About Cool Levels

[Matt 82•]

I would direct you to this thread.

I had a quick look at your other posts and they`ve either been in your own threads or in a general chat thread.

This means you`re an unknown entity (ooh mysterious!) around here. You`re not likely to get loads of feedback if people don`t know if they`ll get it back or not.

Play other levels, give feedback and you`ll get plays and opinions soon enough.

Who is this Ramp character and why does everyone hate him so?

P.S - I really hope my level can make it to the cool level status!

Ramp is not a character, it`s a ramp! Just a level made in the beta that became the most played level in LBP and all it consisted of was a ramp and a skateboard.

'Cool levels' is a bit of a mis-nomer on these boards really. Your level will move from the regular section of the showcase to the cool levels once you get 20 replies in your thread. It has nothing to do with if your level is cool or not. The name just comes from LBP.

Question - Currently, my signature has a link to my level thread. If my level is moved to the cool levels page, does that mean my links will become dead? What I mean to say is, does the URL of a created level thread change once it is moved?

No it doesn't.

The reason being that the thread url is based on the order of the threads being made, so the first post ever made at the forum will be number 1 no matter which forum it is... though the LBP giveaway is gone forever, I think, so no thread 1 <_>

So yeah, basically, it is the same URL no matter which forum it is moved to.

Okay, sweet. I thought that numbers had something to do with all of that but I didn't know for sure.

Thanks for the help!

I guess its just me.. but I don't think ramp is bad at all!

I think we have to appreciate levels by the time they were posted. When I first played LBP, one of the first community levels that I played was Ramp. I remember that I had lots of fun in that level. Obviously now in retrospect the level isn't up to par to the current levels. But I remember that at that time, every one was making simple levels with yellow hanging sponges and called them detailed. Ramp stood out and that's why it got played so much.
The same thing happened when I played "Dead Space" for the first time. I was in complete shock and couldn't begin to understand how DarknessBear had made that level. But now, it's not as impressive. I mean, it's still excellent but not jaw-dropping like the first time.
These are levels that break the mold and then people get "inspired" by them and make something better. As time goes by, levels are getting more and more complex and detailed. So I don't think you should be so hard on Ramp. I can't wait for the next jaw-dropper!

Well, that's just my opinion..

Ohhh THATS HOW IT WORKS

Pleas excuse me if this is a dumb question but...

What if somebody posts a reply to their own thread just to tell somebody they finished something?

You said that if it has 20 replies then it gets added to cool pages does it include the reply of the creator.

I HAD played Ramp several times, but always when I first landed on skateboard it turned around. Ramp is a VERY BAD level.

My heads spinning from all this....I just want to have my level Not suck lol. I have made changes per suggestions but still...I wonder how anyone will see my level with so many to choose from. I am hoping to learn the more "fancy" techniques eventually. Sometimes all the gadgets make me feel quite duuuhhhh. We shall see lol.

Theres this level called Save, Die, Reload... not very many people played it but it is such a cool level!!

I completely agree with you my friend..couldn't have said it better myself.
Oh and by the way my level's pretty sweet - Lbp+ Survival ... check it out ...

the cool levels are getting clogged up at the moment with costume giveaways wich in my opinion isnt cool. we need more levels like the 3D snowboarding game i played earlier.

Grrrrr!! I thought it was after 450-500 views!! Noooo...
Hmmm there is sometimes a lot of "bad" replies on some levels.

So basically a "cool level" could have 20 "This level sucks!" comments and now its cool! XD
Or could just have a random chain conversation that deviates from the level itself.

man.. I'm just mad about the views thing..
