FIX RADIA- Too many Radiant threads. Malfunction.
Ok, this has been suggested(<--Irony?) many times before but Let players make ideas for new content.
Features:
-Has a preview server type of thing, where you can test out your creations. You can invite 30 people on to it at a time.
-There is a vote consisting of players and developers. At least one developer has to vote for an idea so it can be implemented. EG. 90% of the SK community, and 1 developer votes for dual-wielding. 5 developers and 10% of the SK community votes against dual wielding. Dual wielding is added. So Game-masters are a tie breaker essentially, and if they all vote against an idea no matter how many people support it, it is denied.
-It is hosted as a contest once or twice a year, and players are given 4 months notice(under which all designing equipment is unlocked for player use.) They are able to submit work at any given time, but after the deadline, no ideas are accepted. To clear up any confusion on how Game developers judge so much stuff, is that first a popular vote is placed down, and if at least 65% approves, it is looked at by developers. So, for the first 4-3 months, all ideas must be somewhat finished, then judged. Once judged, for the following 2 weeks, compromises are made between ideas, and some are changed/deleted , which narrows the content down more. After this, the idea makers have a month and a half to fix glitches, add more content (only if approved), test their content until it is finally released in a MEGA-PATCH. (Which will cause trouble for most people when updating unfortunately)
-There will be a guide to making and programming ideas. Along with fixing glitches.
Pros:
-Game masters have a lot less work to do.
-Players finally feel after a long time that Game Masters care for the game.
-NO MORE RE-SKINS! Re-skins are allowed under very small circumstances.
-More original ideas. Many of us are kids that have endless imaginations, making the most intricate events, story-lines, missions, characters, sprites, enemies, and gear.
-A plethora of possibilities awaiting you. There will be a world so big, with so much to offer, it will be a thrill every minute of the way.
-A bigger player-base. Many people leave SK because they are bored, or because of glitches etc. Most of this will be dealt with, attracting more players.
Cons:
-Game masters don't really do their job...
-Ideas might interfere with each other, so developers have to make compromises to fix it, which will be annoying for them.
-Developers will probably tweak many ideas, again which is very time consuming.
-A LOT of ideas. So, the community will be very busy judging ideas.
Again NOT a suggestion, this is a collaborative idea assessing how this would help or not help if this was implemented. So no +1 or -1. This is NOT a suggestion I repeat. Feel free to ask questions if you don't understand. I know I messed up something here.
"Let players make ideas for new content."
^is a suggestion.
This is a suggestion precisely because it is an idea assessing how it would help if it were implemented. That's the whole point of suggestions. Why, do you have something against the Suggestions subforum?
