A title like "Some ideas to improve the game" is pretty much useless compared to something like "Increase charging speed and reduce duration of Hornet's Overdrive"

Ah, so the title is the most important part of an idea aside from the idea itself then.

Instead of stars, you get more supplies or crystals in daily/weekly missions after you completed the monthly challenge:     

What's the point of earning stars after you completed the months challenge?

Where is the logic, why can't devs replace the stars with supplies/crystals in daily/weekly missions for the players that have completed the monthly challenge?

Hey @Maf, @Spy, or even @Iron_Man,  I've been thinking of posting an idea of bringing unlock ranks back to turret augments. And my reason for wanting to bring them back is that some of them overwhelm the beginner and low ranks, with auto cannon being the most common of the bunch. While others, simply are underwhelming in the high and legend ranks. Making them unlock at ranks would fix these issues.

 

However, its a rather large task for one to accomplish this in one topic. Would it be fine if I give the turrets with many augments their own post and when I'm done listing all of them, you merge them all into 1 topic and publish the entire thing?

or even @Iron_Man, 

What do you take me for eh?

Never mind.

Well yeah it is fine. I can merge them all no problemo.

But the thing is that ideas regarding reversion of updates are declined. Now coming to your idea. For instance a kid saves up crystals thriftily and he cannot buy the augments he wants to. Now this is really not cool. But anyway, I'll ask Maf.

Okay. I got a reply from Maf and he said that it was okay but it is up to the developers to decide the unlock ranks. Yeah, that's the truth as well. Developers might actually decide it basing on statistics. So maybe you'll not exactly have to go through all that pain of listing out all augments for all turrets.

You're right, I should've put Spy on the other side of that statement.

Sweet ok. I'll get as much done as possible in a short time. I'll give you the word when I'm done.

@Maf, I think the "1 idea = 1 topic" rule is too strict. It needs to include some exceptions. Like if the ideas are relevant to the topic.

 

YES

Bruh, the reason why topics such as "Nerf Viking's Overdrive" get so much backlash is because we aren't allowed to include other ideas to go along with it, like ideas to nerf other hull overdrives so that the Viking nerf feels more balanced. 

 

So if we just say we want Viking's OD nerfed, people will hate on the idea because we aren't allowed to post the bigger idea for our idea, in which we want multiple different overdrives nerfed. So the haters think we want to ruin their favorite hull but in reality, we just aren't allowed to post a topic saying "We want the following overdrives to have these nerfs" or something like that. They always get declined and we have to make a topic for each nerf, and some people don't bother to read all of our topics.

 

Just using ODs as an example to explain it by the way.

Yeah, and its especially more annoying when you can't list all the changes you want to suggest into the title and then they close it because the title isn't specific enough.

Technically, you are allowed to do that. If you include multiple ideas about balance changes, then the topic will be eventually merged into "Let's Discuss Balance" anyway, so the mix of ideas isn't an issue. So if Spy or Iron_Man decline a topic like that for having multipel ideas, just tag me in it and I'll give them a slap

Also not a valid reason to close, since we're supposed to edit the topic title to improve it, not shut down the topic.

If you guys can link me some topics that got closed/declined like that, I'll check them out and fix, if applicable.

And this is yet another reason why you're the best I&S curator of all time. Thanx man. :)

Your topic was related to the I&S section hence it was merged with this topic.

As for your ideas themselves, I don't want to sound offensive but the majority of them are pretty much pointless. You seem to suggest ideas just for the sake of it and not because you really come up with something worth suggesting.

A discussion of what? All you did is list some names and titles with no description. There's nothing to discuss about a name alone.

all because the name is funny 

does not mean the idea is not good

Ok, I was thinking that since the shrug reaction is basically being used as a dislike button, then something needs to be done.

I think in order to give out the shrug reaction, you would need to write your reason for it. And it has to be a good reason, not something like "because its stupid" or "because I don't like it".

If you don't write a reason, then your shrug won't register.

Your reason will be listed below your username in the reactions list.

 

I think this would allow them to still use the shrug reaction but also providing constructive criticism.

Shrug does not always means discontent , it means not knowing something to full extent , not having full confidence in topic  or maybe having a dilemma or  something. 

Basically its like any other emotes , u show your gestures or express urself without writing it in text. 

Just like this for example.

Yes , if a person does not agree with u he can justify it by using this emoji but that only makes the job easier as everybody would instead have to write short messages everytime  like "NO or I do not agree" which  does not make sense.

But its the I&S section. Not drama club. Besides, for a long time, reaction buttons that are similar to the dislike button has been a problem for a long time since you don't get any feedback from them.

That qualifies as the quote below.

Meaning that those kind of answers won't register the shrug either.

[PirateSpider 1,489]

Hey, curators, when you merge topics, can you add the title of the idea into the quote?

Players like me who post alot of ideas tend to forget what they already suggested, it'll help let them know which idea got merged.

If you can do this, then it'll be well appreciated. If you can't then its understandable.

I hope this looks fine. I've also added a brief summary, it isn't a big deal for me to do it.

Anyway @Iron_Manhow do you feel about doing it this way now? And how do the other curators feel about it?

Oh I really forgot to see this question of yours. Man getting soo many notifications daily, you kinda miss one or two here and there. I apologize for not having replied earlier.

In all honesty all the mergings I've done after that, I totally forgot to mention the topic name. Well, I am sorry about that but from now on I'll make sure that I mention the name as well.

Well, I am the only one who usually does all the mergings, sometimes spy does them. Well, to me I don't feel anything particular about it.
