1. Get Funding! (Kickstarter or Inverstors)

   Currently, the game is reaching massive appeal - and I'm sure your subscriber base is expanding exponentially (friends tell friends etc...) however - your servers cannot handle the load and consistently puts out the "We're making SuperBetter SuperBetter right now!" (I'm sure you know this - unless you are completely out of touch with the site!)

   When I first joined - it would happen once every few minutes, however now it feels like it is happening ALL THE TIME (I tried to add a power up 5 times in a row and I kept getting that message)

   I recognize for a 'Concept ARG' that you may not want to charge for the service just yet (and that's a separate suggestion), so that's not what I'm proposing here.

   This game does not exist 'in a vacuum' as far as new sites starting up go. You have all the support the BOTH of Jane McGonigal's Ted Talks bring to it - as a game player AND a game developer she has inspired me personally and professionally and flipped a LIFETIME (35 years) of depression on it's head overnight! You also have the support of Jane McGonigal's book.

   Investors would JUMP on a site like this. The potential is huge - and the growth must be huge or your server wouldn't be having this much trouble. My business coach is certain that you could easily raise $1M in a month (more if Jane takes an active roll in the other networks she is in.)

   You want to know who reffered me to superbetter? My PSYCHOLOGIST! She hadn't played it herself but it came up at a peer work/career type meeting and when she thought of games she though of me. (And my rec. therapist at the same clinic said gamers make up a large number of her clients and they are challenging to deal with)

   If mental health professionals are starting to use your site - it means you have something good going! My business coach also started looking at the site when I told him about it and mentioned I was using it for MORE than just depression (Working x hours a day is a Quest!)

   Please, please don't drop the ball on this site - it has so much potential and, like I said, flipped a depression so ingrained I probably had it even as a young child (learned behaviours from my mother) and I believed Joy and Happiness were non-existant. Between This and Jane's books and Ted Talks I have not had a day where I was depressed since (My 'low days' since mid-January have been right near my 'high days' before mid-January)

   When I see things like support requests getting auto-responded with "We're not answering emails" it greatly concerns me. I'd really hate a project with such amazing potential to truly change lives go into 'abandonware'.

   Jane McGonigal wants to see a game developer win the nobel peace prize - and she's sitting on something that has the potential to 'cure' depression in gamers*, and thus might make this dream a reality!

   (*by making us aware of exactly what they need to bring into their real lives and tips on how to do that! Also gives us a sense of purpose and helps us see video games as NOT being the problem!)

   Currently, the game is reaching massive appeal - and I'm sure your subscriber base is expanding exponentially (friends tell friends etc...) however - your servers cannot handle the load and consistently puts out the "We're making SuperBetter SuperBetter right now!"

2. One touch for indicating completion of quests and power ups

   It would be really nice if you could indicate the completion of a quest or the use of a power up with one click on the main list instead of having to go to the page for that specific quest or power up

   We’re working on including a small lightning bolt icon that you can click to quickly indicate completion from the list view. We had to make it two initially due to issues we saw in user testing where people would double click and accidentally complete a quest without even seeing what it was :)

3. Organization and Progress

   I think it would be great to be able to organize quests according to importance and also to have the ability to have a new quest open up that is linked to a previous quest.

   We’re working on the ability to click and drag quests around so you can change the order.

   Currently, if you have a powerpack, when you complete certain quests you’ll unlock others. Is that similar to what you were thinking?

4. Allow User to put Quests in order, rather than the random? order they now end up in.

   This is really about the interface in general for the listed items that the user enters, but I notice it most keenly in quests right now.
   I want my quests to be in alphabetical order, or at least to have the option to list quests by alpha, chronological, or random order. This would be very helpful, because I am breaking down tasks into smaller parts and making each a quest... and naming related tasks in related ways that would show up wonderfully in an alphabetical order.

5. Baddies shouldn't just be 'avoided'

   When we battle a bad guy, it only asks if you have 'successfully avoided' this today. I understand that question with the traps, but shouldn't triggers/symptoms have a different question? (e.g. have you successfully overcome this today?)

   I didn't avoid coming into battle with my trigger today but I did manage to prevent it from become an all out war for my day, so I would prefer to not be saying i successfully avoided it.

6. Removing Heroes

   I can't seem to find the way to remove certain Heroes from my Ally section.

   I have two Hero's there that are inactive accounts, and I'd like to remove them because they are a distraction and also seem to be negatively influencing my "rock" status.

