Anyone else think Disney most likely reads the ideas here on POF?

[MacIronhawk]

I would think so, with the new release of this EITC fleet.

Does anyone remember the thread in the ideas section where talk about fleets being in the came up? And tada, there's an EITC fleet on the test server.

Does anyone agree this most likely means Disney does read our ideas about the game?

[Cannonfury]

Yes they do. They also read the glitches that are posted, which is why they get fixed quicker.

[Captain Del]

A Disney dev did say in an interview a while back that they do occasionally read over what we pirates think, so yes. As for frequency? Meh, it would be nice to say they read up every day, but thats HIGHLY unlikely. So, I'd guess every once in a while.

Since this game is their livelihood and we are the voice of the players, either directly or indirectly, I would say they are being unprofessional if they didn't check this site regularly. Imagine that you spend most of your waking hours working on a game that others play. Wouldn't you want to know what people are saying about your work???? Wouldn't you want some free advice as to how you could improve your work and make your customers happy?

I have programming experience and I know better than most how frustrating this career is. I know how time consuming something can be when you look at it and think to yourself... this will only take a minute to fix... and you end up working on it all day.

I think they do look. I also understand why they are so slow to respond. What I don't understand is why they change things that are not broken

I would hope so. How else would they really know what the game needs?

[Admiral Finch]

Yes they do. And to be honest. Most games do read forums based on their games for feedback. I have seen it on quite a few forums.

[Jeanne Stormcutter]

I don't think so, i'm sure they have better things to do than read forums

[Angel Seafish]

If they don't, they should.
If they do, hopefully often.

[Captain Whale]

Well I would hate to spend several months working on a new part of the game. Then get all excited to roll it out. Then come here and see everyone tearing it to pieces or complaining that it's not what was wanted. I am sure it gets downright discouraging seeing "Disney Fails" time and time again.

Don't get me wrong there are some good ideas and constructive critisism here. Just something to think about next time they roll out something new.

I think the fleets give a new, fresh feel to the game. No complaints here. Although I enjoy storyline, I really like just hanging out with friends. My guild goes on searches for rare bosses to overwhelm with sheer numbers.

You forgot to mention the idea of dumping unwanted cargo.
Check here:

Except they just automatically assume that we don't want the lesser cargo and dump it.

What about the guild requests being blocked?
Wasn't that idea posted here?
http://www.piratesonlineforums.com/f...ad.php?t=10660

What about booting other "pirates" from your ship.
So far we've only seen it in SvS.


We wanted the kraken.
It seems like in a way, we got it.
They did create Call of the Kraken right?
Perhaps, they'll eventually add it into the game, if so, not anytime soon.

More clothes and tattoos?
Is that considered the Holiday "Outfits and Tattoos" by Disney?


The Fleets?
That might not be as "great" as everyone thinks.
But it all depends on opinion.

It seems like they don't give us exactly what we want.
But they do give it to us, in a way.


Some of the "bigger" ideas may never get onto test, if they do, it would probably be on Dec. 21, 2012. The end of the world caused by Disney giving us brand new content that we've been wanting for years. Hurray.

A little off topic, but I made my point.
And to answer your question, yes, they probably do read the forums.

[JM Ohara]

If there is one thing I know D is all about business. It's simply good business to know what people say about your product. Do they read the forums? You bet your eyepatch they do. Will we ever be able to prove it? No.

[wmah]

If they really listen to us, why can I still walk through others. It is still not right to me. It makes attuning others harder without being able to bump an attune them on the fly. And still hitting the cloth sails on ships shouldn't take down a masts.
