Wishlist Forum

[The Fugitive]

Over the years I've seem many a wish answered in the game. As for a plane, the B29 was a "new wish" at one time, and as far as I know only one person asked for the M-18, well he asked a million times but we got it  Some of the arena changes seemed to have been started by a player and tweaked by HTC. I'm sure if you wanted to spend the time you could find a couple dozen things that have been wished for on the boards and are now in the game.

The wish list servers multiple purposes.

1. On occasion players do come up with new ideas we had not thought of before. If they are good ideas, and simple, they are almost always implemented quickly.

2. Other times major changes that we know need to be done are brought back to our attention. The rework of the chat windows was this type of change.

3. Drastic game play suggestions rarely get implemented as requested. But they do on occasion spark ideas to implement a game play idea that is similar to what was suggested.

Which one? and how do you know that it's going to be implemented? HTC usually does not give out such information.

The pink text for special events to announce when the event is about to run. Implemented about two years ago.

Does the wishlist forum actually make a difference on what HTC adds to AH?
Every time they want to know our opinion they make a poll. In the past 6 years I have not seen a update that was bad, sure they were a few bugs here and there but overall HTC makes good decisions. The only reason people here complain about it is because they don't like change, not because the updates are actually bad.
How often does someone bring up a good idea that HTC never though of and it got implemented? Seems like almost never.
I also don't remember the last time I seen a new wish, all of them were wished for thousands of times. But when a completely new topic does come up do the numbers of people saying "+1" & "-1" really matter? If HTC does not like the idea they wont add it, if they like it they will, I really doubt a whole bunch of people saying "+1" will really change their minds.

Don't get me wrong I'm not saying we should remove the wishlist forum, because if we do all the wishes would just be in the general discussion forum. I'm just thinking if it's worth the time actually reading thous topic and discussing it, seems like what we say there does not make much of a difference.

What do you guys think?

Really?  I see wishes implemented into the game quite often.

They HAVE pulled a number of good ideas from the wishlist forum, FYI.

They've also pulled some true stinkers like the Off hours auto #$%#. Careful what you wish for.

I see, thanks for explaining.

That's because we wish for absolutely everything, even an F-22.

No "we" don't.  I've seen many wishes applied to the game that has nothing to do with aircraft or gv's.

Well that just shows that HTC knows what to add without our help and backs up my point in the OP.

Not sure if it was the same wish, but recently someone posted an idea and Hitech replied that it would be in the next update.

It seems that whats posted here does make a difference and "they" do reply.

[MachFly]

Yes

HiTech actually explained it for us a few posts up, but thanks for clarifying.
