Suggestions Suggestions Suggetions

[Michaelvoodoo25 3120]

More of a but erm.......

I read these forums lots of times a day and I am amazed at the depth and scope of some ideas.

There are some really good suggestions but what I wonder is, who on the Dev team reads them and takes anything away? Some of the suggestions are absolutely brilliant and no doubt should be incorporated into the SA. But I get the feeling that DayZ SA is gonna take some time in itself before if any suggestions are actually used. Like all new games bugs and features will need to be corrected before new additional stuff is added.

Is it only me who see's the SA as being just like the Mod? update, fix bugs,update, fix bugs, once in a while a new addition is added, update, fix bugs etc etc....

Some of the ideas will require a lot of time to implement and will undoubtedly come into issues with the engine abilities so some obviously will not be added (Or better still not added yet as they will need further work on them) I read Rocket has said he is not in touch with some modders so I was wondering could these be added later or put under review?

Has there been a memo I missed? Did someone say "Yes we will look at suggestions and use some not already in the great scheme of things" I know there are interviews and Q & A's but some of these are fragmented and all over the place giving some misconception to the fans of DayZ.

SO......

If some of the ideas are being looked at, could we not have some sort of post on the forums on what we know will be in the SA? Actual information as a rolling log very similar to the update log. It could be locked and only updated by the Admin in here so's we know that the facts are right and not made up points to confuse people.

I think this would be possible and as we are expecting a release this year so I'm sure the facts are actually known. It would only have to contain the info we know are in the SA and would help us Fans out and perhaps wet our appetites waiting for it.

The only negative I can see would be the release of information perhaps Rocket and Co didn't want to be released, as we know the basics, new map, new areas etc would it matter if we knew?

Just wondering.

This, all of this. It would be great to know what will be incorporated, or at the very least what is being looked at. It would also be nice if the dev team working on the SA could have someone designated to filter this forum, a staggering task, no doubt, and post a thread containing what they're finding adequate and fitting for the SA version.

PLEASE make your THREAD SUBJECT short and *specific* like "Suggestion: More ways to make fire!"... Not "Here is a bunch of stuff I want"

[Michaelvoodoo25 3120]

Wot?

[birdman 108]

PLEASE make your THREAD SUBJECT short and *specific* like "Suggestion: More ways to make fire!"... Not "Here is a bunch of stuff I want"

Otherwise you shall be known as. . . "apache25"!

[Michaelvoodoo25 3120]

I found neither comments relevant to the subject. So I had a long subject thread name, wow, im sure an admin would have deleted it if it was deemed offensive.

[Gordon Axeman 191]

apache25 is on the peak of the fame now...

Not long, non-specific.

EDIT: I was joking anyway, lighten up.

I think you simply don't understand why they want us to do that

it's in YOUR interest to give the thread a proper name!

Rocket is acutally reading ths threads!!

Since he ain't got time to read this subforum 24/7 he might use the search function!

Eg "hmm where currently working on XY let's see how the community thinks about XY maybe we can get some good ideas"

then rocket searches for "XY" but your thread name is "JKHDKGHSDJGHDSDSJL" .....

A suggestion in the suggestion forum looking for suggestions, I find the title appropriate, and you find fault with a title? A simple no would have been fine, but you want to moan about a title?

Come on, I have never seen Rocket post in the suggestions, and if you read the OP you'd understand why I posted! As a means for communication from the devs to us. I'd hope he looked through the forums so he can get a general idea of some of the good ideas.(which the post was, so I'm told)

[birdman 108]

A suggestion in the suggestion forum looking for suggestions. . .

Actually you misspelled the last "suggestion" in the title so Rocket might miss the whole thread. :(

Replies to suggestions are good! This is how an idea changes, grows, and improves. With the thoughts and suggestions made by others. But for it to belong here it needs to stay ON TOPIC. If you don't know what that means you probably shouldn't post.

lol

[magicool 115]

I'm not moaning I just gave u some tips

jeez what is it with ppl these day gettin everything wrong on purpose

Rocket don't POSTING in this subforum doesn't mean he does not READ in it

(you see the difference in the two words reading <-> posting?)

inb4 "oh dats a fake account an if it's real he is todallyy lying aboud id!!!"

Sorry fella, I died too many time today in fallujah! Don't ever take me personally!

Ps I'm smiling at you, but the bloody iPad won't show me the smilies.

agree with you, although little information we know about the SA, we must consider that the game developers know the market likes to be surprised, so no matter what, they will not speak everything. But the point of saying that its a mod and not really a game so the way he approaches the public must be different, he must make a marketable game for a bigger audience than us, although we are 1,2M and possibly, we the players who still play might be the core audience. Well, also its dangerous your proposition, because theres something called industrial espionage, studios are somewhat like industries.

But i believe they will use the oficial tumblr to leak out information for the fans, oficial news of how its going, theres no need for a list.

[mr_chabowski@live.co.uk 2416]

I was just having a laugh,

To be honest the OP is a good concept, but people have to realise it's a lot of work to filter/manage thousands of post in a forum, or compile lists of what will and won't be included, and it's a lot of work that the devs working on the standalone don't have time for at the moment. I would rather let them handle these issues as they see fit, and try not to worry about it. Have a little faith.

I'm pretty sure there will be a massive press release before the release hits (at the demand of the community no doubt)

I must say I never even considered industrial espionage, (but looking at what WarZ devs are showing off I don't think there's much need to worry)

[Michaelvoodoo25 3120]

Yeah, I'm down with that, but a little info doesn't hurt! Not sure about the espionage element, I see the good in things so have no notion of shitting on people, no matter how apache25 they are!

But hindsight yeah, not everyone likes all the information up front, they could always not look! Lol

I think what we need is a button Rocket can use (like giving Beans) where he can either agree with a suggestion (implying he may add it) or totally flame it.

That way Rocket can flame the idea of punishing bandits and we never see another thread like it again.

Mountain Dew? :thumbsup:

How chuffed would you be if Rocket gave you a Mountain Dew?!

[Michaelvoodoo25 3120]

DG, you might wanna make another post with that idea m8, as its good enough all on its own. It would make sense having a measuring stick of sorts.

But for players as well as Rocket.

The Problem of the Suggestion Jungle is that there is no VoteSystem. With a VoteSystem people can write they Idea´s into it and all others can make a Vote. After a Time a HitList will come and make clear what most people like and it helps that good Idea´s not will not suggestet many times.

But it seem´s to me nobody from DevTeam cares about to clear up the Suggestion Jungle. Same Problem with the people in the forum.

I suggest two Idea´s to help and you can see the attention and support is very low.

Dev Team Clear up Suggestion

VoteSystem for a automatic clear up System

Rocket takes time out of most days to read the suggestions and other things on the forums, but he regrets that sometimes he can't read them all, which is why it would be best to put any standalone suggestions in the standalone suggestions thread so rocket can keep track of suggestions (for anyone wanting to make suggestions for the standalone), Hope this helps.

[Riem 164]

It's unfortunate that he cannot read all of these suggestions, but placing some of the more complex ones in the main suggestion thread would not allow them to be as well fleshed out, because other people would be adding their suggestions on top of it. Rocket should have someone to organize this for him, or several someones.

[deadlykenny 37]

He does....The forum team
