Pirates Online Survey (Merged)

[Jack I]

Just curious, is there a link to this survey that could be posted where everyone could take it, or is the survey something that logs by your IP or login information that could not be shared? While still playing, paid, and somewhat active I haven't received such a survey - possibly because Disney doesn't like to converse with me at all anymore - and was wondering if there was some way the survey could be put out where everyone is available to make an opinion.

They may still be sending them out. I have a friend with two account that got the survey on different days. So it may be they are sending them out in groups.

The secound they found out I pay for the game, they closed my survey...Have no idea why.

Thank for your participation than that's it.

[Basil Dreadflint]

Yeah, I got the survey. And, like Kaionai, as soon as I told them I paid for the game, was unlimited, they decided that they didn't want my opinion anymore.

I tried twice, and it happened both times. Then I tried by telling them that I wasn't a paying player, and it started asking me the questions, so I closed the window.

Apparently, all the opinion is for is to gather info on how to entice non-payers to start paying.


I will say this: If you get to the part asking about what changes and additions you want, choose carefully. If you pick everything, or even half of the options, then your choices have less power.

I'm a paying member and I got all the questions. In the email they sent you to tell you about the survey there is an address to contact them with in case of problems. I had a problem with it ( kept asking for my user name over and over again) and they responded quickly when I reported it.

So shoot them an email, if you like.

I am a paying member and it asked me all of the questions some were good but some were just rediculous like "Do you like to manipulate or annoy other players in game" but hopefully they will listen!

I received this survey, indicated I am a paying member for the longest period they gave as a choice, and received the entire questionaire/survey. Didnt see that it was targeting paying vs non-paying. Seemed to me they wanted to know what we thought of the game, and what we wanted to see in it. (not that they will actually listen) Hope they do!

As far as asking for changes we want, and multiple selections resulting in less power?
Not the way they gave the survey.
They give that list TWICE in the survey.
First check all you would like to see, then again to choose only 3.

I got it as well. They gave us a note of what is to come. But they didnt give us a timeframe? So my guess is that the next update is the Loot and Inventory with New weapons, but where does redesigned forests come into all of this?
Anyway, some of the things they told of to come intrigued me. Guild ships, Character classes, dungeons, raids, and more PvP games? I'm not sure, but did they mention something with Privateering? I'm really glad at new ship classes, ship customization, pirate hideouts, trading ( i have been waiting for this for a year and a quarter ), new storylines ( finally!, not saying that Invasions and Casa were not part of the story till now ), etc. They asked me whether i wanted a role in the story, and to manipulate it, I said YES. But i strongly disagreed with meeting with POTC film characters, annoying people, etc.
I didnt see the "Others" entry, where i could have suggested a redesigning of all that hasnt been redesigned yet. I also should have said main islands should have long distances between them, and that enemy ships should have accurate movement. I wonder why they haven't come up with anything to do with Guilds yet, new features and all.
I gave the game a 4 rating, and my favorite of all that is to come is working for the Company, Navy, Jones, and Jolly. Basically i think i would initially go with the Company, not get involved in pirate wars, as a merchant trader, then change allegiances to the Casa de Muertos, but till then I'd be with the Rage's Marauders guild .

I received this survey as well. I heard from many people about it, and I was looking forward to giving my opinion, only to be let down again. It only asked me about 5 questions. Im going to redo the survey, and not tell them im a paying member. Gonna see if that works!

Well, that made no difference!!! Heres the link I got, is it the same as yours? Just curious...

At this point it indicated 13% of the survey was done.


When I answered question number 6, I got....

Thank you for your time. Thank you for your willingness to share your opinion with us. We hope you'll continue to participate in future surveys, as we value your opinions.

This royally ticks me off.

I sent off an email of course.

Ladies and Gentlemen:

I'm emailing you regarding your survey.

That was the most useless survey I've ever seen. The only information that you asked for was generic basic data info. Now if it was truly your purpose to figure out how old I am, if I am the one who plays the game, and if I have paid for other games, then you got what you wanted.

I was expecting more than that. I was expecting something more along the lines of how do I think POTCO is doing in regards to providing the gaming population with an enjoyable game (When I started two yrs ago, I would have said great...not so anymore). Or if I am content with POTCO's lack of new content during these past two years (I'm not). Your survey didn't even ask my account name.

Thanks for a useless survey, hopefully this does not indicate the trend in which your game is currently heading.

[MacIronhawk]

lostmymarbles, exactly what did you answer for number six?

I asnwered POTCO and for specific toontown. And then I got about thirty more questions after that which went into great detail about the game like what I wanted to see in the future and if anything affected my gameplay.

There might have been a bug for you, because the survey ceretainly wasn't useless to me.

Personally, I think this survey is going to help the developers decide what they need to do to make the game better. All the questions they asked me made me feel like my opinion was important to them.

[lostmymarbles]

I answered yes that I payed for Pirates and for LOTRO. I also went back and tried to answer it as nonpaying as I also have a basic account. Still got the same short survey.

Edit: I forgot about toontown..I might try that as I also have a TT account for a grandchild

Edit again.. I tried again.. still got the abbreviated version of the survey. Sorry but this was useless and infuriating, especially since I have been a paying customer since Dec 2007. I stick by my opinion of the survey.

[MacIronhawk]

I can see why you're frustrated.

That's really just... odd, because I said I was a paying member and it let me answer a lot of questions. Can't really tell you why that happened, but all I know is the survey I took was fine, but the one you took is... annoying. Six questions and you're done seems like a waste of time.

Mine went exactly 1 question futher. It asked if I played for free or paid for the game. As soon as I said I paid for playing, I got the thank-you.

I have decided that even Disney's surveys are glitched! If they can't even make a survey work properly, then how in the world can they make the game work properly?
