Yeah the game seems to be losing allot of its "luster" now. I keep changing my level I'm making because I don't want it to get pulled. I know the hours I have spent on my level and if it got pulled I think I would get rid of the game.

I really really hope they get this fixed because it is a fun game!

isn't the level still on your ps3, even it gets pulled? so why, couldn't they tell what's wrong, you fix it, then reupload?

By the way, only two more places to go for all aces!

The Great Pyramid- Find your way through the dangerous pyramid full of secret rooms, traps, and lots of prizes. Find the secret entrance to the mummy's tomb and then find your way through the underground maze to discover the mummy's tomb filled with prizes. 4 custom prizes and lots of point bubbles. A challenging course with replay value to get 100% complete.

I got stuck after getting past the darts, trying to scale the wall. Is that what I'm supposed to be doing? The first time I tried it, I got to the 3rd level but fell before I could try to go up any higher. I guess I was just lucky since after that I had trouble just getting to the 2nd level.

I have never had a level pulled "yet". From what I understand it is taken off the server AND your moon so its gone you would have to remake the entire thing and they don't even tell you what was wrong.

There is just no way I would go back and spend the hours again making a level and having a chance of it being pulled w/o notice. There are no guidelines as to what you can and can not put into your level. Unless you like making trophy levels for the rest of your life they need to get this straightened out.

http://www.thesixthaxis.com/2008/11/...s-interviewed/

We’ve discussed at length why Media Molecule are moderating certain LittleBigPlanet levels, but when levels are culled from Geosautus, the game’s leading creator of user levels, we thought it was time to reassess the situation. For the unaware, despite only having the beta, Geosautus’ levels like World of Colour are still unmatched in terms of professionalism and quality, although that might well change very soon…

TSA: Hi Geosautus. So, how was the fact that your level was moderated communicated to you?

GEOSAUTUS: Well, My PS3 is broken so I haven’t really been able to play the retail version of LBP yet. The only info I’ve gotten is through various forums commenting on the sudden absence of my (and other people’s) levels. I feel totally helpless.

TSA: So how do you feel after all your hard work has been denied the audience it deserved?

GEOSAUTUS: It seems as though both God of War and World of Colour has been taken down. God of War was understandable - since it contained copyrighted material and pretty excessive gore it didn’t really come as a shock. Today I read that World of Colour had been moderated too. It contained no copyrighted or offensive material so I don’t understand why it was moderated - and with the current system I doubt that I’ll ever find out. I’m furious.

They need to sort this stuff out. I usually spend about a week or so building and testing each level before publishing it, so if both my levels have indeed been moderated that’s two weeks of work wasted. What makes it all even more frustrating is that when some of my levels were stolen (e.g. copied and republished), they didn’t do anything about it. So stolen levels are okay, great levels are not. Nice. The moderating system is clearly broken.

TSA: Has there been any communication regarding changes that would allow the levels to be reinstated?

GEOSAUTUS: I have just sent emails to members of the team at Mm, but I haven’t recieved a reply yet. If they can’t work this out, I can see a lot of people - myself included - abandoning this game. And that would be a real shame.

TSA: Do you see LBP level design as a potential way into the industry for you or others like you?

GEOSAUTUS: Sure, why not? I think that great level design is great level design, regardless of the tools you are using. I think that LBP is a great and inexpensive (granted you already own a PS3) way to test your level design skills.

TSA: How do you design your levels? Do you design in a linear fashion from start to finish, or do you design sections one at a time and then link them together at the end?

GEOSAUTUS: I usually build levels in a completely linear fashion. Just designing one bit at a time, rarely knowing what the next section will be like. This changed a bit in Mad Mansion where I had the last section planned out before I started building it. I have also started planning my next level. But right now I’m just not sure if I’ll continue making levels. I’m just really frustrated right now.

TSA: What’s your favourite level of the user created stuff you’ve played?

GEOSAUTUS: I haven’t really played any LBP since the beta. My PS3 broke the day before I got LBP. I did get a chance to play Azure Palace at a friends house, and I really liked it. But appearently it has also been moderated. They need to stop moderating all the good levels!

Thanks for your time.

[sore_and_crucified]

For the tutorial trophy I think I skipped a few and now can't get it. Any suggestions? Anyone else have this problem.
I assume I don't need to collect all the items and complete any extra ones for it??

Neither of those guys are fun. They asked me to join their Rock Band DLC-sharing group (well dgator did), and I said I would, but now neither responds to messages anymore. Not that I insist on being in it, but a response saying they filled the spot or changed their mind would be the expected common courtesy.

But anyhow, dgator is right. When acing levels, you don't want to play with other people. It may help to have someone help you beat a boss, if that person knows what they're doing, but you're just increasing the chances of a random error (like falling into a pit...especially if the game ever starts lagging). And then for a level like The Bunker, having a second person going through that spinning wheel makes it about 1000x harder to ace, because you have to time your movements through the wheel together.

I wouldn't hate the bunker so much if the giant wheel was at the beginning. But I hate making it all the way through the level, only to die on the wheel. The part that gets me is the very outer ring, where you have to jump over the electrified pegs, while waiting for the opening, so you can drop down out of the wheel.

The Bunker, and a few other levels (the western one with the boss who throws bombs at you) are probably going to keep me from ever getting a platinum trophy, because I'm not patient enough to play them enough times to finally get lucky. But oh well.

I tried looking online, but didn't have any luck, so I'll ask here.

Does anybody know how to get the key in The Subway? (I'm pretty sure that's the name of the level). I decided to check if I was missing any keys, and that appears to be the only one.

Well we are still thinking, and You have never contacted me... anyways..

I'm creating my first level right now, so far so good, just want to make it fun and interesting so I get some hearts and stuff...

Subway.. idk.. i'd have to look at it and play it again..

Thanks. I ended up finding it. It's part of the annoying X shaped spinning part. Luckily I killed two birds with one stone, and was able to get the final prize I was missing (that sign shaped thing...whatever it is) and the key. That's one of my least favorite boards, for whatever reason.

Also, for everyone thats played my Connect Four level, I changed it around a tiny bit a few days ago. It seemed pointless for 1-player, so I added a bit of a secret to make it seem a little more worthwhile. My two levels, combined, are at about 950 plays/120 hearts. I still need 12 more hearts as a creator to get the gold trophy, so in the meantime I keep re-publishing my level every day, to try to run up some more hearts.

really? wow.. I didn't think people would be stealing already - I did set that level to shareable as an experiment.

[AikonEnt]

Hey, I've got a level up for playing and need some love to get my trophies

My PSN id is 'aikonent' and the level is called 'just a little test :-)'. If you get far enough into it you get to drive a monster truck that'll do wheelies!

It's still a work in progress at the moment, so any thoughts on it would be welcomed.

[BillCable]

Where are the two keys in the Wedding level? I got the one on the big skeleton's hat, but I can't find the second. That's the last thing I need to Ace to be 100% complete with that section.
