2nd world-wide community Total War survey [RESULTS]

[Huberto]

You split the poll again in 33

Do you miss the multiplayer hot-seat campaign mode in Rome 2? yes, no, do not care.

Yes or no would have sufficed there.

No I need I don't care because I'm uninterested in MP. No implies I may play MP or care about MP but don't like hot seat campaign.

No I need I don't care because I'm uninterested in MP. No implies I may play MP or care about MP but don't like hot seat campaign.

I read 'Do you miss the hot-seat campaign' as 'Are you upset that it is gone'. If you are uninterested in MP - and so don't miss it - then you vote no.

The only real way things can be totally unbiased is if it's yes or no (or the five stars that they had on a lot of questions) then you can accurately asses the community's opinion on a scale. When there are several similar answers it's hard to be unbiased. I was unsure what answer to give on a few of the questions since the answers were almost the same, so I just guessed 50/50. That'll split people.

Look at question 5 again:

5*Do you mind that TW:Rome 2 or other TW games are only available via Steam?

• Yes, I mind that TW is only available via Steam
• I don't care
• No, I don't mind that

The question there really is 'Does steam negatively effect you?' If you have no opinion then it doesn't and I think people would be split between don't care and no, I don't mind (Don't care and don't mind are the exact same thing) So if the result was this...

• Yes - 50%
• Don't care - 25%
• Don't mind - 25%

If the result said that then what would be your impression of the community's opinion? You would say that the overwhelming majority of the community dislike steam, that's not true, only half of them would.

I read 'Do you miss the hot-seat campaign' as 'Are you upset that it is gone'. If you are uninterested in MP - and so don't miss it - then you vote no.

OK -- only if it's part of a subset of questions about MP allowing me to indicate that I'm not interested in MP. Been a while since I took the poll and I moved through it very quickly.

The results will probably be biased to those who are more disgruntled than those who are happy but whatever, more than happy to participate if it atleast gets something on the table that CA can see

The survey is more about helping CA improve the game and deliver the game they promised. So yes, you are totally correct. If the game was perfect this survey would have never been made.

I thought the survey as a whole was quite nice, my only quibble is I would have gone without some of the ancillary comments on many questions, just leave it to the question itself. Very thorough though, and the questions as a whole were nicely thought out and organized.

Survey was a little long, and IMO the formatting was a bit poor. Personally it could have been organized better.

if you are daelin4 from the official forum, the moderator who closed the thread and deleted all the links to the survey on the OP , you are really shameless to come on this thread to explain you could make a better survey.

Is he trolling now? He doesn't even get paid to moderate the official forums. Which I think is one of the most, if not the most, hostile gaming forums around. That is some serious love and dedication right there.

[Seether]

Did my part

[Miraklum]

Done

I had a discussion with the moderators to clear up what exactly the cause was on the thread closing was and why there was no clear reasoning behind it. The thread has been updated here with moderator explanation- http://forums.totalwar.com/showthrea...nd-games/page4

So this is the excuse posted by Daelin4, "Since the OP has claimed that he has made this thread on behalf of a banned user, that is considered tantamount to trying to evade a ban. For that this thread will be closed."

lol, really? That's it? you closed a thread and removed the survey for that? lol, It makes a mockery of CA and your forums tbh. I wont be buying any of your DLC or any new TW games. Your loss in the long run.

I cant see the problem in a user creating a survey simply to gather information regarding a game with a hope of bringing about positive change.

Is it your impression that the TW community does not want this survey on the official forum? Because our impression is that CA doesn't want it there.

Respectfully, why don't you do your job and step into this matter and fix it on behalf of the TW community? Your inaction is not helping repair CA's troubled relationship with its fan base.

I just had a look at their explanation and I am disgusted with their reasons. They are seeing fault where they want to see fault and doing everything they can to make it look bad when the questionnaire was very fair. No survey is perfect, but it certainly wasn't bias to this or that way. It was being truthful and trying to find what the fans and users of TW wanted. The fact that the maker was banned has nothing to do with it, I myself had no idea he was banned either. Heck, Craig even invited me back to the forums a couple of years ago when I said was wrongly banned. Glad I declined.

I believe the truth is, it asks questions they have no wish to have to answer and that's where as far as they're concerned, the poll is wrong.

But then again, if I put my tinfoil hat on, all this was going to happen if you look at their character when dealing with honest issues they don't want aired on that forum. They know their game has issues and they don't want to hear it.

The internet, utube, etc, has a looong memory, CA, remember that.

I agree that they should have allowed the survey on the official forums but can you see any parallels between this sentence and everyday forum use on TWC concerning Rome 2?

The decision to close that thread is a legitimate excuse .... but very poor. You may disagree with the content of the survey, but is not offensive.

A french friend on "mundus bellicus" (a french forum) have found a solution with daelin4 and Nico CA on the official forum. He will create a new topic very soon.

Oh they've allowed it back now?

I guess CA really aren't that dumb after all. That one was an own goal waiting to blow up in their faces.
