Ok , firstly i will apologise to anyone who didn't want this to be common knowledge, ( sorry ) but most will probably leave a comment saying something along the lines of ' yeh, like, i knew that ages ago noobs' . I simply ask the latter don't bother : ) i've seen too many awesome levels with 50 plays & too many fledgling creators getting no joy from the creative side of the game. So suck it up people. To get to page 1 of cool levels .... 1. make sure your level works & plays correctly over & over again & also in multiplayer. 2. you must put effort in to make sure at least some people will enjoy playing in your creation. 3.you now have 7 days to try & get your hard work 'fixed' to the cool pages. when it is fixed the edges of your icon will not glow ( on cool pages ) 4.after 7 days your level will no longer 'fix' so older levels you are proud of should be published afresh. leave your previous level there if you are unsure, no harm done. 5.

haven't you missed like the main point of this, and that is the republishing trick? All that you have put here is the exact same information Mm disclosed when they changed the system.

Thats just common knowledge when publishing a level. You failed to mention the re-publishing trick even, which gets you onto cool levels, but in no way guarentees you 10,000+ plays. Unless of course its a bomb level, or the hardest level in LBP V.143.345, or something. I think everybody knows the steps you posted EDIT: Beaten to it by Jack

Is this a grolsh advert? "Schtop! This tutorial isn't ready yet" edit - actually shouldn't this be in tutorials?

Republishing is cheating, like H4H. 'nuff said.

Seems like CCubbage has a thread on this somewhere as well..

Only steps 1 and 2 are actually things you can do, and neither of them guarantee you 10 plays, never mind 10,000.

This has been known for months, I have seen dozens of levels on Lbp the that what you are repeating now, I don't know why you think it's a secret because it most certainly is not... Besides not every author wants 10,000 plays

I publish my once levels and hope for the best. Unfortunately, I'm going to guess it isn't working, as my most played level has ~300 plays.

5. ok, the trick is to republish your level over the top of the original as many times as you personally see fit within the first 2 days or that brief period of a week. 6. once it is fixed your level icon circle will begin to get larger. 7 NOTE ! YOU MUST EDIT YOUR LEVEL INBETWEEN EACH REPUBLISHING ! ( just add dark matter in an unseen corner etc ) 8. republishing a lot will keep your level temporarily on page 1 glowing for a few minutes. 9.about 500 plays will get your hard work 'fixed' to about page 7. 10. you can feel your way & work the best strategy out for yourself from here . 11. BUT REMEMBER YOU MUST EDIT & SAVE & REPUBLISH EACH TIME . ok, i hope this helps some creators out there that really think their time & hard work should be enjoyed by more people . i think it was the excellent ROULI BOULI WORLD that finally made me think this thread would be good for both players & enthusiastic downhearted creators .

I publish my once levels and hope for the best. Unfortunately, I'm going to guess it isn't working, as my most played level has ~300 plays. I do the same, minus minor tweaks etc. I never republish with getting back on the cool levels in mind. I try to stay away from them if anything tbh.

lmao. everybody just posted what i said not too . lool. anyway. i had to do it in 2 parts as its on the ps3 & was worried i'd weirdly lose everything i wrote . but well done

I personally don't care about how many plays I have on my level anyway though. I would say that I care about the heart to play ratio, but I don't care about that either, considering I've played my level at least 50 times, and I'm sure some people who hearted it played it several times as well. What I do care about on my level is the feedback I receive, through comments on it in LittleBigPlanet and on here. If I receive positive feedback, I know I did something right.

It's like history constantly looping... This is known like since last winter?? Also, from the ton of experience we gathered here, Wex, Ccubage, Me and other people I would say it garantee you more something along the lines of 2000-5000 plays. If you have a level that generates more plays because of it's nature (like a score challenge of some kind or a race) you bet on the 10 000 + If you add some bull to your stuff or huge / new gimmick, you might get around 50 000 + .

You start a discussion and people will give you their point of view, it's a forum, that's how it works, I'm afraid.

Thats great bsprague this thread is obviously not one for you

Also, you don't need to modify the level. Simply entering create mode, pressing pause, saving and it does the trick. .

kl , i just hoped non members to the site might gain some knowledge & rekindle some enthusiasm for creating, it wasn't intended to be jumped on & quashed by existing members. never mind. the more people say' i knew this ages ago' the more will see it i guess . koolio

grantos, : ) i did almost rofl , that really isn't a problem to me. are you daft ? . it was about those that don't know this & they will appreciate it. i knew about h8rs as i wrote it & simply asked twice that you don't bother. if you choose too after that it is simply amusement to me so ...? really, the more the merrier catch ya l8r

We're not haters per se... we're just pointing out that this is, and has been common knowledge. If you're going to say that this is for people who aren't members here... why did you post it on this site? Almost anyone who is here is a member... so i'm not sure you got your audience right. This is a link to Wexfordians tutorial on getting more plays: https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=t=8092 you may notice its been out there since the end of january.

why do i feel compelled to answer such statements ? NO. on any forum especially a popular one more than 50% of those browsing & reading posts are non members.

