*~List of Suggestions~*

My list of suggestions to improve LBP2:

-Banning people from commenting on your profile/levels.
The ability to ban spammers and trolls from your profile and levels would pretty much get rid of any hate and arguments we see in LBP everyday.

-I think much like the sack nomination's we have at the moment, that this should be a full time thing for the "best level of the week" title. Each week everyone votes for a level to be chosen as the best level of the week, perhaps a different coloured ribbon below the MM picks.

-Fixing Level links
I think MM should put any DLC or updates in mind to one side for the minute and actually do something usful, like oh idk, fixing level links maybe? -Can't even use one with a friend without lagging out and returning to pod >.>

-Cool Pages Filter
The cool pages need to be filtered from any copyable levels, H4H levels, spammers and inappropiate content. Either have moderators around the community keep an eye on this or have filters to specific creators or even just ban the copying option all together.

-5 star system
I think the 5 star rating system should come back. It's a more accurate way to saying you thought the level was, 1 being needed work and 5 being amazing, not "Yay" or "Boo".. Yay just says they liked it and Boo just gets your review deleted and alot of hate from the creator who doesn't take critisism.

-Create mode tools
Suggestions for tools:

-When you place a camera and you've given that box to measure the area in, why can't we corner edit that box so it's NOT A BOX!? Why does it have to be a box, it just makes it awkward to place cameras without lapping them with others when your trying to give different views of the levels close by each other.. >.>

-Allow players to be able to set the amount of lifes we get on checkpoints. 4, 8 and infinite aren't much choices. Personally the infinite lifepoint checkpoint ruined LBP in my opinion, there's no challenge in any level now because of it. You run and die aimlessly knowing you'll spawn a million times after, but back in LBP1 you were be careful, trying not to do and actually having a challenge.. >.>

-Water
I think water is good, but one problem with it.. It covers the entire level. What if i wanted just a small pond in the middle of my level then you go down the hill and oh.. it's flooded.. great >.> Why can't we more or less make bowls for the water, yes i can see it being hard to do, and quite a big update but it's better and far more usful than these updates which allow us to move our sackboys head when stickering him

-Colourable Bouncepads
I think bouncepads should have the option to be coloured, and the blue ones which represent having to tap X on them to bounce be shown some other way, perhaps a different design of bouncepad?

-More music packs
We only got one music pack? Why? Music plays a big part in levels on LBP so why only one pack? Why can't we have alot more with lots to choose from? Why..........?

-Create timer
It's not a big thing, though i think it would be a nice feature to have a timer on screen which shows you how long you've spent in that specific moon slot/level, just to keep track on how long it's taken you to create what you have

-Cut objects
We have the slice and dice tool, which is handy, though i think we should be able to slice and dice everything! Even objects and various things of that nature. Think of all the good looking levels you'd see with milk bottles cut in half hanging from the ceiling..

There's alot more, but i can't be bothered to type anymore.

See ya

I completely agree with everything written.

My only comments are;

-Banning people from commenting on your profile/levels.
The ability to ban spammers and trolls from your profile and levels would pretty much get rid of any hate and arguments we see in LBP everyday.

In other words... Block list functionality. Honestly, the block list is built into the XMB itself, why on Earth has this series existed for 3 or 4 years now, and still not bothered to use the block list?


-Water
I think water is good, but one problem with it.. It covers the entire level. What if i wanted just a small pond in the middle of my level then you go down the hill and oh.. it's flooded.. great >.> Why can't we more or less make bowls for the water, yes i can see it being hard to do, and quite a big update but it's better and far more usful than these updates which allow us to move our sackboys head when stickering him.

Dynamic water would be impossible for this game. I know LBP is a physics sim, but that's still pushing it. Instead of dynamic water, I'd rather (And I know this has been posted by me and many others countless times now) a Water and Air material. They'd both behave just like hologram, and would exhibit a special effect on Sackthing like the Attract-O-Gel material does.
It wouldn't be dynamic water capable of flowing down slopes intelligently, but at least it would allow people to set up puddles or water in specific areas, or air-pockets below the surface of the water.

Some great suggestions Mr. Creed, some of which are actually in the works right now!


