If that Founders Falls thread is supposed to be an example of anything negative, no one in this thread or any suggestion thread is EVER going to have the same perception. My perception is that the OP and others jumped into correct the misconception that they were asking for FF to be done away with and made into an Echo. What they clarified was that they wanted an additional echo zone alongside FF. Then someone suggested an AE. That's called discussion. If that's an example of what folks are against we have a serious problem. lol EDIT: The serious problem being humanity and our lack of being able to have reading comprehension and understanding. And the last post in that thread literally says it would be a neat idea to have an alternative zone.

Yes, which to me was a ALWAYS a strange assumption for a volunteer team of HCs size. Some folks must assume that HC is 300 people working on the team. LMAO.

Sidekick sounds great, but that is not at all what I think the OP was referring to. Or what is traditionally thought of when talking about using AI voices. EDIT: Had the OP specifically talked about using SideKick I think the responses and conversation would have gone differently.

This sounds fine. Now that the OP made it clear that the original FF would not go away (I didn't think that was what they meant originally) I see no issue with this suggestions happening when the team has time.

Thanks for saying this. It's been said multiple times in the thread, but seeing an actual dev say this is good.

I like this refinement to the suggestion

I’d actually like this to be a thing for the bartenders in pocket D also

Interesting. Good to know this the next time I am Tip hunting.

This is a cool idea. I believe Champions Online has something very similar.

The dev team has already said it brings them benefit. That’s really the only opinion that matters on whether this sub forum is valuable. They have stated it’s valuable in multiple threads and on discord.

I think this is an excellent idea!

also this is a very very good point. If you think your suggestion is solid gold with no flaws (it usually isn’t) just post and move on. neither you or the people responding to your post have zero ability to decide if a change is made or not the devs had said this repeatedly in the forums and in closed and open beta. Post it and if they like it they’ll implement it . . . Sometimes in the far future. if the devs don’t think it’ll be good for the game then it won’t go in no matter whatever the back and forth is.

The success rate does not include the suggestion being put live. They ane under no obligation to put every great suggestion in game. They don’t have the manpower for that. It’s not a paid dev team. That’s an unrealistic expectation. If that’s what we are counting as success of a suggestion then we might as well just say now that 99% of them will fail. Want to reverse that, then maybe we suggest how the team can get more volunteers?

Anything that gives more info on a character before I log into them would be great. Vet Levels and inf on the character would help at least.

More costumes are always nice. Good idea!

This sounds pretty neat.

Kinda what I was trying to say earlier. I'm not seeing this rash of "idea police" that is rampantly destroying this section of the forums. Glad to see I was not the only one. /shrug.

And many folks disagree and say that it's not counter productive. /shurg

IMO IOs gave the game a layer of complexity and variety it was sorely lacking prior to them existing. We agree to disagree.

Okay cool we can agree to disagree that it’s a problem on the forums. You think it is. Some folks agree, some disagree. Moving on on that point.

No but if you can defend your suggestion, It may help a dev in the future who reads it to consider that it is an actual good idea, or think of a way to implement it while taking out the negative parts that folks who initially disagreed don’t like. Discussion both negative and positive has made things the devs implement better and better in Closed Beta for instance.

And I’d argue the mechanic is working just fine. So I disagree.

As to the bolded, the intelligent discussion going on now for 3 pages makes me strongly disagree with this opinion. And it sure as hell is an opinion not a fact. The multiple suggestions threads still being opened daily by new and old posters are like is also evidence that this is just your opinion, not a fact.

The bolded. So very much the bolded. As someone working in IT for the past 20 years, I can tell you that in that field you better be prepared to defend and explain why you idea is a good one. Maybe I’ve just gotten used to that type of feedback loop.

You have it because they want the feedback. Them wanting and having the player feedback has absolutely nothing to do with them having the resources (they don’t) to implement even 1 percent of 1 percent of what’s in the suggestions forums. Also some suggestions they read may give them an idea how to do something else, how to morph that idea into something THEY (the devs) may actually want to do. There is never anything wrong with getting feedback or leaving the door open to get that feedback. That in no way shape or form is an unspoken contract that that feedback will be acted on.
