I will need to think carefully if I will mark my new collections as sets. From what I saw if you have collection market as set it is put into queue instead of your items. So users get to vote only once on collection instead of voting for example 6 times on items. This is very risky. More over you cant put any screenshots…
@Konras I think the best upside to this is that we now know that Valve are taking into account votes on collections in addition to individual items. Collections weren't a big deal in the last workshop (in comparison to top row home page then). It might also take into account that they are possibly focusing more on pos/neg…
just submitted my first set since the changes.. we'll see how it goes. I do wish they would let us add images to the collection page, as well as reduce the huge grey bar along the top of the image we can have. Also, let us insert images and gifs into the collection description like the other pages if this is the direction…
Some good discussion happening in this thread. It seems we are all unsure of one main thing. What combination of positive vote % + number of votes + art quality + advertising + Valve's interest + Valve's implementation overhead does it take to get in game? It seems like an ever changing, evolving answer. On another note,…
@Kite, i really don't like that idea mianly becuase then people will vote based on icon rather than based on actual ingame item. Just take out the vote on the page and I'd be fine with the new layout. I think if collections took only one spot, it could easily push items to the front.
Kite, I'd say don't hesitate to make a mockup of that dream ! Anything that can be done to help Valve can help - especially considering that they have been implementing many of the suggestions made here in the past (one-click collection items thumbs up, artists 'follow' button, binging up old items back into the spotlight,…
I really think this 'queue' system is great. Basically "here's a bunch of items for you to vote on". And its a mixed bag of quality, not just the most popular. I'm glad to see the time gone where a single set would get all the attention for a week or more, considering that items are uploaded daily. But yes, like most have…
You know what would be rather nice. Is an Artist appreciation month. We seem to have seasonal/festival, 3rd party months, but not one that says "we appreciate workshop artists" Add 2 chests, one that contains only veterans work, and another that's just for people new to the workshop (with zero accepted sets). Good way for…
I was thinking of doing a 1 Public - rest private submission on my next set that I upload. You upload everything, Make 1 of the pieces public and the rest Hidden. I'm not sure where Valve would stand on this but it would filter out bloat, and if someone has comment on a certain item they can just comment on the visible…
