Hello, I know that “passed to developers” doesn’t mean much apart from being passed to developers, but still, why do we only have one suggestion passed in each category except vehicles each month?
Let’s take “Skins” category for example, which also includes decals and 3D decorations. Each skin/decal/decoration requires a separate suggestion, basically any vehicle from any nation can have multiple skins, so why not to increase the amount of such suggestions passed?
Yeah, agreed. Ive got 3 year old suggestions with more vote in-favour than half of what usually gets passed to the devs and im not expecting that to change anytime soon beacuse only about 0.01% of suggestions ever actually get passed to the devs
I dunno if there may be a limit to how many suggestions that the devs want in their que so the mods have to wait for slots to open up, I think it’s also largely at the discretion of the suggestion mods as to what gets passed, so there is likely a degree of bias involved.
That said a few I have seen a mod go ham and swamp the entire 1st page of the topics section with 10 to 15 passed suggestions in one go.
So we limit the amount we pass to the dev each month to make the amount managable for the devs to look at and review.
If we sent them tons each month it makes it harder for them to sit down and look through each of them.
Bare in mind this is just from the global side RU also sends suggestions to the devs however their system is different from ours.
With that being said even if a suggestion isnt past to the devs it doesnt mean it wont get implemented. As there are many suggestions that move directly to implemented.
If you really want something past to the devs make a swedish air or heli Suggestion as there currently are none.
To note: past to the dev’s does not guarantee the suggestion will be implemented.
Im a bit confused by what you mean when you mention the flood of posts, but thats probably just us updating those posts and moving them to the passed for consideration section.
Some suggestions based off the numbers are most likely never going to be passed to the devs.
That is one of the issues with the vast volume of suggestions that are created everyday. Thats just the nature of things. I have some suggestions that on the old forum werent past to the devs and even on the new forum are still not past to the devs that across both forums its been probably 5+ years.
Also im unsure what suggestions you mean were past weeks after being opened as that generally does not happen. But there are some cases where it can/does happen. But its not standard that something like that happens.
I feel like the whole topic of suggestions is currently stagnating a lot. I have posted 2 suggestions over a month ago and they are still stuck on “pending” in the backlog. Plus I haven’t gotten back from any of the mods about this recently, so I think it’s not only the passing over to the devs that is a bit of a problem right now.
Yeah, when you guys pass the suggestion and close the thread it updates and jumps to the top of the topics list, when lots get passed in a short amount of time the whole “topics” section turns green, that’s what I was referring to, it’s always fun to look through and see what’s being passed.
I mean I can understand such limit for vehicles category, but skins/decals c’mon… I think at least a few additional wouldn’t hurt.
As for RU forum, it’s barely alive after PixelStorm thing and suggestions require 100 votes iirc to get passed, which is usually manageable only for Soviet/Russian vehicles suggestions. I mean as a Russian speaking person I use that forum too, just less often.
