It was a close shave, but UNHALLOWED GRAVE took the cake in the final fight against Vaults of Madness and the super-secret final boss to be crowned ESO'S BEST OVERALL DUNGEON! Hooray! Huzzah! And so on!

As always, this feedback thread is to discuss the ins and outs of how the competition was run: what you liked, what you didn't like, what you'd like to see stay the same in the future, what you'd like changed. Also as always, this thread isn't meant to be a place for sore winning OR sore losing; it's just a feedback thread.

HOWEVER, given certain comments in certain polls this time around, I'm also adding in a feedback poll, so I can get a sense of where to go from here vis-a-vis the forum competitions. Any and all feedback is appreciated!

    I enjoy the competitions. It's a nice respite from all the negativity and complaining. I'm not saying that people's complaints aren't valid.......just that it's nice to have lighter-side posts.

    Do whatever you want. Keep in mind that there are others around you tho.
    Some people get offended when they are told sonething like this.

    In the end some people take into consideration that they are ONE part of a whole and make small sacrifices.
    Others dont. There is no reasoning with them.

    Just reduce the overall number of polls per competition, you spread the voting options out too much.

    So like, instead of having a lot of 1v1 polls, maybe have consistent 3- or 4-way polls so there's less polls overall?

    I know there was some negative feedback from posters in the last round. That may just be chalked up to difference of opinions and preferences, but it’s just as likely to be that people’s patience and generosity is pretty much depleted after so many weeks of near social isolation. I’m seeing it on nearly every site I’m a member of, not just this one.

    At any rate I think the polls are great. They inspire conversation about content and lore, and they’re a fantastic break from the performance complaints and nerf requests/rage, and pve vs. pvp sniping that usually fill the front page. And yes, I’m angry about performance and other things and I participate in those threads, so I, not co,img from a “holier than thou” place when I say that I appreciate that your polls are a welcome change of pace.

    One piece of feedback I will give is to extend the polling period for each round. Maybe 3 full days instead of 2. It will give people more time to participate in the discussion and reduce the perception of spamming threads that some people have alleged.

    Well, as more or less activate participant of this polls, I think that going with 2-options poll made them a little bit too predictable in outcome. Now it's probably too late, since there is nothing to vote on anymore :D but if future polls will appear, 4-options polls (with 2 winners) maybe more interesting and engaging.

    So. Much. Threadspam.

    Not just the poll threads, but also discussion thread before and now this one afterwards.

    Should've been ten per poll, and the top two or three gets thrown into the next "round".

    I absolutely love these competitions, they are like a breath of fresh air.
    As for the number of threads I don't see how they can be a problem as they tend to leave first page shamefully fast.

    Thank you everyone for the feedback; I'll be working on creating another contest in the near future, albeit one with polls that last more than two days and contain more than two fighters. Keep being awesome, you guys!
