PROBLEM WITH SUGGESTIONS

[Deadsoul125]

Theres a major problem with pikas suggestion system. The current system works like this :
1. Qufox notices he has lots of free time
2. He opens suggestions and sees they have piled up
3. HE starts speedrunning them
4. Gives no clear reason as to why a suggestion was denied

The problem here is he is doing ts alone and he doesnt have time to reply to every suggestion so he just copy pastes the default messages. I think many suggestions arent even read properly and ill list some suggestions below to clear things. For now, pika suggestion system should work like this :
1. Staff except Qufox should also manage suggestions
2. Suggestions should be checked regularly not after a month
3. A clear reason should be given why a suggestion was denied ( so it can be improved)

Now ill list some suggestions below that explain why im crashing out

PS : click on the suggestion number as it is a link to original post.

(1) This suggestion talked about breach swapping being enabled in macepvp and it should be accepted as it is an important part of mace but it was denied and no clear reply was given and now were wondering why wont pika add breach swapping.

(2) This one is about displaying health on top of opponents as it wont be a disadvantage for any player and will help in pvp.

(3) This is about titles in bedwars and im only asking for a clear reason for its denial so i can know what to improve with this suggeestion. Also it is some 10/10 ragebait that i spent time writing this and the staff couldnt even give me a good reply.

(4) This one is about adding a specific level brackets to bedwars that symbolizes pikas brand (pikachu). Im angry over this cuz my guy @Zapril actually edited the pic and gave u a great suggestion and yall didnt even reply properly.

This is the worst issue with suggestions system rn cuz some really good suggestions get left out and there is no way for improvement without the faults in them.

(5) This suggestion was about adding some new skins to skymines and it was made b4 december. BUt do uk wht happened? pika didnt read the suggestion until after skymines reset. Why u ask? well its cuz daddy Qufox didnt have free time to speedrun them. AFter that, Pika releases new skins in skymines and his suggestion gets denied. Like atleast give @EpicMiner001 some gold to compensate or accept his suggestion. He posted the suggestion on oct 29 and skymines season was announced on dec 10 i think.

This is disheartening and discourages players from making more suggestions. Tell me that if u spend time on a good suggestion and u get treated this way would u still post more suggestions thinking ull get a better response? Pika should improve their suggestions management so it actually becomes a community friendly server and not some pay2win trash server that only cares about grabbing money!!!

Thank you for the support on the idea, I'm glad you thought it was good!

From what I’ve seen, it looks like Qufox usually handles suggestions around the time of a gamemode reset, rather than handling them continuously. That’s when decisions are made about which ideas fit into the update and which don’t. As staff, our role is just to sort suggestions into accepted or denied so the developers can focus on what’s useful, we are not the ones to make decision on what will be implemented and what will not.

Speaking as a player myself, I agree that it would be better if denial reasons were explained in more specifically so people know how to improve their ideas. At the same time, giving personalized replies for every suggestion is very demanding work, and I do not believe it really allow for that level of detail.

Ye QuFox did it but devs has a lot more work so this is the common sense that QuFox ain't gonna read whole suggestion of everyone and typing different messages to everyone there are more than 250 suggestions.

Just once imagine if he gonna do this it could take a decade.

 

[EA0_2_0_8_]

There is a difference between "reading the whole suggestion" and "handling the suggestions with one automated bot/macro".

 

[Your_Death_450]

I know that they using bots for it but they do this with bug reports

 

[EpicMiner001]

Developer handles an extremely large workload, and with the number of suggestions PikaNetwork gets daily, it’s not realistic to expect detailed replies on every post. Denials aren’t meant to disrespect anyone’s effort, but are often done due to time, feasibility, or long-term balance. The dev team already does a lot behind the scenes to keep the server running smoothly. Hopefully players can understand these limitations.

YOu missed the point clearly You say "As staff, our role is just to sort suggestions into accepted or denied so the developers can focus on what’s useful, we are not the ones to make decision on what will be implemented and what will not." But i only see Qufox handling the suggestions. Except you and a few others there are no staff who do this. Yall say devs dont have time while all the other staff are putting the burden on devs themselves.

 

[Deadsoul125]

I get what yall mean but look

(1) This suggestion is just " add this thing from hypixel ". This suggestion got a reply from arrly with a clear reason as to why it was denied.

(2) I actually spent time making this suggestion and all i get is "Your suggestion is denied, figure out the reason yourself. We couldnt be bothered to give you a clear response"

This feels unfair and is unfair. ATleast give me a good reason so i can see what improvements can be made.

Our staff team's primary focus is on staffing support, rather than involvement in the gamemodes development process. To provide a more precise understanding of our function, we assist the development team by alleviating their workload in organizing and filtering community suggestions. However, we are NOT responsible for the suggestions themselves.

Indeed, Qufox handles these suggestions, which is due to the nature from his role as a game producer. Ideas are presented to the development team, and their decisions regarding implementation are based on alignment with their overall vision for the game, irrespective of the suggestion's general popularity.

That is what I agreed to, as I mentioned above. Comments can be made to players about their suggestions and what could possibly be improved upon. However, please acknowledge that this is time-consuming, or some suggestions simply do not align with their vision for the game.

More staff should be engaging with suggestions and not just dump it all on devs or daddy Qufox
1. Make a council of staff (helpers, trials or mods)
2. This council manages suggestions on a daily or regular basis
3. They deny the bad ones or which are to be denied
4. They give a clear reason to atleast the suggestions that are good but cant be accepted
5. This council does not "accept" suggestions rather they pass them like a test
6. The passed suggestions could then be reviewed by devs if they are going to be impleted or not.
7. Then the devs either deny it or accept it with clear reasons

This reduces the workload on devs and why have helpers and trials if devs are gonna do most of the work. I havent seen many people with trial and helper actually "helping" the community.
