Re: FFR Compilation Pack Of Pure Awesomeness

Put everything in a one big dump of a pack, why split in 2 if they are going to be essentially the same deal?

That's my opinion at least.

Yeah, from my own experience, I find that there will always be a certain preference to one part of a pack if you try to split it up. You could try to wait a while between the two releases, but you still might get this effect, regardless of the quality of the two packs.

I'd say release as one pack so people won't skip out on the second half.

Re: FFR Compilation Pack Of Pure Awesomeness

the only issue with having one large pack is the file size in itself. unless you put everything into 1 zip/rar file, the entire planet hates downloading parts. as proven by ferrari's post, a lot of people default to downloading only the very first part and completely ignore the others. the worst is when people base opinions on a pack from that single part which is absolutely ridiculous because there's always the possibility of having files they'd personally enjoy never reaching their hard drive all because they didn't download the other parts.

another issue is that if you're actually expecting feedback from the community, no one is going to sit and play through all 100 files as proven by every modern day pack released. people get lazy, bored, and skim through random ass files until they hit a song they might like before playing it.

Re: FFR Compilation Pack Of Pure Awesomeness

i'd rather have a pack separated into 2 than have 1 large pack with 100+ files. just wait a while for the next part to be released.

sure as hell not going to sit through reviewing 100+ files of a pack. most likely not review at all

Re: FFR Compilation Pack Of Pure Awesomeness

Re: FFR Compilation Pack Of Pure Awesomeness

Finished and sent another file.

Personally, I don't care if it's split up or not. I'll be downloading everything anyway.

Re: FFR Compilation Pack Of Pure Awesomeness

Re: FFR Compilation Pack Of Pure Awesomeness

it's 543MB right now; the finished product will likely be in the neighborhood of 550-600MB depending on whether we cut songs and how many we cut.

there are good arguments for both releasing this as one pack or two. I'll have to think about it. another thing to keep in mind is that packs cause huge spikes in activity, but then there's a long period of inactivity in between releases. in addition, people might be intimidated by a 100+ file pack released in one huge burst. I honestly think that the best way to maximize impact is to release this as two packs, but space them maybe ~2 months apart like Chris said.

anyway, I'll be playing the final batch of submissions soon and judging...for the last time. *sniffles

Re: FFR Compilation Pack Of Pure Awesomeness

Can't wait to see the finished result! I hope my files are in the first release if you release it in two parts so I can know how people receive them. If not, oh well.

Re: FFR Compilation Pack Of Pure Awesomeness

regardless of what happens, I will ensure that every file in this pack gets a chance to be played
