{NL2} What's Been Going On Around the Village? 4/28

Aww then I can't see the ride povs

[TTD03]

I downloaded and I think it is awesome!

Don't forget you guys... RATE, RATE, RATE!

[TTD03]

I know!
I'll get to it!

Re-downloaded! Files where all there! I must say what a great park!

One week on the exchange, 130 downloads but only ONE RATING, and a few comments? Come on guys, what's up with that?

[TTD03]

^ It happens.
We are working on a better way for ratings in the future!

Yeah, you almost should be glad you got one rate given the trend over the last few weeks!

I have yet to download it but hopefully I'll get chance to give you some thoughts In the meantime do your bit for the community and drop a rate on a ride that hasn't got one yet

I'm grateful for the downloads and all the comments and critiques I got along the way while the park was being built but to know the amount of work put in over the past 7 months, it bugs me a little to know that ONE rate that I DID get was bogus! Thats honestly what bugs me the most! A 6.65, like really???
But I'll most definitely take a look at that ride in the morning and give my ratings!

^ I'm convinced, I'll rate you when I get home.

@TTD03 Thanks, I'd appreciate that!

What makes you think you deserved a higher one? You had rough, twitchy transitions. The tracks weren't the smoothest. You had red lateral Gs as well. An average rating is 5/10, and yours was above that.

Download some NL1 tracks of each coaster type you included in your park that have an average rating of 9.00 or higher, and then see if your technique is up to par with theirs.

[TTD03]

Alright I rated!
Enjoy!

Sauron's rating was well explained and provided you with good feedback - rating inherently is very subjective - take what he said and use that to improve your next ride. Often harsher rates are far more productive for making you a better designer!

I understand what you're saying and I want to be understood that I do appreciate EVERYONE'S (including Sauron's) comments and rating! Idk, I feel like I'm relatively generous with the way that I rate people and I try to make my comments as detailed as possible, especially if I can obviously tell that a lot time was spent on it, even if it's not 100% flawless, you know? To put it in perspective, I feel like a student who spent weeks working on a 15-20 paper, turned it in, got it back and saw that he got a "D" because the professor could find the thesis it's just a bummer, that's all. But anyway, there are NO hard feelings towards anyone and like mkingy said, I'll use the comments and criticisms to better my next project (which btw will have an update coming soon).

Thanks again to EVERYONE for the comments and feedback given throughout this project!

You're Welcome.
I haven't rated in a while so hopefully I was "on par" with rating standards.

Hello all, its been awhile since we've visited this park as DechLave has been a bit busy with construction of the sister parks, City Park and Westland Thrill Valley... But, today is good day for the Village for two reasons, (1) today's the first actual operating day for the park's floorless coaster, 'A'RAGE' and (2) we're proudly announcing the arrival of a brand new coaster! No, FULL specs, stats, animations or pics of the new coaster will be released at this time but know that this coaster will be the tallest and fastest of its kind, at 250ft. and over 80mph, over 4000ft of track, with a BEHIND VERTICAL first drop!

Um....

No, specs or stats of the new coaster will be released at this time

250ft. and over 80mph, over 4000ft of track,

Oops...
You guys got a freebie!

Are you planning on releasing a new version of the park with A'RAGE soon or are you going to wait until the new coaster is finished as well? Are you going to do a revision on the original file from a month ago or upload it again?

@zacattack1104 I plan releasing a revised version of the original park file WITH A'RAGE either later on tonight or tomorrow... Construction updates of the new coaster will be posted on this thread.
