You need only look at the stats to see that a lot of our forum activity happens in the Suggestions section. It's great everyone has ideas for the game that we all love.
Recently Crimson-Artist suggested a manner for us developers to better communicate and acknowledge suggestions that we were planning, were interested in, or that weren't with our vision of the game.
As such we're now implementing prefixes into the suggestion forum to allow us to do just that. Below are the prefixes and what they stand for. You can search according to the prefix, or if viewing the suggestions forum, clicking on a prefix will filter the threads to just those with that specific prefix.
Implemented
The feature described in this suggestion is already implemented into the game in one form or another. Updates may happen to it but the bulk of what it is is already in the game.
In Development
The feature described in this suggestion is currently under development for implementation in the game. This doesn't mean it will be in the next release, it merely means that members of the development team are currently working on the development of this feature.
Planned
The feature described in this suggestion is currently either planned to be developed for the game, or there is plans for another feature that includes functionality similar to what is described in this suggestion.
Rejected
The feature described in this suggestion is not planned to be added into the game. This may be due to it being in a different direction to what is already implemented or planned, or it may clash with existing or upcoming features or systems of the game.
Recognized
As developers we have thought of a lot of ideas for the game, but sometimes there's ideas that just come out of nowhere that are actually really great ideas. The recognized prefix is for suggestions that we as developers are interested in. It doesn't mean we're necessarily making plans to implement them, but they're making us think and are genuinely good ideas.
Brainstorm This
Similar to the Recognized prefix, if we see an idea that we're interested in seeing the community try and develop a bit more, we'll tag it with this prefix. Let's see what the idea can turn into, when in doubt think bigger and then shrink from there if need be.
Read by Schine
This is to indicate suggestions we have read as developers. We might not be able to label it as planned or rejected just yet as we need to work on other features of the game first to really see if this suggestion will fit in; but we want to acknowledge that we've at least read it as developers. Compared to Recognized, these are ideas we've talked through ourselves already and just not sure yet at the moment, or they're suggestions we might want to come back to and review at a later date, but at least you know they've been read by the developers, and we'll most likely leave a message explaining ourselves.
Read by Council
Similar to Read by Schine, Read by Council indicates that the Council has seen this suggestion. They might not know if it's planned or rejected but they've read it and are noting it down to come back to with an answer from the developers at a later date.
Recognized by Council
This is for when the Council have read an idea and as a council wish to recognize it as a good idea. These ideas are ones they make sure to report back to Schine on, but they're ones that definitely interest the Council.
