NG level images are so shit nowaday

1,831 Views | 25 Replies

Back in the day, 10 years ago, when I was 13 year old retard, NG level images used to be so cool, and big, and everything, that it actually made one want to grind the deposits in order to level up.

Needless to say, I haven't deposited/leveled up in years.

Constructive complaint, I rate this thread 9/11.

Dude, you signed up on 2015, I signed up initially on 2003 and then got my 1st account banned after 2 years. I remember the day and the feeling, the terror and disbelief were out of proportion.

To compare a 5 year old telling you sternly that he's FIVE AND A HALF, my first account is from January 2014.

I still don't know what you want me to do with this complaint.

He doesn't know the pre-redesign struggle.

It used to take years just to get to Level 10.

To OP concerning the old level icons- the only shitty thing about the level system back then was Pimp throwing the xp curve. Besides that... In a strange way I kinda have to agree with you.

Although the 60 level icons of today are very well drawn, beautiful even, the old icons just kinda fit Newground's style more. Idk why, I could NOT explain that to you if I tried, it's an argument of synesthesia/qualia.

fucking wall-of-text, man, learn to use spaces if you're going to type that much. What does "tldr" mean? I assume that means you agree with me. Also I could not read all of that.

I agree though.

Ever since the redesign where they got rid of the bigger weapon icons...I've found myself completely unmotivated to vote daily. Because of that, I haven't reviewed, played, or watched much since then.

Perhaps it aligned with a shift in priorities for me at the same time. Maybe its because of my age, and I don't have the time I used to. It could be any number of things.

But on-topic? I feel ya, OP. I miss those icons too. I miss that art.

I miss my gauntlet, wasn't the level 24 the yellowish one with brown leather straps? It looked nice.

As for the older icons, I miss them a lot, they almost meant something, these new icons are lame, small and just look boring. But we have discussed this many times by now.

Hopefully the next re-design, if it ever happens, will return the older icons.

The 2007 one's were pretty badass especially level 58-60

The 2000-2006 were pretty bad to be honest..they were just fists.

My sympathies to you.

But I do believe this milk has been spilled for quite some time.

Response to NG level images are so shit nowaday 2015-09-17 08:41:47


I agree with you. In fact, I still miss the layout used 2007-2012.

What does throwing the XP curve mean? I have noticed that certain people have XP with the last digit not being a zero, what is up with that?

Also why did the icons change?


You haven't seen me yet.

Change was necessary because every time Pimp deposited, the xp requirement for all of the levels rose as well. levels 1-9 all had something like 50 points between them, and then level 10 required a jump from (and this is an estimate based on memory) 450xp -1,410 experience. 10 to 11 was something like 1410 to 2800, and it kept getting worse the more Pimp deposited, so something had to be done.
Honestly the system we have now is great, it increases by about 20 each level and that's more than fair, but I wouldn't mind another change in icons just to make things interesting again.


Some of them look great and some look horrible.

The 2007 level icons were the best though.

I hope they come up with bigger or more customizable level icons for the 2017 redesign.

At least the current levels lets you wield the awesome power of the Krull Glaive at Level 42.

10 years ago I was already fucking.

I think that's part of why I don't get along with most of you. Your balls are lodged in your abdomens like ovaries.

It's truly fucking pathetic if you think that being a nymphomaniac makes you somehow superior to other people.

Git gud.

The '07 redesign was my favorite. Everything seemed so neat and orderly with just the weapon ranks, almost military. Or kind of like you were playing one of those early internet games that were entirely numbers driven and had zero graphics. Personalized user icons are dookie.
