Official Site Question Dump

[TREX]

@Oman1666 , if you want to get involved with what's going on with the site. The biggest way to help out and get attention is to Playtest for different customs teams. That is probably the biggest thing going on around here. There are a few that come to mind. Superheroes-C3G playtesting, HOSS-Heroes of Starwars scape playtesting, and C3V-regular spirit of heroscape continued playtesting. They are located in the forums. You not only get to talk with the people creating new customs that are quite legitimate, but help them by giving feedback and commenting on the designs all while having a bit of fun. Hope this helps you with your endeavor.

Another piece of advice is to comment on other people's things. The more people see you, the more interested they'll be in your offerings.

I can see why that would be a big thing. But currently, it doesn't really catch my interest. I'm not even nearly done collecting and exploring all the original official stuff, and don't really play with groups often enough to test anything out

Thanks. I'll try that out. Any advice for some active forums everyone's watching?

Customs, maps, and online tournaments are big. Just go for what you find interesting!

Much, if not most playtesting is done solo.

Really? I didn't know that.

Much, if not most HoSS testing is done solo. When I was more involved with C3G, much of that testing was also done solo. I have not been involved with VC testing.

I would say most testing for the projects is done solo, out of the 100+ sets tests I run I would say something like a tenth at most of my games are played against an actual opponent.

So yeah, without sounding desperate... how do I get people to look at and comment on my stuff, and what stuff should I be getting involved with?

Playtest with the C3V, online. Send a PM to @Dysole and @Kinseth , expressing your interest in doing so. They'll show you how to play online. You'll play with great people and share your thoughts about the great units we have in development.

Our playtesting isn't solo. It needs you.

This is pretty big. Keep checking the "New Posts" view (or "Today's Posts") and jump into conversations there.

I'm probably being stupid here, but I can't find how to disable email notifications.
