@Major Arlene this guy adds people's maps for almost no reason. I made one of the greatest levels of all time, the game posting is loaded with glowing feedback in the comments, but this guy added my map to his list because with the version he tried I forgot to do a "full compile" and accidentally uploaded a "quick compile" version. He literally never played my game, he just added it his list. I pinged him and told him my map had been fixed and he should try it before he condemns my game to his 'deficiencies' list, but he never played it. He admitted he was a bad person and I would be best to move with my life on and forget that he ever existed. I'm sure your game is just swell, and the guy who makes this list is a self-described loser.

so strange to see a Portal 2 map I made like, a decade ago for shits and giggles in here (I'm also late to notice, to be fair)
a critique of your critiques - I definitely didn't get a comment from you specifying the issues with my map, which is a lot more helpful than telling all of us "map bad" and giving a big general level design lesson. it looks like you've moved on to other things but I hope that you've also actually given individual feedback along with general feedback here - otherwise this becomes less than useless for both players and level designers.

How will I ever recover : (

Oh hey, my "Escape" map made the cut lol. Yeah, going back to it now I realize that it really isn't that good, it's just another "first hammer map" that got popular. Too bad that my actually good map "Signage is Key" never got popular, though.

HCC Hammer Concepts...

damn why am I still subscribed to this thread

@Maicu Don't give him too much praise, he's still shitty critic. He put my game on here and he never even played it.

I remember you. I really don't know how to respond. I haven't had such a turn-around response like that ever from all the submissions I have commented on. Thank you.

To be fair, I gave up on the whole critic thing for Portal 2. I grew so tired of the Portal 2 Workshop in general. I've moved onto a different game now with Workshop support, and it is glorious. Check out my profile now. Maybe I'll catch you playing that game instead.

wildgoosespeeder is a real human bean and a real hero

Between 99% and 100% of the workshop is like that. However, there are at least decent maps out there, which I compiled into a list for SP and Coop, which you will find in the description.

might as well add the entire workshop while youre at it...

Wew I made it in the collection

And I have images for a Part 2 collection, thanks to RedSilencer and Stract:

@wildgoosespeeder maybe create "Maps with deficiences part 2"?

I seem to have reached a maximum capacity of 1000 individual map entries. Why is there 1033? I'm guessing Valve enforced a limit after I exceeeded the amount. I might create a new collection that is a part 2. Anyways, more maps:

Thank you for taking enermous effort in calling people out. I would also call dumb shit dumb, but have no patience and endurance for doing it so consequently.

Not too long ago, I found a new author. Check:

Lol it has always been like this boy.

there is a distinct lack of new, good workshop maps tho.

Portal 2 is dead because Valve doesnt care about the game, Portal 2 community is alive

Portal 2 is alive but on life support when the game is braindead or something. I can't think of anything better to describe the condition.

Portal 2 is not dead lol

Since Portal 2 is dead, I can't come here for good entertainment, lol. Looks like all the bullshittery is over (woot)


*whispers* although i'd feel better if u unblocked meh wildgoosespeeder.......................just for the sake of moral.....

I think all the Katz Chambers deserve to be on this list.

Tru

I do, it's their language, just taken to the extreme....
People should learn manners before speaking to someone they don't know...
After they're good friends, I guess that speech is allowed on agreement.

I think that is TreasureGhost mocking those who take me putting their maps into this collection as a personal attack or insult, kind of like someone would do in a circlejerk Subreddit.

wat

dafuq m80 m8? deed u jast putin meh mappa in ur dumb kollexion??!!! u stupid ! meh mappas bettah dan u !

SOMETHING FOR SOMEONE TO READ BEFORE COMMENTING HERE: Just suck it up, accept that this guy has found a flaw in your map and has decided to put it here. Simple, if you can't find flaws in your map, you shouldn't be mapping at all. Just let gossespeeder do what he wants, please, stop all this, this thing has 412 damn comments! Just let it go.....

(proceeds to sing)

Oh, seeing the comment history, I commented about it almost two years ago.

its called bouncy balls

I don't remember. I have played over 4000 maps.

I have read the FAQ thanks and if you woudnt mind please tell me what is wrong with the map i made instead of giving a list of like 20 things that could be wrong because that way you could be doing something usefull with your time

Don't worry about him Batcat. He failed to read my FAQ.

@preecy that's why this list is called 'deficiencies', even the greatest maps can have deficiences that make the map a little bit more tedious. Even if the map was made 'for fun', it can still have deficiencies.

Wtf Man U r so fucking stupid my level was made for fun so don't be a dickhead some of these are good levels

I'm probably late for this but I think the war is over. Now everyone can live peacefully.

Now let me rephrase that - I was talking about people being ignorant to criticism. This collection is deemed to be controversial and get hate because many disagree with the idea that every single map has to be "good" and contribute to the Workshop. But the thing is that this collection is an opinion. If ones map was added to this collection it will have no impact on the map whatsoever and you can ignore it.

