Community Ideas, why are they ignored?

[fillem]

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!

We understand where ur coming from but i think where the problem lies is some of the things that the developers see as a priority isnt a priority for the gaming community. And lets face it making changes that the community dont agree with isnt really smart because eventually there will be no community. And example of that is the Grenade changes put up a poll and see how many ppl actually vote YES to the change. Then put up another poll asking how many ppl want to see changes to the salvage matrix and chat ui and see the response form then. Im not saying that grenades are a bad idea but it should be an idea thats left till dl4 or 5.

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.

It is worse than before, I just can not fathom how they can do something like that. It flies in the face of common sense and logic.

There have been countless ideas for new content, and enhancement right here on the forums, but I’ve yet to see anything materialize in game.

It was a ploy to placate the masses. It worked for all of a week.

Remember that you said that the smaller things will be implemented in future patches. I dont really want DLC2 to be another big patch with tweaks and crap. That should not be DLC material.

Is there any footage of the DLC2 that we can watch from the livestream? Either on YouTube or ? Not sure where else I could watch it. I tried to find the livestream but I couldn't find it.

"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.

recycled NIM area?

What do you mean?

Thank you!

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.

I understand that and my response was to indicate that not everyone will like every idea thrown out there, and therefore will request that the idea not be implemented. As such, the paradox still stands.

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.

The problem with that then, it sets up unrealistic expectations with the players. "We would have some other things to be excited about" and then be just as quickly disappointed (to say the least) like the Raptor vehicle when something happens that prevents such ideas from actually being used.

recycled NIM area?

What do you mean?

The shown battle in the demo of the arkfall interior is the same room interior as the room you fight the final boss in the story mission with Nim in. Thus, the same design assets(that means in this case the room) are being reused(meaning recycled) for the use of the interior of the arkfall.

The implication being that instead of designing new things they are just taking things already existing in the game and reusing them differently due to lack of time and resources to make new ones.
