Lots of player surveys please

[Platinumstorm]

Hi,

After 30 days I won't be able to post on this forum any longer, but I'd love to give feedback concerning how the game develops into the future.

I would love to see monthly or bimonthly surveys go out for direction with building the 2.0 experience.

Good luck.

I agree! I remmeber filling out a survey for ffxiv and it made me feel like I was making a difference. Main reason why I keep returning to ffxiv is the devs' relationship with the community.

Yes, please, Dev team do more surveys!

Agreed!

While SE definitely needs to keep its diehard fans happy, they need to be even more concerned about why an overwhelming majority of players were unhappy with the game. And now, after subscriptions have begun, I'm afraid those opinions will be even harder to reach. If SE wants to poll responses from their now current subscribers separately, that's fine, but they would be remiss if they did not still find a way to collect feedback from those who will soon no longer be able to post on the forums, as well.

Surely there must be a way to also poll those who have purchased the game, but don't have active characters?

Dont remember when Yoshi P. said so, but I am 100% sure he said another player's poll is coming sometime to get opinions and a direction sense for 2.0.

But if you can't play the game to see the new stuff for yourself, how are you going to give feedback on it? They might introduce something that sounds awful, but actually good once you try it, and you might vote against it.

That's a good reason to keep the polls separate. Some core questions could be the same, while some would obviously go in different directions.

For example, current players might be asked what they like about the game and how they feel about specific changes/patches, while they might ask those who have stopped playing why they left and what would make them reconsider returning. Plus, it's a good opportunity to put a bug in their ears about 2.0.

I have to agree. Albeit there is always the element of "too many chefs ruins a soup" I think at this point it could only help.

Bi monthly though, not monthly.

I don't agree tons of surveys are a good thing. If they do what the people want all the time, it will be a mesh of terrible.

Also if you want to help the game, pay for it ^>^

Hey gang, as I'm sure some of you are aware, we're already preparing the 3rd player survey. Yoshida said that he plans on conducting surveys after this as needed, too. Also keep in mind that we're constantly gathering feedback and data from the forums (and elsewhere) and passing them along to the dev. team. Hopefully this puts your minds at ease!
