fail, its nasty except for the stage area bit which makes sense as hxl parties take place but if it's a music themed desk alot more effort could've gone into it, back in the day habbox used to update the desk really well when i worked there it was worth waiting for (when dj-3000 owned it) i just dont like it , k end of rant lol
I really like the stage area, as it's part of eurovision.Quote:

ALOT more effort could've gone into it though, im just comparing how the desk used to be to what it has becomeQuote:

The hello furni is just an immediate fail, sorry but it is, you could have used anything but hello furni.. blue iced? What happened to the days when Habbox had money? You could have even bought some theatre chairs? Or even directors chairs? It would look so much better.
I obviously respect it may not be possible due to funds, but one thing that might be is having flags all over the walls instead of just that random bit?
Yeah i'm sure that it could be improved but it wasn't made by a professional room designer, just someone who wanted to help so I hope they aren't disheartened by this thread.Quote:

The idea was to get furni to actually match. The stage was already set up when I got there and the flooring at the time was brown and white tiling which really didn't work. When I left it there was a cobbled floor which I still think would look better than the current exec and the hello furni was chosen as it matches the colours (or lack thereof:P) of the stage and looked like seating might be in a concert hall. There were also tiles under the chairs so it didn't look quite so bland, the walls were different and the area with the CD stacks was differently decorated - I believe it looked much better in the planning room, there are a fair few subtle but damaging differences that have been made since then. Not too sure why but there you go.
@Oli: I did say to get director chairs but Jack said there's only 10 in the whole hotel or something and I'm not up on these things so took his word for it :P
EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
That bad, its completely ugly, i don't see why eurovision has anything to do with habbox so theres no need for a help desk for have it. Different for like christmas/easter etc but a bloody crap program on tv? :S
Simpsons season 21 or something CAN WE PLZ GET A LAYOUT 4 IT?!?!?!!!?!?!!? no :rolleyes:
Yes, as you've figured it's ugly :}

I didnt mean make it look rich :P because obviously lack of funds are understandable i think the tiles would look better if floor was covered with them and the flags going across the top wall all around would look good but better furni could have been used, i know the hell furni is similar to the kind of chairs in a theatre but the fishing seats are random i think executive chairs the oneseaters would look better just my opinion though :pQuote:

I see what they have done.
Although I don't really like it - stage? Its a helpdesk, not a party room.
The smart idea was using beginner furni - letting new Habbos they can make a nice room using the furni they get.
Neon bars and seats? I'm somewhat out of touch with some of the newer stuff, I have no idea what that is lol. Didn't want to make it too much like a club though anyway, it's just the stage that needs to be lit. Realllllly don't get the exec flooring, I thought we'd decided against that already in planning but apparently not.. and the wall doesn't make any sense either.
I dunno too many changes have been made since I last knew it so I'm gonna leave this thread for a bit until Sam gets on to explain or something :P

Anyway the stage looks goooooooood, i really don't like the other bit of it though :(!
u deleted our conversation about dj-3000 :(Quote:

I want a simpson-ish layout, make marge out of yellow and blue doormats with yellow plasto all the way round room :rolleyes:
Even the simpsons is more popular than this crapvision.
^^ excuse me, i'm nothing but nice i never swear :@!
The stage looks fine, I know the flags are meant to be there because of theme but it's still pretty crappy lol. The floor doesn't look right, especially with those chairs ;_;. The ones behind the staff desk look fine but the purple ones don't go with the floor. Everything sorta clashes but because it's 'Eurovision' I think it kinda goes well overall, it'll only be like that until Eurovision is over and you're all still gonna complain about something no matter what's changed. It's alright.
tbh ive not liked alot of the recent hxhd layouts but this was the worse, but i rly like the stage bit thats a keeperQuote:

All the furni donated by others (including myself) for other hxhd layouts could be sold and something better than that, dont forget we donated that furni to habbox, nots sammeths pocket ;) (I am not saying it is, i am just stating btw, to get it clear, i knw sam isnt a noob)
You told me it made you want to puke....Quote:

As Scotty said, none of the furni goes to Sams pocket...Quote:

