Damn, I had written a long reply but it looks like it got lost in the internet. I'll cut this one short. @Plant - I know that feeling haha, I made that AM blind helm set about 2 months ago or something. And once I saw Tvidotto's set I knew that my AM set was never going in. Not that it was likely to go in with the way…
In my opinion it all started when sets for pro players/teams/organizations started to appear on workshop. Than people with some kind of community backup saw this and thought that they also can get a cut in sales just for doing basically nothing. I actually doubt Valve can do anything about it, because its like a hydra, you…
They've added some more integration with the most recent patch. Now when you select a hero it gives you a window showing sets available for that hero. You can purchase them directly from there too. It's a little touch of great exposure for sets that are no longer at the front of the Store. I'd love to see the uploading…
HawtKoffee : thumbnails require you to go back to the ingame uploader, but they do not require the re-upload of the mesh and textures. It is a separate step and it is actually very quick. (I just changed all my thumbnails the other day and it all went smoothly, without resetting the workshop pages, view counts or ratings).…
Perhaps, on some semi-regular basis, Valve could pick either a set/item that's been added or one that's good but not been added and say what they liked, what they'd change/tweak and - if it's not been accepted - why it didn't make the cut. Even if it's "we feel it's too similar to this thing we added" or "we feel this…
My main problem with the way the workshop works is the "empty" submissions. I've posted countless messages on peoples items that are literally, a stolen image from a hero, claiming it as original work, and as a "new" loading screen. I've also had the missfortune of uploading an item, just to realize that 5 minutes after i…
Great topic Bounch, It looks like most of the topics are already on the table, to add a few thoughts/ideas. The ability to group sets on the main workshop page or at least re tool the current collection section so that its on par with single items. For example - sets are created during the item submission process, within…
This might stir some pots or be taken the wrong way, or just be redundant, haha, maybe... But Im going to say it because I think it sort of needs to be said. I think having any entitlement or holding valve to any type of standard while submitting items/expectations about what will be accepted will automatically lead to…
one of the core reasons I started this thread actually. I know how frustrating it is to be super proud of your item, believe in it, only to see after a week it has 200 views. It will get a huge amount of favorites and upvotes, but if it never gets votes fast enough it will stay down, so then you get situations where you…
I just don't see loading screens as something that could possibly take off. Loading screens being personal has advantages and disadvantes: Since they are personal, I think a large range of artistic styles will be accepted. The downside is, I think loading screens will never take off in the trading communities, and will not…
