My opinions of EE.

Ok, what I'm starting to think is that EE is just starting to get boring.

    There are almost never any good levels, like 1 in 9001 levels are good.     I click on a level, see it sucks just by looking at the minimap, or me just not wanting to play it and be attack by noob chatters that try to keep me in the world.     I'm just getting tired of this, and I want more good levels.     2nd, crashers and hackers ruin all the fun, they crack codes and ruin people's worlds, get people angry, and they also tend to annoy guests, who are most of the time, new to the game.     If you just troll them, they will think every level gets trolled and never play EE again.     There are also lack of updates, which cause people to bail away from EE and check back every day until there's another update, even the smallest, like the tweaking process of the game that recently ended.     Also, Chris' choices of updates suck bad.     We could have had contest results 2 weeks ago if he never changed the BG minimap update.     Then, he goes on another trip and slows the process of judging down even more.     This is just not right.     I also feel like i'm starting to get ignored, because on my forum topics, no one tends to reply anymore.     I join worlds also and everyone acts like i'm not there, when I used to be "visible" to others.

    However, there are good things too, the fun in rare levels, the ability to make your own world, and have others play them, and making friends.     I've made tons of new friends over EE, and only EE.     I barely have any friends at school, like about 5 or 6, maybe 7.     The features are great, and bugs (mostly severe ones) get fixed in an instant, like the ceiling stick, after the BG update.     I remember I was sticking to the ceiling once, and *update*.     I saw one of Benjaminsen's worlds up, and I went in, and RPGMaster2000 later came to explain what happened.     So EE has good sides too, not just bad.

    Who agrees with me?

I agree. I'm glad that you can look at the good side of EE and not just the bad side, like others do.

Re: My opinions of EE.

I totally agree a 100%. We need more good levels at the top of the list and less noob worlds. Also people should look at the good side more instead of the bad side. From what I read in chat's are that people are looking on the bad side instead of the good side which makes me sad.

Agreed! But we can't tell people to make more better levels or tell people to stop making nooby levels. If they wanna make nooby levels let them. If you want more better levels then start making good levels for the people of EE.

Re: My opinions of EE.

Mostly I agree, but not with all your points.

Ok, what I'm starting to think is that EE is just starting to get boring.

    There are almost never any good levels, like 1 in 9001 levels are good.     I click on a level, see it sucks just by looking at the minimap, or me just not wanting to play it and be attack by noob chatters that try to keep me in the world.     I'm just getting tired of this, and I want more good levels.     2nd, crashers and hackers ruin all the fun, they crack codes and ruin people's worlds, get people angry, and they also tend to annoy guests, who are most of the time, new to the game.     If you just troll them, they will think every level gets trolled and never play EE again.

That's all true. Sadly nothing can really be done about trolls (except for not giving out codes which is obvious but people are idiots). Every online game has trolls of some variety.

There are also lack of updates, which cause people to bail away from EE and check back every day until there's another update, even the smallest, like the tweaking process of the game that recently ended.

Here I disagree. Ok, so the game doesn't get updates very often, but unlike many online games, the pure nature of Everybody Edits is that it's down to the players to create levels with new concepts and designs, not down to the game being updated, which is the main reason it's so popular. The other thing is that actually Everybody Edits has actually come an incredibly long way in the course of a year. Only having 1 saved world was the only option just over a year ago.

Also, Chris' choices of updates suck bad.

I think you may have phrased that wrongly. His updates are excellent and I haven't seen many bad updates at all. The problem with his updates are the number of glitches that result from the updates. The most recent update of reducing the size of candy blocks seemed pointless to me and changed the background colours for the worse, but other than that, I can't really complain at most of the updates. The rewrite of EE's code cannot be counted as an update and it was bound to bring lots of new glitches because Chris cannot mimic thousands of people without thousands of people being present before he launches these updates.

We could have had contest results 2 weeks ago if he never changed the BG minimap update.     Then, he goes on another trip and slows the process of judging down even more.     This is just not right.

