this'll be updated and emailed to help@wegame.com any duplicate issues should be sent individually.

I.e. if you see it in the first post, it has already been emailed.

I'm impatient so I sent it out.

The Users of Wegame, are the most important part, without users Wegame is worthless as Angelfire. As the users, we know that it is difficult as a startup company, but we have faith in Wegame, we love Wegame more than Jared loves Wegame, and because we love it, we humbly request the following features:

a more useful notification other than a green box, perhaps something that could display the frames per second?
a more common form of encoding so that people can load videos recorded in common editors like windows movie maker and sony vegas
a third quality option in watching videos inbetween high and low quality (something more along the lines of youtubes high quality)
Please continue client support, many users have issues and it seems that many of them are left out in the cold, if the support is satisfactory, please let other users see it, or understand that these issues are being taken care of
please also stop deleting cosplay or art that is sexual in nature unless there is no argument that it is indeed pornography, many of the photos that have been big on this website are sexual in nature and have helped to put wegame on the map (over 2k diggs sure helps). Besides that many video game characters are naturally scantily clad, many major games include this artwork as canon! sexuality in video games and the success of wegame are just as important as headshots, melee kills, and rocket jumping videos. I can find you hundreds of OFFICIAL pictures of Cammy and Chun-li straight from Capcom where each of them are wearing quiet a bit less clothing than your average porn star wears out. Hell With that said Cammy's fighting outfit is a one piece thong bikini. So if you're going to start limiting provacative imagery you may as well remove every game that has a female in it, particularly fighting games as they tend to wear the least amount of clothing.

Let us view more than 100 pages of screenshots and movies. I know many users can't see all of their screenshots without having to directly search for image names. I don't see a good reason for it to be limited anyway.

please change the upload system. Naming screenshots AFTER uploading has caused me more problems than anything on this site. My suggestion for this is to make uploading videos and screenshots work the way it does on the client. You name, label and describe said video or screenshot, THEN you press an upload button.

Game listings.
WeGame has been doing a better job at updating the games list, but it still could be better. Games like World in Conflict and even Tetris and Super Mario Bros. still don't have a listing. One idea to make the game tagging system better is to, instead of having individual games, have series of games instead. So instead of having 20 different sections for Final Fantasy games, there would just be one for the entire Final Fantasy series.

Also, it would be nice if the WeGame client supported more games at a faster rate.

Oh, and also, being able to upload more than one video at a time and more than 20 screenshots at a time would be a great change. And being able to batch name screenshots would be great. I can't think up of a unique title for every screenshot, so I usually just copy and paste the same title into every field. It would be a lot more convenient if I could just put my title in one field and it would auto-complete the title field of every screenshot in my upload batch (which I hope is over 20!).

I'd also like to be able to batch edit screenshots.

can we please get the cropping feature actually working? as it is, it is broken.

I will continually e-mail this letter until there is an official answer posted for all users to see. I will also amend this e-mail as necessary.



_________________________________________________________________________________
a Response!

As you have probably already realized, WeGame is very oriented around delivering what users want. That said, we're a very small team and not all requests can be answered. Therefore we do our best to prioritize requests and deliver on what we can.

-a more useful notification other than a green box, perhaps something

that could display the frames per second?
+Look for something like this in the future.

-a more common form of encoding so that people can load videos recorded

in common editors like windows movie maker and sony vegas
+WeGame uses the Motion JPeg codec, which is the same is as used by most digital cameras to record video. Users experiencing problems with Windows Movie Maker or Sony Vegas should attempt to reinstall the codec or research compatibility options in the video editor of their choice.

-a third quality option in watching videos inbetween high and low

quality (something more along the lines of youtubes high quality)
+We probably won't be seeing this. Each quality version of the video means more hosting space and more cost.

-Please continue client support, many users have issues and it seems

that many of them are left out in the cold, if the support is
satisfactory, please let other users see it, or understand that these
issues are being taken care of
+I'm pretty sure we release a client update every 6 weeks at the minimum. I think that's pretty good.

-please also stop deleting cosplay or art that is sexual in nature

unless there is no argument that it is indeed pornography, many of the
photos that have been big on this website are sexual in nature and
have helped to put wegame on the map (over 2k diggs sure helps).
Besides that many video game characters are naturally scantily clad,
many major games include this artwork as canon! sexuality in video
games and the success of wegame are just as important as headshots,
melee kills, and rocket jumping videos. I can find you hundreds of
OFFICIAL pictures of Cammy and Chun-li straight from Capcom where each
of them are wearing quiet a bit less clothing than your average porn
star wears out. Hell With that said Cammy's fighting outfit is a one
piece thong bikini. So if you're going to start limiting provacative
imagery you may as well remove every game that has a female in it,
particularly fighting games as they tend to wear the least amount of
clothing.
+I may be a prude but I delete anything more graphic than could be shown on American basic cable, and sometimes I'm even more generous than that (For example I leave the cosplay deviants stuff that Weclock uploads alone).

