Let's Settle This For Good! Community Poll Is Live! - NOT HTC Created!

[hazmatt]

I did read some of the questions. But even if I didn't read the questions, it's a stupid pole because it has zero weight to anything that goes on here. You're going to get only a few people that happen to see this thread answering questions and then you're going to come back with a conclusion that doesn't mean Jack squat. Lol.

So yeah, it's completely worthless and stupid.

The problem here is like I've said many times before, HT only listens to a few people. You could have a poll that said 10000 people wanted something, but if one of the people he listens to didn't want it, then it wouldn't happen. That's what I've told LilMak over and over. His ideas are good but some animals are created more equal then others. Don't hold your breath

Not sure you would quantify that? Having trusted advisors that you’ve known for a long time is not the same as ignoring everyone. Most of this is o Lt ever discussed in here by small number of humans and the occasional bot.

I expected nothing from the results, it was just a poll to have some fun and add more discussion points to stale decades old arguments.

I thought the poll was fun.

I bet you're fun at parties 

How about a Furball Lake option 

 

Checking out the poll, Dad.

Checking out the poll, Dad.

Enjoy. Hoping to do more!

[Dadtallica]

I will say after a little less than a day and I’m quite surprised that some of the answers. Thanks to everyone who gave their two cents so far. Pass it on to your squaddies.

Not holding my breath. Just throwing the idea out there until there is some response (feel free to PM/email/call me Dale and I’ll hold that conversation in confidence if desired). In HT’s defense of ignoring polls and players, there is logic to it. Sometimes what’s good from a player perspective is not good from a game perspective. Someone has to be the adult in the room. I get that. However, we as players/customers do have a voice and many of us have been right about issues in the past. A lot of what HT is trying to address now (ENY/GB and the like) are problems that are, at the least, magnified by AWACS or, at worst, a direct response to it.

Here is what I know as facts.

The air game was objectively better before AWACS. There could be a litany of reasons for this that I don’t have access to or may have missed entirely. But I have listed many times in many different ways how it was subjectively better before.

Players quit because of it. Not one or two. But many. It didn’t happen immediately as a mass exodus but it did happen. It may not have been the only reason but it was cited many times on these message boards as a final straw.

At least one former player has stated pretty recently that they would give the game another a shot if it was reversed and half their squad also quit because of it.

Several players who thought it was a great idea at first have reversed that assessment. Also, many have told me via voice comms that they totally agree that AWACS needs to be addressed. Have I counted? No. But it’s more than a few.

So…
While I might not be one of the people who can bend the ear of HT, I believe I’m an adult in the room when it comes to this one thing which has absolutely hurt the sweet balance this game enjoyed between full blown sim and playability. So I refuse to let it go. I have many other minor grievances with the game but they’re all small potatoes comparatively.

[Dadtallica]

It definitely has one of the larger deltas and the results so far almost 2 to 1 wanting it changed.

[Dadtallica]

Here is a snapshot of the results so. A few surprises in there so far after less than a week. I’m going to leave it up a little while on so feel free to pass it on.

Dadtallica’s Community Preference Poll

[Animl-AW]

I don’t see how many players voted

Was it also offered to players in MA. Since a lot don’t frequent the bbs.
Otherwise its just polling about 20% of total players or less

[turt21]

well done Dad. Its very interesting about the bombing selections.

Was pretty clear about expectations.

I will definitely reveal how many at the end there were. I’m fairly certain everyone in the BBS definitely voted. I didn’t get a chance to last long enough in the FSO to even talk about it. I’m also not trying to bug people with it other than here. It’s just for fun.

Plus right now only 40% of visitors are actually submitting a response and only half of them chose to remain anonymous. So a lot of people don’t want to weigh in I guess. But 40% for a consumer survey conversion is pretty damn good in my experience lol.

I could definitely use everybody sharing it with their squads if you or anyone else doesn’t mind. I would love to do more of these. I’m letting it marinate for at least a week to catch anyone who hasn’t been through here yet. Haven’t seen it on the clipboard message hahaha!

In case anyone asks because I’ve been pretty clear in all the poll information and in here that. I’m in no way expecting anything to come of it. I just think it’s a good way to add some math to our same old stale arguments. Someone just started another Dar thread lol 

[Dadtallica]

well done Dad. Its very interesting about the bombing selections.

Thanks T! I was expecting to see Level bombing higher up the list myself. Pas it on to your crew.

[Dadtallica]

I don’t know where all this talk of pols came from lately…

But anyway, I’m gonna catch this one off sometime tomorrow Sunday, November 1 so pass it on if you haven’t or check it out.
