How do YOU get your level to page 1!?

Archive: 69 posts

Okay i know alot of you havent gotten your level to page 1 before but for those of you who did how did YOU get it to page 1? Well I dont know about you guys but I will be in my pod republishing for hours! Literally HOURS to get my levels lots of plays. It feels like i have no life doing that lol. I was just wondering, do you have to republish your level hundreds of times or is there another way. What do YOU do?2010-08-07 20:54:00

Well, the thing is dude, no one really cares about cool pages anymore, ever since it turned into a spam-filled area full of trolls and spammers.
So unless you wanna follow Raven's path, i don't think its really important anymore.		2010-08-07 21:12:00

Just sayin'. ''Run Sackboy the light is Fading'' Doesn't sound interesting to me. 		2010-08-07 21:13:00

I just say that the comunity likes what it likes. if you do make a good level, you will get rewarded, but if you dont make the best level you can,you will see that in the amount of plays.
I dont like the cool pages, i just go to the highest raited, where all of the awsome levels (its just the few "R1 races")
and i persnaly hate my published and did not like them. (i am trying to fix that)		2010-08-08 02:52:00

The best way to find good levels is go through a good creators hearted list, such as mrsupercomputer. And then you can look at those hearted creators hearted lists of levels too.		2010-08-08 04:06:00

I try to stay away from the cool pages and so far it's going well. Usually I publish my levels locked a couple of days before I publich them officially, that way it won't get any boost from the first publish and sink fast. Then I more or less got a ticket to a dark cosy corner of the LBP-servers which only people from hte forums may visit :]2010-08-08 05:17:00

Here's how the Cool Level Pages works. Therefore you will know how to go to page 1. There's no other ways.

https://lbpcentral.lbp-hub.com/index.php?t=17324-Everything-about-the-Cool-Levels-Pages.

We at LBPC however we don't encourage spam republishing. You can republish regularly, it's just that there are crazy people out there publishing every 2 mins...

Well, that's exactly the kind of stupid spamming republishing that we don't like here. You guys should stay quiet if you want to do you stuff. I would be a mod you'd be banned right there.
YOU are part of the problem, the why The Cool Level Pages actually sucks to no end and why us, conscious creator, have to pull off the same stupid publishing if we want people to actually play something else than a Shark level.

Anyhow, just goes to show how broken Media Molecule's design is + how people don't really care about things. Next reaction to my post here should be along the lines of "bu bu bu, it's just a game" I suppose.

Dude i really dont even see the big deal. Almost every famous creator gets their level to page one by republishing like 5million times. If you do it like every ten minutes then it probably wont make it to page 1. It might go to like page 4 and drop after the week is up. The only people that rlly dont have to republish to get to page 1 are SUPER famous ppl		2010-08-08 17:55:00

What about this:

- Make a good level;
- Go to "level showcase" and create a topic;
- Write a decent description of your level and add pictures;
- Wait a bit, we aren't lightspeed;
- PROFIT!		2010-08-08 19:46:00

Nothing wrong with that. But you (or anybody) republishing your level every 10 seconds is wrong in my opinion.

That's the thing, there's no fame in LBP. It's not about recognition. That's what people don't get and the game encourage those people by being designed in a way it presses people into competition. Bad design from MM + people that don't care or know better = The Cool Level Pages that we have right now.

Yes, I know it's wrong but I didn't realize that until after I had published my first level. That's why I've only re-published that much 1 once. 2010-08-08 21:00:00

I would agree with this but "a good level" is so subjective... Most people think they make good levels, it's normal. Therefore everybody would tell to themselves "ok I can publish crazy because my stuff is good".		2010-08-08 22:30:00

Okay, let's cool it down, folks. For the record, I personally don't encourage people to republish massively just to get plays. Having said that, I understand why people do it - because they think that to be famous in LBP = success.

