Number of updates: 1
Suggestions: 150
NEXT UPDATE: 27-04-2014 (Sunday)
(will bring first votes and new suggestions)
Intro:
Ok so theres been a chaos regarding suggestion threads on forum featuring ideas from various players. I decided to gather all of them into one place and let people know that THIS is THE place to report ideas and vote for or against them. This way everyone will be able to keep track with everything and add their vote to help developers know better what the hell do we even want from them.
I looked through the entire Belzebub forum to gather ALL the ideas. I skipped very few of them that were already outdated ("Cain's identification could be faster!") or simply ridiculous ("screw Diablo I, make a Belzebub mod for Diablo II !!1!"). I did this in chronological order (from the oldest to the newest). I didnt include who came up with which one as its not a crucial information.
Since forum's poll option features only the option for a one question and many answers (not MANY questions and 2 answers) i had to make things the way they are here, by a list, and voting will have to make place by typing one's opinion (i didnt want to create some survey outside of the forum, lets keep things here).
The rules of this thread are:
- - This post containing the list of suggestions will be updated from time to time after gathering a group of new suggestions from the upcoming posts by users and new votes about the old ones. Every update will be announced by a new post so you wont miss it. Lets say the list will be updated once per a week.
- Dont edit your posts after the votes update. If you had a change of mind make a new post and dont forget to remind that you change your vote.
- Every suggestion from the list can be voted "for" or "against" (or simple "Yes" or "No" if you prefer that). If you arent sure whats your opinion about something then skip it and dont vote at all, move onto the next one.
- Keep your answers clear, for example add a "Yes" or "No" at the beginning of them (so it will be easier to count the votes). After that you may start elaborating your answer if you wish.
- if a "yes" or "Agree" or "no" or "disagree" doesnt fit your answer then it means your opinion is invalid (for example it doesnt give an clear answer). in that case try to use different words in stating it.
- if you want to adress the issue mentioned in the list BUT solve it in a DIFFERENT way than stated, then make a NEW suggestion.
- keep your new suggestions in their own list inside your post instead of introducing them as a part of your opinion. this will help with gathering them up and adding to the main suggestions list later on.
- Only the votes from posts in this thread will be counted, so even if you already said what you think about something you have to at least say "Yes" or "No" again. And by the way this way anyone will be able to count the votes to check if counts are fair.
- In your opinion you cannot be ambivalent ("yes and no"), you have to be either for or against, or not vote at all. Unclear votes will not be counted.
- Dont type useless votes like "i dont know" or "makes no difference to me". Just skip instead.
- No matter how many yeses or noes will you type it will count as just one "yes" or "no"
- Positively popular suggestions from the list (having much more upvoted than downvotes) will be distinguished from the rest with a bigger font size. While posting make sure to always make your mind about these!
- If you want to add something new, dont report bugs. For these we have threads about the new version of the mod being releases. Here we talk only about suggestions.
- Also, try to express your idea the way it could appear on the list: not too long, not too coomplicated. You can elaborate it in your post if there is a need for it, but remember that your essay wont appear on the list.
- Also, firstly check out if idea you want to suggest isnt on the list already.
- Mind the fact that you dont have to go through all the suggestions at once. You may deal with it in portions, for example state your opinion on first 50 suggestions in one post, then next 50 two days later in another post, and so on.
There are many suggestions gathered. I know it may seem scary but after the first round it will be easy to keep up with new ones.
