Guiding Live Development With Real-Time Community Insight

Persona Focus: LiveOps / Game Producer or Director

Live - Ops Zendesk and Survey Analysis

The Business Challenge

LiveOps teams coordinate updates, events, and balance changes while ensuring each beat meets expectations. A critical challenge is distinguishing between loud community perception and actual technical blockers. PlayerXP supports this workflow by transforming scattered feedback and support data into structured insights for faster, evidence-based decision-making.

"By integrating Zendesk tickets and internal survey data directly into the platform, PlayerXP allows LiveOps teams to validate sentiment spikes against real player-reported issues."
Phase 01

Tracking Sentiment Across Live Content

PlayerXP allows teams to evaluate the reception of DLC, events, and patches separately. This granular visibility helps identify positive reactions or early signs of friction without manual investigation, ensuring developers understand exactly which aspects of a live event are praised or criticised.

Sentiment Segmentation

Evaluating patches, balance changes, and monetisation in isolation to pinpoint friction hotspots.

Creator Influence

Understanding how content creators shape player expectations and amplify feedback during high-impact releases.

Phase 02

Zendesk and Survey Validation

The platform's strength lies in connecting organic sentiment to verified support data. By mapping Zendesk tickets and internal survey responses alongside community discussions, LiveOps teams can distinguish between loud perception-driven trends and genuine technical problems that require immediate prioritisation.

"Features like Sentiment Drivers and the Topic Finder highlight specific topics influencing shifts in player reactions, supporting rapid adjustments in follow-up releases."

This structured approach ensures that maintenance and live development cycles remain aligned with player expectations while maintaining competitive organic share of voice across the market.
