Title: Boss Set Voting Poll
Post by: VoiDeD on August 15, 2013, 01:53:01 pm
Please use this poll to vote for the kind of change you'd like to see with boss sets and voting in the FF2 server.

If you'd like a different kind of change done for voting, please post here and I'll add it to the poll. You can change your selected vote at any time.

You should advertise this thread on the FF2 server to let more users know of the poll.

I'd like it being completely random. Stops everyone from voting the same sets over and over, to get some of the good bosses everyone wants to fight/play as.

I'd like some more votes on the poll before I go with any specific option. Try to get more regulars on the server to vote here.

I feel you should just put the random option in there.

The general consensus in game seems to be "I don't feel like making an account to vote"

make forum voting for anonymous people

From a quick sample of players on the server:

Quote
[SM] Vote successful. (Received 67% of 18 votes)
[SM] The answer to How should boss voting be changed is: Remove set voting entirely and randomly select sets.

I'll likely do some more in-game polls later in the day to get a better idea of what players who play later in the day prefer, but it seems so far that players are leaning towards removing boss set voting entirely.

Splitting the bosses across more sets was a decision I made to reduce how much content would need to initially be downloaded by clients.

Even though it may be a little late to suggest a new idea, but instead of sticking to 6 defined sets, have the server scramble all the hales and randomly choose 23 hales from any set to be playable on that map.

Also, all us donators wish we could choose a hale from ANY set at any time. I do see one problem with that though - new users who haven't downloaded all the bosses yet. But one can wish...

That may be a change done further into the future, as it would require some significant reworking of the FF2 code. For now having the set be randomly selected and manually scrambling the sets every now and then is ideal.

As you mentioned, this isn't something that's easily feasible. The bosses need to be spread across sets in order to distribute the amount of content downloaded.
