You must register or log in to post a message.oh and congrats murat, toughman, and oldmtnguy for all the great lvls, but i cannot solve either one of them. it would be nice to have a little hint to help me get started. I guess JP has dimished Jyxz RP manually when Jyxz came (as he were commenting all levels he played and very negative on some). Who knows... P.S. i guess though rating power is +-10/+-20 from our 'Level' as J and I have the same level (18) but differ on the power. And this should be the same for rating high. If they weren't anonymous, and you could see who rated, it would make user mod work easier (to see if same person rates all levels from an other user 1/5) for example. About completing a level... I usually rate levels good if I find them fun, they have some cool new concept idea, or then they have extremely cool looking layout (and others who have completed it say it is good in comments). At least don't rate because of category, as it might be MY own personal opinion about the difficulty. JP you could make it so that you can't rate low levels if you don't comment too (and for example set it show on comments how much he rated the level). This would help also as no one wants to show that he is 1 rater on a extremely good level (for example he wants to set down the rating because he doesn't like the designer or something. In all cases, I am one of those who believe you should only rate a level when you solve it. By doing this you will avoid all low ratings based on the difficulty and you will value the votes which refer to skillful design, fun and challenging solution. If rating is actually based on how fun or interesting a level is, I don't get how someone votes without first solving it. I am sure I can get a very well designed, funny level etc, but (literaly or metaphoricaly) IMPOSSIBLE to solve. As it stands right now i could receive a 5/5 but would that mean anything? Thankfully Jxyz proved a point last week with his 'Stupid,but possible' level which was almost impossible to solve (ok it probably had only one solution in a millions of combination) but this level could have been rated 5/5. I believe we could get something good out of this and improve the game. P.S. I pay my respects to all designers - good or bad doesn't make any difference to me - first for at least trying and second for actually succeeding in making my (our) time enjoyable and fun. I play every signle game (good-bad, rejected, accepted, etc) just ot be up to date. Frankly, some rejected levels have given me some ideas for new levels so I won't get tired saying this. Keep Drawing Guys!! Many websites provides ratings, but so far I don't know one website that has solved the problem of unfair ratings, it's a very difficult one. For the average rating of a level, you must know that each rater has a weight (depending on experience level and other many things). So if user with low wieght give 1/5 and another with heavy weight gives 5/5, the average will not be 3/5 but maybe 3.7/5 or something like that. EDIT : by the way, 1500 approved levels today, congrats to all designers! I try to remember to rate levels, because I know designers need the feedback, but lets be honest anyone can rate shouldnt look much into it, for instance I know for a fact people give levels 1/5 for them being "too hard" what kind of bad joke is that? PS: I think we all can agree that you and murat especially have brought this game into a new era of excellence with just the shear quantity of very high qaulity levels you have made. I agree with both Elizea and ToughMan, it is just annoying that people rate levels down with no reason. A rating or comment is the only feedback we have as designers. And constructive criticism is acceptable and appreciated, but a crappy rating to anyone without a reason chaps me off. If you don't like a level, at least have the guts to say why. Don't rate poorly just because you are frustrated or you can't solve it. Crappy ratings discourage designers, and that means fewer submissions, and eventually no game. So we need to work together if want to continue playing. If there is something you like or want, post it here. There are enough designers that I am sure someone will step up and fill your needs. This game and BonusLevel needs this to survive! | Games forumPlay Game "BLockoban"First post of the topic16 official levels now. All levels are great. I must say I'm a big fan of Psychotronic's levels (thx Psycho). When a level is "only" accepted, it doesn't mean it will not be official one day, it's just I'm not sure for now. |
