I thought this idea would help in community engaging in choosing future SSB.

Voting system
  • One post with final 3-6 possibilities of future SSB that have been approved by Spyro which will have voting section, open for limited time period.
  • SSB section on discord
    • open for limited time period
      • suggestion 1 week, limited to one post per person
      • voting 1 month time (maybe more time for both)
    • only those which are selected by Spyro from previous suggestion will be uploaded as final post for people to vote
      • maybe another section for this.
      • this section would also be on discord - as a link, or as a post.
      • I would prefer it to be the Post on forum, if we could get more people to create account and engage on forums. So it would idealy be posted as a forum link just as the announcements.
        • But downside of this is that people might not like going into forum for voting as it will make them have some extra steps/some problems might occur (creating account problem - not receiving the email, waiting time, etc. )

If this would go through, I think it will increase the opportunity for people to feel involved, and be more engaging in both discord and forum communities.

SSBs are still limited to which season they are related. It's either (1) Spyro already chosen the best 3 SSBs for one season and players have to rank them from 1 to 5 and the highest voted SSB will be released first on first month of that season, 2nd place is released second, and the least voted is 3rd, or (2) Spyro lists three SSB options and players chose the best one, the winner SSB will be released for that season and the remaining 2 SSBs will be random (I like to surprise myself).

I like this, however, I was aiming for more options of SSB choices - there could be ones in suggestion section that can fit both the theme and the relation to the season, and I feel that there are a lot of sets can be released according to that standard. And the final post of user-suggested SSB will be chosen by Spyro, and then people can vote from there; so it will still be Spyro's choices on which ones can be selected as SSB according to his standard.

And voting system will advantage...

  • If there are more than 3 SSB to choose from, it will cause less arguments among users as it will be users selecting the next SSB.
  • Provides Spyro better options to choose from - as in users will be glad if their choices are included, and that it will bring more positive reactions on the community.
  • give more chance to people who couldn't find and vote on forum, to be able to vote on discord - more engagement, a little bit of more user-based or user-friendly content that can also affect the community in good ways.

I would say even if there could be choice of 1-3 SSB possibilities to vote on for at least one next SSB - users' choice, users will most likely to be very glad. But also, it could be even better if the other two SSB could be chosen by users too, balancing out the problem where users would only buy one SSB over another.

More Additions

  • First SSB 1-3 choices to vote on
  • Second - third 1-3 choices to vote on based on ranking system, 1st and 2nd will be placed as SSB after the first one
  • These are just extra opinions on how I would see the voting system to be applicated as. I honestly think even after people voting, it doesn't have to be implied that way. It could be implemented as just First SSB choice being able to choose from 1-3 options, and other two could be just be Spyro's choice. But voting would definetely help on Spyro, I hope.

I like the part where you said you like surprising yourself, I would be glad to be surprised with a special drop on some of the SSBs too. But the problem comes up if the surprise is something that people would not be glad about... It could bring out completely different reaction though, when it's a good surprise. My thought on this is that the other choices of sets that weren't chosen could be brought out as a surprise for some people who wanted those on SSB.

Thank you for your reply, Hellborus.

Do keep in mind that each SSB release contains about 5-7 sets of items of various sizes (2-6 items per set).

If we're speaking about voting, I assume this is to vote for a specific set to be added to a specific month.

Since the start of Season of Jolly 2021, players will now be able to vote for 1 NX Set on the SSB Suggestion Thread, which can be found here.

Approved.
