Porter2455 Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I have been speaking with players, and many people have suggested that it would be nice to see a way of giving player input through the server directly. While the forums are nice, a lot of people simply do not take the time to go to the forums to put input about updates/ suggestions for future updates. A public poll page to gather opinions on future updates, whether a map should be removed or not, etc, would gather a much wider audience than polls on here. Similarly, a potential announcement board for future events, double point days, or if the debug server will be open for testing would be a great way to alert players of things they would be on for, but simply do not know about. I'm not sure if an idea could be implemented in-server, but since people have talked about it, I figured it would be worth suggesting. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FoxHound Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 we used to have one and it was wildly underused by all parties, everyone hated it because it is much more efficient to use the forums Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Haven't been on recently but I assume it's the same message.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

braided_a Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 Honeslty ive been playing for a long time now and i had no idea you could view your points with f10, I think the same idea applied to that voting system. Why not put it as part of the motd or with a chat command? I notice that every time i type !openvote, for example, several others realize you can do that and go and vote on a map early Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Northground Posted March 31, 2017 Share Posted March 31, 2017 I think this is a great idea to gather the opinions from the majority who doesnt visit the forums. As stated above we used to have this and i think we got some pretty solid ideas from it. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Like how f1 has a built in votemap menu so you don't have to type it into chat. People would use the feature, but simply doesn't know it exists.

People would use the feature, but simply doesn't know it exists. YOU CAN DO THAT? See, just goes to show how much people know about the menu and hotkey based functions vs the chat based functions Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fried Egg Posted April 1, 2017 Share Posted April 1, 2017 we used to have one and it was wildly underused by all parties, everyone hated it because it is much more efficient to use the forums I remember that. At one point, if memory serves, it wound up getting horribly glitchy too. Maybe that was just me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
