I am really disappointed that the surveys were closed with no notice. It took me until now to find them and their threads are locked and the surveys are closed. I would think that if you actually wanted to get a reasonable cross section of players opinions, you would keep them open longer than a week. :(

Yeah, I didn't get to fill out the 3.0 survey either. My thought was I'd wait until stable hit, play it long enough to give it an honest shot, then fill out the survey. Unfortunately the survey ended before 3.0 got out of experimental.

You snooze, you lose! 😁

But seriously, I was thinking the same, that I would wait until stable and then fill out the survey... Which is exactly what TFP / Behaviour should have done to get more data from more people.

I wish I could write it like a resume the bandit one mostly because all the stuff they listed is stuff I want but I wanted to Rank it from most to least

That was one of my comments on the survey I filled out. They're asking me about how I felt about certain features and I had only a couple of days to experience them. I think I suggested they follow up with more surveys later.

That's right! There was a survey about 3.0 and also one about bandits. The weird thing is that one had a link on X and the other one was posted here on the forum. Why not have both on both places???

I did see both posted here, but I missed the first one for 3.0 before it finished. I did do the bandit one.

@faatal
Does | and "/> end a line the same way?
Click to expand...
No. One means the line continues and the other that it ends., but that is not a complete explanation. | Is used in some languages to show that the line continues on the next line. /> Is used to end something like an XML line.

I'm presently editing the entityclasses.xml

This line is from the wolf AI Target 3 of 4
<property name="AITarget-3" value="SetNearestEntityAsTarget class=EntityPlayer,0,0,EntityEnemyAnimal,10,10,EntityBandit,20,-10,EntityAnimalRabbit,10,10,EntitySupplyCrate,0,50"/>

This line is from Zombies template
SetNearestEntityAsTarget class=EntityPlayer,0,0,EntityEnemyAnimal,10,10,EntityBandit,20,-10,EntityAnimalRabbit,10,10,EntitySupplyCrate,0,50|
"/>
The zombiestemplate line is the last in that grouping this is on the line by it self as a closing "/>

I was going to copy and paste, but I don't want to make a mistake. I made backups, just in case.

EDIT: I found what I had done wrong, I hadn't copied the entire line I missed the starting " and the data=
Notepad++ compare to the original file showed it . Thanks for the help.

That was probably an automatic thing with whatever software they are using to write the XML in. The line was just a little too long, so it did that. I can't imagine a programmer chose to write it that way. You can easily remove the | and put it on the same line unless there is some limitation in the game for reading long lines.

One of the original devs behind Path of Exile, Chris Wilson, put a video out about player surveys about a month ago. Food for thought.

I think it depends on how it is done. There are companies who have fine surveys and it worked really well, while it causes programs for others. Surveys based on features you are adding that just help to prioritize how they are added are less likely to be a problem.

He basically says that in the beginning. I didn't see the 3.0 survey, but the bandits survey isn't the type he was saying shouldn't be done.