But as I've said many, MANY times before, how much more satisfying would the whole LBP experience be for creators if everyone could just forget the obsession with number of plays= success/fame? If someone I respect and admire as a creator likes one of my levels, that's good enough for me. If I like my own level, that's good enough for me. If you list your level in the Level Showcase here, you'll get some of our very best creators taking a look at your level and considering it for Spotlighting. They play everything.

Why are some people so obsessed with having thousands of plays? I honestly do not get it. I don't even check the Cool Levels on LBP anymore. I just come here for good levels to play.		2010-08-09 01:56:00

Of course - that's why we publish our levels. But how many people need to see your level before it constitutes a "success" in your eyes? That's what you need to work out. Personally, I prefer quality over quantity.2010-08-09 03:02:00

Yeah, I totally feel that way, I couldn't care less about so called fame or success, it just makes me happy to see people play my level, I mean that's the end result of working on a video game level, that it get played. I don't want my levels to be sitting there ignored for all time. If they took the "plays" counter off my levels and my dopey screenname off them, it really wouldn't matter to me so long as I could see that someone was playing them.2010-08-09 03:49:00

No, no.. you've misunderstood me. What I meant was - for me - it's about the quality of PEOPLE that play my levels, not the quantity. I wasn't inferring anything about the quality of your levels at all, so relax mate. I said what you need to work out was how many poeple would constitute a success in your eyes - how many plays? If you want people to see your level and 5 people play it, then your level has been seen by people, right?

And ApeCheese, you've also misunderstood based on xQziCyFlaMeZxQz's misunderstanding. But if you guys need to have thousands of plays in order to feel like your level is a success, then all the best to you. You're in for a lot of frustration or a lot of hours of your life spent republishing, but if that's what you want, go for it. We've all gotta play LBP our own way.		2010-08-09 04:02:00

No, no.. you've misunderstood me. What I meant was - for me - it's about the quality of PEOPLE that play my levels, not the quantity... That's actually worse than what I thought you meant, it sounds absolutely elitist. Maybe you should keep your levels locked & only give keys to quality people otherwise you risk having your inferiors take a look at them too.

Oy vay! Fella, calm down and read my other comments before getting all hot under the collar, will you please? What I said earlier was that for me... ah, who cares? I can't be bothered restating it all. Suffice to say I can have one person play my level and if they enjoyed it (quality of their experience) then I'm happy. If it's someone whose work I admire (edit - or a friend of mine), then that's a real compliment to me. Sorry if that upsets you.		2010-08-09 04:38:00

Here's a thought for those people wanting thousands of plays: There are only so many plays per day, who are you to decide how big a share of those you "deserve"? Every play you get from republishing is one less for a good level whose creator isn't republishing like mad.

Though I can't blame you, really. It's like a room full of shouting people, trying to be heard. If everybody spoke normally, they'd still be heard and it would be a lot more pleasant. I just wish enough people would realise this and stop shouting. 		2010-08-09 13:20:00

I tried using the LBP forum, and got two plays on all of my levels combined. I am not sure how anyone gets 500 a month, I am lucky to get 100 in a year, and that is with editing it to improve it more and then republishing it. I finished one last week and had only 1. In fact almost all my levels consist of my test runs for improving as the majority of plays and completes. I figure that is just because I have the gaming skills to get the job done.

P.S. When posting a play request on the level showcase and you want to add some information, should you only edit the post or just add reply, which is bumping in a way. Then if your post goes far away to the back of the line, just create a new post for that level if no one ever replied?		2010-08-11 05:51:00

You're in for a lot of frustration or a lot of hours of your life spent republishing, but if that's what you want, go for it. We've all gotta play LBP our own way.

