    It's a in game poll and in order to be accepted it must collect at least 70% of intention from voting players.

    So every universe needs to do its own poll to have deut to DF enabled?

    Why was this approach chosen? Other communities got it enabled for every universe without polls. Why do you make it so complicated?


    And why do you make every feature into a bazillion server settings? I really don't understand this. Every new universe starts with Deut to DF, so eventually every server will have it anyway.


    I really don't understand the need of this unnecessary bureaucracy.

    I think that deadheart23 is smart enough to know that the decision-makers at GameForge don't spend their days wandering around the various community forums and hearing everyone's opinions.

    That's a lot of assumptions. A lot of people don't even know that the Board and Game Teams aren't paid employees by Gameforge.

    Also, if Gameforge doesn't spend their time to listen to user feedback on the forums, then that's awfully customer-unfriendly, don't you think? Imagine the big players like Blizzard being like "you can post all you want on our forums but we won't read it haha". Seems very cocky of Gameforge to me.


    We're the intermediaries, and if a request seems realistic and is approved by a large number of players, we make sure to pass it on.

    You need to make up your mind. Are you intermediaries who have some sort of impact on what Gameforge does or can you not do anything about Gameforge policies as stated in your first post?


    So even if his subject addresses GameForge directly, he won't get any feedback from them.

    This would be a more fitting first reponse to this thread. "Don't waste your breath on anything, nobody cares."

    I didn't misunderstand you. See:

    but I simply explained to him why we can't do much about universe openings. As I explained, it's GameForge's policy and we have no impact on it.

    Yes and that's exactly what I understood and what I criticized you for. He's talking to Gameforge to change it and not to you, so why are you saying you have no impact on it? It's like I would go to Blizzard forums and reply to criticism with "sorry but that's Blizzard policy, I can't change anything there". It doesn't make sense. He's not asking you to change it. He's asking Gameforge.

    There's not much we can do about it, these are GameForge's decisions and we're just relaying them.

    May I remind you that this is the OGame board that is ran by Gameforge and not the "what the volunteer team can and cannot do" board?

    Stop taking every feedback as critique on the volunteer team, it's getting really annoying.

    Of course that's the post that triggered you... I don't need you to confirm it.. It's a valid comment on the state of the universe which you have no implications in.


    Considering your past acquaintances, I believe you should be the last one throwing rocks. Truthfully, your stock has spectacularly plummeted in the past few years... from programmer extraordinaire to generic online troll... I would focus on myself, personnally.

    When confronted with your massive hypocrisy, one of you engages in whataboutism and the other in ad hominems/personal attacks. Need I say more?

    I don't see you or your sideman's name mentioned in Blue's post but I'll assume you got triggered by... this?

    How did you infer that I got triggered by his post? He made a post accusing others of things, and I pointed out the massive hypocrisy, just like you said. And then he started engaging in whataboutism.


    Isn't that exactly what you said? "whenever someone replies by pointing out the massive hypocrisy"? Have you maybe considered being consistent in your logic?

    Lifeforms is a Ogame expansion and not a specs thing, about Deuterium on Debris Field is a characteristic that could be or not be activated.

    That's exactly what I'm criticizing: why? Why does Gameforge make all features into a bazillion new universe settings? It doesn't make sense to make deut to DF a server setting.

    Just enable Deut to DF in all old unis without a poll like other communities already do:


    Enable Deut into DF in all old unis


    I don't get this "make every new feature a universe setting and require players to vote for it" mentality. Gameforge doesn't make Lifeforms a uni setting and have us vote on whether or not we want it also, right? Why do we need to vote on Deut to DF then? Just enable the damn thing.

    It actually does matter, because of the increased chance to get a moon, without the bbuilding or a special event, the chance of a moon being created is never over 20%, which I have had 12 tries on previous years and still didn't get a moon at 20%. The increase of the moon chance matters and I don't consider it to be useless. However, due to the fact that is apparently only for that planet, that does make it more useless as it is so far into the tech tree, it isn't worth getting on a planet. Would be much more useful if it worked for all planets. Uber fail on the part of Ogame.

    Just wait for a moonshot event where you can get 40% chances. The increased chance that the building provides is the most useless part of the building.

    Your argument is basically. They are doing it over there. It's difficult to get done on our own. Please do it for us.

    No, my argument is basically the same as the arguments that lead to the decision to enable it everywhere in DE without polls.


    Why are you arguing for deuterium into debris fields, and not Flight time/consumption ignores empty/inactive systems, probe storage or DiDF?

    Flight time/consumption ignores empty/inactive systems is a (IMO dumb) mechanic that changes the game fundamentally. It can be fun as a niche setting.

    DiDF and probe storage are similar. They change how the game is played, and it makes sense to have them as server setting because of that.


    Deut into DF doesn't change how the game is played. It doesn't make sense to turn every feature into a bazillion different server settings. Why is Lifeforms not treated the same? Why is Deut into DF?
