Community Ideas, why are they ignored?

[OverloadUT]

Really big content like what we showed on the DLC2 livestream takes quite some time to develop and has been in development for a while. However, even those kinds of suggestions are being listened to, discussed, and most definitely sometimes slotted in to future plans.

The smaller things like UI tweeaks and whatnot are the things we can turn around faster, and something the team is putting a big focus on right now, and you should expect to see some good suggestions implemented in future patches. But please remember that all development, even small things, does take time!

I get that's not 100% of the content, but it probably represents more than half if you look at what was delivered with DLC1.

Throw us a bone maybe? Some little nod to the community that lets us believe that sometimes your idea may become something in game.

What happened to Charlie? Was he going to make some kind of return or was the statement in the patch notes just a jab? Idea: make him the size of a Hulker and randomly spawn around overpass as an emergency. Wouldn't require a whole lot of effort, but would be entertaining and engaging.

Easily implemented things using existing mechanics, and graphics can provide entertainment.

Unfortunately, in the world of coding an MMO, what may seem like an easy and quickly implemented thing, but anything rarely is in coding this complex.

Aside from that, there is more than one side to any argument, idea, or suggestion. It never ceases to amaze me how often "the devs don't" listen is brought up by the side that doesn't get what they want, while the issue does not exist for the other side. Case in point, the idea to make Charlie into a Hulker sounds like garbage to me and I would never want to see that implemented in game. I think dev time could be better spent on making another storyline mission more than what we got with the Arenas? Who should the devs listen to, now?

"Really Big Content".........
Recycled Nim Arena, recycled mechanics from other things, recycled enemies.....
Yeah Really big content.

Sorry Oat, Gotta call BS on that.

DLC1 was disappointing in it's scope (Well the paid side), and DLC2 will be the same way.

I wasn't trying to say that any one individuals idea should be thrown out there for the dev's to consider. The Charlie/Hulker idea was just an example of how you can use existing mechanics/art already present to create something new.

Yeah Really big content.

Case in point, existing content re-purposed in way to create something different.

[CRIXDA]

Yeah.....
I am not going to try and have the dead horse wheeled out here so I can beat it some more.
Although I agree with the OP and I have even posted a similar thread wondering why player's suggestions seem to fall upon deaf ears,
I also understand that It does take time for code development and for all that it does to make anything that We players ask for even possible in-game. I would enjoy knowing what ideas are even being contemplated on being used in DLC in the future.
At least We would have some other things to be excited about.

they don't listen bro, if they did, why didn't they fix things like the ark predator huge bug?
or the clusternades not giving dmge score at arkfalls?

there is a lot of reward outfits that are bugged, and I got the same lame reply..

we know about it, but there is a lot of other things we are working on and trying to release, before we fix your earned outfit..

just go use another one that you earned..

got the email, they deff went in the wrong direction with this community and game..

it will now show the next time they try and come out with something new..

change your name trion, stop using rift as your backdrop, rift was good, but anything with your name on it now, isn't..

case in point, is these threads, this lil bit of dlc that everyone bugged you to death about, but out of my 92 friends, none came back for it..

Most have perm moved on, and its kinda lame that I still see ppl on here asking and trion to talk to you guys and get nothing real in return.

just like how we all asked for you to un nerf the cars and quads, there was a lot of things like this, we went into detail with during beta, we took our time and submitted real info and feed back to this company, yet today, right now..

With this new dlc and patches, there is real issues that still remain from beta,, and im not talking about some lame cry baby issues that have no real justification to gain attention..

but oh well, I trolled the forums just now to see what was going on, actually was looking to see if ppl finally got fed up enough with you to try and make a change so things like this don't keep happening to gamers..

You rooked ppl, royally..

Enjoy your profits, glad ppl still enjoy this game and they should, they paid for it, good money some of them..

they deserve free orange items, new outfits, everything, you made enough money off us, don't want to hear anything about server costs or nothing..

if anything you will reply to a thread to close it, or to ban or ?????

ive watched a lot of the mods come into a thread and reply to something that has no meaning in the thread at all,
then like myself I will took the time to help this community out, when most of the times if I came on here and talked, longer then one lame line of words I got flamed by the fanboys, which is fine, i like to fight, its why i liked this game until the craxy core changes, the lack of interaction with us, never fix real gameplay issues of fix our bug outfits and stuff before adding more to the store so we could give you more money?

really?

oh that's how you roll huh?
either way, hope the gamers of this game enjoy it, glad to have met some of yall, really enjoyed talking to ppl and helping them, but in return i got a few emails that just down right show how ignorant a company can be,

especially with dealing with the ones that matter, or that was only really here to help us, not cry about

"omg, blu has the immunizer and is wrecking everyone in pvp, 32 pages in one thread must nerf bs"

pvp was just so fun, lol, yea okay, infectors sucked, found a few that was actually fun in PVE, and you nerfed em into complete trash..

Next time i see the words TRION on anything, that's just what im going to think

your trying to figure this out as you go,
rift don't make you any kind of expert, yet a lot of you think you are..

Especially the DM's i had hours and hours of convo's with..

2 of em was great, one got laid off and the other one, idk..

Riot, Blizzard and other companys you are not, until you reach there status, listen to your ppl, maybe some of them can really help you, but i guess when your that paid and drinking starbucks and monster drink and got your own lil personal monster coolers under your desks, well, i guess you really didn't GAF..

I'm going to point this out -

At the VERY START of the PAX DLC2 demo, Dahanese specifically says that this is a "teaser based on what we feel comfortable enough showing you now, but it's not all that's coming in our next DLC"

Remember that 30 second teaser for the first DLC?

THAT WAS IT.

They showed the entire DLC in that 30 seconds. And I remember a while ago when I made a joke that the DLC would only have six hours of content. I overshot that ***** by miles.

Which begs the question, why do we still have a crappy chat system/UI design?

Did the Raptor in the teaser have a turret? I don't recall, but why not fix the Raptor so that people want the DLC for the vehicle alone.

I think it's actually worse than before.
