1.12 update details (....its alive!!!!)

Unlike everyone else, I kinda like the new update. Mostly because the dive in button is in a more conveinent location. This way, I can click the button, and disapoint myself even faster. Thanks Media Molecule!

The boo-be-gone kinda sucks though. Now I can't boo the levels that deseve to be shoved down the bottom of what we call the LBP Community, like the scam and costume levels.

Last night ugly new bug related to this update happened to me. At the very beginning of a level, EULA screen appeared with Accept and Decline options. Nothing could be done other than restart LBP.
It must be that I really love LBP, when despite all the annoying and will-killing old and new bugs I still rush to play it.

I understand the mindset they had when they removed Boo's, but the way they dealt with it is completely wrong. I feel like they removed it just to save some little kid's self esteem when his bomb survival or any other mediocre level gets boo'd. Now, in no way am I saying that ALl kids are bad creators. I'm just trying to say that what by removing Boo's, they removed a very important part of level rating. Not letting people express their honest opinion without having to write a comment or review, (which doesn't affect the level rating at all) is just a downright bad idea.

sorry but i don't see that logic at all. a level with 10% yays is not going to be as good as a level with 50% yays (taking into consideration the amount of plays of course). it's a simpler system and works better IMO. yays and boos created a fluctuating assessment of a levels quality, were as just having yays creates a constant that is a relative assessment of a levels quality. this means that levels are rated in terms of the quality at present. so, in order to gain kudos from the community all you have to do is concentrate on getting yays and you don't have to worry about personal tastes or nasty people who just like to boo for the sake of it. now the only comparison people have is how many yays they have. this isn't too dissimilar to comparing yays with boos but it does away with the negative aspects that should never have been there in the first place.

think about it this way: if this site had the ability to boo people for posting as well as thank people for posting it would lead to a lot of problems and personal vendettas. when you look at the thanks, you don't go back through the thread to see who hasn't thanked you, you are just pleased that you have been thanked. if you could then filter threads based on the amount of thanks, you would get a near perfect assessment of who makes the most effort and who makes the better comments.

that is what's happening at the moment in the LBP community and it makes sense

There use to be a variation of the boo on LBPC. It removed reputation every time you used it. It worked very well, helped point out the jerkfaces.

maybe you should delete the patch and try again. i don't have any problems playing on LBP myself. no freezes ETC.

[GribbleGrunger]

same here. no problems whatsoever

I didn't write many posts, but I want to share an idea. Why MM don't make rating system with three options? I mean:
1. Yay - great level, fantastic
2. Mhm - could be better but keep creating, you have potential
3. Boo - uncreative, copy, no effort put into level, H4H
And I thought that would be great if MM gave us possibility to tell what is good in level and what needs more work.
For example:

"Mhm
+ gameplay, story, character
- visuals, music"

What do you think about my idea? Is it good? Or wrong? I'm waiting for yours opinions.
If my English grammar is bad, please tell me what's wrong.

EDIT:
I was thinking about that and I changed my mind. My idea isn't good.
I think just, that MM should replace "boos" with something like "Uncreative". You know for "FREEPRIZEZCOSTUMZFORBOYZANDGIRLZSHARKBOMBMORTALSU RVIVALZOMBIEMOVIE" levels.

I think they should make boos a disablable thing. infact heres desperately what i think they should do
-auto ban for not abiding by the terms of online (as say a badge saying 10 mins of create but 20 levels in your earth or a special recorded time of how long you've been in create)
-3 bans = ip ban. making it after 3 bans you will get banned from your ip. so you will not only have to prob buy a new ps3. you will have to get a new hard drive, router, IP if even possible. and then try again
-hacking. would just ban the person in the general area every time he/she makes a new account.
-better hack protection. really. psn and lbp need better hack/glitch protection. idk what to say about this.
and thats about it.

-now i know sony will have to update the entire ps3 for it.
