Please post if you would like to see a Poll feature added to the forums

[hey u]

Here's the thing with the suggestions forums: we read it, but other than replies and views, you can't really weight what's in there. It's a good place for a full dump and it gets read, but we need something more robust to gauge interest. Hence our most recent go at it.

Suggestions aren't going away - we need 'em.

How about this. I have money in the bank with nothing in this game to spend it on. You want something more robust how about you get people who work on this game to go up in there and talk to people.

I will say it is nice to hear info from you but in my opinion dahanese you just don't cut it. I have read your posts and you really have no idea where this game is going to me. You seem to me like you can't TALK to us and say wtf is going on.

Yes you CAN really weight everything in there. It is almost everything this game is missing and needs. Talk to players some more. Heck why not get some of your bug/issue team to go up on xbox ps3 and pc and ask people to show them where something is wrong. I think if you were to go to almost any person and ask them to show you a glitch or bug they know he or she could find you one fast.

I bet that person could lead you to an alpha bug the way try'n dev team has failed at fixes...

We'd likely use a more robust system than just forum polls (at least for dev uses) and control the questions/surveys ourselves to get the data we need.

I understand the thought to use a more robust system but, IMO, forum polls STARTED by TRION can be yet another useful tool to gather a 'sense of the community'. OTOH, I would be very much against user created polls. They nearly always cause even more forum rage.

My thoughts exactly. They see the complaints, and they probably think oh great another whiner post of issues but they don't see any real numbers.

If they started putting polls out there, not only would they cut the ******** of other words people are throwing at them but it would be numbers that get right to the point and could really be a time saver on what they would need to fix first.

Text is also real easy for people to ignore when they are on crunch time to get things done.

They have a suggestions box through Google but that too is so massively overran with everyone posting ideas from the useful to the "I have just found another area to post my complaints" posters that its not any better than the forum. I have been on it and thought hey this is pretty cool at first but then I really started seeing the traffic and left it at that.

I will applaud Trion on their most recent patch for consoles and I have never seen my game run so smoothly, but as a word of advice they really need to start throwing polls at us to respond to, to really narrow down the work they would need to do to improve the game, especially when it's about technical issues.

My suggestion would be to create a log section kinda like the Developer section where access is limited and put a poll there with Crashes, Lag, ect being the topics of the poll so people can just post their issue in poll form and it could have a feature to where it will prevent spam as well, like allow you to only vote once in a 24hr period.

Just my suggestion if they are wanting technical feedback from us.
