[Interest Check] QWER kit, "gg" key, Addon kit

[keyboardnoob]

White-ra quotes!!!

[manirra]

I'd be interested in maybe 1-2 sets of all three, although I feel that the 'gg' key might be a better fit in red.

[fstop]

Im interested in1-2 sets but I would have to see what the final decision is on the design.

Subscribed!

[demik]

throw in a rage quit key and im in!

What symol do you suggest for that? QQ?

[Changdrew]

Why not huehuehue?

[teknikality]

Survey filled I would definitely get 1 of each ^_^

[hazeluff]

Btw I'm no longer looking for someone to handle the GB, but just for the money collecting/paying and US shipping. (So probably best if you are in the US)

You should put Idra's face on a keycap if you want a ragequit keycap. LOL

That video always makes me smile.  <3 Artosis.


Also, I've been meaning to ask;  How much would a set of the LoL keys cost?  (An estimate is fine)

From the survey, I gather that most people have answered in the <$15 range. I want to get it to this range. But I'm working on a plan to make it happen round that price (but it all depends on the interest. More kits -> Lower Prices. But don't go ahead and tell tons of people come in just to bump my Interest Check). If this doesn't reach the "Interest" I need, it might be about $20. I'm doing all this on estimation and haven't contacted SP yet.

Note: I am only referring to the D,F,V,G and B keys set (LoL Specific kit) without the QWER keys. The QWER kit should be quite cheap because of either no legend fee or very cheap legend fee.

[hazeluff]

Shameless bump cos this thread started sinking down the page.

While I'm at it, Would you guys still buy it if we couldn't do the D and F spell keys?

[tsangan]

Yeah <$15 range can't happen unless you take out all those custom images, I didn't want those keys to begin with

[hazeluff]

I think it was a nice "touch", but only really can be put into the <$15 range if 100 sets are made. So I'm thinking of scratching those to leave us with only VGB keys. Which leaves us with a much cheaper set and less "wasted" keys.

Or instead of icons for d and f, just stick with the letters.

Same font as q w e r, but red. I think that'd be a good compromise.

Yeah, that wouldn't be too bad = ). But depends. I'm still letting the IC sit a bit. Maybe some more people will show that there is interest in these keys. = p

Too long of a IC is bad, makes people less interested

It's only a week. But I think if I don't find any US person to run the GB, I will be doing it with people who are in Can/EU. I wish I could run it myself, but from my estimations of how long this GB will take, I will be shipping keys during my exam month. And I will not prioritize this over my university degree unfortunately. I don't mind doing all the preparation and contacting SP. But I cannot do the shipping itself (or at least not 50+ sets).

[demik]

i can do the shipping if you want, you handle the rest (collecting payment and so on)

For GB this size I should be able to pay them through paypal yes?

If so, you're hired and I'll get this going.

[demik]

If you want, collect payment and send it to me. Contact sp and have them send me the bill and I'll pay.

[hazeluff]

I'm just worried about one thing. I have a limit (its like $3000+). I don't think the GB will crush it (You'd probably have to get like 500 sets). But its in the back of my mind. I don't think it's too huge of a problem, I'm sure a few of my friends won't mind me using their receiving limit ><

Also if I pass money to you don't I have to give %3 to paypal?

Otherwise I think we're good.

[demik]

or you can have people just pay me directly, i highly doubt this will hit 3k

[hazeluff]

Yeah, Well I don't want to bother you with checking who paid, if you don't want to. If you're up for it, then sure. Otherwise it'll be fine going to me and then to you.

[demik]

how ever you want to do it just here to help you get your keycaps!

[hazeluff]

<3<3 I'll do the collecting and pass it to you, so that you don't have much to do. I should be also be able to handle the 10 or so people who want EU/UK shipping.

This group buy is officially starting.

Just need to get in touch with Mellisa for a quote. (and checking with 7bit the font for ROUND3, so that they match them).

Also final design:

I dropped the custom spell keycaps for 'D' and 'F' Keys. They are now just letters.

[ Attachment Invalid Or Does Not Exist ] 38822[/ATTACH]

The colors is the majority vote from the IC.

Awesome .

Can't wait to get my hands on these

[hazeluff]

Just sent my email for a quote. But I don't expect anything back till the weekday.

That's not always true, look at the ergoDOX.

I would say that posting this elsewhere would make it really popular. Is there a league of legends forum?

Of course.

As soon as the GB starts I'll be posting there (bringing LoL's trolls in the interest check is no good).

[hazeluff]

I avoided their forums and other communities for the IC. Because I didn't want trolls when doing input. I don't mind trolls in the GB, either they buy or they don't.

[cix]

Thanks for hooking those of us that play LOL up with these, you are full of win!

I'm also full of muffins = x.

I would be interested in one QWER kit, "gg" key, League of Legends kit. They look pretty sweet.

DotA > LoL

:behindsofa:

Dota > LoL

In every way.

[NguyenAdam]

Dota > HoN > LoL

It's all based on opinion. You can't just flat out say one game is better than the other.

[tsangan]

Dota is just better :rofl:

[hazeluff]

Its opinion.
 
But fundamentally as a game LoL is very bad in my opinion. You know how blizzard makes a game and it's right in almost every way. Well LoL made something and just threw it out. Very unpolished and then make the gameplay/mechanics really really imbalanced. They can't decide where they stand on game balance. Where is the fun in playing LoL when 99% games are just 5 people jump in and the higher dps wins. Crowd Control seems almost pointless and almost every new hero is "tanky dps". Theres a ton of things they do in balance that either goes against their phylosophy of how the game should be. The worst is making people have to get the "right" runes to be at 100%. Dota and HoN start everyone off equal so its a game of skill, not who's played so much they can get runes for all of their heroes.

Back onto it being polished, the game came out with Adobe AIR as its foundation of a UI. It looked terrible. I know this doesn't affect things too much, but the UI was so inconsistent it was different in game and in the game lobby.

I think one of the biggest problems I have with the game, is just how often they have to balance heroes. They like see "oh this is slighly OP" and then just nerf it to the ground just to notice they went to far. This is especially true when they make new heroes. Balancing needs to be slow and let the meta-game settle. People learn how to deal with what they THINK is OP.

There's more to my rant, but I'll write up my rage another day.

I do enjoy the game, but only because I troll really heavily and I like playing with friends. But The game itself gets like a 5-6/10 in my books.

That's just my opinion tho, I'm not saying "it's terrible and noone should play it and if you do, you are probably a horrible person".
The game is great for people who like playing casually and is nonetheless "FUN".
You may call me an elitist jerk, but that's just how I see it.
Don't get me wrong, I still have fun in it when playing with my friends (enough to overlook things I dislike about this game).

Anyway. I'm not here to **** all over this game.
 
I'm here to make purdy keycaps for everyone.

[Changdrew]

I was going to argue, but I didn't want this to turn into general discussion <3
Thanks for the group buy!

Thanks.

But my pent up rage for losing in LoL just exploaded, so I just went for it.

The game is so bad, I'm making hundreds of keycaps for the game. Makes sense right? xD

Anyway 2morrow is Monday. Which means Melissa should be in the office and see my request for a quote and hopefully we can move smoothly from there.

On that note, It's also FUNDAY MONDAY.!!! (SC2/Day[9] Reference)

I haven't been able to get into Dota 2.  I guess I like how fast paced LoL can be.  I've yet to try out HoN but I've heard the community is worse than LoL(hard to believe).

HoN is pretty much Dota1 replica. It's a matter of opinion and since LoL has a bigger player base, their negative opinions of HoN are more in numbers.