I said the stage was good and I liked it
The hello furni is a bit iffy though
I quite like it.
Although I think the second row of chairs should be removed to give more of an open space as it all looks cramped if theres a few people in there :P
But it's quite nice to suit the theme of eurovision :D
why use hellofurni for a help desk :S:S:S:S:S
IT'S ABSOLUTELY DISGUSTING I THINK I'M GOING TO THROW UP. IT'S THE UGLIEST THING I HAVE EVER SEEN IN MY WHOLE ENTIRE LIFE AND GOD THAT IS SAYING SOMETHING. BRB WHILE I PUKE!!!!!!!!!!1 IT DOESN'T EVEN LOOK LIKE A HELP DESK? EURGEURGGGGGGGGGGGGGG. -REP-REP-REP
I personally think it really looks ugly. The place makes it feel dull and the staff furniture does not go well AT ALL. It is all about contrasting colours.
I presume the Sunday after Eurovision it will be taken down and returned to normal?
(The idea was good just didn't turn out very well :P)
Are you being serious? That is AWFUL
I love the stage, hello furni? WHY? Makes the room look VERY cheap from the word go.
I think you need to seriously think about getting some to design it who's good at this kind of thing :S
Yeah lets blame Jack.Quote:

Any furniture that has specifically been donated to HxHD for layouts has always been used like that. We get large HC donations, or large credit donations, or just normal donations that are either still in my donations rooms or have already been used as prizes elsewhere. Rather than selling on previous layouts, we keep them ready and waiting in case we want to use them in a layout again - makes sense.Quote:

It's what it's supposed to resemble rather than what it cost to get.Quote:

It hasn't (and shouldn't) stop anyone from actually using the desk - in fact its drawn some of you in just so you can complain! It won't be around forever so I think everyones over reacting just a tad. A layout of a specific room on Habbo isn't going to damage Habbox's reputation or cause people major distress. If it does, then I think that says a lot more about the person than it does about Habbox.
Enjoy it while you can! We can never do enough! Everyone focuses on "omg such a bad layout" but neglect to mention what the amazing staff are doing up until the 16th - daily quizzes, chances to win VIP. It's a lot of nice stuff, it just comes with a theme. Maybe we can all be optimistic (if that's possible in these parts, I see it so rarely I've almost forgotten what optimism is) and focus on the good things that come with it, rather than dragging the mood down and focusing too much on a simple TEMPORARY layout.
I don't think he will :(Quote:

Not bad tho :D
I attempted to make my own office/helpdesk type thing, and yours is probably better than mine so good Job! :P
I have my views and opinions on this, and when I try to put them across inside the helpdesk, I am drowned out by moans of "I'M GONNA PUKE!!" from people who expect me to say "I'LL HOLD YOUR HAIR BACK" rather than "I don't think it's that bad."
I think it's all quite nice and fun, and the colours match. Maybe it's not glitzy and glamourous and you find it a bit cheap and nasty - since when was Eurovision a classy competition? At the end of the day, all we wanted to do was create a nice fun atmosphere inside the desk, with an area for people to dance and sing on, which will also be used for the fabulous events we have coming up.
I personally think that some people are failing to appreciate the fact that we're trying to do something nice for everyone and giving away a few prizes here and there and celebrating something which is fun and cheesy and happy, even if it's not a holiday like Christmas, Valentines or Easter.
It'll all be over next Sunday after the UK wins ;).
I don't think its that bad I'm not a fan of the light blue color scheme in the staff-ish area but I think the hello chairs for spectators go nicely with the stage.Quote:

But its also may be difficult for Sam and co to find things that fit, and enough of it, it can be a real pain in the arse sometimes :P
They definitely deserve credit for making the effort to bring something new, even if you don't like it they spent a lot of time and effort designing something to try and do something exciting for the users and its kind of rude to be like *THROWZ UP* especially given that when I was owner people were complaining about how little I changed the desk look.
You can not like it, and you can give constructive criticism, but don't attack people and at least thank them for the effort they put in.
at least some of you have the luxury of being able to log on ma hotel.
from the screenie scotty posted i think it actually looks alright. theatre chairs are ugly and director chairs are like super super rare.
If uk wins i give you a throne, cus its never guna happen, we always end up like 26thQuote:

Don't i know it ;)Quote:
