List of Community Suggested Improvements That Were Implemented

C_Lloyd

Hey Guys and Gals!

I have seen some people in the past posting about NG not listening to you all about suggestions you have made to improve the game and how it has become frustrating and discouraging. I can understand that sometimes it can seem like its falling on deaf ears. Others have shown a general interest in what has actually been added to the game that was suggested by the community and would like a List. Well...

I have compiled this list to show to you that your suggestions are heard and a lot are put into action. (*note* This is an outdated list I compiled when I had more free time, there has been plenty more suggested updates implemented since.)

Quite a few of these I was able to locate specific threads (which I linked) inside the suggestions section of the forums regarding specific changes. Others I know were requested by the community but as I have other things to do than wade through thousands upon thousands of posts , I was not able to take the time to track them down so I listed them below also.

2x feature revamped
Shortened Challenge cycle
Changed reward system
Made unique weekly events (which people expect now)
Human enemies
removed crit zoom with 2x
bringing back bundles
Daily quests
more achievement rewards
Changed Guild challenge from 2 a week back to 1 a week
Added Show Characters to game as playable survivors
Added more challenges

There have been some great idea's that have made large and small but important changes to the game which is awesome to see!

Please remember everyone, Updates and changes take time. You may make a suggestion and months could go by before you might actually get to see it implemented in the game. The Dev's have schedules they need to follow and idea's of their own that they are already working on. Your idea's are seen, heard and considered but that doesn't mean they get pushed to the front of the line and will be in the next update. Please remember to be patient

I hope everyone is having a great day and continues to brainstorm and share those great idea's! The next great game changer could be yours!

-C_Lloyd

(*note* If people would like me to keep this list updated I can do my best. If you would like to make my life easier, you can comment with the idea and a thread its mentioned in and I can add it on, if you just post the idea then I will do my best to find the idea mentioned somewhere on the forums to back it up but I make no guarantees.)

Awesome list @C_Lloyd !

Thanks for the hard work!

C_Lloyd

@Conan1976 I believe this is what you were looking for?

JayZ

@C_Lloyd great list. It is interesting to note that many of your links are to posts from 2015-2016. While I don’t disagree that NG has done a great job of listening to players in the past, in recent months there has been a “what have you done for me recently?” sentiment. In fairness to NG, they’ve introduced some pretty cool events (hero week, reduced gas distance missions, etc.) which I’m really grateful for. But it’s painful to see some persistent bugs (Retaliate/Overwatch) and UI issues (gear swapping and now badge swapping) that haven’t been addressed despite being problems that have been around for almost as long as this game has been out.

C_Lloyd

Thanks @JayZ I spent many hours compiling the list you are seeing. The outdated nature of the list is mostly due to the fact I started the list on the first page of suggestions (oldest) and worked my way to the newest. Also due to the fact I made this list early last year so it doesn't have any recent updates as I stated in the second paragraph of my post. I will work to update the list to the current timeline if there is interest.

JayZ

Ah yes. I skimmed over the long paragraphs at the beginning a bit too quickly to get to the good stuff. Again, I don’t disagree that NG has listened to and implemented community suggestions in the past (see my post in the other very similar thread). But I’m hoping to see some more staff activity on the forums because I do enjoy the game and don’t want it to sunset.

The community is a big source of inspiration to us - we have weekly meetings where we have compiled feedback that is then discussed with the team. Some suggestions and pieces of feedback are more feasible than others, but we do take the community into consideration whenever we're making decisions regarding the game.

That's an awesome list! Great work!


You have forgotten about the wrestler change.


Oh wait it's a improvements list so nevermind then

Putchuco

Wrestler trait!
Biggest re-improvement!

@C_Lloyd Here's another one for the list: The free badge unequip event recently. Just getting around to it, but thanks for pushing that one through @Teeceezy !

Thanks for the great topic, @C_Lloyd!
Sorry for the offtopic but I have looked up for the equipment storage capacity and have found no relevant info (only old topics). Does the max number of stored equipment depend on the number of survivors slot or smth else or is it a constant number (and which)?

Pain Walker

Why don’t people admire all the good stuff NG has implemented but only discuss what hasn’t been put in the game?

There is barely any comments here compared to the opposite thread.

Serp

Ahhh @Pain_Walker, to be young and naive again...that, my friend, is the way of the world, not just with NG.
