Survey on Planetside in general

[Metroshica]

I'm very excited for PS2, just like everybody else. I'm also one of the many newcomers to the franchise, and I absolutely love hearing about everyone else's war stories and experiences from the original. Since I love data, I thought it'd be a fun idea to throw together a survey asking about experiences from the original, and expectations for the sequel. If interested, I'm more than willing to share the responses I get here as well. Thanks guys!

You can take the survey here at http://survey.qualtrics.com/SE/?SID=SV_emulCimvsAS3Ch7

Edit: As of right now, we have about 850 responses so far. I've created a report that shows the results. The report will by dynamically updated as more people take the survey, so if you haven't taken it yet, please do!

Here are the results! http://survey.qualtrics.com/WRReport...Z1b6bzFlP&P=CP

I tried my best to get as many text responses as I could in the report, but I can only do so much. If you're interested, you can download all the text responses in an XLS file. I will be creating a second report based on the text response for a more exact number.

Second Edit: Echrome from /r/planetside took all the text responses I exported in the question "What are you least excited about in PlanetSide2?", categorized the responses and put results in a google doc. You can see the results at https://docs.google.com/spreadsheet/...hdXZ3MVE#gid=0. Very interesting to see where the concerns in the community are.

Welcome to the club.

You'll get your secret decoder ring in the mail a week after go live, like we all did.

Wow, over 300 responses so far, thanks for the input guys! It's really interesting to see the data, and I'm excited to show you guys the responses. I put a lot of text field entries in, as I didn't want preset answers to be too restricting for certain questions (biggest worry, biggest expectation, etc). However, there doesn't seem to be a good way to show all the text entries besides exporting a csv file. I'll definitely still do that, I want everyone to see all the data, but I think I'm going to make a second survey and add answer options to those questions based on the results I've received. Thanks again guys!

Careful the mods banned polls, so i don't know if this is allowed.

Do you happen to know why they did that by any chance?

Done, not a bad survey.

Combination of the "Interesting Polls" sticky and a bunch of Poll spam.

Because Hamma is TR, and that is what TR does


Very well done survey Metroshica, very intrigued to see if anything fun will be done with the results.

Nice to see you guys like the survey. I actually work for the company, Qualtrics, but since I do all their server side IT work, I'm actually not too familiar with our tool. This survey not only is giving me great information, but making me become more acquainted with our software as well.

I'm at about 600 responses so far, and it amazes me how the three empires are almost completely evenly divided. I'm hoping we can get about 1000 responses, and when we do, I'll post the results so far.

I did a lot of text responses, and while it's awesome to read through them (especially the stories from PS1 vets at the end), it's kind of hard to display the results. I think I'm going to export them as CSVs for people (hopefully including SOE) to read, and then based on the most popular responses, create a new survey that has responses people can choose from, to get hard answers.

I hope this survey isn't in violation of the no-poll rule, I'm hoping it provides more information than a single yes/no answer to one question.

Nicely done, looking forward to seeing how it turned out.

Different look and lore = different personality types. The TR gets the team players who would play healers and tankers in WoW, the smurfs get all the angsty teenagers who want big guns, and the Vanoobs get the smart (and smartass) kids who played practical jokes on each other in high school science lab.

We look forward to seeing the fruits of your labors.
