This has been said many times, but you messed up.

Over a month from the games release there is plenty of dlc missing from the store. Plenty of bugs, and it's harder than ever for new creators to get their levels noticed.

I personally suggest you give away all dlc that came with lbp1 and lbp2 game of the year edition for free. This would be a good way to apologize for the buggy release.

And there's also the fact that people who bought the goty editions can't even access the content inside and are forced to rebuy it.

Oh, and fix the game before everyone leaves.

And bring back the cool pages.

The only way to get a popular level is to get on the busiest page, which is even harder to get on than the cool pages. Or get a team pick

And most levels on the busiest page are team picks... So theres that.

I haven't had much problems with the game, but...

When I published a Adventure Level to my Earth, I wanted to lock it. I locked it. The project wasn't finished yet and I was testing the Adventure function. I went to bed shortly after. But then, after waking up and booting up the game, I check my Earth and the level is unlocked, with a bunch of people playing it. I mean jeez, this worked fine in LBP2, it's running on the same engine too!

The funny thing is, the cool pages and lucky dip still exist.. just on LBP.Me . So lbp3 levels are still hitting those pages. the issue is, people aren't really using LBP.Me that way. The Cool Pages and Lucky Dip need to be IN THE GAME.

Same with the Dive In feature. That really needs to come back. How are people that are new to the franchise supposed to meet people? Joining others while they are playing levels makes it harder to actually connect. Some people don't miss the Dive In feature, but they've always had the option to turn it off. I've met plenty of great people from either them diving in on me, or me diving in on them.

Just... Buck up Sumo

Tweet whatever you got to say to their Twitter @SumoDigitalLtd account... I think they listen to what people have to say on there.

Lucky dip was my single shed of hope in being noticed, now all I can do is repeatedly republish my levels and hope...

My main issue revolves around the missing DLC taking so long to be fixed if I'm honest. I got so used to using nearly all of it in LBP2 that I can't access any of my projects that I've transferred over in the hopes I could upgrade them meaning there's not too much I want to do create-wise which is the only feature left since I've done everything in Story.

However, the dive-in feature would be pretty awesome if I'm honest since I am lacking many active friends...

I'm still creating levels on LBP2, don't care how broken they are in LBP3.

"shed" of hope huh? Shred, shred of hope is what you meant. And no, no it's not. Have you even tried to advertise your level? How good was your advertisement? Did you advertise your level on just one site with something like,
"please play my level guys. It's really cool. I worked 2 whole days on it and my brother says it rocks, please I just need that trophy. Come on! Please. I beg you, please play my new level."

Or, did you advertise on every freaking site you could think of and made your level thread like this?:

Conjunction Junction

See the difference? You have to play like you're a used car salesman with your levels. YOU have to sell it to the customer. YOU can't rely on the off chance that a customer may come by and see your level sitting over there and go, "oh hey, I think I'll play that level." No. You have to entice the customer to you, you have to advertise everywhere, Facebook, Twitter, ALL the forums, even the ones where you don't understand the language. All of them. As hard as you worked on your level, you will have to work that hard and harder to get plays.

I don't think they're going to give away all the dlc for free. People still buy dlc, and Sony benefits from that. If they just gave everything away, they won't even make that much money. I'm guessing they're doing everything they can to fix the dlc so that they can still make money. However I do agree with the bugs, and how new players don't get their levels noticed. There's gotta be some new advertisement system that you can do in the game, so that people can try out your levels.

About bugs, I hate not getting any of new tools. Just because I've imported a backup data from LBP 2 data in my PS3 to LBP 3 playing on my friend's console -.-.

If DLC would be for free, people who bought it would be ashame of devs.

Turn on Advanced Create Mode to get all of the tools. It's pretty simple to do. Just go in the settings.

Forgot to mention that I did it, but it's not working to me..

Just wanted to write and say that i'm in the exact same boat -- advanced edit on / imported saves / no new LBP 3 tools

Has anyone got any advice?

In 2 hours Sumo will be hosting a Q&A livestream here: http://www.twitch.tv/littlebigplanettv

Going to watch dat shit

I though right now that I was late when joining . I was actually too early

Everyone without the tools, that has advanced create on, should reset their profile.

Or just, complete the tutorials, like the old days.

What if they're 25? And can't really do much?

Plus I'm playing on friend's console and he's console doesn't have mine lbp2 data, i'm just using a backup data from my console. So I can't reset my profile without losing things i got from the previous games.

LBP2 and 1 data is transferred online using PSN accounts. So I don't think you have to worry about that one, just don't think about transferring over your custom made costumes, though.
