[Quest Pack] [8 Quests] ETERNAL KINGDOM

[j_dean80]

I like the idea of a place people can post what Quests they tried. Rate it. Leave a review. Can remain anonymous.

In your case, KK, it is more the massive amount of what you created. I know it would take some time to get through, so I keep shifting it to a later date.
I am so massively out of time since a few years that it is a wonder I even got as far as I got.

Yours and a few others variants are the ones I really want to read. Count Mohawks is another example of one that I intend to read in detail and then keep shifting. In your cases I know that you were investing a lot of time to really develop your variants: it is not just another quick fan add on full of failures but there is some serious development and thinking behind your variants.
So don't think I don't value what you do, I know that there is gold. I just have get it... next time I have time.

Yeah, I know, the amount...
I really need art to draw people in more urgently.

If it's anonymous then certain people will use it as vendetta tool to criticise the work of others regardless of its quality, unfortunately.

That's a trifle paranoid, but rating systems are not good because they are never fair or even well scaled.
If you give people a scale from 1 to 10, the 5 is different for everybody.
Then you think you find a perfectly fine quest and give it a 10.
Now, what if something even better comes along?

No, rating systems are broken in design. As are most egos and expectations of the rated.
Some people know they can't handle bad ratings, so they won't present their stuff.
Worse, some people don't know they can't handle criticism and lash out.

From me, a firm NAY to any rating systems. Quest competitions in different categories
(single quest, quest pack 2-5 quests, quest pack 6-10 quests, quest pack 11+ quests, solo quest etc.),
now that would be something purposeful.

Could be as simple as thumbs up or down, but when I said "rate" I wasn't actually meaning it in that way. Meant more "I liked it or was too simple etc" I'll take good or bad feedback. After all I don't have to agree or use it.

Slightly updated version below.
Whoever has already downloaded, this new version introduces ntohing new, it was just about icon style.
It will also be integrated in a major Dropbox update this week or next.

From What would you like to see at Ye Olde Inn?:

I think it would be cool if there was a way to rate the Quests that can be downloaded here at the Inn, kinda like how images are rated in the Gallery. A comment section could be provided as a kind of mini-review. That way folks could learn which Quests are recommended by those who have played them (or at least read them).

Agreed. I'll add it to my to-do list.

Meanwhile, here's a brainstormed idea: Any Quest-creator interested in anonymous feedback could include as a rating in his or her topic a 10-choice poll with no time limit. A rater has 1 vote that remains open to change. A post could add the descriptor [Rated] to attract attention. Something like this:

[Rated] [Quest Pack] [10 Quests] - Kellar's Keep

Actually, it might be a good idea for such a poll to be split into two 10-choice sections, the top for voters who have actually played the Quest or Quest Pack, and the bottom for those who have only read through it.

[It takes a while, but if any play reviews were posted in a [rated] Quest topic, I could add links to them in the Quest OP. -edit]

[*]In Quest 6.1, where can the well tile be downloaded from?

Found it! It's the Large Pool from the Mage Knight Icon Pack. It references a pretty cool terrain piece from the Mage Knight Dungeons Artifacts Set 2.

I just stumbled upon this quest pack and was going "wow!"

I was just shortly entering all those quests into my quest inndex and found that you talk about the 5th quest pack, but in your numbering internally you write 6.1, 6.2, 6.3... was it in express?
