On the subject of the everchanging workshop, how bout those crazy Red-Moon guys + friends. Killer 26 piece "super" collection. I hope this does crazy well to prove a point about how inaccurately the current state of the website handles sets. On the 30 page view, if these all get to the top, one collection will just…
- Animation I'm excited about it. Waiting for workshop requirements be refreshed. - Variants & Color Swaps It's hard to say. TF2 and DOTA2 have different cameras. In TF2 we can see the characters closer and detailed. I remember Vitoddo saying his problems to making a weapon for PA on the set for Alliance. - League/Big…
I'll put this out there. I make a point of sorting through the workshop by newest entries rather than most popular so I can vote on stuff as it is submitted as opposed to adding to something with 10K votes in the bag. Even so, looking at the front page of the workshop right now, all of those entries look pretty solid.…
There's been a few anti mage blindfolds made to reference the dota 1 hero, that makes me curious, they've been on the workshop for a very long time. Along comes a pro player Anti-Mage set, has a blindfold, and gets put into the game days after upload. Why were the others rejected, low quality? Not part of a set? Or the…
Does it work? No. The Workshop works for those who have a name. however, there are so many problems getting in for those who are new. One problem is the 'snowball issue' Valve seem quite fond of, which also is present in Dota itself, and to me isn't good design - meaning, the three top items gets featured, and thus receive…
You are not stirring my pot at all. My point is that it is as it is, but it could stand to be improved. I will say this: when I posted my first item, I did quite well and was on page one without really trying, as well as my second item. Then not so good with the others, even though they had high approval - percentage-wise,…
@ kite212 - Netflix style would be amazing, what a great idea. Each row could be something different like Sets, Singles, Wards, Couriers, and "Pro/League" items. That would be so much better than how it is now. I also agree with the 'infinite scroll' idea. Perhaps the two could be combined. @ hopgood - more broken down…
A rating merc caught in the wild, finally :) The only time i encountered one on my alt account, he mass downvoted my items when i told him to get out, probably not a bot voting merc, but manually, it's enough to cheese an item. I think downvote mercs are more problematics than upvote mercs. It takes only one downvote to…
Been away from this thread for a while (still awesome btw), and I've had some new thoughts on the workshop, but a couple of quick catch up points first, if you guys don't mind: * Feedback from Valve on every item is not practical. The workshop is great, but in a lot of ways it's extremely slow already and this would likely…
So took the time finally to read through this thread and I'm glad I did/ (glad) its around. Really informing stuff all around. Great thoughts everyone and thanks for sharing! As far as the workshop layout is concerned, its minor but there should be a set amount of entries on each page. There are options for 9/18/30 per…
