The secrecy about the new project is not only baffling, its kinda dumb.

You have your potential player base sitting in front of you.

Why are you not asking us what we would like to see in the game?

They don't care about our input as much as people want them to.

I assume they will, for a select number. It's called Alpha.

Which is pretty silly and self defeating.

By the time you get to Alpha its too late, all you are doing then is making adjustments.

The major game CONCEPTS are where they would benefit from the thoughts of the people who will, or won't, pay for the game.

What makes you think that they haven't reached out to a fair number of players in the game? Why do you assume that since you weren't invited to provide input that nobody has?

What makes you think that there really is another game coming? Have you seen it? I guess just because someone says it on the internet it must be true?

LOL

As to the notion of a "focus group" the less the less.

And as noted I THINK I saw a dev nod yes to the concept in Q&A or someplace.

That might be a complete fabrication of my memory though.

I'm sure they already are reaching out to select people for feedback, yello... they're just not reaching out to you -- or to me, for that matter.

There are projects in the works, that has been well established. It will undoubtedly go through all the phases any software/programming should go through.

They should be reaching out to the entire user base, at least as represented by the forums - its free marketing research. Something big business spends billions on.

Asking people what they like is not design by committee. Its getting a grasp for what your customers would like before YOU design the product.

Thats because he asked AFTER releasing the game.

People had become invested in the crappy design features and resented them being changed. That tied him to mediocrity.

Finding out what they want BEFORE writing a line of code makes more sense.
