Repost from .com - Concilium Plebis - The Unofficial Rome 2 Survey

[alQamar]

Fellow citizens,

It seems a lot of hot air is expended in the pages of this forum; some of it as learned as one of Cicero's declamations, other bits more like Nero after he's had a few too many lead cups of wine.

One thing is for sure: we have a LOT of demands and desires of this game... but we express them like an unruly mob, spread out over thousands of threads, with hundreds of overlapping topics and usually descending into incoherent rants that go over the same ground agaaain and agaaain and agaa - you geddit

So, what I propose (and I doubt I'm doing anything new here) is a survey that collates all our opinions on what we consider the most pressing issues. Hopefully, in this simplified format, it will have some kind of traction with the devs, because random threads certainly aren't.

Partly to try out the practicality of the whole thing (10 minutes on Survey Monkey did it) and to guage what you all want to see covered, I link below the Survey of Surveys, which is a few basic questions asking you how you think something like this should be laid out:

Rome 2: Survey of Surveys

Not sure I'll have the free time to do this alone, so if anyone thinks this is a good idea and wants to help out/take the reins, let me know!

The questions will all be multiple choice and phrased in a way that will highlight how Creative Assembly's response (or lack of) will affect people's future playing/buying behaviour. Please post your question suggestions below before filling out the survey!

Man, that green text on the Empire background kills my eyes!

[alQamar]

sorry fixed it.


I would like to add the that the survey link above is basically asking for the setup of the main survey which is still work in progress.

Here is a beta stage of the survey (not final)

The first question's answer choices led me to close the survey, but I will try to help you improve it from the beginning.

Question one: What is your overall opinion of the game to date?
-The middle two options are Good or Bad. Needs more nuance. Replace them with something like "largely impressed" or "left you wanting."
-Better yet, have three more options inside of these and get rid of options perfect and abysmal. Further, make a scale from 1-7 with nuanced phrases beside the numbers to help people decide.

Its a bit bias. But I really like it. but it could use more options eks.
2 How likely are you to buy the Caesar in Gaul expansion?

• • No chance!
  • [] small campaign holds no appeal to me.
  • Possibly. I am waiting to see full details of release.
  • Possibly. If there are major improvements made to the core game as well
  • Probably
  • Definitely!
  • Pre-ordered already

I think it's a very good initiative, as long as the possible answers are unbiased and there are equal amounts of positive and negative answers. Otherwise more 'negative' people than 'happy' people will fill it in, which could be an excuse from CA to ignore the results.

[Omar Nelson B.]

For your first survey's question of how many responses will it take for Ca to listen you forgot "there is no number". Your effort is admirable though.

yeah that's true. He is doing a good job for balancing it atm.

I asked him for a recent link and will post it here again.

[Durnaug]

Okies. Done my bit. Good luck!
