I don't get it... so please explain. I just found (and yeah I know it's propably been there for ages etc) this point of wishlist rules:
# You want to suggest things that are in completed games and are just not here yet, or anything else in violation of the guidelines below
So, Question 1: Doesn't it just make wishlist forum section completely pointless? If we want to see something (and there's like 100% we've seen it somewhere, or it it in some other game out there) You'll just say Planeshift is not finished product and you'll feel fine (by you, I mean anyone who decided to create wishlist).
Let's get an example:
Request: I would like Planeshift to be more playable. (yeah yeah i know planeshift must be unique and while other mmos are playable PS must be unique at this point too
). The levelling system is too much trouble for most players to bear.
And here we get our 3 points:
* A new idea that could be used in the game mechanics
* A variation on an old idea that could be applied (preferably in a unique way)
* Comments on a current idea and how you think it could be changed
Well, when we want some better levelling system, we propably think planeshift levelling system sucks because we've seen better system somewhere else.
So you can automatically ignore our post and mark it as violating board rules.
So what should we do? ask the other game developers to change their game status to beta so you can accept our request?
Thinking out completely new (because you like your unique-ness) system is pointless, because THERE ARE ALREADY well thought systems, but then you don't want to apply them, shielding youselves with BETA/SOON/VIOLATING BOARD RULES (pick your choice).
and also, why I'm here, why won't you move some bugs from old bugtracker to new bugtracker? I know it looks better where there are less bugs on the wallpaper but please... that's not the point of a bugtracker, if you're going to put a new bugcktracker system every now and then, why not to just add some new statuses like "works for me", "too lazy to fix" or something like that
I'm a developer, and what you're doing is wrong.
Then Let's get back to our Question 1:
why do we have this forum section if you don't really going to change game to players' likeness?
I also won't say project need more and better developers because there's rule to that :
* Saying we need "more" or we need "better" isn't enough, and threads asking for this will be deleted.
also asking for ideas that are doing their jobs well in other projects is useles:
* Do not suggest things just because they're in another game. (of course, why to learn from other's experiences, it's better to make our own mistakes and make it take more time)
And before you ask 'Why?' :
Reason 1: Because I don't know what wishlist is for, if all requests are going to be cancelled anyway.
Reason 2: Because I don't know what developers are thinking about the project and what they actually want to do with it in the future (because making it better doesn't seem like it).
Forgive me asking difficult questions, don't be opera - listen to users and apply to their voices
