Enshrouded Feeback Board Lets Players Vote for New Features
Thus far, seven features have already received more than 5,000 upvotes, with the number one vote-getter bringing in over 14,000 votes. That feature is the addition of play-based quest progression. Currently, quests are server-based, which means that if one player completes the quest on a server, it’s completed for everyone. This would make it possible for everyone to finish each quest. The good news is that this feature is already currently planned, so fans can rest assured that it’ll eventually be added to the game.
The next most upvoted suggestion is a weather system. Unlike player-based quest progression, this (and almost every other suggestion) is still an open suggestion, meaning that Keen Games hasn’t committed to adding it to the game. After the weather, the rest of the features with more than 5,000 upvotes are life skill progression, water, livestock/animals, base raids, and workshop craft from storage.
Of course, as players continue to vote, other features will continue to fly up the list. For example, features like dual wielding, roaming mini-bosses, and mounts are going to be very popular among the playerbase. They just haven’t gotten quite as many upvotes yet. The board has only been open for a few weeks, so we’re just now seeing the first returns. Plus, now that new suggestions are turned off, Enshrouded players will probably start to vote even more moving forward since they can’t add their suggestions.
It is worth noting that Keen Games says that these features are not currently their top priority. Instead, the team is focused on fixing major issues like crashes and game-breaking bugs. They want the game to be relatively stable before adding new content to Enshrouded. They also make it clear that a suggestion having a ton of upvotes doesn’t mean it’ll be added to the game. The developers have the final say and want to make the features fit into their vision for Enshrouded.
That said, Keen Games is doing everything it can to give Enshrouded players as much of a say in the game’s early access direction as possible. With the first patch released recently, we’ll likely start to hear more about the first new features in the next few weeks.
Enshrouded is out now on PC.
