Question About Suggestions

[Shadowood]

Yes, I am an ass for asking the last time when a voodoo suggestion/major game suggestion was created.

My opinion, you are insisting things with no proof.'

"They have questions? BAN THEM!"
"Someone is asking when the last time a suggestion was created? ADMIN BAITING!!!!!

So you're not going to shed light on this, because... someone called you on your shit. Seriously, what were you trying to achieve by posting this?

"Shed light" on what exactly? I said what I meant by the statement.

What have you called me out on exactly? The fact I am asking about when the last time a voodoo suggestion or game mechanic has been approved?
Out of the others that viewed the thread, you are the only one who cares to proclaim such.
And just maybe Shadowood, I was curious, but who knows, apparently questions = admin baiting.

Instead of answering, lets just poke shit of the questioner; a great idea indeed.

the problem is that you can find the answers yourself with a little effort.
because of that the question becomes loaded.

It's just how you went about it Chin.. Apologize if I am wrong, but it just seems like you were trying to prove a point that didn't need proving. You insisted several times for someone to give you knowledge of the last player suggested item implemented in the game. And thus, this is what I based assumption off of. A kid trying to prove a point acts the same way.

A very old player, was in The Pirate Kings when it first began, I believe... Did he achieve anything? Not sure, best to ask Black Sparrow on his achievements...

Danik the greedy took his sotls, thats all I know.

( Please note Danik, this is a joke )

Amazing what you can find with little effort...

Has there ever been a voodoo suggestion or hell any type of major game play suggestion that has been made by a player and created?

YES!!! PLENTY!

Unfortunately, they are not all so well organized but you can find some at Implemented thread here:

Hey, I found something proposed by you there: viewtopic.php?f=19&t=2740 (but this is not major I know).

There are some players that have really helped us move forwards the game (you can find them in-game with a special achievement by their names. For example, Skyhawk ( http://s2.piratesglory.com/index.php?pa ... ds&id=2708 ) has been our main source for a lot of pirate features, mostly thanks to this topic here: viewtopic.php?f=4&t=468&hilit=pirate+wishlist We still refer to this topic, although now a bit obsolete but we want to fulfill HIS WISHLIST!. He is also the man who designed bounties in detail. For anyone wondering: NO! We do NOT know Skyhawk. Skyhawk is NOT an admin. Skyhawk is a player like all you.

Credits Exchange, is the latest example of a player who started it as an idea, PERSUADED us to prioritize it and helped us with details. Thanks to Haron we got this feature and thanks to him we got it a lot faster too. This reminds me that he deserves a Major Design Contribution achievement.

Captain Log which we currently develop (among other things) is a player idea with lots of different players that have already contributed ideas to it.

However, to be frank, it is pretty rare to have a player design a whole big feature by themselves like Credits exchange and bounties. Surely they have been more but the major role of the contributions usually refer to parts of the whole feature. The good thing is that there are plenty of quality participants. Most features after version 1 have heavy player contributions.

A good example to this are Banks. Banks is one of the biggest things and we have relied heavily on players to develop it. Once we developed it, we kept communication open with bankers and kept receiving their ideas. Their ideas are ofter transformed to suggestions. Even if this suggestion is a brand new thing, it still came out of players feedback.

Regarding voodoo, most voodoos (they are not that many as you think) that have been released after 1st release, are a result of player ideas. When we issued our 2nd batch, we did it with the players hand by hand: here is the result: viewtopic.php?p=6490#p6490 As you see, most of the new cards are all player suggestions.

Laws are done in similar fashion.

The reason why you see my name in most of the topics, is not because I or the game are the authors. It is because I am the one who organizes all ideas and suggestions. Even in Credits Exchange, the forum topics are mine. This is a big part of what I do as a community administrator.

So ultimately, every post matters. Naturally, we cannot (and we do not want) to implement everything. We are picky too. We want the best. We want balance. We want the game to be fun. Deep down the road, the game has some characteristics that must be maintained. No matter what though, everyone is helping us go forward for the best of the game. The better the game, the better entertainment for you.
