10'000 plays in one night, and the level ISN'T in cool levels page one!

Archive: 51 posts


Hellooow everybody...

Well... this morning, I wanted to play LBP a lil bit. When i checked my levels to see how many ppl played them, i saw that "A Long Way 2" had 10'000 (!!!) playz more than yesterday...

AND ONLY 100 HEARTS MORE THAN YESTERDAY!

This story iz so weird, coz i figured out that the level iz having 5 more plays every SECOND and 1 heart (or less...) evey hour.

I tried to lock the level to stop this disaster but there iz nothing to do. Playz are keepz going up every seceond...

To me, this iz just some stoopid kidz or haterz that are restarting the lvl again and again just to annoy me... and they are doing their job well coz im really disapointed...

They are ruining me and I want ur suggestions... Pleaaaze!... =(

If it has 10000 shouldn't you be happy maybe just everyone likes your level. I don't know but someone who just kept restarting the level would be a bit sad would they not. I don't know.2009-09-26 13:00:00

You are not on cool pages because the level is over a week old.

You have 60,000 plays and a 1:6 hearts to plays ratio. I put it to you that the majority of your plays are repeat plays from people who have already played and hearted your level. It's not possible to maintain a high play rate and high number of hearts because your number of plays from unique players has to slow down.


And seriously, "oh teh noes, my lvl only haz 10,000 heartzz!!!111!!" - In what way is this a problem?

Yes...not everyone will like your level.
Especially as you just copy other peoples' ideas...

Alright, I'm not getting the point of this thread. Your situation seems to be the opposite of a problem. Traffic to your level and hearts = GOOD. Anything in the range of 1:1 to 1:10 hearts to play ratio is good.

It seems more like an excuse to brag about you success... :/

@ARD - lighten up, man.

Easy now. No need to get hostile. You have to recognize that this level is showing more success than many of the levels out there. Have you ever heard the expression, "Don't look a gift horse in the mouth"? If it's doing well, don't complain...

like i said 5 timez:

The problem iz that to earn 100playz a minute from only 2 playerz in the level iz strange.
Thatz a huge problem for me to explain it in english grrrrr...

10,000 plays divided by 24 hours, divided by 60 minutes to an hour, gives you just under 7 plays a minute. If your level is conducive to restarting, a couple of players can easily generate 7 plays a minute. If you've got more than that, it will go up faster.

And also, as I said. Once you reach this many plays, you can't expect the hearts to keep on going up. You have made a level that a lot of kids will play over and over again. funky contraptions and little races appeal to them - you will get a lot of plays from the same people. They can't heart more than once so your hearts : plays ratio will go down. Significantly.

I really don't understand how you can be upset about a level that is doing this well. Honestly I don't


BTW: 100 plays a minute would be 10,000 plays in under 2 hours.

Yeah sure there's no reason to complain as it's a good thing for you ,
but I understand that 10.000 plays in one night seems very strange and unusual.

As I never saw more than 9000/10000 players connected at the same time on the online,
does it means that every single player connected that night played your level..?
Or some players just spend the night playing and restarting the level over and over again...?

Very strange... Was it full moon yesterday..?

Look RTM is right if people are liking your level thats great, But people can only heart levels once. You must remember that there are over 1 million levels out the, some creators would kill to have these numbers and you are complaining.

Its nothing to get in an argument about though. If someone is repeating the level to teaes you you can't be complaining to us we can't really help your problem.

I don't think that lil-klash16 is complaining about the ratio plays/heart...

He's just saying that his level got a huge unexpected amount of plays and hearts in one night,
and he's afraid that it's not normal...

Page one is bad.
Everyone will H4H, rate you 1 star, ruin your P:H ratio, and genereally screw up your level.

I feel for you lil-klash. I absolutely hate receiving exorbitant amounts of plays and exposure for my levels. And only 50 extra hearts on top of the 10,000+ you already have? Ridiculous. We can only hope for the best.
[/sarcasm]

Honestly, if I received a random burst of extreme attention, I wouldn't complain about it, if that's what's going on here. If it is a rare, random bug, it's still giving you more attention and from what I can decipher from this thread, you are still on Page One of the Highest Rated section. Does it really matter if your hearts aren't increasing as fast as your plays? Most people won't discriminate a level based on it's heart to play ration when it has 10,000+ hearts, because a logically thinking person will realize that's way too many hearts for it to be a bad level. I haven't played this level, but if it's doing as well as you say, what is the real problem here?

I am trying to understand this here and from what I see there really isn't an issue. I understand that the OP is just trying to say this is unusual to him, but at the same time there is still no real way for us to help. I am sorry, but there is nothing we can really do.

