| starsabers | I think this reviewer was flat out wrong. Some ppl liked this level. I can understand that this is the new reviewer but from what I can tell I have to say he need a little help. Well any way. Also I think this level deserves better, more like a 75. The lighting was better than in most levels. If the reviewer knew how to use JK better his review would have been better. The reviewer for my old level, was much more 'nice' and 'polite' than this on and I hope Massassi.net will remove this level reviewer from further reviews. If this wasn't even my level and someone said this stuff to a level that was this good or better (or worse) I would have the same opinion about the reviewer. All I can say is, poor job on your reviewing skills. Go back to grammer school and do a book report that gets an A and not a F on it. That is all, StarSabers *History Maker |

| StarSabers | Sorry about the 2 other thing, I clicked it 2 to many times. :) |
| Goofz | Actually, I think the review is rather generous with the points, probably even too generous. All the points of critizism are well-founded, the architecture is very basics, sky-flags are missing all over the place and the weapon-placement is weak. The only really positive point is the good joice of ambient noises. That doesn't mean the level can't be fun to play in, but it definitely makes the level worse. My personal advice to the author would be to a) read the advice ReAcToR has posted at the download-page of the level and b) stop rudely attacking the reviewers withouth _anything_ to back his attacks up. Cheers, Goofz |
| ApoK_DragonPhinn | I'm sorry you feel that way, StarSabers, but here is the honest truth. You level was not 75 quality. First off lets look at a few levels that deserves around a 75 http://www.massassi.net/reviews/jkmp/6.shtml http://www.massassi.net/reviews/jkmp/163.shtml http://www.massassi.net/reviews/jkmp/193.shtml These are 75 levels, which Massassi describes as being, quote: "70 - 80 Most "good" levels will fall into this range. Levels that have a lot going for them, but a few bugs for gameplay hits that just don't mesh quite right. These are definitely keepers if the theme suits your fancy, but if you're looking for only the best levels, you may want to try the higher score ranges." Lets compare these levels to your level. (I am using Octogon Mines 2 as a reference seeing as that is the level that is on my HD right now) Stats: You: 111 Sectors ; 15 Lights Octogon Mines: 343 Sectors ; 51 Lights I'm not saying that more sectors makes a better level, but more sectors shows more architecture. More lights are not better, but it shows more effort. Lets disect your level area by area. There were four areas that were in your level. 1) Outside 2) Inside /w Pit and Tie Fighter 3) Inside /w Box 3do's and powerups 4) Hallway /w Conc and powerups 1) The outside, despite from lacking any real architecture, was a box improperly flagged with one buttress which was used to fight on. This establishment also carried a handfull of items which nullified any ability to carry a true saber match. 2) The inside with a pit was a box, with the majority of it extruded down for a few sectors, then the bottom was textured a sky, but not flagged one. The area where you walked fit one man abreast, and could not support a gun match, seeing as either conc, rail, or thermal detonator, which by the way are three of the four weapons in the entire level, would send you flailing off the precipiece. killing you. 3) The box with box 3do's and powerups was nothing special. In fact, the box 3do's weren't even templated properly, because their parent was not _walkstructure or _zwalksturctur, which counts as a non-floor flag. The room was too cluttered to saber in, and it was probably the best place to gun, but it still was terrible for that. 4) The hallway where you put the conc and powerups was probably the best architecture in the level, which isn't saying much. There were corners all over the place, all conformed textures. The conc could be picked up with almost full ammunition because of the powerups surrounding it. What about the cog by Bug that was added to make the detonators operate better? They probably hurt gameplay more than it helped. Like I said in my review, it was impossible to throw one without damaging or pusing yourself, and in a level where three of the four areas are surrounded by pits, this is not a good thing. And I so graciously neglected to mention the fact that there was a template error somewhere in the level which caused JK to close comepletely. It happened three out of the five attempts I did to play the level. This wasn't just my opinion, I played it with lots of other people on zone who helped me come up with this review. I'm sorry that my review didn't suit your needs, but I supported all my opinions with hard facts. You could only personally attack me, and even thoser were groundless (seeing as I am an award winning author of many essays). True, I am a new reviewer, but I know JK like that back of my hand. And I know how to voice my opinion without bashing the other person. If you would like to play the level with me sometime, and point out where inconsistancies were made in my review, I'd be more than happy to oblige, and even change my review if you make valid points. I'm sorry If I offended you by this comment, but I, myself, am offended by yours. I tried to keep it as civil as possible, but in my state right now, I don't know how successful I was. I apologize in advance. [email protected] DragonPhinn H Smith |
| StarSabers | I apologize too, I get that way all of a sudden at times. I am sorry I offended you, but you know how some ppl are at time. I ain't like that a lot but you know what I mean. I shouldn't have said anything about the review. Sorry. I know that my level was small but I, personaly don't like big levels. And about the weapons, I didn't place them, Bug did. He also added the mod. weapons. My next level will *hopefully* be better. And if you can review it too, just so I can see if you like my next ones. But now I did take a good week or so on the level, and I know that it was small. Sorry again, -StarSabers *History Maker |
| StarSabers | Also Bug did all the lighting in this level too. Just thought I should say that... |
| bug | Lighting poorly done? I'm hurt. ;) I found it kindof funny you complained about the randomness of the item placement though. I tried it several ways and I found this was the way it worked best with the level. On one end of the level you have the concy with enough ammo to back it up. On the other end you have the thermos and a few semi-decent weapons in case you need them. Jutting out from the center you have the landing platform with all the health and shield powerups. You can't camp out on the landing platform though, since you are out in the open and all anyone has to do is toss a thermo detonater down there. Still, I thought the level lacked flow all the times I played it. Either way you went you hit a dead end and had to turn back. (I hate dead ends) Most of level was also on a horizontal plane. I only tried playing it 1v1, but due to the size I don't think it would play very well with many more people. |
