That sounds... dangerous... Is it the snake inside that's talking? That little brown jumpy thing? :)


I've sent my xls file. Though I think I was a bit harsh.

@theLuckyDragon

I've got your ratings. They were not the most harsh answers I've got ;)

Thanks. Multumesc.

@ Crusard

Thanks for the ratings. It had some minor problems though. The rating was done on a scale 0 to 4. Anyway, it doesn't modify the overall ratings too much.

@ Everybody

I NEED MUCH MORE PEOPLE !

I will do it soon, but now I need much more people. You cannot create good statistics with 10 or less votes. :(

I'm not 100% sure I gave same minimaps of different versions the same rating, but I should have done in 9/10 cases.
I'm back!!!

I have 22 valid ratings now, and it is unlikely that this number will increase significantly. In 24 hours, I will make the final calculations. It isn't worth waiting more days and for a few more participants. I am not completely satisfied with the amount of feedback. :disagree:

It will help you that I do not believe in minimaps at all?

...they are saying nothing to me now, as I was many times disappointed when minmap looks good and map do not. Brief description is what I'm looking for...

The statistics are reflecting your opinion too. I've got some votes with picture maps having very low ratings. This were not the majority though.
This test does not analyze the relation of minimap quality and map quality! It analyzes the relation of minimap quality and map downloads, and how the majority of players behaves. This is what statistics is all about.

So I'm voting for better minmaps whose will reflect the map qulaities. Which will cause less errors when you wish to pick the good map. Dislike the idea of testing rats... and don't need it, sorry :devil:

Sorry, if I had sounds so harsh. Anyway for me it's pointless (rating the minimaps). What are you planning to do with your results? Here is, here is nothing.... for what they may be good.

I had already explained it. I am analysing the effect of minimap looks on the map downloads.

That's not enough. :hoo: I know how that works, no need for any other analysis. (at least for me)

Code: Select all

Pretty image = more downloads
