Pds314 Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 Recently (since the forum update or so), I've been noticing a whole bunch of challenges that look like they were made by someone who never once read the submission guidelines or even put much thought into what other players would've already done or could do. Are the forums rapidly growing or what? F.E. Make a 1000-part spaceplane! or Crash two planes in mid-air! With little or no further explanation. Why are these sorts of things getting posted more than usual? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 15, 2015 Share Posted December 15, 2015 [Not an Attempt] While these challenges pop up every once in a while, they usually don't get much attention, being forgotten in the "Second Page of Death". Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Superfluous J Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I don't think it has anything to do with the forums. We're in the doldrums between versions and people are just getting bored. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Now, thanks to a combination of other games and a few things currently taking up a lot of my thoughts at the moment, I only really think about it when I'm on the forums.

Kokanee Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Or maybe it's because KSP is TOO popular now. Before, it was only your hardcore space nerd who knew about KSP. Now every truck driving heehaw seems to play it. Newer players are watering down the gene pool so to speak. Death to the newcomers! Protect KSC!

Caithloki Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I agree, I have been wanting to do more challenge videos, but with all these challenges that have been cropping up, most not worth the trouble, I have decided to wait till new year to do more.

GoSlash27 Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I think it's just a result of new players wanting to participate in the community. Nothing wrong with that. Good challenges get participation and bad challenges get quickly forgotten. Best, -Slashy Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SpaceplaneAddict Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 I'm hoping the Dres Awareness thread isn't in that. Also, lemme bounce an idea off you people. What would you guys think of a new Better Stock Craft challenge, with our new parts? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dres Awareness is something that needed to be done, yet nobody cared enough to try. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Superfluous J Posted December 16, 2015 Share Posted December 16, 2015 Wait, Dres Awareness was a challenge? I thought it was just a "hey, don't forget Dres" thread. *goes to check it out* Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm in the process of a Dres Mission. Although it's probably mediocre at best... Anyhow, I'm definitely giving it a try.