Posting complains after getting your map added here is a clear sign that you do care about your creation. Why not build on the criticism you're given? And if not, ignore ones opinion. You can declare this collection pointless and hateful, but that is an opinion as much as this entire collection is.

Anyways, this comment is pointless. But here it is.

Aww, didn't know that I made it to this collection and it's been almost two years. Shame that some are blind to constructive criticism. Sad to see this gets hate. You're really doing creators a favor and shame that I failed to stumble upon the collection back when I completely sucked.

Thats good to hear. I probably wouldve blocked him earlier. XD Except.........he invited me as a friend.......he says.......welll........to tell you (this is copy pasted) : youre saying that gimzie's and mine commentary got out of hand. Gimzie and i were never in on this together!

I kinda agrree. But anyway....no messanger forever...so dont tell me to tell him something!

XD

I'm not perfect. I have sometimes handled things the wrong way. Can't change the past but I can make corrections caused by past behaviors and results to make things right.

As for MADEYE06 and Gimzie, even though I said I wouldn't, I did end up blocking them. Their spam has been getting out of control. I haven't blocked TS_Mind_Swept because at least he has some self-control with his commentary.

Wait, spot on? In saying YOUR mistakes here? Well.....that takes a good person......

Oh, ok. Well, moving forward... What about madeye? Has he stopped? And again, i would love some help from you in the coming times, you seem to know what your doing.. ;)

Clarification: I initially denied TS_Mind_Swept's claims because he was hiding something I had no access to anymore and vise-versa with my stuff (stuff flagged as "friends-only" and we are no longer Steam friends so no more access). Also we were talking about two different workshop entries which made things worse than it should have been. I have since moved on when I commented that stuff a long time ago he mentioned but he continues to hold a grudge against me or find ways to vilify me.

Everything else is spot on.

However, reading down, you seem to group madeye and gimzie together. Gimzie is leaving crap passive aggressive commentary, like saying youre a big troll. Therefor you said gimzie AND MADEYE are 12 because of that statement. Madeye is giving MOSTLY decent words. However, you say madeye says he will leave but never does. He never says he will leave.... It looks like he levt now though.

As for your issues with TS_Mind_Swept, that has made me distrust you. You denied something, proof emerged, you got frinicky and gave 3000 explinations. Im doing all this because I plan to enter the portal 2 workshop with some ground on how it works and how to get help. You seem mostly nice. Except the statements above....

As for you Avscacha23, nope.......just nope..........

Didnt know portal 2 mattered this much....peace out......

Hmmm. Ive never seen this collection before. I must say though, I dont quite think its right, but I also dont think its wrong. I also see several morons here just pestering you cause they think its
wrong. I may as well list my opinions since my maps are here. First off, its not a bad idea to have this because a DONT DO THIS for things are always good. It helps most of the time. However I dont think youre presenting it right, I mean "this collection is here to showcase bad level design" sounds really harsh. Thatll piss off alot of folks.

Wildgoosespeeder, I belive ive encountered you before. At that time I was new to the portal 2 workshop and acted wrongly against your critism. Ive not been doing much at all since then. I pretty much shut down my steam. I may make more maps. And would appreciate your critism.

Well...........

My thoughts......

I don't diss other strangers. Are you referring to DeathWish808? We are Steam friends. You're nuts to believe that I was insulting him.

I have played almost 3000 maps and I said that your map "looks like a lot of the puzzles are going to be tedious to complete". Quite different than declaring that they are tedious to complete. Novelty-sake, I've played maps that try to be novel instead of puzzling. I don't think they are that compelling as the creators hope them to be.

I see a lot of people react wrongly to criticism and get so butthurt over it. Rarely do I come across friendly individuals. By the looks of comments right now, I think you are starting to head that direction. Chill. Not the end of the world if one person appears to be an asshole. You can walk away and forget that I even exist. That might be the best move and I wouldn't judge you for that.

Here's how it looks from my perspective.

3-12: Finally publish game after 2 years of hard work. Extremely proud.

3-16: Map appears on stranger WGS's list of "bad level design."

3-18: I leave a message asking why, and inviting WGS to try it and leave me feedback.

3-18: WGS appears on my page, disses another stranger who left me a nice comment. Leaves painful negative feedback, doesn't play through. A "map for novelty-sake." The "puzzles are going to be tedious to complete."

3-18: WGS says on his own page "I hope you don't take my collection as a personal insult."

Year 2032: My map is still on this stranger's list until the end of the internet.

I really respect your work, and I want to like you, but so far you seem like a king asshole. I honestly welcome negative feedback about my work. If you try it and hate it, let my map rot on your list forever. As long as it's here and you haven't played it, then I definitely take your collection as a personal insult.
