How are ratings calculated?
Ratings are calculated using Evan Miller's method (based on a Wilson score confidence interval) that is self-correcting. This means that the % of positive ratings & number of ratings decide a mods position on the top charts. The benefit of this approach is a mod with 2 positive ratings will not outrank one with 10 positive ratings but 2 negative. Nor will a mod with tons of rankings outrank everything unless most of the ratings are positive.
Rating levels
Ratings range from overwhelmingly positive to overwhelmingly negative. The color changes depending where on the scale the mod fits.

"Map pack? Big gaming"
So i really liked playing through this map pack but i think there is definitely room to improve these maps. I'll start with a good thing tho. The maps are VERY non linear but it's not confusing. I love the level design and you have to never backtrack. The maps all look very samish all the time. Not a big problem on the gameplay side. I rarely got lost but it all looks a bit weird and boring so thats something you could work on. There are also some parts of the maps which look a bit janky and inconsistent. There's also a bug where the maps are not in the correct order when you extract them out of the unzipped folder. You could fix this easily by calling the maps "the four ruins| map x | map name" (change the x to 1 2 3 4 (by order)). The gameplay for the most part is pretty weird but still doesn't feel unfair or not fun but in the first map (judging by the fact that you fight low tier enemys mostly) you have to fight a grand wizzard and scarecrows with double pistols which is just stupid and doesn't make any sense. Still good keep going

!!!Big Gaming Alert!!! Wow thanks for this super useful feedback. You made a lot of good points. I'll look this over and try to fix some of this stuff. I agree there are definitely improvements to be made here.
It's an honour to have THE creator of THE Mountain Dew mod playing these levels.
Even though everyone knows Pepsi is better. :///

Temple of Ving Tsun - I actually played this level first (I didn't realize it was last) and it honestly felt the most samey and uninspired, particularly with the lack of enemy and weapon variety.
Sanctum of Corruption - has a bug with the Cowgirl room where you cannot progress if you hop into the room and hop out as the bars come out of the floor and block your path That really sucked, but otherwise good.
The Defiled Paradise - that platforming section is really not fun, but otherwise good.
The Eldritch Caverns - this rocked! It felt the most similar to the original DUSK in terms of atmosphere and action. My only comment was that the world ending abruptly at the ocean/sea/lake rather than having a full horizon was a little weird, though that is a minor gripe on a fantastic level.

Ahola, thanks for the feedback. Glad you liked it. Yeah there's that one part in The Sanctum that I almost feel guilty about.
