To be fair, I'm willing to wait those 5 months because look at all the stuff that's getting added! I would say one thing though, RobTop, I think maybe you should just focus on some slightly smaller updates, because then there is new content frequently, (so maybe have an update every 2 or 3 months). I'm not complaining, just suggesting In those updates you could add a new level, some new features, etc. Maybe map-packs may be more frequent? I have to say some of the 1.9 levels (even on the featured page) are starting to look a little bit repeated, so I think the sooner 2.0 hits the better as there will be so much more, but we know you're working hard and as fast as you can, so no worries
What if Rob gave possibility to top level creators to give star value/featured to any level? There would be a lot of fun levels to play,more stars (I don't care about stars lelel) and people could share their creating experience!
It would be cool, but some people (and I'm not saying any of the top creators would) may abuse the rights, and start rating every level demon 10 stars, then RobTop would have to do more work on taking that privillage away from them and correct all the levels that were falsely rated. Again, I'm not saying anyone would in top creators, just that there are people out there who would do that kinda thing, and that doesn't just apply to GD either, I'm sure there's been issues like that in other games. I know you haven't requested any help for featuring/starring levels, and I'm not a top creator, but if you did want the help, I'd be more than happy to rate levels, and I wouldn't abuse those rights. I know others have put their names forward, so I've put mine forward too, but I'd understand if you decline
There are 2 types of level in this game that annoy me, and are the only ones to get dislikes from me: 1. Levels that are uploaded with nothing in them and no background change or anything. Just pointless. 2. Levels that say "rate demon/free demon/free stars/coins, etc." because it can't be rated demon unless RobTop decides it's hard enough - and there won't be stars if there's nothing worthwhile in the level! I think those levels should just get removed because they're pointless (unless they actually have something interesting in them, but most of the time they don't).
Quote From Robtop "I may develop an automatic system in the future, but for now I need to verify all stars". As to what I think I still think there should be modz robtop as the game is getting more popular and you will are busy as those who could rate levels would be able to do so.
About the feature system Very unfair :v People that get feature are those who tagged 200 people on facebook and spammed like crazy OR Are top30 creators OR Have levels that can get more famous the actual game Such as Mario levels Zelda levels Epic song and even epic copyrighted song lvls :v OR Were lucky enough to get spotted by top10 people who told robtop OR Were recorded 9999 times on youtube Oh and were lucky enough to not get on a 7 days period where robtop was busy with the update / not online :v Because I guess most of you know levels stop trending 7 days after their release :v And not trending are so much less likely to get rated :v Thanks god for reupload. But I understand it's better for the game's development ... And that it's hard to find a new system :c
It is clear that robtop has to find a new rating system, either using mods, either using an automated system. I don't see any other solutions.
Yes it is, we need suggestions and please help with them, let's all think about a way to improve the system. Robtop told us about automatic system, a system that won't require rob viewing the actual level to rate it ...seems hard to code What about instead of giving ability to rate, giving ability to "highlight" levels to trustworthy people Highlighted levels would appear for robtop A level with a lot of highlights will get better chances to get feature _Example : top50 can highlight - level gets hightlighted 20 times - level is featured PS: spam is becoming less and less effective, the number of spammers doesn't stop growing, so much it will one day become useless
Highlight idea is good (it mixes both ideas), but people will keep spamming top 50 creators to highlight their lvls. About the automatic system... How could a computer understand and analyze the level, and rate it? There may be many featured lvls with graphical errors...
a level getting featured after a certain number of highlights, will get abused. A system where some big creators can send levels directly to robtop already exists. And an automatic system is hard to impement succesfully yeah.
I didn't say that it would be featured, I said robtop and ONLY robtop can access the list of highlighted levels (highlight ability given to trustworthy chosen people from top100 or somewhere else so people don't know - they're contacted and they need to confirm) and then only him decides, so instead of searching what to feature after seeing the trending lvls the highlight list is there and ready to show the coolest lvls EDIT : Also a reply to DT: Featured levels of the big creators (which are obviously involved in rating system) are already so spammed yet no one cares, and i think no one is supposed to know about the highlight so top50 (which again, was just an example it doesn't need to be top50) getting spammed is not something to worry about
Wait so the highlight feature would send recommendations to RobTop from those people, then he can rate them (so he's still the only one who can rate them?) if that's it, then I think it's a good idea
Yea, but as we said this system already exists, and it seems RobTop doesn't check a lot of the levels that get sent in :V I think more than just RobTop should be able to directly rate levels. Geometry Dash is growing fast and I think it's a little too big for one person to handle. Also, what if I told you that (almost) more levels have been in 1.9 than all versions previous, combined? That's true, and somewhat mindblowing, a lot of great levels must be released every day :\
Yeah I could believe that fact ^^ When I released my message level a few days back, after 30 seconds to find that level in the most recently uploaded section, there were about 30 other levels in front of mine! If that's happening all the time, there must be unimaginable amounts of levels. It would be impossible to play them all I didn't know that system already exists though. So many secrets in this game
