Guild Wars 2

Can we someday have in-game surveys to show what content we enjoyed and to cover other questions? I think it would help with feedback more than just forums do since most agree that forums are not the majority of players. I think in-game surveys would serve as a stronger opinion base.

Just the first 3 types that pop up off the top of my head:

What class do you play most in WVW/SPVP?
Rate ______ Content 1-10.
Which areas do you frequent most?

Theres an infinite list, those are just an example. I think little surveys once in a while could really give devs the info they seek and could close the gap between forum opinions and in game opinions.

During beta they did have little feedback popups at the close of each PS step as well as after some other actions iirc. That was great for beta, since we were supposed to be helping test and evaluate.

I wouldn’t mind doing them now, either, if they are not intrusive. However, I would strongly recommend that any such thing have a toggle in options to disable because plenty of people won’t want the interruption. Also your first and third questions should be globally trackable by ANet without needing subjective spot check reporting, as they aren’t actually about an opinion.

So if it’s opinion surveying you want, let people evaluate a jump puzzle they just finished, or an event chain, or the PS. Give them a short text box to explain their reasoning. And make it clear that the surveyee isn’t going to see any response.

I agree with Donari. I think in-game surveys would be a good way of reaching the majority of the player base, as long as the pop ups weren’t intrusive. Maybe it would be sent as an in-game mail?

As long as they don’t fill the mailbox :P I think mail would be fine though, or a small icon above map etc.
