zverochert 6 Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) We bought preAlpha game, so we invested our money in it. It looks more like kickstart project to me. I think it's time to invest some of our brains, and take part in game development, to make it as we want to see it, together.I have some ideas how to make this game better, and i'm sure so do you. There is my first idea.There should be a dedicated forum branch (or category, or smth else, i dnt know how to name it correctly, like "General Discussion" and "New Player Discussion") with name "Game Improvement Discussion" or "Game Improvement Ideas". Inside this branch: one idea - one topic. Topic starter should completely describe his idea as detailed as he can, other can make some argument. No off-top, only constructive criticism. So it will be well structured, and easy no navigate. I think this make easy for game developers to know what their most enthusiastic players want to improve, or balance. Because now if you want to figure out what players want, you have to digest sh*tload of whining, butthurt, pointless argue and other waste. If we just start one topic for it, like it is for beginners guide, where several ideas will be discussed simultaneously it will be confusing. If we just start posting new topics in "General Discussion", it will be lost among "why evryone KoS, my butt is so hurt", and "I died falling from a single stair, where can i get a refund"So it need to be dedicated and strictly moderated branch. Therefore i address this to forum administration also. P.S. Sorry, English is not my native, so i can only hope it's good enough for you can understand me.

zverochert 6 Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) I feel so stupid now, but thank anyway...Wait a minute... It's for mod. May be its better to make dedicated branch for SA, it will be more convenient, especially for newcomers.For example, i never played mod, so i dont even look to the "DayZ Mod" part of forum, i dont know if mod version of game still developing, or abandoned, and i'm sure i'm not unique.

zverochert 6 Posted December 23, 2013 Yes, now good ideas mixed up with discussion on current gameplay strategy, hints, advises, questions and whine. All i'm saying dedicated branch for ideas is in developers best interest.Im just curious, does developers read this forum? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MCRoadkill 7 Posted December 23, 2013 (edited) In the end I think this game will become a community based game, dev have to listen to the players. That's what binds players to a game, dev that listen to them (if it makes sense ofcourse ;) ) If they don't listen of just stick to their idea, players will leave and will not encourage other players to play it and eventuatly the game will die out.But considerd where they game from with the MOD, I don't think that will happen.
