just curious
has anything on suggestions ever actually make it into the game
idk i like to browse people ideas and some of them are good and some are not but im just wondering why would you post anything if nothing on this sub forum has been put up for thought among the game developers.
ill probably move this thread in a min.
There are way too many suggestions and SK has a relatively small team. Sprites took them more than 6 months...
i guess people like to put ideas on the sub forum and discuss it with other people and that's cool i guess but i wonder if anyone knows if anything has actually been added to the game that was suggested on the forums.
The Auction House came from the suggestions forum, and so did the Go Solo feature.
Also, I'm sure free elevators was suggested at least 5000 times.
And pets. And revamped Guild Halls. And the removal of energy revives in Lockdown. Furthermore, fiends have been rebalanced with Gorgos and the Greaver buff which was much needed and probably requested. Let's not forget compounds, some of the best level design SK has seen. Much appreciated by me, at least. People just hate on Gorgos and minis because they don't fancy learning how to fight new enemies.
No, of course not. OOO hates our ideas along with their text. They just like their ears tickled. The Suggestions forum is there so they can make fun of our silly suggestions we give without any real knowledge of how things work. And as for the suggestion there that did make it in game, those were suggested by alts so that it would look like they took us seriously.
No, every feature implemented in the game the past 3 years were never once suggested by anyone. It's an amazing display of probability.
Lots of things from Blast Networks to Changing of Personal Colour. From Guild Halls to Missions. From Battle Sprites to Free Elevators. From making Silversix/Blackhawk dealing unsplit damage to removing Sleep resistance on Jelly Gear. And list go on.
There was already some threads like this in the past with full list. I'll try to find them. Maybe.
It took Severage 1 long year or so to get his idea through of revamping the GH's, but that's about the only suggestion in a long time that's happened.
Ok, here comes short list of sample implemented suggestions (in no particular order)
1. The Ability to Change Knight's Eyes
2. Guild Halls
4. Pets (at first as accessories, now as Battle Sprites)
5. Total earned Crowns shown after arcade run/mission
6. Heat Amplifiers
7. Party Finder (wasn't it Fehzor, who suggested it first?)
8. Turrets from other families then Constructs (we got Howlitzers and Polyps)
9. Beasts and Slimes dealing piercing damage
10. The ability to kick people from parties/go solo
12. Changing of Personal Colour
13. Missions (there was more of those)
14. Swords that deal Piercing damage (rapiers)
15. Auction House
16. Buying Unique Variants for gear
17. Removing energy cost from elevators and crafting (plenty of those, here's one from 2011)
18. Gear that increase chance of hearts to be dropped
19. Unbounding items with energy (this one actually also suggest missions/quests)
20. Making Silversix and Blackhawk dealing non-split damage
21. Guild Notice (implemented as message of the day)
22. Health bars for monsters
list goes on...
Note that most of things were suggested more then once, so provided links are just samples.
I'll try to provide links for more of above things... later... maybe. Now off to bed.
On my opinion, the suggestion subforum works kinda like a research forum.
People do suggestion.
OOO looks what is proposed.
The team discuss what the players want and your opinions.
OOO makes content(or not).
Look Battle Sprites. There was people that asked for skills. There was people that asked for pets. They took both and mixed on one.
The mist energy removal was a thing that players requested before. And trying to attend to this requirement, OOO came with the forge and a lot of changes.
On my vision, they read what we suggest, but use the suggestions to take a base on what they will work. They see what people want and try to satisfy us on their own way.
Just team pvp has been suggested before. In Preview there was the freeforall SB, but now they have LD and BN.
Let's see...there was Chaos set buff thread somewhere, we got a Fiend boss (2 of them actually), some random monster buffs and nerfs, new bosses have been suggested, they added 5 new bosses with the Missions update, and one more for the Battle Sprite update (Though you can't really say it's hard). GH thread by Severage (I remember that), and some other stuff that I'll find later.
ooo doesn't listen to my suggestions, therefore, they shucks.
Shield bash was sort-of-in-a-way suggested by me, although my suggestion was a new shield line, not an ability.
In the Testing Forums, there are a lot of little things constantly suggested and implemented (when the preview server is up). Off the top of my head, giving the Maskeraith's Cloak an offensive bonus and buffing the Seraphynx's primary skill.
Yes.
Why is this in the suggestions subforum?
