Think a Cryptic made poll would possibly be good idea

startrek1234567

I was thinking with a poll made by them, things *might* go a bit smoother in terms of what players want vs what Cryptic or PWE wants.

Since it would be Cryptic making the poll, they would be able to list what they feel comfortable putting in game, like new ships/ship upgrades, new c-store offers, missions?(i don't think so tbh, best leave those to cryptic), new changes in UI and game mechanics(like extra trait slot, etc.), and so on.

Again, i think this might be a good idea because cryptic can list stuff they would be comfortable with putting in game and we might get something we want out of it.

Example Poll(not Cryptics view, just a example of stuff they *might* be comfortable putting in game)

-Ship Interior from TNG that is like a bundle(like Belfast)
-C-store one time service that cost 500 zen and gives you 1 extra trait slot or give free to lifers and gold members.
-Suliban Playable species
-Cardassian playable species

That is just a short poll as a example.

Another reason that this may be a good idea is so that most STO players can get involved. A lot of people dont like the forums and some just dont want to take the time to post on them. This would make it easy and quick for everyone to make their opinion known. Just a simple log in, take your time thinking, and vote and submit. And the majority vote is what is put in game.

Well, what players want is not always feasible nor cost effective. Also, they did a poll a long time back on which Delta Quadrant species we wanted to see, and the Krenim won.

How much Krenim content is coming to us?

I would be quite interested to see this. Possibly not as generic as you have it but getting a bit more specific, for example "Where do you want us to take the story next", "Which species do you want to add to the Romulan Republic", "Which faction do you want to see added next" (because let's face it, after the Cardassians are added there isn't an obvious answer).

thats kinda why i posted this, some people demands on forums dont work with cryptic or wont work period in game. This way cryptic can express what they are fine with putting in and players can decide, its kind of a win-win

I like the idea.

If Cryptic did give the options on the poll as suggested and whatever the players voted for was implimented.

I think it would be a great way to let the players have a positive input into the game going forward.




STO is not dead.
Long live STO.

not as many responses as i though there would be. But thanks so far for the positive feed back

The problem with this sort of thing, laudable as it is, is lead time.

We know that substantive decisions have already been made for quite some time to come.

This is a good thing, means Cryptic can take the long view.

However, it also means that any results from a poll such as has been suggested will only occur months, even a year or two down the line.

The legendary patience of the internet is not so good at those sort of timescales.

suppose that is true, kinda makes taking feed back harder sense they planned a ton of stuff already. Im hoping on maybe smaller things for now may work(like c-store services, were thinking of a discount weekend, which type would you want?, type stuff)
