This, is stupid.
Whut
Right.
I don't know about you guys, but genuinely, I think that this sucks. Here I am, a composer, a notecharter, submitting works to allow the server to grow and have more exclusives to entice people, and yet, they do not allow me to use the loading art that a friend made for me, and which I think is awesome and fits the song perfectly. I'm the artist, and notecharter, and in the future, I'm going to spend many, many hours to notechart and compose various songs for contribution to the server, partly because I want to watch it grow and relive the O2 Jam experiences that I have not felt for a long time, and partly because I want to promote my own works and have a sense of pride to see them being played by others. Thus, logically, since I receive nothing, other than the above, for this, I should have jurisdiction of the loading art of the songs. If I like it, I use it. There's absolutely no harm in that. After all, it's only there for less than ten seconds each time the song is played. This isn't an unreasonable request; to let every composer and notecharter choose whatever loading art to use; it's more of a basic right of all artists.
Of course, I'm sure many of you can see the irony presented here by what I've said, but do focus on the subject matter for awhile. D=
Know what they said?
No.
Instead, they throw up stupid excuses like 'it's empty', 'let may do it!' in order to deter me from using the piece of art that I want, and it's somehow already very unclear as to what the fate of Atmosphere's loading art shall be.
What some members of the forum, and the admin, are trying to do here are to insist on the use of their graphics team, and make them responsible for all loading arts of RO2 Exclusives. In a way, this is fine, if the composer and notecharter lacks the friends or the expertise to make the loading arts for them, then okay, they can use the graphics team. Evidently, it's not as if every notecharter already has a loading art at hand from some other source. Moreover, they have duties other than to make loading arts, such as making jamming arenas, starting templates, and other things. There are not going to be rendered useless by what I request, though some short-sighted fools fail to see this.
And ironically, they allow the composers and notecharters to ask from modifications so as to let the loading arts made by them suit their needs. Ha, ha, ha.
What I'm lobbying for is for composers to choose whatever loading arts they want, be it from the graphics team, their friends, other sources, and such. MO2 has done this, and it's not exactly their number one reason for going bankrupt from all of us. I'm not saying that the graphics teams are incompetent in their art (though they can be incompetent..., in other things); in fact, they are all better than what I can ever be. But bleh, they should not be the end all be all of loading arts. Down with this stupid restriction; down I say.