My list of suggestions to improve LBP2:

-Banning people from commenting on your profile/levels.
The ability to ban spammers and trolls from your profile and levels would pretty much get rid of any hate and arguments we see in LBP everyday.


Soon everyone will be able to disable comments from their profiles and levels. While a manual list of blocking would be better.. this will still help suppress trolls, H4hers and "ply my lvl" people. A quick tip to help suppress that currently would to be a bit more forgiving and a little less opinionated in your reviews and rates.



-I think much like the sack nomination's we have at the moment, that this should be a full time thing for the "best level of the week" title. Each week everyone votes for a level to be chosen as the best level of the week, perhaps a different coloured ribbon below the MM picks.

I actually suggested something very similar to this, and any in game filter would help this game immensely. Given the effectiveness of the LBPCHUB account and it's inclusion of the news. It would be very nice and extremely effective to see a creator(s) or level(s) featured in such a filter every week.



-Cool Pages Filter
The cool pages need to be filtered from any copyable levels, H4H levels, spammers and inappropiate content. Either have moderators around the community keep an eye on this or have filters to specific creators or even just ban the copying option all together.

Agree 100%. Cool pages and Mm picks seem to be the only filter that are used by the majority of the community. This creates a huge problem in that Mm picks are not often picked and on the same creators several times. This is why I often think that Mm picks get so much spam hate. Then the other huge filter is filled with said copied, H4H levels, bomb survival etc. It would be technically "unfair' to block things like H4H, Bomb survival etc. but would it help everyone out? You bet! I think copied levels should have an indicator that they were copied and by whom.



-5 star system
I think the 5 star rating system should come back. It's a more accurate way to saying you thought the level was, 1 being needed work and 5 being amazing, not "Yay" or "Boo".. Yay just says they liked it and Boo just gets your review deleted and alot of hate from the creator who doesn't take critisism.

Soon, because of negative feedback actually, we will only be able to yay or leave it neutral. Boos are supposedly being removed from everything within the next few patches.



-Allow players to be able to set the amount of lifes we get on checkpoints. 4, 8 and infinite aren't much choices. Personally the infinite lifepoint checkpoint ruined LBP in my opinion, there's no challenge in any level now because of it. You run and die aimlessly knowing you'll spawn a million times after, but back in LBP1 you were be careful, trying not to do and actually having a challenge.. >.>

I agree but at the same time I like to beat hard levels. Even if it takes me forever. If I (and I'm sure many others especially kids) lose a level too many times they will leave and not finish it.. and probably not rate it as highly as they would had there been infinite checkpoints that would allow them to at least beat it.



-Colourable Bouncepads
I think bouncepads should have the option to be coloured, and the blue ones which represent having to tap X on them to bounce be shown some other way, perhaps a different design of bouncepad? Yes please! Very nice idea.



-More music packs
We only got one music pack? Why? Music plays a big part in levels on LBP so why only one pack? Why can't we have alot more with lots to choose from? Why..........? More music is always nice but we do have a decent amount now and a decent amount of samples to make our own great music. More samples would be cool too though.



-Create timer
It's not a big thing, though i think it would be a nice feature to have a timer on screen which shows you how long you've spent in that specific moon slot/level, just to keep track on how long it's taken you to create what you have This would help with that one bug.. What is it the 160*(?) hour bug? Would also be useful to stay on task and whatnot too I'd say 2 visual timers. One being how long you have created in that specific level patch all together, with the other being how long you have been in it this particular time.

When you place a camera and you've given that box to measure the area in, why can't we corner edit that box so it's NOT A BOX!? Why does it have to be a box, it just makes it awkward to place cameras without lapping them with others when your trying to give different views of the levels close by each other.. >.>

A viewing frustum is basically a rectangular pyramid, the area you define represents the image plane and that's a rectangle. This request makes very little sense as what you are really requesting would be some sort of mutant frustum/player sensor combination. You can always enable/disable the camera via other sensors, you could probably even use invisible holo with an impact sensor...

Quite a nice list. I liked some of your ideas. I really think they should add place able water. Maybe they could give us a hose pipe tool. It emits water so you can make water puddles. Then you can hoover up excess water.2012-02-01 21:06:00

Lets see what I have to say about this stuff!


-Banning people from commenting on your profile/levels.
The ability to ban spammers and trolls from your profile and levels would pretty much get rid of any hate and arguments we see in LBP everyday.
Yes, yes, yes, yes, and uhh.. yes. As fun as it is to reverse troll the trolls(?), I would rather just block them off.


-I think much like the sack nomination's we have at the moment, that this should be a full time thing for the "best level of the week" title. Each week everyone votes for a level to be chosen as the best level of the week, perhaps a different coloured ribbon below the MM picks.

So like a user-generated Mm picks? Me like.


-Fixing Level links
I think MM should put any DLC or updates in mind to one side for the minute and actually do something usful, like oh idk, fixing level links maybe? -Can't even use one with a friend without lagging out and returning to pod >.>


I'm not sure how long it's taking them to fix this or if they are just ignoring it, but yes, I'd rather see stuff like this fixed rather than another (amazing) level pack.


-Cool Pages Filter
The cool pages need to be filtered from any copyable levels, H4H levels, spammers and inappropiate content. Either have moderators around the community keep an eye on this or have filters to specific creators or even just ban the copying option all together.

I agree 100%. People say "Deleting the copy button will delete the SHARE in PLAY, CREATE, SHARE." Well, I would think that SHARE represents sharing your level with others to play, rather than allowing them to take it and get 200x the popularity.


-5 star system
I think the 5 star rating system should come back. It's a more accurate way to saying you thought the level was, 1 being needed work and 5 being amazing, not "Yay" or "Boo".. Yay just says they liked it and Boo just gets your review deleted and alot of hate from the creator who doesn't take critisism.

I would like to see the 5 star system again! This "Yay/Boo" system makes things feel off.
Yes, they are probably taking the "boo" out, so I have no idea what that will do to the community, good or bad.



-When you place a camera and you've given that box to measure the area in, why can't we corner edit that box so it's NOT A BOX!? Why does it have to be a box, it just makes it awkward to place cameras without lapping them with others when your trying to give different views of the levels close by each other.. >.>

This. Ever since LBP1 I have wanted to be able to make my camera's circular at least, just to fit into a round shape so that if your on the round thing it won't trigger the camera. Sure there's the hook-it-up-to-the-player-sensor thing, but that doesn't feel the same.


-Allow players to be able to set the amount of lifes we get on checkpoints. 4, 8 and infinite aren't much choices. Personally the infinite lifepoint checkpoint ruined LBP in my opinion, there's no challenge in any level now because of it. You run and die aimlessly knowing you'll spawn a million times after, but back in LBP1 you were be careful, trying not to do and actually having a challenge.. >.>

Challange, yes. Angry kids that get so mad at losing that they rate your level low and flip out in the comments, no.


-Water
I think water is good, but one problem with it.. It covers the entire level. What if i wanted just a small pond in the middle of my level then you go down the hill and oh.. it's flooded.. great >.> Why can't we more or less make bowls for the water, yes i can see it being hard to do, and quite a big update but it's better and far more usful than these updates which allow us to move our sackboys head when stickering him

I liked Ostler5000's response to this. Also, that sticker patch has helped me make my costumes look great.


-Colourable Bouncepads
I think bouncepads should have the option to be coloured, and the blue ones which represent having to tap X on them to bounce be shown some other way, perhaps a different design of bouncepad?

I agree with this. I just agree.


-More music packs
We only got one music pack? Why? Music plays a big part in levels on LBP so why only one pack? Why can't we have alot more with lots to choose from? Why..........?

Agreed. Sure we can make our own music, but there's just something about the music pack that made it special. (Mostly because I like the music in it )


-Create timer
It's not a big thing, though i think it would be a nice feature to have a timer on screen which shows you how long you've spent in that specific moon slot/level, just to keep track on how long it's taken you to create what you have

Due to my procrastination, I shall predict what I'd say if this were implemented...
"Okay, I made one new room in Trapped.. How long did that take me- THREE HOURS?!?"

Although I agree with this.


-Cut objects
We have the slice and dice tool, which is handy, though i think we should be able to slice and dice everything! Even objects and various things of that nature. Think of all the good looking levels you'd see with milk bottles cut in half hanging from the ceiling..


Imagine how many sliced doll parts we would see...
