Questions about player rating.

[Semler]

I made a Fire Farm and I'm having fun running folks thru it.  At the end, I will ask them to please rate the farm.

Some of them say they never get the option to rate the farm, including ones that never been on that farm before.  Is that normal? How does that work?

 

 

Also, as the creator, can I go back and see how its been rated and the comments made?  I just see the average star rating and a (#) next to it.  Is that how many have rated it?

I have noted that sometimes the rating screen does not come up.  Usually it's because the contact was talked to by the lead before I finished zoning out of the mission into pocket D

So I should wait for everyone to exit the map before I talk to contact?  I'll give it a try.

 

 

Edit:  I think yo may be right on this, after a few more runs today, I waited and now I'm getting more feedback's.

Yeah, talking to the the contact before the team exits prevents those team members from rating the arc.  But the number next to the star is the number of ratings.

I thought that "how to read past comments on AE arcs" was common knowledge but I can see how it might be less obvious.  I might need to make a guide for it.  If you go to the My Published Arcs tab, you'll see the arcs you've published.  Instead of clicking the Play button, click anywhere else.  The arc should expand showing all of the arc's information, like the morality and breakdowns of each mission's objectives.  It will also show more buttons under Play.  One of these is Comments.  Clicking it will show the comments that have been left on an arc.

 

The Comments button has two specific quirks.  The first is that comments are saved to a text file.  You can read this file even outside the game since it exists on it's own.  I still have my comments file from before shutdown.  The second is that it seems to mainly save upon login of comments made while you were offline.  It seems like comments made from teammates while online often require a copy and paste from chat to a separate text program.

Thank you both for helping me, I think I have it figured out now.
