretty sure that the answers would be; yes I take part, yes I enjoy it.

Done & done, someone should build some courage & try this on the Japanese forums lol

Not just the Japanese forums; we should have this type of survey on each language forum.

And good questions and responses, as well! Thank you for making it for us.

Well if anyone can type in the other languages i'd be more than happy to work with them.

The problem I see with this is that it still mainly reaches only forum/reddit dwellers, which tend to be a very different type of player to most others.
Usually a lot more dedicated but also with higher expectations, especially concerning difficulty.
Like for example, lots of people in this survey said Weeping City is just right in difficulty while ingame, you have most people whine about it being too hard.

Still, this gave very interesting insights so far :)
Too bad it's so limited and never asks for a reason. Like, there is a lot of content that gets the "I don't care about it" treatment, but it would be important to find out WHY people don't care for it. Is it just a general dislike of the type of content? Were they put off by how complicated it is to get into it, was it too hard, not rewarding enough, etc.? Stuff like that.

Like Caesaria pointed out, some results may be a bit random because people answered them with different scenarios in mind (for example, (s)he considered his hunting for the new songs for the Orchestrion to be participation in that content. I, on the other hand, counted how regularly I use the actual Orchestrion to change the music in my house, and so on.)

But yeah, in general I'm positively surprised by the results so far :)
Except for certain content (like LoV), people seem to be rather happy and satisfied with what they got and only want small improvements if at all.
Which is something I always suspected anyway, but it's easy to forget that with all the negativity in the forums :3

Very nice survey. As someone who doesn't raid savage and think I am a scrub in terms of skill, I was surprised when I marked a lot of 'easy' or 'too easy' and only one 'challenging' in the survey.

Well, at least difficulty is an extra question. I personally put "I don't care for this content" for Nidhogg EX and then later picked "Too hard" for it, which serves as reason why I don't care for the content. If I can't DF it, I don't do it, basically.

My motto. I'm too insecure to join a party finder group because I fear I will drag them down into an abyss of endless wipes.

I will be going to more in depth with another survey asking why on content that the majority of people dont care about. :)

I see, thanks for all your efforts :)

done :D

if only SE did that....a little survey on login in (1 per account )

Blade and Soul already integrated some kind of ingame-survey including a reward for players for completing it. I wish SE would do the same here.

In my opinion, its time for some radical/major changes. The game is stable, but content and gameplay gets old.

Funny thing is, we used to have those ingame polls back during the BETA. They showed up after doing certain quests, killing enemies, leveling up, getting certain skills, getting reward from quest npc and killing bosses. They did this before, they can bring it back, but the question should, are they interested getting our feedback?

Done this as well. I'm surprised not more people didn't choose Housing to have major improvements. - I still wish I could get a home if we had more plots.

Done, nice idea. Hopefully this gets as much community support as possible.

I personally really like how the housing system works, so I don't want any big changes. What (assumably) most people want are just small fixes, like more plots, a higher furniture limit, etc., no complete overhaul of the system, which major changes would imply^^

Done! I appreciate that there was a selection that it is content that doesn't interest me choice because a lot of it doesn't interest me but I definitely think those that have those interests should have a voice and I am not sure other than another survey about the specific content would be helpful. Anyway, thank you for taking the time to put this together.

Done, Might I suggest you keep a consistent direction of which side if positive and which is negative next time? Almost tripped me up in my sleepy state. (eg. when you vote 12345 five on the right is the positive response when earlier the left side was 'good')

Yes please! Would it be best for you to use google sheets? Make a spreadhseet with the translations of the original survey then I can make another :)

Except for the Moogle tribe quests I don't see any mention of any off the other tribe quests, or other side quests. I do know that except to get the anima relic many don't bother with the tribe quests. However it would good to see how many actually do those. Main reason I can see from the survey, most seemed to be focused only on dungeons and raids. which is most of the survey. I have had some tell me that the tribe quests are beneath them to do. I think it would be good to see if others share or don't share that opinion. Hunts are not mentioned either. I, and I know others use them as an alternative to the dungeon grind.

se please do o this omg this is great

happy to know that i am not the only one who doesn't care about pvp , wish SE would focus on pve instead of investing in that boring pvp

Would have preferred if the "I don't care for this content" had simply been "N/A (Other reason)" after "I can't access this content yet". There were quite a few items I couldn't judge usefully, but not because I dislike the content type or was unable to access it.

Other than that, really good survey. Thank you for putting this out here.

Would like to see another sometime, asking about crafters, gatherers, job mechanics and identity, etc., in greater detail. Helps to look at the universals sometimes too, not just the recent content themselves.

On that note: I would be curious how Savage fares, considering even Niddy EX has fairly high "don't care" numbers as well. Then again, perhaps that's why it wasn't even included...

Here is what i did :
https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets...=2&pli=1#gid=0

I tried a "funier approach" cause that's how i work and i had some diffuculties to litteraly translate certain concept like "just poor" or "just bad" (we like to complicate things in french ^^" ) so they work as some kind of notes for the reader.
I'll submit it when ready on the french forum and will tell you if we get feedback regarding the questions or the translation to improve my version ^^

The only thing I think you missed was Classes/Jobs at the bottom for questions 2, 3, 4 & 6

Oh sorry ^^'
But you can just add them on the french poll cause it does not change from english to french ^^" Maybe add something like :
"Monter d'autres classes / jobs"
like in "leveling others classes / jobs", might not be easy to understand with just "classes / job" (even in english ^^") if it is what you meant of course

Done, the survey is now updated and ready to be posted :)

I think this survey is a fantastic idea! Gives a look at hard numbers.

it seems the link to french version of the feedback does not work, we can't access to it ^^"

EDIT : Some french speaking players sugested we do the same for other polls like
http://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/t...-Your-thoughts
that you created, what do you think about it ?

If you'd like to translate them I can make then for the french community too :)

Now all we need is a German and Japanese translator :D