Thank you for letting us know smothing happened, but perhaps if you are worried about this you should bring it up with MM. If somebody is abusing your level they should be able to help in some facet.

If this isn't the strangest thread I've stumbled across in a long time, then I don't know what is.

I get what you are saying klash, but at the same time I see no reason to complain, whether it is a strange occurence or not. There could be any reason for the increase so I wouldn't be surprised. Even I saw your level last night and thought about playing it, but didn't.

rare: yes
impossible: no
possible bug: maybe

Can I please ask an off-topic question?

Why do you insist on using 'z's instead of 's's.

But anyway back on topic. Why is having loads of hearts and plays bad? And the last time I checked you were on Cool Pages (I think Page 2).

The OP wasn't complaining about the amount of plays or hearts, he was just concerned that 10,000 plays seemed a bit 'too' excessive for one night, considering he's not currently on page one.

He only mentioned his plays to hearts ratio going down, as he thought it may in support of the whole thing being a bug.

Nothing confusing about that.

Instead I will ask why you use apostrophes instead of commas in your numberings (10'000)
I've never seen that before, and I'm curious if it's a language thing or a l33t thing.

This is an interesting occurrence. Maybe some sizable group of people decided to compete over high scores or something?

Lol, so true... This guy's levels are all copies, what's worse is he doesn't even give credit to the people he copies, and people say Russlesmuscles is bad...

Another thing, did you guys know that klash creates other accounts in order to heart his levels, I found this out yesterday when someone posted a comment on his newest level.


On Topic:
This "plays" bug is real... It happened to that ArtofTyler guy with his Dinosaurs level. But it affected him even more because his level got +170,000 plays. Don't think it's happened to anyone else but MM does need to fix this!

call me dumb but i thought your situation would be good and make you happy alot of lbp players would kill for their levels to be as successful as yours is

but if you do in fact copy parts of level and not give credit where credit is due and not earning plays and hearts on your own due to how good your level is maybe all your plays and hearts are apart of a bug that your exploiting with your other accounts then these plays and hearts are fake

but hey maybe im wrong maybe just maybe his level is just that "good"

Do you mean to say he is undermining the sanctity of the oh-so-objective ratings system in LBP? What exactly is your point?


I did this, CCubbage does too as do several other well respected and skilled creators on this site - also to add a slightly firmer rating on launch as well as the extra hearts. Launch strategies are a necessary evil in LBP, especially to those of us who don't aim at the mainstream. Once you start getting proper plays then the extra couple of hearts and the boost on your rating from yourself become negligible.

No, no...I didn't mean it that way, I would never call someone out for having another account, besides I think everyone has an extra account, I know I do. But klash....he has more than a few accounts, it is well known throughout the community that he has other accounts mainly to heart himself and his levels. Why he does? I do not know, after all he does have +8,500 hearts, I seriously doubt he needs anymore.

Why are you complaining at all? You should be happy that your level got +10,000 plays n' stuff. There's people that struggle to even get a 1,000 plays and who cares if it may be a little strange? Maybe you have fans from the rest of "your" levels, you will or may get more plays from actual people if it was a bug since I'm guessing the majority of people like to play really popular levels. I would be happy if I ever got to 1,000 plays with one of my levels.

And by the way, no need to start an argument since it's true, but most of your levels are not your idea. You get plays from things that you never came up with.
The Way Things Go is not your idea, you also changed the name eventually and took off any credit, you even gave away some of the objects.
The 'A Long Way' level was not your idea, it was from Maxed Out( I think that was the name), but yeah A Long Way was and idea copied from Maxed Out.
And why so many 2D levels? Do you really need to keep on making levels with almost the same type of gameplay? Why do I feel that this is so off-topic -_-

Considering this is my first post, i feel that I'm gonna be flamed >_<

I do love to play your levels don't get me wrong, I just don't like how you use other people's ideas and get a bunch of plays n' hearts from them

He actually stole the idea from a level called Maxed Out. And as long as you tell the truth I don't see why people would flame you.

That's it, I'm not here for you to say bad things and lies about me.

Honestly guys, there is no need to be so hostile towards a member, I've seen more then enough on this thread, it's not going anywhere good.

Klash created this thread because he was worried, 10,000+ plays overnight is something to be worried about, not something to complain about however.

ARD, Endless_Echo, FreeFlyzz, leave the guy alone. There is no need at all, for any type of this behavior, just ignore him and his thread if it's bothering you.

Locked.

Thanks!
