Thought I'd beat the announcement as Leah is slow

What you think guys?

Thread Closed by Sammeth. (Assistant General Manager): To prevent further arguments (I include myself in those arguing). If you wish to recreate the thread to point out any flaws in HxHD and give constructive feedback, I implore you to do so, but lets not have it fall into carnage.

Thread Reopened by Sammeth. (Assistant General Manager): HAHAHA DISREGARD THAT I SUCK *****.

I like it. I'm getting fed up of seeing exec furni everywhere.

me nd 2 other forum members was there last week andwe thought it was a joke, but since the other furni got added its ok

a grass floor would look x10 better

I like it, although I dont like how two sides are pink and purple, the others blue. Should be all diff or same.
The floor looks too bare, needs some rugs or something.
Also, the cola seems to be in the way even though its not.
Two orange para in the stack would be nice too.

Apart from that, I like it :D

looks fit, but the blue chairs look a bit odd:(

Yeah the floor was the one thing I said I didn't like tbh, just doesn't seem to fit

Good overall though, much better than exec

Maybe some of the HC's from the Lotto can go directly towards HxHD and improving its furniture range as its OK at the moment, just needs enhancing and improving with some better furniture and rares.

Dave,
21-07-2009, 12:45 AM
I think the floor should be left. Rugs wouldn't look good with the fountain and its too generic to fill a room with petals. Think outside the box, or the habBOX in this case. Oh I amuse myself sometimes =/

Alkaz
21-07-2009, 12:45 AM
maybe just a couple of tiles underneath it would be good, like in the valentines layout.

hxhd used to have rly good themed desks bk in the day its alriite i spose

Sammeth.
21-07-2009, 12:52 AM
The valentines layout was fully tiled.

To be fair, with HxSS coming up there are better things the HCs are gonna go towards, at the end of the day this layout is quite nice, quite summery and it does the job. Its just a room on habbo, so its not impacting anyone hugely enough to warrant spending more HCs on minor changes.

To be frank, the office items were getting old. This new desk is LOVELY . Love it.

Mrs.McCall

Hmm.

It's better than executive but that's not saying much. There is too much colour. Why couldn't you stick to a colour theme i.e. blue and green.

It looks far too cluttered and the lodge mixed in looks awful (I would've gone for iced).

The floor being bare doesn't bother me.

I'm not keen!

I won't sound not pleased, but I hate it how some random furni is dotted around e.g. Presents and the ducks.

dogboy123
21-07-2009, 07:20 AM
I quite like it this time, I like how colourful it is, not sure about the presents being from the penguins also the ducks ontop.

But I also like how the desk is in a different place to normal :)

I never like the help desk layouts, it always looks like a 5 minute "What-do-we-have-in-the-donation-room?" layout. Looks crap.

AgnesIO
21-07-2009, 07:43 AM
Wouldn't it be a better idea to stick to habbox colours?

I think it would be nicer with just orange and yelow (and maybe blue)

Angel-Charlene
21-07-2009, 09:10 AM
Ok, no offence like but I thought I'd add a few things, change furni, whatever.
Rate or slate.
If Sam & Leah likes it, they can have the furni for the room.
Enjoy :)

i dont really like it to be honest.....
its alrightish for the summer just it looks a bit i dunno just something that aint right about it

but i do think its better then the first layout

Sammeth.
21-07-2009, 12:05 PM
Its so hard to please everyone, and we'll never get it perfect as people like to moan too much. "Its too grey, add colour" "its too colourful now". "Change the layout" "but change it exactly how I want it to look like". We do our best to listen to you guys and do what you want, but its never ever good enough and probably won't be as everything has to be perfect. I think we'll leave changes to a minimum as whenever we change it, its not good enough and people want it to be changed more. If we just avoid changing it people will get used to it I guess.

These don't come from donations, I pay for most layout changes, which is why we are limited. The donations we have, although we're grateful, are too random and different to make a layout from.

Last time "hello" furni was used (for Eurovision) everyone seemed to hate it. It didn't help that the Eurovision design was changed so much from how it was intended that it wasn't gonna look good anyway, but you always get people complaining about a place being too cheap for using it because sadly some people only like a room based on how expensive it is rather than how it looks

21-07-2009, 12:16 PM
I honestly can't see why people get so het up over a room, which isn't exactly awful. I mean if we had like stabbed a baby just so we could paint the walls red, or hollowed out someones skull to use as a corner, then I would understand people being upset or angry about it. But at the end of the day, its just a room on habbo. People need to lighten up and realise how much we are actually trying. Last year how many layout changes did we get? One I believe. This year we've gone above and beyond to try and get new layouts every so often to keep it fresh. Don't know why we bother, as someone I can't remember once said, its usually the pattern to complain, get what you want, then complain about getting it. This is just an afterthought of my earlier post, not a rant at anyone in particular.

I love charlenes room looks ALOT better.