But 'burnvictim' , don't worry, the irony of you strangely trying to send people who already know this to a loose friends site (?) isn't lost on me brilliant

Why is that ironic? And what are you on about?

2009-08-14 00:48:00 Author: Matt 82 Posts: 1096

My point was that if you're on this site, you have access to that thread, so anyone who came on this site and searched for how to get their level more plays would have been able to find that since january. And, i don't really know wex, he's a good creator who happened to make a guide spotlighted at LBPC, thats all. why do i feel compelled to answer these posts indeed? >.> Here, have a cookie: http://webhollis.com/albums/Funny-Forum/Want_A_Cookie.jpg

I'm pretty sure non members don't search much , scrap that, very sure. They just browse today's posts check the amount of people who have viewed this since it was posted as a thread . They wish to know, & i'm happy to share it . i'm a member of this site & the lbp community but not a big fan of how some (not all ) see this as a kind of cool exclusive club. If you already know this information there is no need to enter the thread. its pretty clearly titled as to the information within it. but it doesn't bother me as i pre empted this before i wrote it. i do encourage those non members reading this to join the site tho as it can be pretty useful

If you really want to be of use, put that link to the thread that burnvictim42 provided up there into your original post since it gives far better information than you have.

This is the second time one of your threads has ended up just being about how you disagree with everyone else. I'm sorry, but if the majority are saying that you are wrong, then the chances are that you are indeed wrong. Saying that the 'regulars' don't understand or are just squashing your thread is just nonsense. The fact is, this thread has been done, and in much more detail. Also, the regulars are incredibly welcoming to new members and do everything they can to help them out so that's unjust too. The fact is that this technique is common knowledge, and even if there is the odd member who doesn't know it, there has already been a guide created for this purpose in much more detail. If you truly wanted to help the community you would have been better bumping that thread.

Mat, is there some part of the information you don't understand or think is unclear?? you can help if anyone has any questions maybe i will not be making any such link as you say as firstly i don't see it as even necessary & secondly wouldn't know how too & thirdly if it was effective then i presume it still is in its own right. i suggest if you really want to help you simply stop not helping

Loathe as I am to even continue this; yes it`s unclear. It`s split into 2 different posts (not your fault I know) and is not set out well at all. The title of the thread is also mis-leading. You don`t see the benefit of linking to the proper thread?

Ohh jackofcourse, obviously i'm wrong if some of you members say i'm wrong . lol. you may have picked up by now that i have little interest in these members . i find them elitist & quite frankly you seem blinkered to the thousands of other lbp players out there. i don't need to make friends on here to the detriment of what i intend to achieve. there is a much bigger picture that you do not see. i'm quite at peace with being the fall guy. Go and bother russelmuscles or something & do something constuctive . peace

When my levels first started to get popular, i was happy with the amount of hits they were getting. Now i have experienced the 'Buzz' of having a creation played by tens of thousands of people, i would much prefer having a level with a decent 'hearts to play ratio.' Wether that be 500 plays and 200 hearts, or, 50,000 and 2000 hearts. I guess the point im trying to make is; hearts speak louder than plays......ummm wait what?

Has it occured to anyone that J-Bear just likes to ruffle feathers around here? He signed up when some people were dissing him, because of a misunderstanding, took offense to that and has realised how easy it is to wind people up? It's not worth rising to it. He's incapable of (or unwilling to - take your pick) forming a rational and logical argument and is completely unable to see anyone's POV but his own. Not to mention that he sidesteps any points people make that undermine him and is hypocritical and obstinate to the last. Also he is fighting for the "greater good" and the "bigger picture", if you ever needed more reason not to rise to someone, that would be it Who had that internet argument bingo card? - that was freaking priceless.

This is obviously going nowhere productive. Locked. J-Bear: I appreciate the fact that you're trying to help newer members, but you can't instruct people to only post certain things and expect them to do so. The point of a forum is to start a discussion and let others voice their opinion. You can't dictate how people respond - as this thread proves, trying to do so only results in havoc.
