#836367 GGT FINAL Voting Round -- Futuristic New Years Day.

Posted by Crzy on 31 December 2013 - 20:54 in Graphics

Set 1) 9/10

 

I love the interesting concept of the doomsday before New Year's and the way "the countdown" was for the end rather than the new beginning. For a piece that had 2 weeks to complete, there are some flaws though. The comet blast or whatever that light is in the window actually smudges into the room/window in the middle so perhaps it was a layer ordering issue? The blast effects in the background are nicely done but there's a part on the left side that has fire in the smoke that suddenly has a black block. Sort of looks like part of the smoke effects were accidentally erased. The robotic girl's head is also rather sharp and could have used some blending IMO. The grainy wall in the background might be making it appear that way though.

 

Not really an error per-say but I would have loved to see the Times Square stock changed up a bit to match the Futuristic theme. Perhaps change all the lighting to neon or something we all find synonymous with the future. Despite the slight errors, I still love the concept so I'm marking this high. Would even love to have the avatar lol.

 

Set 2) 5/10

 

I'm marking this one in the middle because it meets the New Years theme but I honestly don't see much in terms of the futuristic aspect. I really have no clue what the concept of this was going for. What do the lightpoles have to do with the future or the robot? The hair of the robot looks fuzzy and could have used some blending as well. TBH this looks like a postcard you'd receive from a vacationing family in the future lol.

 

It doesn't look like 2 weeks worth of work was put into it the piece.

 

Set 3) 1/10

 

I'm sorry but for being in the finals, it doesn't look like much thought or work was put into this one. For having 2 weeks, I would expect a lot more work and a better concept. As others have stated, nothing here really says future other than the horse. Everything is rather blurry and not blended well as if you had no time to work on anything. Hoping the holiday season got in the way with your time because that would make this piece understandable.

 

 

Sorry for being the Scrooge of the holiday season. :P Judging harshly because of the 2 week period to work on the pieces, even though it is the holidays. There should have been enough days to pull out some solid works.




#836234 Buff Marketplace

Posted by Crzy on 31 December 2013 - 04:05 in General Discussion

Thinking outside the box:

 

How about if a buff-selling player can list prices and a maximum amount of stam available for buffing (obviously not exceeding current stam at listing time)?

 

If a buff-seller's self-imposed stam limit is overcome (or their paid time runs out), they are then removed from the listing.

 

Seems to me, that this idea maxes buff availability, avoids autorefresh problems, avoids thieving capabilities and still makes Shout Box and FSBox viable alternatives.

 

Thoughts?

 

I would personally be in favor of this idea but I know other players would hate it because of the automation. It would allow players to find buffs at all hours, buffers would get an income, and PVPers would have targets to hit. That would honestly be a win win for everyone other than the buffer when he gets hit for all of his gold when a PVPer finds him/her lol. As everyone says though, everything in the game must have risk. What's riskier than buffing for thousands of stam for gold while you sleep in hopes that a PVPer won't find you. :P

 

Perhaps we can make the Shoutbox free to everyone then charge people to list themselves as a buffer on the new system?




#836211 Buff Marketplace

Posted by Crzy on 31 December 2013 - 01:41 in General Discussion

 So why is everyone debating auto refresh abuse?

 

No one is saying auto-refresh is being abused. We're just saying Auto-refresh is what's messing up the current Find Buffs feature in FSH. So rather than having this new buff system have a problem right out the gate, we want auto-refresh addressed. As it stands now, the Find Buffs feature brings up anyone that's been online within x amount of minutes and has y buff listed in their profile.

 

Players that have Auto-reload on are constantly being advertised as selling buffs even though they're not at the PC. So buyers have to wait 1-10 minutes for no response before they go looking elsewhere which holds up their hunt.




#836134 Buff Marketplace

Posted by Crzy on 30 December 2013 - 20:42 in General Discussion

Can you somehow make it so the Buffer must have CLICKED something within the last minute for them to be listed on the market? Auto-refresh doesn't click anything. If there's a check in place that requires them to have clicked(shows they're actually active) then you can remove all the headaches from having auto-refreshers being listed all day. So make an Opt-in/Out button for the buffer to click then have a system check in place to see if they've done any actions on FS other than reload.

 

I'm also in favor of keeping everything anonymous in order to lower any harassment issues. Not too long ago a certain Potion Maker sold a ton of potions on the AH and a PVPer bid on all of them. Then when the AH ended, that PVPer attacked the potion maker, stealing all(Master Thief kicked in) of his original gold back and gaining a ton of free potions in the process. If this is possible with buffers, it will be an option I won't bother with.

Still not sure how any of us will beat Rodigo's entry. :P

Alright I got it on Photobucket somehow. I guess it resizes it to 800x500 at first but if you keep clicking on the image, eventually it zooms in to the original file size. Glad it worked because I wasn't quite sure about what you were asking with resizing the PSD. :P I use GIMP lol.

 

And thanks Chag! I look forward to seeing what you come up with. :)

Posted by Crzy on 23 December 2013 - 02:53 in Graphics

Which C4Ds are you talking about? The ones to the right, above his head, or the ones at the bottom? Not sure what other effects I can put in without making it look too busy.

 

As for his foot, I wanted to make it look like his right foot was stepping forward since it's darker and away from the light source in his other hand. If you think it came out bad, I can add the other foot so it looks like he's just standing still. :P

 

I'll mess with blurring to see if I can change the depth. I didn't mess with it the first time around because the sun/light is coming from behind him. Would have looked weird if I darkened the farther buildings when they have a strong light source next to it. To me, that was the sun rise lighting up all the destruction Alakazam caused overnight which is why it's darker near him.

