It's nothing personal. I apologize if work was left out at all.

[QUOTE=heinous;48949622]speaking of, the cosmetic list numbers 149 when you said there are 150. glitch?[/QUOTE] A dummy item I left in the collection in order to start the collection had to be removed, bringing the count down to 149.

man, i'm not even surprised my set wasn't included.

-snip-

Well this is akward, Rolls map was late and it's included, mine wasn't. Then there's a map without the overview image that was mandatory.

also i'm surprised that super hero medic set wasn't included into this.

[QUOTE=ics;48949832]Well this is akward, Rolls map was late and it's included, mine wasn't. Then there's a map without the overview image that was mandatory.[/QUOTE] Again, as void has already pointed out, there was a quality assurance team in place. If its not included, it didnt pass the bar we set. In terms of backlot, which doesn't have the border, it was submitted before I had access to the border (long story). I've been too busy with work to update it. It will be fixed in the morning. If you are looking for feedback on your maps and submissions, I'd be more than happy to provide some for you, so that you can improve future submissions.

hey man thanks for considering my pyro alebrije design in the list!! :p

Are you saying that my map doesn't work or isn't look good enough? I've tested it with many versions on live full server every week. You are free to provide feedback on it if you want, it's on tf2maps, workshop and elsewhere too. We also tested live all of the available other halloween maps during past 2 weeks, such as Sawmill event one, that is also included in this community event. If quality assurance, even minimal was in place, it should have noticed that the map timer is broken, campping point doesn't make it go down. I notified the creator earlier about it and he is aware of it. I'm not bitter, i'm just seeing double standards but maybe thats just me.

Cmon guys, imagine being Void, carrying this project along with Retro just for sake of good old community events, and then seeing all this whining by people whose items weren't included instead of comments on doing great job with this page. That will be pretty dissapointing for him. If some of your items weren't included, then theres was a reason for it. And it wouldn't be a good collection if every single workshop item that was submitted for this halloween were included in it, so there's that too. How about instead of whining about items that weren't included we congratulate people who worked on this project with making it through all the problems they had. Great job on page! Thought I think what wouldv been cool is that if you hovered over that door, it would lighten up and if you click on it it would link you to the collection page.

that makes me feel a lot better about my collection of a [B]whopping four entire items[/B] being included, actually i wish i couldve done more but ive been so preoccupied with school.

[QUOTE=heinous;48950188]poor guys are getting some heat on reddit too for "deceiving" people into thinking this is an update. edit: and there are STILL people there who thinks this is a "leaked" update...[/QUOTE] I'm always amazed how there's always a large number of vocal gamers in online discussions that manage to immediately resort to hysterical complaints, finger-pointing and harsh accusations (i.e. you lied to us, you're greedy, you're deceiving/not being honest, you're trying to make money out of a free thing etc.) often based on uninformed opinions, /false/misleading information/gossip from others, or just flat out not reading an FAQ or failing to understand what they've just read. I really wish people actually read stuff like that carefully once or twice, or maybe politely ask others on a forum for clarification to make sure they've got all the necessary, reliable information [I]before[/I] grabbing the proverbial pitchforks and starting to bust out the heavy accusations and vitriol on people behind such projects. Kind of offtopic and perhaps stating the obvious, but dear god are there always people out there that will jump on the first chance to accuse game publishers and/or game/mod authors of harsh stuff like dishonesty, greed and deceit before making sure they even remotely know what the hell they're talking about.

The page looks freaking amazing. Happy to see my Unusual effects made the cut :) Guess Booregard didn't make quality control though?

Booregard just kinda got swept under the rug by the flood of items on the workshop and I was hoping this would help his chances.

Just because you've tested it a lot with full servers, doesn't mean it's automatically good. As I said, I will happily provide feedback for you and will do so later today. You'll find my post on TF2Maps.net when I make it. I was aware of the Sawmill issue and when the issue has been fixed, it will be included on server rotation at TF2Maps.net. (Which, the servers are going up soon, I will post here when the servers are live with the maps).

If I was Void, I'd be probably pretty sad that people suddenly start whining over everything. I personally like those things, I don't mind if something I made (I didn't make anything though) won't be there. I'd be just happy for Void to actually do something like this, for showcasing the great works of Community and showing our strengths. Eventhough yes, It's looking very official and may decieve someone but you should take that as a compliment, it only shows how well is the webpage designed.

that site looks bloody amazing, good job guys!

Looks almost official! Also quick question, has anyone gotten contacted by valve about their item yet or do they just "add it" without you know it? Im unsure how this works in case they would want to add one of my stuff, but since it's so close to halloween I assume they already picked the winners.

For the most part I think they just add it and you find out on the updates release.

[QUOTE=ethosaur;48951391]I assume they already picked the winners.[/QUOTE] With the workshop system, they could choose to add an item like an hour before the update drops.

Reminds me of the good ol' night of the living update website.

Really nice work, the paintovers give it that feeling you'd get from "old update pages" (when Valve actually bothered to paintover their models)
