Is this needed?
 
Well, People say everyone is working on the New Era.. And now they just changed the Recycling-center at unstick?

I don't think this is needed, why not be creative on the new era so we can play it faster..?
(Btw, why is it made of table tiles?)

I agree, it also looks rather funky. I don't really like the new design to be honest... I don't mind the underground part, but the top is strange

Frankie 02-04-2009 07:19 PM

I guess Etrican was hired in effort to provide Era with a developer that can do updates to the main server while other staff are working on Era Dev. I do agree though that the recycling center didn't need to be changed. The old levels were fine and certainly better than the ones Etrican made. I'm not really a big fan of his work.

I can't stand levels that are made in a dark theme, with lack of a better word (see GP headquarters for an additional example.) Black tables? Black walls? Gray carpet? It's so ugly. Not to mention the only black "walls" Era has is it's black table tiles, making the levels look a bit odd.

The size of the levels are also a bit unneeded. There's a big lobby, then you go downstairs to a big room with these 4 little recycling bins. I liked the old levels better where it was just 1 small compact room. Levels that are small and don't have huge wastes of space usually tend to appeal to me a lot more.

Etrican also has a huge problem with depth which is clearly noticeable in his recycling center.

I don't mean to be bashful but I just don't understand why people don't think before they start changing things around on Era..

Same with core electronics.
I find them not pretty.

Bl0nkt 02-04-2009 09:11 PM

I think they're good-looking levels to an extent, and he used the setImgPart() function on the tiles that hasn't been used in a long, long time (so I'm hoping this is seen more often now). The thing I dislike is the setting for which he applied to a trash disposal. It looks very corporate-- not something just a recycling center would look like.

natchez416 02-04-2009 10:53 PM

-Recycling center: I think the new levels are an improvement, I actually like them. Although I agree with hachi the theme and feel of a recycling center is missing.

-GP headquarters: I guess the inside levels are okay, but the outside looks horrible to me. It's just the same outside level that was used for the gas station that used to be there. Fix the outside level please !!!

-NeoTech: On a side note, whoever made those indoor levels for the new Neotech is a genius. Beautiful work.

Etrican has a habit of making levels that don't match the external building's size.

why is Etrican (assuming it's him) going around replacing random tiles with the black tiles?

there could be more. those 3 I've noticed so far though.

DustyPorViva 02-04-2009 11:34 PM

lol who in the world ever thought, 'hey, we need tiles so buildings can be black!'

Why are you constantly whining about Era?

those tiles were made to be used for tables (see the coin shop for an example!) don't know who's bright idea was to start using it for buildings, but this isn't the first time.

It's pretty embarrassing to be honest. You look like a pathetic and bitter ex-staff member who has nothing else to do but moan on about things when he didn't even do much himself. Then again that is what you are so if the cap fits.

DustyPorViva 02-04-2009 11:38 PM

Black buildings... rofl.

if I cared about what people think about me for what I'm doing, I wouldn't be doing it!

No you shouldn't care what people will think about you, It makes you a better more powerful person in life. On Graal sometimes it can be a bit different though.

That's a gross generalization. So it goes without saying that it's not always true.

well yeah, obviously on Graal it's way different. you can act like whatever you want. after 3 months of not being seen anywhere on these forums / in-game I could of came back as goody two shoe and kiss ass back to where ever I wanted. instead I choose to be a bitter ***** calling out every little thing I don't like about the server. lol

***** is sensored? rofl (bad word that begins with an m and ends with an n)

Elizabeth 02-05-2009 01:09 AM

mm i like the new recycling place

salesman 02-05-2009 01:30 AM

I really don't like any of the the level changes at all...or at least the ones I've seen.

CharlieM 02-05-2009 01:31 AM

I don't really care for the New Recycling place I mean it had a good thought going but whats behind the trophies? It seems eclectic to me

It's just a generic level named "Recycling Center"

I'd like to see more levels that actually resemble what they're supposed to be, and fit a theme.

yeah, the old level had vents in the ground with steam coming out of it which although is small, added a great deal to the theme of the level. there's also more you can do. it seemed a lot more like an industrial building than a house with recycling bins in it.

DKH89 02-05-2009 06:38 AM

sales was the first person i saw use them for walls and i like the look

however im not a fan of them being used for outside buildings

i ment for current era and i was just saying sence frankie brough up how they are ment for "just tables"

and thank u rave for repeating mange, i didnt understand it the first time
=p

salesman 02-05-2009 08:06 AM

Definitely not. When my house was originally made by Vincent he used those tiles, so when I redid it, I decided to keep them


Though, I definitely wouldn't use them on an outside level...

Curt1zzle 02-05-2009 08:10 AM

Etrican's levels suck.

DKH89 02-05-2009 08:11 AM

etricans pretty good, he didnt make that outside level by the way

DuBsTeRmAn 02-05-2009 08:32 AM

Rofl @ That base

Me: Hoay, I am in LC..
Player: Cool, Where is your base?
Me: Oh, It's the big table east of the hospital!

Arakonda 02-05-2009 11:03 AM

Kimmy made the outside level. And Etrican the inside, Both inside and outside suck. as you can see they keep eachother in balance.








Look at my posts Neet!

DazJenova 02-05-2009 02:19 PM

No idea why they wanted to change the recycling center, i personally liked the old one better because it basically just looked like a recycling center would.

I'm also not a fan of using those black table tiles for outside buildings, it looks stupidly retarded.

Yes but staff don't seem to see this, only players and other servers staff see this.

DazJenova 02-05-2009 02:21 PM

Kimmy's acually improving on her inside levels, i aint seen her outside levels recently. I gave her a few tips and it's worked, Etrican is helping on Era Dev also aswell as on era so i'm guessing he's a bit rusty on levels for being away far too long but i personally think Etrican's levels are decent when he doesen't use that dark black gray theme.

First why would someone be hired if they cant make good inside levels, That is an LAT's job. Second Etrican always uses the ****ty dark gray black tiles that look the same in every level, I think hes incapable of using any other tiles.

Because staff get hired, idle and do nothing. They realize they will get fired if they don't do something, so they go do extremely easy jobs (like changing tiles) so if a manager ask why are they so lazy, they can point to a job that took them 30 seconds and get at least a month longer to idle and do nothing before they have to do something.

Frankie 02-05-2009 05:02 PM

I like Kimmy's levels, but the outside of the recycling center isn't too great. she was probably trying to make it match the inside, so she used the black table tiles like Etrican did with the inside levels. I know she can do better. tile choice adds a lot to the overall outcome and she didn't really have much of a choice since she was matching Etrican's style.
