New Poll Questions

[Consultant]

I want to take the opportunity to let people suggest poll questions. We may or may not be able to use a particular question, as worded, but we do consider all of them. Sometimes a person asks a question and it is very close to a question we've asked in the past, so we often ask the old questions again -- that allows us to get answers, and to also see if the new round of answers is different than it was the last time we posted that question.

I will suggest a poll on the nature of possible respecs.

What kind of respecs do you want to be in the game?

1) Just respec inside your chosen power sets (CoH classic option)

2) Possibility to change secondary power set, don't change archetype

3) Possibility to change primary power set, don't change archetype

4) Total respec. Possibility to totally change character while keeping level


My choice would be just 1) because i would like to have a healthy alt-culture in order to not become too top heavy.

So you’ve reached Max level. What will you do next?

A. Shout in global chat you reached max level

B. Immediately make a new character

C. Fly back to starter zone and give that lvl 8 boss payback for defeating you all those levels ago.

D. Do your first Max lvl mission.

I’m sure there’s a better question or better possible answers but that’s what i came up with. I’d most likely do C personally. Lol

[Consultant]

Keep them coming!

Global enhancements:

I have no idea if you want those or if you already have some ideas about them. You could make a poll about what the people might want.

Options are what i can come up with, you probably have other ideas already...

1) No global enhancements. Keep it local.

2) Keep em relatively weak, up to 3% in a stat for a really good one. Nice to have but nothing that will be required.

3) Medium, up to about 10%: You will be considered weak if you don't have them, but you can still cope without.

4) Strong, up to 20%. WIll be considered as a must have at higher levels.

I think we are planning to mimic the respec situation that existed in COH, so we know the answer to question 1. But questions 2 and 3 are now queued up, with slight editorial word changes.

Hey, the system works! Who else has some questions for a poll?

Funding for the game is very important. But so is making the game available to the maximum number of people.

Would you prefer:
1) subscription only -- only players paying a regular subscription can play, aside from an occasional free weekend. This could limit who gets to play.

2) free play with a cash shop -- the game is free, but to really experience the most, you will have to buy things from a shop. This lets the maximum number of people play.

3) Some mix of subscription along with free play -- people can play for free, but can't get the full experience unless they subscribe. Sort of like an extended free trial.


4) Mix of subscription and free play with a cash shop -- players can experience the full game either by subscribing, or by playing for free and buying items in the cash shop.

You have 15-30 minutes of free time. You Log into
SHIP OF HEROES. What do you do?

A. Complete the your next mission in your story arc?

B. “Grind” out your next level?

C. Review and upgrade you augments

D. Badge hunting

[Landrymat]

You’re in game and you come across a new player who needs help with a mission. What would gives you the greatest motivation/insentive to assist them?

A. Another point toward receiving a special achievement badge?

B. The change to replay a past mission you needed for something else

C. To make a new friend in game

D. Just because it’s heroic and you just want to welcome the new player to the game.

[Golden Ace]

I love these questions.

[Consultant]

I just added two more to the queue of poll questions. Thank you and keep them coming.

You have 15-30 minutes of free time. You Log into

A. Complete the your next mission in your story arc?

B. “Grind” out your next level?

C. Review and upgrade you augments

D. Badge hunting

I feel like this is missing some options.
host/attend a costume contest or other community fun
help new players get started (that's what I usually did when my time was short)

[Consultant]

Indigowulf, let's add those options!

The questions should come out in about a week.

[LadyVamp]

I will propose a question:

Would you prefer as a private place:

A) Standard Super Groups Bases only.
B) Individual Apartments that act like mini super group bases only. No SG Bases.
C) Both and you can use them both.
D) Both but you can only pick one to use for things like storage, crafting, teleports, etc.
E) Are you kidding? Those whole ship is my Base.

[Consultant]

LadyVamp, could you give us a couple of sentences to distinguish option one from option two? In my mind I'm kind of getting the idea the SG base is NOT an apartment but more like a shared group fortress...is that what I should be thinking? but otherwise options 1 and 2 are the same?