Atm in the HxHD layout, the habbo cola is just out of place, you should either completely remove it or replace with an ICM tbh.

the floor is just, ew? atleast get cheap patches/rugs

I also don't like the lodge stuff as its out of shape with other furni

The paras on the left prevent you from seeing stickies so you can't see ban list etc on old client.

fountain is out of place tbh, if there was some sort of patches it'd look better.

Innit Alex, whats annoying is when they want change yet complain when it happens.

I'm going out now so you know changes won't be made to the room right now (if at all).

Thats a very simplistic answer, I feel. I think the room is okay but if posted in the Cool Rooms section for a R & S would only get 6/10 at the most. It looks unfinished & there is no symmetry. The choice of furni is random and the colours don't blend. It may only be a room but it represents Habbox and on this occasion I disagree with Sammeth and the change which is not for the better. :)

I think it's kind of rude and egotistical to say that simply because we don't like your layout it means we're ungrateful or never happy. I mean what do you expect us to say? "Oh we're so blessed he actually changed it". You posted a feedback thread so don't moan when we give actual feedback.

Second of all, you should take in other people's ideas. I know furni can be a bit tight but I bet you wouldn't be short on donations if you asked. I think you should take ideas from this thread on board and put your pride aside because quite frankly, you may own the room but its the people who visit that count. It's the equivalent of McDonalds releasing a McPoo Burger and everyone saying how gross it is but McDonalds love it so they keep it and lose money.

The new layout is a bit McPoo. It can be improved with a few modifications. Hardly asking the world!

I wouldn't take it so personally. I know how you feel though when you design a room you really like and then people slate it.

If people don't like the layout then they'll stop coming to the room, their loss your gain.

I think it's good that you update it and go with the seasons. I think a lot of help desks will follow after this, they did with the exec furni.

I look forward to seeing what you come up with for autumn and the Christmas period :) +rep for the room

Because its a help desk maybe where you want to attract people to come? I honestly don't think they are short of donations either tbh but if they are I will happily chip in too. :)

Fair enough but how is that his gain and have you really seen a popular Help Desk in an empty room? I thought there was an idea that several designs would be sauced and that the members would be given a chance to vote on them? Could be wrong but that's what I thought.

2 years ago the Habmate helpdesk layout was way over complicated and it made the room a bit of a clickfest. this one is simplistic but colourful and welcoming, some tweaking and itl be great.

This hasn't damaged my "pride" one bit, and it doesn't play that much of a part in why Im defending the desk. I'm just defending the fact that we've made such an effort since getting the feedback I requested, yet it goes ignored and even more negatives come out of it. Its quite frustrating. I actually don't really care that much about how the room looks, its just a pixelated room, I won't lose sleep over it. Next time we'll just let you guys design it and do a poll or something, saves us a lot of hassle.

This room is poo, the old room was poo, and I'm sure all rooms in the future will be poo as no one on this forum is ever overly happy with the things we provide.

Too much hassle than its worth! As I said, we'll let you guys submit a layout, have a poll and then we'll just keep it as that. No point in changing it up as all it does is provoke the argument of cheapness (pixel graphics these days!) or being distasteful or not listening to what the public want.

close hxhd then. you make it sound as if you're doing us a favour, when you're not. it's your job. if you don't want to do it then you could be replaced in a matter of minutes (as help desk owner that is). i really couldn't give one but when the owner doesn't even care then who do you expect to. i've always thought the managers should own the room. i don't want to hear the trust argument, if you trust them to be a habbox manager then you trust them to own "a pixelated room you won't lose any sleep over" :rolleyes:

If it were up to me someone else would own it, trust me. I consider it to be a hassle, so would gladly hand over ownership to the manager. Though its not always about trust, its about longevity and whether letting a manager own it would be worth it changing hands so often. In my experience people are never pleased with layouts. They hated the one nvrspk4 had, yet when about 4 months down the line everyone wanted it back. It just keeps repeating itself. I've already said I'll let the public design it next time, and then put it to a poll, as that way surely the one that will win the majority will like and hopefully it will cut down the hassle. Sounds like a pretty sensible solution to me.

There has already been 2 people design and post it.. I don't see why it couldn't be turned into an official competition every few months. Post the announcement a few weeks in advance and give them a few days to design and send. :P

Although I was only a visitor at the time, people LOVED DJ-3000 layouts. He is still spoken about today. In fact, I *think* he was mentioned within this thread itself. He hasn't been staff for YEARS yet still actively mentioned every single time the layout of the desk is mentioned. Therefore, it's evident that a suitable and an attractive layout can be produced.

I don't even really agree with the limited furniture argument. Habbox is the biggest UK fansite and if it wanted it could have numerous rare donations. I have no doubt your counter argument will be along the lines of "they can be used for better things". However, HxHD was only kept open because it's supposedly a fundamental part of Habbox thus it's hugely important. I'd rather see less in the HxSS and more put towards HxHD because at the end of the day HxHD is there to stay. HxSS is a temporaray thing.