8. Skip button could be implemented differently?

   I like that we have a skip button now, but it only allows you to permentantly remove a quest, which is exactly what the 'delete' button does. Sometimes we still want to do a quest, but it is not possible right now, so it would be good to be able to come back to it later.

   Can we have a way to either bring a skipped quest back from the 'past' or just have the skip button bump it a week please?

9. Super Teams -- User ally groupings

   I noticed there are lots of folks in the ally forum talking about the same issues, and volunteering to be each other's allies. For those like me who are a little less likely to stick our neck out, but still could use the help of other people's wisdom, maybe informal groups or clubs could be formed that, say, deal with similar issues, or similar epic wins, or hobbies. That's a super way to get social resilience, and a lot easier than committing to one-on-one help with a stranger!

   Groups could, for instance, not only discuss the kinds of issues they face, and the sorts of quests, power-ups, and bad guys they might engage, but they could dispense group quests/etc to all group members (optional of course) like a live power pack. The possibilities are numerous! And, after all, Batman and Superman hang out together a lot, but sometimes they have the whole Justice League backing them up, and that's pretty powerful!

11. Very Buggy, Poor Interface Design

    I am blown away by the idea of this site. I am a fan of Jane McGonigal and a game design student in Montreal (almost finished). I have had a similar idea but of much more limited scope--so I'm definitely a fan of this project. But it seems like an alpha version.

    The interface is exceptionally poorly designed and confusing. And buggy. Just a few quick examples.

    1) I was able to invite myself as a friend and now appear as my own ally, even having received email saying, "Andrew Kozloski, you have just agreed to be an ally of Andrew Kozloski!"

    2) My girlfriend appears twice in my ally list.

    3) It seems difficult, almost impossible to view the profile of my allies.

    4) I am encouraged to frequently "Check In" with my allies, but in so doing, I receive no actual information about their progress whatsoever and neither are they informed of the fact that I was showing interest in their progress.

    5) The system of point/progression feels not very connected to the activities I comple and it is unclear where I am headed with my increasing experience levels.

    This is just off the top of my head. Seriously, I'm a great fan of the idea but this game feels like it has been published half a year early or something. Are these issues being looked at?

14. More specific (or apparently specific) powerpacks

    the ones suggested seemed too generic to be as much use as I'd hoped for -- I don't know that they are, but from the titles, they seemed that way -- so I went for the custom option even though I would have liked to start with a powerpack.

    The more specific the power pack, the more specialized research we need and the more specialized experts we need to find. We’re certainly in the process of building out our Power Pack library, but the more specific, the more time it takes, as a general rule :)

15. Bad guy doesn't disappear when vanquished

    I vanquished "TV Kinda Rots Your Brain" and got +10 Physical Resilience and leveled up. Then I noticed it was still listed with "1 win", so I went in and vanquished it again for another +10 and "2 wins". This made me smile, because although I don't watch much TV, I am still pretty sedentary. Assuming bad guys are supposed to go away when vanquished, please fix this and issues like this.

    Also, please put me down as a user who would like an Android app. :)

16. Multiples of the same quests

    When I started I had a whole list of quests for creating my epic win, my first bad guy, first power up etc. These came from "Mobile Tutorial" (I signed up on an iPhone using safari) I also downloaded the iPhone app after that. That was last night, today I've used the website on a normal computer, and now I have more tasks similar to those initial ones from "Tutorial Quests" Doesn't bother me a lot, just wonder if you can prevent it as it might be confusing for people to see tasks come back when they've already completed them.

    The to do list has been notoriously fickle. We’re pushing additional fixes tonight that should solve all related to do issues. Stay tuned!

19. Is there a way to prioritise quests?

    Currently, the To Do list seems to pick three quests almost at random. It will only register that you have done three quests if you do the ones it picks, even if you have done more than three, but not the pre-selected options.

    Is there a way to either get the To Do list to recognise that you have done other quests, or to de-select those quests and prioritse your own?

    It might be nice to be able to go in the morning and click something to say "today I choose to work on --."

    We’re actually in the process of implementing exactly that – you’ll be able to specify “Do Today” on quests or “Not Today” if they’re already on your To Do.

    The fact that it’s only registering the quests on your To Do is a bug – will investigate!

20. Done today change

    Great that you've added 'Done Today' to Quests. Can you please add it to other categories such as Power Ups.

    Should be coming to Power-ups shortly! Do you think it would be useful on bad guys? Since bad guys aren’t a thing you need to do, they’re just something that happens, we didn’t think it was as helpful…
