[Archive: 2013] Avacado's Entry

Re: [Section 3] Avacado's Entry

Honestly i don't care anymore... the contest should have had a bigger deadline for all sections, i mean seriously, this community is rather dead and the deadlines were/are relatively close in order for anything to happen.

I highly doubt anyone else other than avacado will get in the contest either, maybe unless for one or two guys inside the community, but still i have my doubts they will make it on time.

Plus anyone who made a few skins would have an "easy entry" into the contest, just because avacado was the only one to bother, doesn't mean he shouldn't be entitled to win anything from the games chest. Now the way i see it, the more effort the entry takes to accomplish (results via judges), that person should be one of the first to pick the prize. (more effort/time put into your work = earlier prize check in)

Re: [Section 3] Avacado's Entry

I appreciate your concerns about this subject. However, Avacado did work hard and diligently to get his submission in on time, thus he will be rewarded for it.

As I stated before, the deadlines were set in place for a reason. If people didn't hear about/didn't finish their entry, there will always be next year.

I'm not sure why everyone has this "all or nothing" attitude but it really needs to stop. How do you make progress toward a lofty goal? By setting and completing smaller goals along the way. Regardless if this is the only entry for the entire contest (which I doubt it will be), it was still successful in it's purpose: generate content for the mod and help rekindle the MS:C community. So many people have been so generous with gifts and motivation that it truly shows how great this community is and why we can't "just quit" on it.

Once again, thank you for voicing your concerns, I hope I answered some of your questions. If you have anymore questions or answers about this contest, please head over to the Q and A thread in this sub-forum. Thanks!

Well darn, I guess I actually have to get these in game now... Thought we woulda had a patch out before Red declared a winner, but alas... Still waiting on that model... Though I suppose I managed to add a few nifty features and clean some more bugs meantime.

I'm leaning towards the elemental damage increase helms - but the bugger with those is, when we get Titles, they'll have specific elemental increases per tier too (depending on the type). Assuming the abilities will stack, it might be difficult to balance it - either make the hat too weak to be very useful to start with, or nerf it later. :\

Holy bow is tempting, if a bit game breaking in the short term... Bog bow, lots of little roots pop up from the ground, is tempting for the cl effect... The Polearms do need a dark damage weapon - but... Dat purple... IDK...

What's up with the purple? It looks awesome imo, with all the blue, black and purple!

Yeah i see... too much purple, but who gives a damn, still looks good to me.

The holy bow... a new weapon to train divi with wouldn't be a bad thing now would it?

The bog bow... i was thinking it would suit better whenever dwarven race gets attached to ms:c along with earth subskill, thus making it one of the first earth elemental weapons? Hence the name is "bog" bow, the bog creatures are from the swamps from what we see ingame, would make sense to make it earth-related, perhaps mixed with affliction idk.

Way to fuck over people who could have entered skins/music, Red Cell.

Re: [Section 3] Avacado's Entry

I was asked by a member to make a post on those forums. I apologize for the lateness of the post (as I already did in that post). My intent wasn't to "fuck over" anyone. If you want, I wont post any outside advertisement again, and I can remove that post from those forums if you'd like.

Re: [Section 3] Avacado's Entry

I would leave it there, as people can still see it. As for the closed competition, I'm thinking another one should be opened for people who will see future advertisement of the competition. If you go this route, I would also say that Avacado cannot enter this second skin/music competition.

Re: [Section 3] Avacado's Entry

I also think svencoop forums should be our next target.

That's hard to say, that's like putting a Burger King up in McDonalds territory honestly. I believe they get very pissy if other mods are advertised.

 

[TheOysterHippopotami]

Re: [Section 3] Avacado's Entry

Hmm. Maybe we should consult their forum staff first?

Also, I've been thinking about converting some MSC maps to svencoop for the sake of advertisement, so maybe by allowing them to use their maps in svencoop could help persuade them?

I appreciate your understanding as we do our best to plot into uncharted territory, but I think you are forgetting, this is not the first, nor the last media competition. We put a lot of planning into the deadlines and it's important that we maintain them. However, the Media Team is taking into account everyone's criticism and will be implementing changes come next years contest. Improvements will be made and thank you for your concerns!

you could either make them simmilar to demon blood potions ( add 0.5 to 1 times afflction level acid dmg to every afiction dmg doene or even every dmg done )

or you could use a simmilar formular to some of the world of warcraft character stats ( for the first 10 percent you need 100 points of dmg boost for 20 percent you need 250 for 30 percent 425 and so on ) that way you could add aditional things that boost dmg without having to worry too much about balance

Re: [Section 3] Avacado's Entry

It is worth mentioning that this entry was late.

Some of these are really cool, and some of these look like they belong in Las Vegas. I really like the lightcaster, the double penetrator, and the gauntlets. The lightcaster is my favorite.

First post was on December 1st... Deadline was January 1st... So... Umm...

Plus it's the *only* skin submission. Didn't we already announce him as the winner? (Wonder what game he chose... Also still wondering which of these skins I'm gonna use first...)

 

[TheOysterHippopotami]

Re: [Section 3] Avacado's Entry

The final entry was not in until after January 1st. The last edit was on January 12th, although if memory serves everything was in by the 2nd.

And yes, he is the section 3 winner by default.

Re: [Section 3] Avacado's Entry

I do believe all of his reskins were posted on time, the edit is probably related to the item suggestions, as i do remember him asking me what to do with them when he made them, which could have ended up being the reason why he edited late.

Just because he edited the post doesn't mean he altered his own work or entries, he just added more info to the post, nothing wrong with that...
