 |  Subject: A Website Project About DotA Suggestion | |
| Hello ! First, sorry for my english and the apearence of this thread.
The goal is simple to understand : it will be a website where you can put your dota suggestions, like in the suggestion forums. You can search for suggestions made by others, vote for the bests, comment, etc. You can access your workshop which is kinda your profile page, where every of your suggestions are hightlighted. You gain levels by your activity and everyweek, the best suggestion is hightlighted to the main page of the website. You can easely share with your friends your suggestions pages and upload any when you want.
This website, if exists, will become very famous because there are many people who like making and discussing about suggestions. It will basically work like Steam Workshop.
Visibilty, possibility to be elected as the Suggestion of the Week/Month/Year (different prizes), discussions and comments, debats, badges, a clear presentation, possibility to participate to different a monthly/weekly contests, maybe rewards like Dota2 items, etc...
Q : why are you so sure peoples will use your site?
A : I make some market analysis before. Take a look a the Steam Workshop, senscritique.com, Tumblr, IMGur, yahoo answer, REDDIT, all 'badge social gaming based rewards app' on phone and pc, etc etc etc (not all in head).
The goal is not really to suggest things to Icefrog, but the activity itself of discussiong about and making suggestion, voting for the best of its catgory, etc. The best suggestion will got high visibility trough the web, so I'm sure Icefrog will see them anyway.
The website will have to try answering all of these questions :
- QUESTIONS:
- Will this have icefrog active on the site? because it won't work unless icefrog is active on the site or atleast someone who knows what he wants and doesn't want.
- Also will this have a good chance of getting in dota? Noone will want to go to the site if their ideas won't get into dota.
- Also a dedicated team of artists who will bring ideas to life visually for the conceptualizers?
one of the biggest problems with playdota suggestions is we steal from hiveworkshop or the internet. an ideal site would have artists who are willing to construct ideas visually for heroes.
- Will it have a dedicated space for creation guides and classes in the form of videos, real time chat (Where people can see what happened in the class after it was done), blog form?
- Not everyone will want to do just creations other avenues will need to explored.
- Will we the option to start groups or guilds? This option is for people who might want to do art for a suggestion or provide an ability when someone is stuck or literature
- Will we have professional writers in the site? people who can teach story writing and grammar or provide a professional story if needed.
- Will we be able to win cash for some contests instead of items? Winning cash and a chance to have an suggestion implemented would bring alot of people to the site.
- Will proffessional contests be held at this site? For example will you have invidia, raidcall or join dota give prizes for hero creation?
- Will you be able to start teams? Teams is different from guilds... A team is more like a group of people who come up with ideas where as a guild or group is more like people who specialize in some area of hero creation and can be contacted for if their services are needed
- Will their be a way to contact people? with school we have a service that gives an automatic email or a text when your teacher gives a grade or a comment and tells you to check the site.
- What will be the system in place to have your voice heard? The old dota-allstars system sucked the new playdota one is just as bad.
A : also reviewing would need to be a bigger part of the forums then in playdota, thats a major problem in playdota. Everyone wants to be heard but noone wants to listen.
So points need to be given for reviewing.
Q : I have some ideas, like Karma when you review : the more you review, the more you earn points, points make you able to post new suggestions.
