Popular Post namukara Posted June 5, 2020 Popular Post Share Posted June 5, 2020 Hi, Slight access issue. Game polls are often done on the discord server; discord polls don't work with screen readers. The forum has functional voting features. Please could any polls of this type be moved to the forum, so everyone can participate? Thanks! 1 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For any serious polling, I will always create a Google Form and randomly sample nations to receive it through in-game messages. 1 Quote Is there a bug? Report It | Not understanding game mechanics?

Every poll should be accessible as if the people that couldn't see well had 20/20 vision. This comment is snarky, insensitive and frankly I'm astounded. You should make polls accessible like the OP said. What even is a "QuIcK" poll?? 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A "quick" poll is one that isn't intended for everyone to answer, it's just intended to get some feedback quickly. I'm not disagreeing that Discord is less accessible, but I am stating that it is faster and easier for some use-cases. Quote Is there a bug? Report It | Not understanding game mechanics?

I'm not disagreeing that Discord is less accessible, but I am stating that it is faster and easier for some use-cases. When you're gathering feedback, the intention shouldn't be to get it as quickly as possible, it's to get the most feedback you can. The best feedback you can is feedback which everybody has the ability to contribute to, including people who can't use discord polls and people in inconvenient timezones. What was the rush that meant this feedback gathering had to be done as quickly as possible? On 6/8/2020 at 5:22 PM, Alex said: It was a quick poll, not intended to get everyone's opinion. For any serious polling, I will always create a Google Form and randomly sample nations to receive it through in-game messages. And to add: Random samples are also not a good way to gather feedback. They're better than the method of using discord or only asking a few people, but they still don't get the coverage which an open-access poll, on the forums, advertised with an announcement would. Besides, the advantage of a google form for you is that if a particular change is one you are passionate about, the inconvenient polling data never has to see the light of day. The option I favour increases accessibility, increases discussion, increases transparency and will be better for every user. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are only about 250 active forum users compared to around 7,000 active players in-game. Even randomly sampling a small percentage of them is likely to gather more feedback than a public forum poll. Of course, you all (the players) are welcome to create and promote your own public forum polls. They're just not especially useful for my purposes. Quote Is there a bug?

It's someones responsibility, if they want to be involved in the game suggestions process, to decide to get involved. This could actually be a good way for you to spur more forum activity: whenever there is a new poll on the forum, make an announcement in the changelog. People join the forum, they might use it later and they might not, but they have at least had to see it now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Changeup Posted June 15, 2020 Share Posted June 15, 2020 What if @Alex continued the random survey method, but increased the number of polls sent and publicly posted the results? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
