I Hate This Pack!
It got 4 out of 5 for ratings and I thought it was a good pack so I loaded it up then it's so.. crap! Obviously, it just got 3.5 out 5 rated by staff review. Instead, it was rated by it's own author! I'll not loads a pack without viewing the details first. This pack must be RIP!!! :tinfoil: Worthless pack.. sucks..


Here's the pack:

Yeah! That pack has a bad .exe installation also. I've loaded it up yet it was crap! Sure somebody would RIP this shit.. :)

Seems like he boosted his own ratings, that's a bit of a bad sportmanship, but what can you do? Well you could report the abuse of the rating system and had a higher authority to take care of it.

Well, actually most people will at least glance at the comments and not only dl something by the number of stars alone (or am i really that naive?) And from the comments i find it quite obvious that it's not worth five stars.

It got 2.5 out of 5, foo. And I was feeling far more generous than usual.

And I'm pretty sure it's not a rip.

Heh... I'm so cruel.

No cruel is +201-300% enhanced damage on a weapon.






Been playing D2 too much...

What's D2? A game?


4th February 2006 18:08 UTC

Diablo 2 with the expansion pack "Lord of Destruction".

4th February 2006 20:01 UTC

Err, what are you doing here ?

Thanks. I was going to pm you or Wally with that (for some odd reason, I don't seem to be able to kill reviews).:up:

/have to wait and see if my removals actually work...

4th February 2006 20:19 UTC

gah gave a 5 star rating by accident...


4th February 2006 20:22 UTC

You just HAVE to do what Pak does first, don't you :p.


4th February 2006 21:04 UTC

Hmm, I rated it 1 star but it showed up as 5


4th February 2006 21:20 UTC

Excuses excuses....


4th February 2006 21:54 UTC

yea you're right, I secretly love the pack


4th February 2006 22:35 UTC

I knew the subtle ingenuity of the interplay between the Render/Simple and the Oscilloscope has lured you under its intoxicating spell.


4th February 2006 23:30 UTC

Or maybe PAK secretly has a fetish for n00b-presets and usually just tries to hide that?!? :p


5th February 2006 00:18 UTC

My darkest secret, revealed!1


5th February 2006 00:51 UTC

You pervert! It's true. This pack is indeed ass. I think it might be a concept pack that the author decided to post on the site, which is usually not a good idea. I made schmidtloads of these presetes back in the day, when I was just screwing around with the effects and everything. I remember. The first preset that I cracked open for exploration was Pina Colada by Tugg himself. I messed with it for ten minutes and actually discovered things, like how to change the colors. We all have literally hundreds of these proof of concept presets lying around somewhere. I think that this might indeed be a set of them.

As far as giving himself a 5 rating, that's just bad sportmanship. One does no rate one's own packs.

I expect him to come down soon. Ready the auto-n00b-response-cannon!!!


5th February 2006 01:06 UTC

I am awesome.


5th February 2006 05:24 UTC

It'll be fun, soon... :P

There also seems to be a couple of repetive reviews on my pack, not that i complain since they are all 5 star ratings, just to let you know if you want to take care of that sort of thing.

Your pack is great :up:, it deserves the repetive reviews.

5th February 2006 15:30 UTC

Not a double standard then? OK.


5th February 2006 15:31 UTC

this is why I never go to the presets site anymore; got burned too many times. Lots better here on the forum.


5th February 2006 16:29 UTC

Presets site ?

Got burned ? By whom ?


5th February 2006 19:27 UTC

Someone been confusing tug with mohammed again?
