Build Your Survey

[ASkellington]

I feel like a survey like this would benefit as @Zephyr mentioned on a 1-10 scale with 10 being the best.

Questions I'd like asked:

• How do you feel about the overall state of the game?
• How do you feel about class/job balance?
• How do you feel about how a class/job plays?
• How well did you like/receive the new dps class Reaper?
• How well did you like/receive the new healer class Sage?
• How well did you like/receive the reworked Summoner?
• How well did you like/receive the changes to Samurai?
• How well did you like/receive the changes to Paladin?
• How did you like the introduction of Island Sanctuary?
• How did you like the introduction of Variant and Criterion Dungeons?
• How much did you enjoy the MSQ (6.0)?
• How much did you enjoy post-MSQ (6.1-.4)?
• How much are you looking forward to 6.5's MSQ?
• How much did you enjoy the new Hildibrand questline?
• <insert crafting related questions I am not qualified to ask here>
• How well did you like/receive the new Relic?
• How much are you looking forward to Dawntrail?
• How excited are you for the new graphical update?

With those 1-10 questions asked I would then have a few questions with a 500-1000 (or however much) limit added at the end:

What would you like to see more of in Final Fantasy XIV?

What are your hopes/wishes for Dawntrail?

And the bigguns I guess:

What role do you most often play in Final Fantasy XIV (choose 1):

• Tank
• Healer
• DPS

What thoughts do you have upon your chosen role this expansion?

What would you like to see with your chosen role next expansion?

I forgot to add the rework to pvp to my list.

Add that in there too I guess.

Nuance means nothing if there isn't some standard that differentiates why someone would pick a 6 instead of a 7. You could have 2 players that feel the exact same way about something but they will pick 2 different numbers because the numbers represent different things to each of them.

Increasing the number of potential responses also increases the amount of time it's going to take to complete the survey. It's generally easy pick how you feel when you're asked to choose from Hate, Dislike, Neutral, Like, Love. You read the question and your mind is generally going to immediately jump to one of those for an answer. If confronted by a "rate 1 (worst) to 10 (best)" scale, unless you totally love, totally hate something or have absolutely no opinion about something, you're going to sit there trying to decide what number is the best.

It's usually better to keep things on the simple side. If there is nuance that is helpful to see, it should be revealed through the answers to more specific questions.

I'll work on adding in some of the new questions getting posted.

Not being a PvP person, what rework are you referring to or is it just a general "does PvP need to be reworked" question, in which case it's helpful to know if you're referring to map design/objectives, job design or something else.

The entire PvP overhaul they did. Changing all the classes to the smaller set than we used to have in Shb.

+ the inclusion of Crystaline Conflict (another pvp piece of content I forgot to add) and its ranked version that was added this expansion.

In short the questions I'd have rather have asked would be:

• Overall balance of the game
• New content added the current expansion specifically
• Ones that touch upon each part of the game for everyone (from MSQ to battle content to pvp and crafting etc)
• And perhaps a few targeted questions that may need a 500-1000 character limit such as the "State of Role" question

If they want to add in questions about mounts/minions that the player base would like as in the current survey fine, but if you're going to do that also add questions about:

• Hairstyles people would like to see
• Glamour gear (from other FF titles or just in general)
