Ok so now that I have figured out how my system and internet will handle video reviews I am offering them to you guys. I rather keep them just attached to this forum as I know the hard work Ashally has put in to making this happen. I also, at this time, don’t want to get bombarded with the general public. If they want a review then they can attach themselves to this forum, it gives me something to do and it helps Ashally keep a steady flow coming in. If your quest is NOT attached to this forum I will be unable to review it at this time.
The hope is once my adventure is finished on this board I will have my next one ready for review. So I will be able to keep a steady steam going through this format alone.
Why do I want to do this? I like helping people, that is the bottom line. I know how difficult it is to make something feel unique, I know how many hours go in to this stuff, and I know sometimes you get so wrapped up in your own environments that little things may fall through the cracks.
The Disclaimer: (so I don’t have to say it every video every time) …
**If you are offended by foul language, this is not for you. I do have a tendency to speak in a manner not befitting of a lady, because well I am NOT a lady. It is very possible that you will hear many words which many people may find taboo. (Sometimes strings of them together) For this reason all videos should be considered rated R.**
**Nothing I say, in any way, is meant to be offensive, so please do not take it that way. I sometimes can be very blunt and come across as a B@#CH. I have no internal filter. Please be aware of this and know that I am doing this with the up most respect for my fellow authors. By this I mean I will in no way belittle you, purposefully; however I may say something that you may see as harsh. (If you are soft)**
While going through your quest I will not be reading text out loud. You are the author you know what it says, so for story heavy quests there may be a lot of down time. However you will get honest reaction to your dialogue this way. So if you crack a joke and I don’t laugh you know I didn’t find it funny. This will also give you a since of how long reading your dialogue takes a normal player.
There are three things I will be looking at :
Story – How well it flows, your dialogue, and since of direction. I am not the best person to find grammar and spelling errors but if I do notice them I will point them out. I also touch everything, if it has something to read on it, I will read it. Also I will talk about quest objectives and puzzles.
Build – This to me is the heart of the adventure. Many find the story the heart I find the build the heart. I think it is possible to tell more with the atmosphere than words. I also have a BFA in animation and visual effects with an emphasis in game design, so I went to Uni for 5 years to be able to build and design games for the rest of my life. However I moved to Australia and the game industry here is dead. Because of this back ground, I notice little things. Here I will help you with placement, lighting, atmosphere, glitches, detailing and anything else I can find.
Combat – All adventures will be soloed on a 9500 gear score, level 60 TR. You will see the combat from my perspective. I will point out things as I notice them.
SO! If you would like me to do your review as a video review please let me know, either in these forums or in a PM. If I have already done a review for you and you would like me to go back over it in a video, I am more than happy to do so, just know that yours may get pushed back in favor of ones I have not already reviewed.
All video links will be PM’d to the author via Private message through the forums. Once you, the author have reviewed the information I have provided, you are welcome to do whatever you wish with the video, if you like I can also remove it after wards.
One last note – due to my internet being <font color="orange">HAMSTER</font> in Australia it may take longer than normal for me to upload. There for it could be a few days before your video is ready. There is nothing I can do about this.
PS. I do also have a twitch account, where I can do a live stream review. This would be the easiest and fast way to get a detailed review. However due to my time zone we would need to discuss a time that would be suitable for us both. In this format we could discuss things on the fly as well. If you would like this done please PM me and we will discuss a time to do it.

Perhaps I don't understand how this works, but a few days ago I filled out a form to have one of my quests reviewed. I never saw it on the list. Not sure why, just an FYI.

As it says on the first post, your quest won't be put on the list until you review one that's on the list.

Once you've applied, review quest from the "Review me" list
Is there any way I can modify the description of my quest? I've updated it quite a bit thanks to the awesome feedback of the reviews so far. I'd like to make it more descriptive.

@mezrella I just added a new build of my quest to include companion support and would be cool if you could run through my quest whenever you have the time. If you do get the time, try out both types of companions; support and tanks. See which ones fit your playstyle more. Thanks.

Yup. No worries man. Make sure you get it back in the spreadsheets. Ashally is getting married so the "review me" section wont be updated, but the Feedback section is auto updated, so once I see your name pop up there I will know you have done your duty :P
Do you want a video done, Live stream, Vent party run through (if on Dragon) or just detailed written review?

@ mezrella, I am not sure what duty you are talking about as my quest is already in the list. It's very easy to miss it as it's only got one review. I'd love to do a vent play but my character is on the Beholder unfortunately. If you could do a video that would be great, but anything that you feel needs to be said I don't mind a written review. I ran this quest as a 36TR with no issues, but that might be different for lvl 60's.

Your quest has fallen off of the board. You only reviewed one quest therefor you only stayed on the board for 2 days. It is 2 day per review you do. So you will need to go through the process again to get back on the board. If you want to stay on the board, then you must review other people's quests.

Did you happen to see the reply I posted to you about your review? (I also sent you a private message)
Is there any way I can update the description of my quest? Despite being third on the list I've only gotten a few reviews, and I'm thinking a better description might make it more attractive.

I don't see an entry in the form responses. I'd greatly appreciate some feedback on it. I've made some significant changes based on earlier reviews, and I'm not sure anyone has played it since.
I'm also now deep into detailing the second quest in the campaign, (one map of which is a really complicated multi-level village) so any general feedback or suggestions would be great so I can incorporate those ideas before I get too far along.
I've already reviewed The Planar Rescue, but I'll take a look at The Hands of Jorath too when I get home tonight. Thanks!

Of course! I just updated FAQ so that it contains following question:
Q: I'd like to change some informations regarding my quest, eg. comment, quest name, short code. What should I do?
A: There are 2 ways: contact me via PM or on this forum with informations regarding what would you like to change OR you can apply again. I update informations in the spreadsheet according to the informations you have posted in "I need reviews" form.
Hey man if you want me to, I am happy to go back through and see if there is anything I can spot. Up to you, I am sure you know by now I am pretty thorough (when it comes to build). Let me know

Would love some feedback on my first quest "An Undeadly Invitation" short code NW-DII4PH3ZS. Definitely not as visually stunning as some that I've seen, but I had a lot of fun making it and look forward to using what I know to make something better. It's not long, only about 20 minutes, and pretty light-hearted. Thanks!

I would love some feedback, I've been playing foundry quests to level up since I hit level 25. Most of them are more fun then the game's quest itself. This is my first quest and foundry experience, please if there is any advice tell me, but try it first. I love combat in my quests, so be prepared. I'm going to make this a long campaign, and almost finished part 2.
