james_foschi@hotmail.com 19 Posted July 17, 2012 So do these suggestions even go anywhere i have made some and obviously alot of people have and there are some dam good ones out there, but my question is... do they get read by admins / rocket? does he even take notice? does any of this go anywhere? like people comment and reply and so on but once the thread is gone off page one.. that's it done finished no more comments or replies obviously unless people are following... But then what happens? a bunch of us people on the forums make a change? no nothing..My suggestion is.... well for rocket to read these or some admin say they are a good idea or not...

disorder 344 Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Rocket prints them out, sheds them and pads his hamster cage. Then when every new release comes out, he takes the hamsters out and puts them all in wheels hooked up to batteries to help power the servers.

DZR_Mikhail 2424 Posted July 17, 2012 Rocket told many times, he reads forums thoroughly as he can. He cannot reply to each suggetsion. If he replies to each suggestion even with "Yes\No" he won't have time to develop DayZ.And as he told me:Please do use Dev-heaven. It is much, much easier for me!Most of the issues there are more serious bugs that need to be fixed in engine. I hope people also post the smaller ones there so I can track those easier than on the forums.RocketSo, use dev-heaven, if your suggestion fits in the engine or the concept, you'll see it in the future, but don't hope for personal reply. Unfortunately that's how it works. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GeeksterDayZ 55 Posted July 17, 2012 (edited) Suggestions are all well and good, but I'm pretty damn sure that Rocket has his own plans for the mod, It is his after all, and most of the suggestions on here are either not possible, not in keeping with the spirit of the mod, or just plain crap that someone *thinks* is a good idea because they're the one who had it.

L0G!N (DayZ) 149 Posted July 17, 2012 I thought the same thing tbh. and if there is one place Rocket can find new fresh ideas that he didn't come up with yet, it's here. Also, it's fairly likely that most of the ideas for DayZ are also being thought of by other people (duplicates in this part of the forum show this without any doubt), and it's exactly here that these ideas get discussion. And if Rocket is indeed realy interested in engaging with the player base and getting feedback on ideas, this would be the place to go without having to tell exactly what is on his mind in regards to the ideas he has himself. Say Rocket is thinking about added bloodregeneration for some particular reason, well there are tons of threads about that and all of them show what and how the community thinks about that idea, not just 'i want/dont want' comments, but actual concerns work arounds most reasonable implementation for DayZ etc. He can read all about it without starting a riot on the generalforum with saying, i'm thinking about adding bloodregeneration, what do you think? To then have social media twist his words by saying 'rocket is adding blood regeneration to dayz' starting an even bigger riot, where he then has to explain to ALL media, that he was just throwing out a bone to discuss a topic and how it got out of hand from there realy fast (like killing noobs with snipers in Electro fast).And he doesn't even have to say, well this sucks i won't, or this is good i'll considder. He can just ask questions if things are not clear, or if it's and idea he had himself mention that and give some of his thoughts on the subject. Even doing this for the 'bad' ideas (just to note though @geekster, ideas are never crap, they are suited for something or not, and while they might not be suited for X they may well be the thing for Y, ideas are what made humans thrive, take the atom bomb f/e while the idea of massdestruction is pretty crap for those it concerns, M.A.D. has kept our world somewhat of a safe place for quite a few years. So idea's can only not be suitable for a certain context, but they are never crap), will atleast build up somewhat of a quotable list of Rocket thoughts, that helps make ideas better, or can be pointed at to stop some silly 'want/dont want' conversation...And another reason to go through the suggestion forum is that amids all that 'rubble' there are bound to be some gems ... even if its just 1-2% of all ideas, i bet if you knew for sure where to find a gem, if only 1-2% of everything you sift through is a gem, you would go for it. Another thing with 'ideas' is that the responses to them give likely the best feedback on the 'mood of direction' the community would like to go. Not that you have to implement those ideas that come with it, but the general feedback can be valuable in regards to evaluating other ideas (if they dont/do like this they likely (won't) like this too (either)... and ignoring part of your playerbase that is likely the part that spends most time thinking about your game and wants to help improve it, is a rather silly thing to do no? Why go to 4Chan to pick up ideas if you have a whole forumsection filled with specific ideas for your game... it almost feels like not taking people on this forum (as a whole) serious ...Anyways, some responses from dev's in any section of the board are greatly appreciated, by all that it concerns, if only to know that there is a chance the devs read your post and that each part of the community (whether they are interested in meme's or ideas or just rambling/ranting) are taken serious... 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aversionfx 63 Posted July 17, 2012 The majority of suggestions don't go anywhere because they are bad. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
roguetrooper 201 Posted July 17, 2012 With 400.000 players there are probably 400.001 imaginations of what the game should be like.The devs should just make their own alpha, then beta, then gold. Until then this breeding ground of stupidity should be closed or removed from this forum. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lady Kyrah 1110 Posted July 17, 2012 Well the point is to offer suggestions. There is no "implementation process" not by popularity, not by vote or anything.Post your suggestion and if the devs feel they are filling something that suit their game vision they might implement it.
