Suggestion Box

    I dont know about that. Builds with 150+ likes are still pretty rare, too rare to warrant a new rank dedicated to them. Meanwhile Legendary still remains a very tough rank to get a build into. Raising the cap on bloodworks is an interesting idea I dont think any of us had considered. Might be something worth discussing among the hosts in time. I'd like to see how the latest changes to the group affect the movement of builds through the ranks before we think about adjusting bloodworks.

    Curse already responded but I'd like to add my two cents as well.

    The possibility of creating a rank past Legendary has been brought up before among the CB host and has been shot down for a variety of reasons.

    • While we do have builds with 300+ likes, they are a scant minority of Legendary, hardly enough for a good-sized rank. Really, a rank like that may as well be the Mason/Ponty/No snake aLive club, because pretty much all the builds in them would be theirs.
    • At the end of the day, we want it to be challenging, yet possible, to reach the top. Making an even higher rank after Legendary would basically tell builders that they have little to no chance of reaching the top. Keep in mind the even the most-liked builds took several years to reach where they are in terms of likes.
    • 100 likes hardly looks like a joke nowadays. If anything, it's even more daunting than before considering how hard it is for high-quality builds to get likes (e.g. the Dark Sovereign).
    • 100 is a great milestone for anything because that's when you finally hit triple digits. I think that makes it all the more fitting for the highest rank. Admittedly, this is a pretty minor reason.

    Regarding scaling Bloodworks, Recognized, and Exemplar, like I said, it's harder for builds to get likes nowadays, so personally, I'm fine with where they're at. It's okay if a mediocre build makes it into Recognized, we're only looking to delete the bad ones.

    UPDATE: It's been brought to our attention that some members of the CB Group think that the Suggestion Box is a place where all you do is drop a small idea and you get a single response from a host. Given the box's description, I can't blame them for think so. For that reason, we have updated the Suggestion Box description to clarify our position. This is a place where you can give us feedback of any sort, and we can and will have extended discussions about a suggested idea if necessary.

    This may have been mentioned before, but since we have a "shouts" tag, it might be a good idea to have a "no shouts" tag. A simple suggestion, but it could be quite helpful if somebody is looking for a playthrough where they're not the Dragonborn.

    I think it was proposed before, actually. I suppose the question is whether or not there are enough non-Dragonborn builds to warrant such a tag.

    I am noticing a dramatic increase in how often builds get liked ever since we implemented sweeping changes to the group. But the fact remains that legendary is an exceedingly difficult rank to reach. I can't remember a time when it was easy to get there.

    Hey guys, I have a suggestion for the next character building event that would fit very much into the site's recent changes. I'm thinking of a cross-groups character building event taking place at the same time in the Skyrim and Fallout groups. The theme of the event would be Crossworlds, but with a few restrictions: all Skyrim players need to make character builds inspired from already existing Fallout characters and vice-versa. In addition, if a builder has already played both Fallout and any Elder Scrolls games, he or she can make a Skyrim build inspired from the character he or she played in any of the Fallout games and vice-versa.

    I wonder what the Dragonborn would look like in Fallout.

    Moh, why not step it up a tad and turn it into a Crossover of all the Character Building Groups? Fallout, Mass Effect, Skyrim and Classics all making characters based off of each other.
