Okay, so something has come to my attention over the past week of viewing the map showcase thread. There are maps that are much farther along and need some honest input about certain things from screenshots that they have put up. and then there are maps that have just been started and only have some basic brush layout done. The funny thing is, the maps that are less complete and don't need a lot of comments are the ones that are getting a truckload of them, and the maps that are nearly complete or would like to be complete but are not sure if they are good enough for some of the mappers here aren't getting nearly half the amount of comments they should OR get a lot of "looks good can't wait to try it" and stuff like that.
Now to me a post like that is pretty much worthless, cause it doesn't really tell you much other than... they think it looks good and don't really feel the need to tell you anything else they think. Lol. EVERYONE has something more to say, just most don't feel the need to say it cause they don't have to. But honestly, if you don't state those little things that you think aren't important to how are people supposed to make their maps better?
I'm not sure if people are just more scared to list their opinions on maps that are fully textured and are in beta stages or real late alpha stages. But one things for sure, I'm sure at least 95% of all the mappers, new or old, would def. appreciate some more in depth comments about their maps. and now that doesn't mean necessarily mean you have to type a paragraph for them. But just let them know what you really think about it. And ANY and I mean ANY little thing you think would looks better or would more suit the area or theme let them know. Cause they won't hate you for it and they'll most likely thanks you/ And if they do hate you just brush it off cause they're probably a dick in RL as well and always think that their ideas are the best. Lol.
So in saying that, I leave everyone to voice what they think of what I think and the situation that I have brought up. Let me know if I'm way outta whack or if I'm just missing something that other people are seeming to understand. Thank you and all comments are appreciated.
