To much bad levels on cool page

Archive: 22 posts


I think that there is to much compleatly worthles levels on cool page. I am so tired of seeing completly worthless levels ending up on the first cool page, while levels you made your'e self that is so much better never get more than 100 plays =/

So here is a few suggestions on how to keep worthless levels on the trash and get only good levels at cool pages.

* worthless level filter. Any level with default sticker, no description, or no name should never make it into cool pages. This filter should allso be usable while searching at tags or new levels i think.

* all new level(Not made by someone who allready is good enough and had levels at cool page be4) should have equal change of getting to cool page unless they are worthless. And should move up or down depending on how many hearts/ranking/comments it gets.

* 100 percent skill. MM should have an email were you can send 1 level per month to them. And they will test every level. If they think a level is good enough they will place it at first cool page for a week. So you will have 100 percent cool page if your'e level is extremly good. Of course only a limited ammount per week should be there.

* Cool page should not be the same for everyone. Levels from hearted creators should automaticly end up on cool page, Allso you should be able to select 3 fav tags and levels matching theese tags should en up in your'e personal first cool page.

I think they should really consider having this. Really. Im so tired of seing worthless levels on cool levels while my levels never get there =P

A bit too extreme don't you think?
And would be too complicated to do any of those.
And besides, you're prctically saying no new creators unless they're absolute great at creating in the game....?
Yeah... no, i don't think any of these would be good ideas...

I agree with Silverleon. And I really can't take you seriously with all of the grammar and spelling mistakes 2009-05-17 19:41:00

What is worthless is completely subjective. The cool page is fair right now, the levels with the best rating, heart and activity are the one climbing the pages.

If people likes to play the new rocket ramps what can you do? Nothing. Everybody is having the same chances at the cool page. You need to advertise your level if you want to end up in there because the game doesn't do promotion. If you can't do it, I suggest you don't mind the cool pages.

If you're deceived because you wanted to play some good levels, have some hearted list hunt. Some LBPers are having huge and very interesting lists. Let me suggest you right away to go and check Jaeyden, me and Shearie. I know a couple of other guys with a nice list but I don't remember their name. Oh and check also Kappax's.

Anyways, another improvement could be made to the search and so good levels are standing out. They should simply implement 2 new attributes to a level: a choice of difficulty level and a category.
This would be effective filters. A real tag system would also be awesome. A tag system where it's the creator that put descriptive tags to his levels. This way you could have a tag search that would actually be useful.

They should have a Legendary page for all MM certified levels that have over 200,000 plays.

Yeah and the Cool Level pages should have Cool levels on them, not junk that took 5 hours to make. Like the bomb dropping ones. They were fun at first but now they are all boring. MM should only allow one type of type of level so there won't be 5 different levels on the Cool Level pages that are similar. Just on the first few pages, so there are more ideas that spread around... I don't know...

I agree with you, and I like some of those ideas, although they'd probably be too complex to implement into the game and it wouldn't be very fair. New creators would not really stand a chance if those things happened.2009-05-18 17:37:00

What you're suggesting is pretty much how it was in the beginning. Ramp was on page 1 and there was no chance for anyone just starting out. If a level is bad, it won't stay on cool levels for too long. If a level is good and people like it, it will rise to the top. While it's not a perfect system, it's better than it was in the beginning, isn't it?

I don't care for the cool levels system, as we all have heard before many times, so I just go through my friend's hearted pages now. It's much easier to find levels of quality this way. So why not try this out, doubletime?

Aren't the "Spotlighted Levels" actually the real good ones? I don't see cool levels forum as being the determining factor in how good a level is. I go to the spotlight lists for this.

That being said though, maybe "cool levels" isn't the term that is used here. How about "popular levels" or "busy level threads" or something of the sort.

I'm pretty sure he meant the "cool levels" area in the game, not in here... >_>

Yeah... I'm pretty sure Mm have it as good (or atleast close to) as its gonna get.

The cool levels system provides players with the most POPULAR levels. So... It is actually the players themselves who decide what makes it and what doesn't. Of course, a hell of a lotta really great levels just slip down and don't make it, but this is because the majority of lbp players are kids... They go for levels that catch their attention first, and not the more mature or though provoking levels....

I guess it'd be nice if the tagging system was better, you could search for kids levels. Or for challenging levels... Or for puzzle levels... Or story driven levels.
I think that might help things out a bit, but for now, Cool Levels will always be cool levels.

Search genres, difficulty, star rating as filters. Then, you get a completely randomized list of levels. If any of your friends have hearted levels that fit these requirements that you've not played, then they go to the top of the list.

And I'd also reccomend Jaeydens hearted list!

speaking of "rubbish"...it's become to most common tag I search for i swear and I almost feel bad.

Like so many people have said all over, even directly to MM, there needs to be other sortable categories for levels.
I normally can't figure out what I want to search for so I do go to the cool pages. I don't have many friends so I think I've played most of their hearted already.

It's lame how 1 popular level gets a ton of copy cats on the cool pages also.

Omg, i absolutely agree with you, of course there are cool levels, but also a lot of crap. But there are so many real cool levels that are played like 40 times or so. IT's not fair.. :d2009-05-23 13:18:00

I seriously want categories that creators can pick for levels, and difficulty ratings. And I haven't noticed that much sucky levels on the cool page, y'know? 2009-05-23 21:27:00
