I won't say the winners didn't deserve their victory. Their pictures were truly breathtaking. I just don't think pictures, especially some of the pictures taken in the middle of the contest got much love, due to most people not taking the time to go through all 190 submissions. (Starting at the bottom and working their way up, or starting at the top and working their way down)

I think the devs should just be the judges, not the community.

Also CC skin for 300 lifetime on patreon. bioheart

While there is weakness in everyone likely not being able to vote on all of the submissions, i feel like leaving it to the devs only without giving community input kind of defies the concept of a community contest.
i could see it if the screenshots were used for a purpose like they were looking for screenshots for the store page and not any bio key rewards. just some cool screenshots.
I feel like the community should be involved in some way - either the community votes on the top 10 picked by staff/devs or vice versa (aka what was done here). omitting the community entirely feels like a bandaid fix when i feel like better solutions could be available

I kinda understand what Zhung meant because ppl mostly voted for what they saw first because they either didnt want to scroll or dont have the time. So its like- no one has the same chances and others have/had highet chances. I think it would be better when the staff first votes and then picks the top 10 and then let the players vote but even then it might be that ppl ran to their friends/accounts or something like that and say: ayo vote for me. I like the ideas of Atomix but however its hard to do fair votings the way the community freaks out about the prices :/ By that I dont wanna say ppl are greedy! Its just human nature

I am a bit rattled how they had 52 pics... Came out about why they did this And it still came to the ones that had the most votes.... Being the winners. I'm just mixed cause I do believe how they won is fair just going to the community who didn't bother actually taking the time to vote to look at the others that were missing the spotlight.... I just don't think this event was organized as much as they thought SOScryforhelp

#

But it is too late now. I do hope they work on this, would be nice to have a bit less chaos

There's too many suggestions on this topic for me to upvote as don't agree with all points made.

Like- nothings against any of the devs but if they VOTE from the 52 best pics theat had at least 50 votes why fo they still pick those who got the most votes? Like why did even include the other pics?

Fr. Even some of the people (mostly one person) getting the most votes were like trying to get people to look at the rest and vote

#

I was hoping for someone above to win but no.

#

And yeah no hate to the admins or devs. I already made a suggestion on what they could do better with future giveaways.

Oh I see but yea its hard to include the community with fair rules so everyone has the same chances. In that case there sadly werent any

rich hinge
#

Yeah. I just think it was a lot with 900+ screenshots to look through as well. Why I was confused and already knew what was gonna happen when they started with community voting instead of picking and shortening the votes so it can be seen by everyone

deep zephyr
#

Yeah all the ones with high votes were the ones at end

The whole point of the CC skin is meant for the content creators to give away, not something easily able to come by kinda like KS now

I'm not mad or anything but I wish there was more uniqueness in the entries with 70% of screenshots being taken at the island and nothing else. I really liked the 3rd place winner, there was some story being told, meanwhile everyone else just having their dragons fly around island at night to win.

Although that 1st winner screenshot is absolutely beautiful, it’s background worthy ngl

CC is a pearl, and I don't think dropping 300 dollars on a game is easy
