Since Devs will be coming into office tomorrow morning and wondering which questions they should answer, I thought it might be nice to make that job easier. Here are the ones that have gone green so far, and ones that are close to it. (Of course the vote totals will have changed by the time I post this, I'll try to update it later today).

If people don't want to wade through all the pages but want to participate in votes: your leaders, and their links. Some you may notice are very similar to each other....

    Don't be so modest! icon_e_wink.gif

    Edit: More seriously, there is a lot of green questions. In a sense it's nice because it shows the involvement of the community. But it also means that there is enough questions so that the devs can pick the more convenient for us and leave the other... icon_e_confused.gif

    Main concern I have is the devs will just pick what questions they want to answer based on past Q&A's. Wish we could've coordinated the forums response it a bit more ahead of time.

    I know roster slots are a big issue for many (I've even proposed some changes in the past), but at some point I think folks just need to accept it as a cost to play the game. I think it's unrealistic to think you can earn enough HP in game once you get past a certain point (mine are now 1000+HP as I have 80 roster slots currently). I have never won a 1000HP in DDQ after all this time (a few 250HP's though), if DDQ was supposed to help here, I haven't seen it, lol.

    Granted, I'm sure the second bit may be met with disagreement by many, but I think the more important question is the design to force players to roster every character of all levels now due to single character node essentials. I'd rather see a group of characters that can be used in each essentials node instead so we CAN have the option to not roster characters we do not want.

    That's sort of why I put this out there now. I think it was Northern Polarity (or Nonce?) that put out all the green questions that were not answered after a Q&A session a few months back. By putting them out there -before- the video, it shows we are aware/looking for certain answers.

    Answers like this. We've gotten "DDQ is the answer", we've gotten "roster diversity is desired", we're getting round-about "You need every 4*/3*/2* since they are essentials", someone mentioned (but I never saw) we've gotten "we don't expect you to have all the characters". Some of these answers conflict. Some of these answers are simply not true. Getting a full answer out there, even if people don't like it, will at least finish off the conversation, rather than leaving more questions from vague answers.

    Yeah answering all that could take tenths, maybe dozens of seconds.

    I hope they pick roster slots and give the same answer as last time it was picked.

    Updated numbers Monday (but didn't re-order), a few new green and a few new getting close.

    Just for reference from the February Q&A, lukewin posted what popular questions that were avoided and only 3 of the questions actually passed the 25 upvote (turn green) threshold, so something to consider.

    viewtopic.php?style=1&f=7&t=24524

    May be worthwhile to update this and see which actual questions they decided to answer for comparison's sake.

    31 votes: What are the chances of changing the 20 iso rewards?
    viewtopic.php?f=7&t=29648&start=100#p357862

    you would think with the 200 or so 20 iso rewards for bazillion hp ultron kills.. this would have more votes.

    That's who it was and where it is, thanks! I couldn't remember who put this one out there, but that's the reason I did this one before the answers - hopefully more popular ones are answered this time.

    I think the voters often want to only go through the first or lat page, it's why I tried to link the ones later on - let folks jump right to them. You almost have to imagine a +10 per day beyond first day to make them equal.

    Several suggested it would have been nice to pre-plan questions in the community: maybe if they aren't answered, the high voted ones could have been on page one (highest votes?). If I remember to link to lukwin's and this one, we could maybe bump some of these to first page next time.

    There're a few in there that are basically the same question phrased differently (Shield Sim, roster slots, etc...)

    Grouping them together might help get a couple lesser voted but important questions closer to the top of the list. If you're bored that is.

    Otherwise thanks for compiling this.

    This is the kinda of thing I was hoping our Forum Moderators could help with and get things more organized. Mayhaps I am thinking incorrectly that this is within their bailiwick.

    In the first iteration I did this and then decided against it - didn't want to discourage anyone from re-voting or group to closely together.

    Just threw a few of the suggestions more closely together, hopefully it doesn't offend anyone. Some of these are the most repeated questions, often asked again in later, less-voted on pages.

    If they answer lets say atleast 2 of these question, whole community will be much happier.

    Jumping the gun to answer this one before the video.

    We'll use the number of upvotes as an indicator of what this group of players is most interested in, and we want to put together a Q&A that's interesting to you and answer the questions that are most important to you, but no, it's not a ballot.

    In a typical Q&A thread, some posts with a bunch of upvotes aren't questions, aren't something we can answer for miscellaneous reasons (maybe they touch on contractual issues or trade secrets), aren't answerable in the time we have in the video, or relate to something we're announcing later.

    Answering a lot of questions of the form "have you considered X", and "when is X coming" tends to make a boring Q&A, because the answers always boil down to "yes" and "we don't announce dates for things until we know them for certain". Feature requests are similar.

    And we want to balance questions that are interesting to highly competitive players with questions that are interesting to a wider audience.

    Those factors explain why the top-voted questions and the ones that we answer sometimes differ.

    I've been one of many guessing they can't say "This is what is coming" due to contract, or upcoming announcements.

    Still, hopefully they can answer a few of these definitively - several have popped up on several Q&A lists - so if they were upcoming announcements, they should be about ready.

    Good idea, but I'm worried that they will skip the original thread and ignore the rest of it. Some of it that wasn't green still deserved a look at it even if it doesn't make Q&A.

    Also not addressed, nor any below this: but that means they only hit on pretty much everything above this.

    They hit the top several, and for that I'd like to personally thank the Devs.