Although I was only a visitor at the time, people LOVED DJ-3000 layouts. He is still spoken about today. In fact, I *think* he was mentioned within this thread itself. He hasn't been staff for YEARS yet still actively mentioned every single time the layout of the desk is mentioned.

To be fair at the time of DJ-3000 help desks were at their peak. Also there was only a limited amount of furni available before habbo released the new ranges so he only had the choice of what was available.

DJ-3000 had a good layout, the staff area was a lot larger but with the decline in help desks there isn't a need for such a large staff section. The help desk is used more as a place to go rather than for it's purpose. As far as I know there hasn't been a replacement for Newsbox/Snewsbox so people need a general popular room to go.

To be honest I wish I hadn't defended the layout now.

I thought the designs were going to the public vote this time otherwise some of us have wasted hours of our time for nothing. You can still have very well designed rooms that meet the criteria. :S

This is what I was just thinking of saying to him as I was reading this thread lol. No point asking people to make designs only to disregard them or change them so dramatically that the essence of them doesn't work any more

People crave help desks rooms, popularity can't be an excuse. The only thing that makes people not go in HxHD can only really be the atmosphere of the room which is deteriorating and the layout. Other help desk rooms are busy. 8freak8 has good designs too - the desk was relatively popular then too.

I see a correlation with layouts and activity. HFFM lounge is always busy. HxHD is hardly inactive but it only attracts the same people, staff members and people who use Habbox. It doesn't attract any one else whereas other help desks do. I'm not saying this is primarily because of the dire layout but I reckon it's an element.

Hmm, its plain - add more colour, a floor?, remove the water feature + add plants around the room. Its not very summery if you ask me - Summer = Sun, outdoors (plants, trees, grass), and colours - Atm I can see 1/3.

Well it certainly comes across as a mini hissy fit because the feedback doesn't heap praise. Yes you took time but it doesn't look like you made any effort. People have focused on the positives too i.e. they like the fact it's bright and summery.

However, this design is so detrimentally poor that positives are difficult to pick out.

I think letting people decide via poll is the very best way.

Basically a quick fix would be:
use some rugs/tiles
a few more plants
co-ordinating colour furniture
get rid of the lodge.

easy peasy lemon squeezy.

I like rooms with a theme, especially to match the current season. I prefer it much more to the boring executive which has been there for a while lol :).

He hasn't been staff for YEARS yet still actively mentioned every single time the layout of the desk is mentioned. Therefore, it's evident that a suitable and an attractive layout can be produced.

I don't even really agree with the limited furniture argument. Habbox is the biggest UK fansite and if it wanted it could have numerous rare donations. I have no doubt your counter argument will be along the lines of "they can be used for better things". However, HxHD was only kept open because it's supposedly a fundamental part of Habbox thus it's hugely important. I'd rather see less in the HxSS and more put towards HxHD because at the end of the day HxHD is there to stay. HxSS is a temporaray thing.

In recent times then. DJ-3000 was a long time ago.

I would hope to say HxSS isn't a temporary thing as we do it every year. In reply to a later post, I've heard the troublemakers being a reason for people not wanting to go in the desk but I've never hear of the layout being a reason to not go in HxHD whatsoever. In fact we are often quite popular. The Executive layout is pretty much proof that people will come in regardless, as they've put up with that long enough.

We'll include them for sure when we do open votes up, you haven't wasted time. This is a temporary change whereas I had contacted you both for permanant design changes :)


sam, pm me with a room to donate furni into or so we can arrange to look through my rooms for "decent" rares to donate (i doubt i have the new ones).

Again, a room can be great without what you personally class as "decent rares". If you want to donate to HxHD thats fine, and I'll make sure they are used in competitions and what not in the desk itself, however I could never promise someone we would use them in a layout.

Well whoever did the floor should be fired
lmao hush



The floor being bare doesn't bother me.

:eusa_danc

Ok, no offence like but I thought I'd add a few things, change furni, whatever.
Rate or slate.
If Sam & Leah likes it, they can have the furni for the room.
Enjoy :)

Never know Jack's there, he might drop his furni and do it


Oh wait.
I couldn't help but laugh

Looks good but it reminds me of skittles and now i want skittles when i go in

Ok let's talk about managers getting forced out of jobs they weren't ever given the powers to work on and then being denied placement elsewhere xoxo

Or reporting bad staffing for the good of a whole department and having it thrown out due to suspicion and differing viewpoints xoxo

I was already in articles and the only content job I was told about was entry level (which anyone could have got anyway) and would have been under someone who I quite openly don't get on with. People working UNDER me were promoted to AFM while I was effectively told to become a trialist or nothing

He wasn't promoted as an apology for articles closing lmao.


As far as the layout, I believe Sammeth. is planning on allowing a user-designed and voted-on layout to become the permanent layout of HxHD.

I explained in another thread, that got moved away cus of naughtiness and youthful hijinks, that the designs that were asked of specific people were for permanant changes whereas this is a temporary design for summer. Things will be done. They will be done.