-Let us view more than 100 pages of screenshots and movies. I know many

users can't see all of their screenshots without having to directly
search for image names. I don't see a good reason for it to be limited
anyway.
+This may be fixed in the future, but how many people do you know that want to browse through over 800 screenshots?

-please change the upload system. Naming screenshots AFTER uploading

has caused me more problems than anything on this site. My suggestion
for this is to make uploading videos and screenshots work the way it
does on the client. You name, label and describe said video or
screenshot, THEN you press an upload button.
+It works this way to accommodate the automatic upload option, which is the more popular of the two. It may change in the future, but it's low priority.


Game listings.
-WeGame has been doing a better job at updating the games list, but it
still could be better. Games like World in Conflict and even Tetris
and Super Mario Bros. still don't have a listing. One idea to make the
game tagging system better is to, instead of having individual games,
have series of games instead. So instead of having 20 different
sections for Final Fantasy games, there would just be one for the
entire Final Fantasy series.
+This isn't going to change, unfortunately. The system was designed this way for a specific reason.

-Also, it would be nice if the WeGame client supported more games at a
faster rate.
+Agreed! We'll be kicking up our game support in the near future.

-Oh, and also, being able to upload more than one video at a time and

more than 20 screenshots at a time would be a great change. And being
able to batch name screenshots would be great. I can't think up of a
unique title for every screenshot, so I usually just copy and paste
the same title into every field. It would be a lot more convenient if
I could just put my title in one field and it would auto-complete the
title field of every screenshot in my upload batch (which I hope is
over 20!).
+As was pointed out, uploading more than one video at a time is a huge stress on your bandwidth. We may increase the number of concurrent screenshot uploads.

-I'd also like to be able to batch edit screenshots.
Unfortunately this isn't a very reasonable request. How would you select the screenshots to batch edit? That means we'd have to design at least two pages to satisfy a very small number of users. This would be an extremely low-priority feature.

-can we please get the cropping feature actually working? as it is, it is broken.
This is a feature which we definitely want to get working again, but has fallen prey to priorities. It will be fixed in the future.

Instead of a useless green box wegame should show fps

For some reason sony vegas and windows movies crash when I open files so maybe wegame should change the encoding.

It should not just have High and low quality it should have a medium too

*disclaimer*
I am in no way bashing wegame, these are merely suggestions to be taken as such. Wegame is a great site and tool, but it could be much better with some simple changes.


First and foremost the client. It's what this site is built around and I'm afraid it's being forgotten. it needs serious work.

Stop deleting Cosplay, and game art unless it's porn or shows nudity. I can find you hundreds of OFFICIAL pictures of Cammy and Chun-li straight from Capcom where each of them are wearing quiet a bit less clothing than your average porn star wears out. Hell With that said Cammy's fighting outfit is a one piece thong bikini. So if you're going to start limiting provacative imagery you may as well remove every game that has a female in it, particularly fighting games as they tend to wear the least amount of clothing.

Official Namco Art of Ivy from Soul Calibur. Need I say more on the subject?


Let us view more than 100 pages of screenshots and movies. I know myself and weclock in particular can't see all of our screenshots without having to directly search for image names. I don't see a good reason for it to be limited anyway.

Change the godforsaken manual upload system. Naming screenshots AFTER uploading has caused me more problems than anything on this site. In example I tried to upload about 15 Fallout 3 screenshots yesterday. TWO of them uploaded correctly, and i had to redo others. I kept getting that damn squirrel page when i would press submit. My suggestion for this is to make uploading videos and screenshots work the way it does on the client. You name, label and describe said video or screenshot, THEN you press an upload button.

These are what i see as major issues with the site that would make it's usage 100% better if they were addressed.

Search for forums.

More staff videos - I don't even watch the Weekly Review anymore because I'm just expecting more of the same. Bald jokes were funny in the first 5 episodes, and we're up to what, episode 60 something now?

For anyone who answers him with you can upload multiple videos with multiple pages. Have you ever tried that? Have you ever see how much it destroys your internet until it's finished? Not to mention it makes them take longer than if they were uploaded individually from a queued upload system. (see google gears multiple video uploader on youtube for a great example of how to do that correctly).

I will work on emailing these tonight, you may also want to send an e-mail into support. the more it's asked, certainly the more likely it is they'll at least hear us, whether or not they listen is another story.

I know this is commonly suggested but:
Make a wegame video editor. Try and encode it so you can make basic machinima and put together a variety of clips.

Also if you could make an ingame web browser like xfire and ingame chatrooms then I wouldn't have to use xfire client anymore.


Thanks for this beautiful siggy Blubo! =D

I think Wegame should improve on there users!!

They should have a test or something because they are all stupid! I hate you all! Go die in a fire! They should have a test that you must get like 80% or more on and than you become WeGame certified. And you get a big "I Am Special" sticker right bellow your avatar.

Can we please get this damned cropping feature on the editing page to work properly.
I once sat there for 7 minutes trying to get it to work and then it all just gives me the Squirrel page.
I feel NOW is the best time to protect the names of the innocents in my screens.

This man can outsmart any opponent:
