Let's take a poll...


(kAndyREW) #1

Hey guys so I came across something on reddit that I think may be beneficial for the devs/community as a whole… someone put together a poll that accounts for all the different demographics and opinions of the current player base…

check it out

If someone’s posted this already on the forums, I do apologize

I’m bumping because this really is a true-blue all-inclusive poll that everyone should do. Took me a minute.


(Yes) #3

Nice one. :slight_smile:


(Nail) #4

good find, interesting


(kAndyREW) #5

yeah doesn’t take long to fill out and I think it asks good questions, may prove helpful to the devs in getting a good idea on the public opinion


(god1) #6

I’m a bit surprised how high people rate the server performance and how most people dislike the aimpunch change, that was an indirect buff to some of the guns that are considered weaker.


(D'@athi) #7

Anyone already has a script to get a majority thought pressed into it? No restrictions, multiple votes allowed, sounds good if I wanted to get my opinion to the devs.

Poor Arty T.T

was also surprised about the server ratings, as far as aimpunch i think people just :

  • hear ‘aimpunch’
  • think NOOOOOO

I actually voted that I like the change. Gunplay feels fine right now.

This is a good poll, takes a minute to fill in and hopefully the devs will look at it. There is value in this info.


(ThiagoScalax) #12

majority of people answer Martyrdom is OP? no is not O_o ( i do not play with nader)


(D'@athi) #13

Even if I don’t like these random vote-again-and-again polls, a simple hint. Just open yours eyes, it even helps seeing Phantom while fighting him, and in this case, helps reading
results. But let me quote it…

Is Martyrdom Overpowered?
Yes 386 29.5 %
No 921 70.5 %

Ok?


(Ghosthree3) #14

Not sure about now, but yesterday Nader was the second most voted for overpowered merc. Pretty much invalidates the whole poll imo, clearly the majority of the people voting just don’t know what they’re talking about.


(Yes) #15

And Vassili is third for that question.


(Harlot) #16

Uh, Phantom is overwhelmingly in first, then Nader, Sparks and Vas are neck and neck for second place with Fragger just behind that. That seems to make sense. Nader spams AoE nades and people hate that, Sparks is definitely the best medic and Vas can be dominant when used decently. Fragger is Fragger.

I don’t think people find Nader OP as much as they find her toxic. For the record, I don’t even use Nader. I stick to Fragger/Kira/Bushwhacker.


(Ghosthree3) #17

I know, that’s why I said second most.

Then they shouldn’t vote for her in the over powered category.


(Harlot) #18

There is no “Rate each character on how toxic they are” category. People vote her as OP hoping she’ll be nerfed to never being used.

If they randomized everybody’s free week mercs, or even offset them so one-third of players get one rotation, one-third gets another, etc people’s opinions of her would probably change drastically.


([TSB]Warfoolz) #19

you can see some real phantom butthurt in the statistics.


(Gi.Am) #20

Yeah I was surprised by the high server ratings aswell. the netcode is good. but the server stability and especially the backendservers clearly need a lot of work.

@Ghosthree3
The pool asks for opinion and is not testing players knowledge about merc balance.
Nader being in second place and without Phantom most certainly leading. Is how quite a few people see things. It mirrors this forum aswell. Nader is still pretty high up in the ammount of OMG Nerf Merc X treads.

In general Mercs like Phantom, Nader, Vassili will always be the ones people complain the most. They give you no time to retaliate or react if they are played well. which quite often leads to a feeling of hoplessness (“man I can’t do anything against him”) and quite alot of anger (“FUCK That OP bullshit”).