I tried saving it to my photobucket account but apparently there's a size restriction because it was scaled down to 800x500. :/ If you think this could win then save it to your computer just in case tinypic doesn't keep that link active. First time I've ever done something this large so I have no clue how tinypic works when it comes to keeping links active.

 

If you click on the image then hit View Raw Image it will take you to the full size that you wanted.

 

TBH I didn't even change much from the background image. It fit perfectly with what I had in mind. Wanted to go a different route from normal happy Pokemon stuff. I tried to imagine what would happen if the powerful pokemon went berserk in real life. Wanted to put some text but ehhh...couldn't think of anything good enough. At the end of the day, it's an entry during a time when everyone is busy with exams/family/shopping. :P




#833824 Halo's Christmas Avatar Auction! Now with 16-20!

Posted by Crzy on 22 December 2013 - 17:08 in Market Place

^Glad someone is bidding on that one. That might be one of the few female character avies that I would wear. :P Was gonna bid if no one else did.




#833701 Halo's Christmas Avatar Auction! Now with 16-20!

5 fsp on 15. If I win, would it be possible to see the original image/render?




#833223 HCS' Poor Priorities

lol And here I was expecting a Grinch type thread. :P

 

Milk = strong bones!

Cookies = diabetes!

3 fsp is fine with me. Glad you liked it. :)




#832963 Reinvigorating the GFX forum

Posted by Crzy on 20 December 2013 - 01:27 in Graphics

Think someone could convince Hoof to make a copy of the GFX Forum and put it under the Fallensword categories? Right now if you login to the game first and click Forums on the Hunted Cow Bar, it takes you straight to FS Forums. So that might be why people aren't checking the forum, they don't know you have to click back on the Forums tab right under the Art Cow on the header.

 

It could be a simple forum that redirects everyone to this forum when it's clicked on. That way we don't separate the GFX community from other games. I know some Eldevin peeps have strolled and even bought stuff from people here.

Told me to put a piece in, here you go. :) I'm fine with whatever you feel it's worth.




#832923 2013 Grand Graphics Final Round Theme

Posted by Crzy on 19 December 2013 - 22:37 in Graphics

lol Well you did want Photo Manipulation. :P This theme seems like it fits under that category. Good luck everyone!




#832851 Possibly Graphics Awards 2013

Posted by Crzy on 19 December 2013 - 20:01 in Graphics

Best Newcomer

 

If you're going to have the best returning artist, then a best newcomer artist seems only fair. :P




#832524 Christmas Exchange

Posted by Crzy on 19 December 2013 - 00:09 in Graphics

Please tell me you guys will all be posting the artwork here for our viewing pleasure. :)




#831938 Possibly Graphics Awards 2013

Posted by Crzy on 17 December 2013 - 17:53 in Graphics

The only problems I could really forsee is that there isn't really many categories you could have, and there isn't really that many people active on this section of the forum.

 

This would be my concern as well. What type of categories are we talking about?




#831288 NPC Bounties

Posted by Crzy on 16 December 2013 - 01:37 in General Discussion

Still no word from HCS if this would be possible? :(




#829408 ,,,

Posted by Crzy on 11 December 2013 - 21:48 in Graphics

BAD CLOUD!

 

Test

 

 

It let me copy/paste no problem. Just hit CNTL+C to copy then CNTL+V to paste.




#828908 NPC Bounties

Posted by Crzy on 10 December 2013 - 18:59 in General Discussion

Well that can always be adjusted later if there really is a riot over 10% exp loss lol. Maybe the PVP Protection could even fall under the same NPC bounty protection.




#828518 Guild XP while sub-leveling

Posted by Crzy on 10 December 2013 - 03:15 in General Discussion

Alright in that case, I like it. Gives people a chance to burn their stam banks without deleveling. You guys might still have a problem with people hitting EOC to fast though. :P I'd imagine everyone will still hold onto their epic chests because they can reach EOC without using an epic pot.

 

Might want to think about doing the New Game+ at 2000 like I suggested in the other thread. ;)




#828514 Guild XP while sub-leveling

Posted by Crzy on 10 December 2013 - 03:11 in General Discussion

Wait, so this change is just for EOC when they try to level past the EOC cap? So if I'm 1875 and there's no new content, I can keep hitting the 1875 monster and still gain EXP like normal? Would the XP reduction return once new content is released?

 

If this is what the change is proposing then it seems like there would be 0 reason to move to any new level. Camp in one map and just hunt there for all your levels without having to waste stam moving to new places.




#828487 Guild XP while sub-leveling

Posted by Crzy on 10 December 2013 - 02:46 in General Discussion

And about who de-leveling with currently system hoof? are you will give back all time, effort and a lot of FSP for those who spent too much de-leving with currently system waiting to event ?

 

The Cows never promised an event. So technically they don't need to do anything for the players who deleveled with the HOPES of an event.




#828482 Guild XP while sub-leveling

Posted by Crzy on 10 December 2013 - 02:44 in General Discussion

So this fix is for FUTURE people thinking about deleveling? There will be 0 reason to delevel because you'll still get the same XP no matter the level difference?

 

If that's the case then I guess it solves the issue of deleveling on the BB. I'm assuming the last proposal of adding a new Gold reward to delevel any amount of times would still be added right?
