[SC] when...

can u pls tell me when an idea by a player was actually put into the game...?

 

I remember the Ice design, which is posted originally as a Crystal design in this section.

 

That is why they have the FORUMS run by moderators, D O does not want to deal with the community directly. If a Moderator sees a really good suggestion they might "PIN" it so they can keep an eye on the progression and thus send some information to the Dev Team but this is rarely and even the one I saw posted as being pinned did not get the actual pinning so I do not know if it went anywhere or not. The only thing that gets passed up is if there are a ton of requests for the same thing and the Dev Team think they might be able to incorporate them into the game, the latest example of this is the "Vanity" stuff that has just been added but I don't remember seeing much requesting the ability to change the looks of our drones or PET's Just the ability to disguise our ships by using the skin designs while using an advantage design also.

 

I thought good ideas where posted in the
Update & Idea Pool INDEX

But most of this ideas are...ignored.

 

After looking at those, they seem to be the archived ideas that have been suggested, basically a final resting place for ideas that have not been picked up but have been suggested. All that I opened were not open for discussion and were not officially closed as usual, they also have not been implemented in the game. Granted I did not read all of them.

 

As stated the Vanity drone designs were suggested by players but mainly because they wanted to use the Demon design as a vanity and run with Havoc stats. As we can see both are stat designs now.

The best idea from players that got in the game is the NOOB gate. It is actually the easy gate that we got last year but it has been placed as a mission gate for new players to go through as they are starting out. Even with very little damage and shield power, it is possible to do, although not a breeze by any standards.

 

Hello,

Things that were requested by the community at some point?:
More ship designs, PET designs (vanity)
More maps (pirates) / gates
More NPCs ^
Hanger halls
Kamikaze feature -> PET

That's just a few off the top of my head, and some of those, including PET/ship designs, were requested off & on for years. It might not always come out when it's at the height of it's conversation, or exactly how people expect, ubt that doesn't mean the things asked for haven't come out either.

Again I have to say I have no idea where some "facts" have come from about this, but fact is, DO does see ideas proposed and over time some may make their way to the game. & as mentioned, there are ideas from forums or chat that we pass along too.

There's also several other communities, not just ours. So ideas that ring through the entire community are going to ring a little louder than a one-off idea with five posts supporting it in one language. It's not that ideas aren't any good, or aren't being sen, looked at, or cared for, but there is no one who can just snap their fingers and make everything work inside the game on a dime; not every idea is going to make it, and not every idea is feasible. Some things sound good on paper and aren't so great in practice.

Regards,