Your definitely right here; I got burnt out after making my third level. which was a lot better than my first two (which got 550 plays) . I was so distressed about feeling robbed of plays it made me not want to play any more. but i just recently started creating again. Was still a little disappointed at my latest levels plays right away but didn't freak out over it. I'm guessing my first levels got more because i advertised here, and on IGN.

p.s. does republishing over your level still bump it up or do you have to make a new one all together		2010-09-16 01:22:00

Lol, republishing doesn't even get it a minor play anymore. I was trying to get feedback on my levels and see if anyone could beat them because I am just trying to make the better, and I had to delete them and publish them, but only once in a blue moon did I get feedback...and it was either H4H or "Nice"...the nice is ok, but I just want something like, "hey that shuttle ride sucked"... So back to the subject, republishing doesn't do anything at all anymore I think other than letting you edit your level without losing your scoreboard and records and having to replace all the keys. I really am not sure if it is even possible to get to page one in the current set-up. I suppose have a level with keys to your other levels, make it good enough to get carry over plays, and then delete it and publish it...but that seems cheap, plus you may get hit by the one star people. I have seen people playing their level on line over and over all day while I am working on mine. So they may get people to join and then get plays that way...but man I get tired of playing my levels after working one them... I would say like most games with trophy systems online, people that get the awards are not the people that are the best....*Warhawk*...I did like that top view GTA level though and it was on the top levels...but I think it was out early. I could see LBP2 as a chance to get tot he top pages, but the beta people may have the advantage at that, I just want feedback on mine.2010-09-17 09:19:00

I got mine to page 3 with 980 plays and 58 hearts by coming here and listening to feedback from this forum! Most of the plays were from this site. I got a 5 star rating from the people here, but the star rating glitched and Its stuck at four. what Im trying to say, is that this is the way you get your level to page one. Your using it right now. Its practically Slapping you in the face with a pickle. use it!2010-09-17 13:14:00

I have never republished a level with out editing it, otherwise there is no point in republishing it...it will still have the same issues. But in the past when I would finish a few hours work on a level or two they would get one or two plays...that does not happen anymore. Since I did not get any plays I deleted my levels and reorganized the moon...that and I am now over 20 levels so I had to make a few changes. When I posted the new levels I did get some plays, but almost all were people not finishing adn just putting one star or H4H. So per advice I locked them all for a week and the unlocked them...the only thing that sucks is after all that work my stupid Icon is no longer in the center of my levels like I had designed....and I really don't want to have to delet and republish them again...is there a way to move levels around? (sorry about off topic). And as far as publishing them here for plays...it possibly could work, but most all of my levels remain untouched excluding the F4F levels where I review every other F4F out there...but I don't want plays or ranks I want to make great levels...and all my stupid friends would rather be playing FPS and such. (p.s. if you need some F4F hit me up and if I did not get to yours you best remind me because I think I have still have some F4F on the way, but none owed).2010-09-18 01:07:00

Click on a published level and chose "move". You will be able to put the level anywhere on your planet.2010-09-18 01:23:00

i wish LBPC had it's own set of pages to flip through... anything in the showcase is automatically added from newest to oldest. i know that'd be kind of unfair to alot of sites and the vast sea of creators who don't frequent here, but hey... join; we're all sister sites with cross-members anyway, and a modded forum inhibiting the destructive nature of the pageset it's linked too would be awesome.

it'd probably have made the spotlight teams job easier too. oh well, it'll all be better soon.		2010-09-18 03:39:00

My lure?

Lol, I always ignored the move because I was publishing the levels and just figured the move was for the moon not the planet. Just wen on was arrannged all the levels and the second I got out my stupid center icon moved up again. It took several attempts to get it to stay in the center, seems that if anythign gets too close to the base of your icon marker it wants to move up. I think I got it as centered as I could, I just wish I could keep that darned Icon photo from moving at all. Thanks for the info. A pages thing would be nice, but a scoreboard that updates so you can quickly follow links to other players levels would be great oo. Nothing like a level that has two completes showing, but the scoreboard does not show names for weeks on end...that or the vanishing names...I swear I have seen players vanish from the scoreboards?2010-09-26 07:12:00