As far as I understand it from RPGMaster2000, it's the other judges that are holding Chris up. Chris isn't going to put his life on hold for a game he produces in his spare time and no one should expect him to. Mostly, I think the background update happening when it did was a much better idea than delaying it for a week or two.

I also feel like i'm starting to get ignored, because on my forum topics, no one tends to reply anymore.     I join worlds also and everyone acts like i'm not there, when I used to be "visible" to others.

That's purely selfishness and attention-seeking. People come and go on forums. I'm starting to get a lot more involved with the forums and less involved with the game, but I have no doubt that will switch around again some time in the future. As for being in game, if you really want to be noticed, go into worlds with about 5 people in rather than the popular ones which are full. You shouldn't be expecting to go into a world and for everyone to go "Hi Stubby! What's going on in your life that we're all honestly completely interested in hearing about?"

However, there are good things too, the fun in rare levels, the ability to make your own world, and have others play them, and making friends.     I've made tons of new friends over EE, and only EE.

True although I would like to point out that with friends in EE, there's a big difference between classifying someone as a friend and classifying someone as trustworthy. It can be a tough life online.

The features are great, and bugs (mostly severe ones) get fixed in an instant, like the ceiling stick, after the BG update. I remember I was sticking to the ceiling once, and *update*. I saw one of Benjaminsen's worlds up, and I went in, and RPGMaster2000 later came to explain what happened.

I would argue that only the severe bugs get "fixed in an instant". Most of the bugs present since the code rewrite are still present and the candy-kicking glitch still hasn't been rectified. I think a lot of glitches are put on a priority list and a lot of them are put on the back-burner while new updates are released.

Overall, Everybody Edits is a fantastic tool, not a game. It's popular as a tool and the majority of people playing it have some sort of world they have created, however terrible that world might be. Some of the levels are epic and come out of some of the most creative minds I've ever seen. It's kind of strange how levels are measured based on their number of plays when some of the best levels created don't even have anything to do in them, but are purely works of art. Some art created in EE is created by people who have never had an artistic flair outside of EE and I'm sure some people are really benefiting in their own lives thanks to Everybody Edits' existence. Regardless of updates, I believe Everybody Edits will not die purely because of the creativity that can be poured out of people's minds both in games and in art.

Instead of just complaining that there are no good worlds in the lobby. Do something about it. :/

Re: My opinions of EE.

The next person who complains about noob worlds does not understand ANYTHING.

"Aw man, All the worlds are noobish, what do I do?"

~~~~~

Solution 1: Don't play them

Solution 2: Make your own "pro" level (or are you too "lazy" or "laggy" or whatnot)

Solution 3: Go to somebody "pro"'s profile and play their levels (and maybe guest bomb them too)

~~~~~

If none of these solutions work for you...
Solution 4: Quit playing if you hate it so much

Re: My opinions of EE.

Ok, what I'm starting to think is that EE is just starting to get boring.

Maybe for you, not for me. If you are bored of it, then quit.

There are almost never any good levels, like 1 in 9001 levels are good.

Flawed statement right there.

I click on a level, see it sucks just by looking at the minimap, or me just not wanting to play it and be attack by noob chatters that try to keep me in the world.     I'm just getting tired of this, and I want more good levels.

Leave the level, noobs cannot stop you, ignore them, they can't attack you either. If you want better worlds do something about it and make better levels, don't rely on us to do something that you want us to do. Go make a better level or more and be happy.

2nd, crashers and hackers ruin all the fun, they crack codes and ruin people's worlds, get people angry, and they also tend to annoy guests, who are most of the time, new to the game.     If you just troll them, they will think every level gets trolled and never play EE again.

Yes they do, they don't crack codes, the codes are already cracked, yes they ruin worlds, but mostly only nooby ones. I know they make people angry, I'll give you that. Most people like me don't troll guests, I actually try to help them, but there are jerks out there that do that., its part of live, haters gonna hate eh? Most people learn from mistakes, I wasn't trolled as a guest and alot of guests are not trolled, and if people troll them so much then why do we have so many players?

