Kidbomber have you ever considered that people's schedule's have change since summer where many people could test most times of the day. This is the normal trend, lest time to test=less people testing.

I'm pretty sure KB is referring to the lack of feedback forgers are getting from the tester's guild. Everyone that tests a map should leave some type of feedback to give the forger many views of the map to see what can be changed to improve the map. I prefer in-game verbal feedback so I can get opinions from the forger. I tested a map last weekend and after every game, I reported new things I found in the map that could be fixed. Some people continuously broke out of the map and used it to their advantage, so I told the forger where to block off the top of the map. If you test a map and you get no feedback, how useful was that test? Maybe you can catch a few errors in spawns or map flow, but you can't get the other opinions of players that were with you. If you test a 1v1 map, so be it. At least the forger can get one other opinion on the map.

I go through the maps ALL the time, but when there isn't a picture, I just skip them. I'm sorry, but I refuse to make plans to test a person's map who does not post a picture. Because then I end up going into five different parties where guys try to test their maps, of which the spawns are all incorrect, the map itself is mediocre, and nobody will come because THEY were SMART and didn't come because there wasn't a picture. I don't need thirty pictures. One. That's it. Just one picture is all I need.

I've been screwed over WAY too many times with the noobs. They don't even show up 2/3 of the time for their OWN map. I'm not doing it anymore unless there is a picture.

Lately the only things that are being posted are by junior members, who don't post a picture, so I just say "fuck that" and skip it.

I believe the correct term is "pooned".

I often times speak without thinking. If you feel my post is derogatory please PM me.

When that is Kinda true, it would be helpful for people to post pictures, you could still atleast tell them, instead of just instantly digregarding them of any responses what-so-ever.

Although ive only been back on FH for about a week now, and just rejoined the Testers guild, this guild is much different then it used to be.

I make sigs?
Yes i do has make sigs, ask and you shall recive!

The reason I've been less active lately is because ODST came out, then me and Aaronator finished silex and I had to spend a lot of time putting the finishing touches on the map. Now that that's all said and done, I'm ready to get back to testing.

Yeah, I didn't get a single person to sign up for my Medic test, except for Obibtal, which I didn't receive. I was also away at soccer practice, so it's also my fault, but still.
