I'm a little surprised that Cryptic/Perfect World doesn't do more market research to gauge what types of enhancements players are most interested in. I've thrown together a little survey via SurveyMonkey, just for fun. It's simple, just 9 multiple-choice questions. If you'd like to participate, you can take it here:
Champions Online Player Survey 1
Again, this is just for fun--not endorsed by Cryptic, etc. It's a free SurveyMonkey account, so I think only the first 100 responses will be recorded (not sure if that will even be an issue.) I will share the results here in 1 week or whenever we hit the response cap, whichever comes first.

This is a really good way to figure out how forumites feel about the game, but I wish they would implement this sort of thing into the actual game itself though... maybe like a "Fill out this CO survey and get 100 zen for free!" type deal.
Also, you forgot to ask about lockboxes.
Also... even if these results back up my ideas 100%, I have to say that these cannot honestly be used to say anything about what direction the game should go, because again... it's just a forumite poll. :P

I'll put the summary results in a Google Doc spreadsheet and share it here when I get 100 responses. I can't easily export the data unless I pay up for a premium account, which is more than I want to spend, so I only want to create the results spreadsheet once.
Yes, the sample will be limited to just those who are active on the forum. No actual SCIENCE is being conducted here. But it's still kinda interesting.

1. First ? seems unfair. In chat channels might look like spam, and then he gets plonked for doing some research. This is safer.
2. No, the difference is almost everyone on the forums can jhcwthbbq existing content . This just isn't a very hard game. Nothing wrong with that.
3. The questions weren't acceptable? What? This last point I don't see room for compromise. They were properly phrased, germaine to the subject, etc etc etc.
**edit-voted, liked the questions
P.S. Feel free to direct people to the survey in-game, if you like. But I agree that there's a risk players in zone chat, for example, might not be as accepting of the idea.

The questions were fine. But I will agree that it would be nice to get other responses other than the forums echo chamber.
If there had never been a COH there would never have been a CO. :cool:
Think I might test that.
Test concluded: It let me fill it out twice. You may now all feel free to see any indication that the poll supports my ideas as grounds to accuse me of having sat here and repeatedly filled out the survey to skew the results o3o
My super cool CC build and how to use it.
It uses a cookie to try to prevent people from filling it out more than once. Of course, this is easily bypassed, so if someone really wanted to skew the results, they could (but how does that really benefit anyone?). It also records the IP addresses, so it's possible to determine if this is happening and potentially filter it out, although that's probably more effort than I'd be willing to put into this. I will say that I don't think sockpuppets are a problem currently--the results seem pretty normally distributed so far.

Those of you unhappy with the method are welcome to create a survey just for science, probably.

Nah see, it is us that can do what we want with your body. Not the other way around. Or, so says the hip kids.
Edit: Oh, and survey partaken.

What do you think the most popular mission/alert from the last year or so is going to be?

I'm hoping the Lemurian Invasion will take that spot.
It got my vote. Loved the atmosphere of that event; really hoping to see it roll back around soon.

Note that there are two tabs on the web page, one for Charts and the other for Tables of the responses.
What, if anything, did you find interesting or surprising? I'll post some of my subjective observations of the data tomorrow.
Cheers.

I'm surprised that no one selected that customization wasn't important. Well, not too surprised, I guess. :P
Very cool, thanks for doing this.
I also wasn't super surprised that FM and Sky Command did poorly but I was surprised that Lemurian Invasion, with it's incompleteness, unused assets, and bugs did so well.
Not surprised about the lack of "PvP Love" but considering how small the requests of that playerbase has been I don't see the issue with giving PvP some(not the best blah blah blah) rewards and a Questionite Daily. <shrugs>.
Overall, it was insightful and Cryptic North should run surveys like this. Nice work. :biggrin:

As expected, most of you are pvp haters. No surprise there aren't many pvpers posting, since cryptic has done a really good job of chasing them away.
Only thing I'm surprised at is that most of you don't rp much...and yet rp scored pretty well on being important to peoples' gameplay experience.

The fact is most of the people who use to PvP have left the game to go elsewhere as there are some things which make it simply unplayable.

I do think the definition of role-playing in games is broader, so the experience itself constitutes RP as in RPG/ARPG as oppose to actually RPing in character.
40% of people duel or play hero games at least occasionally
PvP hate? Really? Ok. Sure. Pardon me while I roll my eyes.
I'm not surprised people say they'd rather have new stuff instead of stuff that works. I am a bit disappointed.