There are also lack of updates, which cause people to bail away from EE and check back every day until there's another update, even the smallest, like the tweaking process of the game that recently ended.     Also, Chris' choices of updates suck bad.     We could have had contest results 2 weeks ago if he never changed the BG minimap update.     Then, he goes on another trip and slows the process of judging down even more.     This is just not right.

Actually Chris has been updating the game quite frequently, most people bail away from Everybody Edits because of real life problems or they are bored. Yes Chris' choices suck, but it is his game and he can do what he wants with it, his choice about letting his friends judge was a pretty bad idea, but atleast we are kept in suspense.
It isn't the updates or Chris' trip keeping the judges back, its the fact that they are lazy and don't care to much.
If you don't like it then quit.

I also feel like i'm starting to get ignored, because on my forum topics, no one tends to reply anymore.     I join worlds also and everyone acts like i'm not there, when I used to be "visible" to others.

Since when did this game become a popularity contest? Some people just look at threads, not post in them.

However, there are good things too, the fun in rare levels, the ability to make your own world, and have others play them, and making friends.     I've made tons of new friends over EE, and only EE.     I barely have any friends at school, like about 5 or 6, maybe 7.     The features are great, and bugs (mostly severe ones) get fixed in an instant, like the ceiling stick, after the BG update.     I remember I was sticking to the ceiling once, and *update*.     I saw one of Benjaminsen's worlds up, and I went in, and RPGMaster2000 later came to explain what happened.     So EE has good sides too, not just bad.

I love how you put a bright side to your post, I agree with this part most of all because its all true and it makes me happy. Fun levels are not that rare, just go on a profile and play a fun level, and HUZZAH! You have a fun level to play! I love making friends on Everybody Edits, I have alot in game and in real life. I noticed some bugs are fixed fast, but some that aren't suck.

Who agrees with me?

I really only agree with the last paragraph, I don't like complaining over every little thing because it makes your time in Everybody Edits less enjoyable. So there's my two cents.

Sorry but no. Notice how it says Beta Exclusives not Beta Test? It means its beta only and will stay that way, its not in the test. So if you want them get beta.

"Exclusive" does not mean "exclusive forever".

Re: My opinions of EE.

The game is owned by chris and probably always will be, people should thank him for comming up with the idea for the game and then for the time he took to make it. Yes chris's updates tend to be lousy, and dare i say, extremly rare. But atleast he does update the game.

I will take this from Smileyz:

Solution 1: Don't play them

Solution 2: Make your own "pro" level (or are you too "lazy" or "laggy" or whatnot)

Solution 3: Go to somebody "pro"'s profile and play their levels (and maybe guest bomb them too)

Very true, especially the second and last. I guess again people can build what they want, but that dosent stop you from building what you want. So why dont you go build a pro world? An then enjoy the 'praise' you may get for making that.

But if people complain about noob worlds despite the fact they may not be capable of producing a high quality Level. Then they really cant speak. But i havent really come across people like that. All i can suggest is that you try to enjoy the game, after all, it is just a game, right?

Re: My opinions of EE.

First, the lobby is less in quality than a piece of dog poop. I have never been interested in people playing my levels nor it being at the top of the lobby. I don't want a bunch of noobs noobing it up all over my levels and spamming the chat with stupid questions like "will u buy me beta?".

That solves your issue with noobs and crashers. Just don't guestbomb or care about how many people are in your level, it really is pointless and a waste of time.

Second, I see you don't like Chris. Well, he made the game you play. He has his own idea of what he wants the game to become, and since he created something you love he must know how to create more experiences that you'll love. Like portals, coin doors, background blocks, etc. Are you forgetting all the good things that you can't imagine life without?

I personally don't think it's wise to constantly add new bricks once a week. Eventually we'll end up with 10 tabs that take up the whole screen when you open them, which would be very annoying and time consuming. It's already starting to get time consuming when I want a specific brick.

And this is completely true:

Overall, Everybody Edits is a fantastic tool, not a game. It's popular as a tool and the majority of people playing it have some sort of world they have created, however terrible that world might be. Some of the levels are epic and come out of some of the most creative minds I've ever seen.

I also like Mega Lamb's post.
