[MA] Star rating breakdown

It would be nice to be able to see a breakdown of our star ratings, the way that Amazon does with their book reviews.

This would let authors know if people just didn't like their arcs or if they got visited by the 1 and 0 star bandits. (Not that there aren't perfectly good reasons for 1 and 0 starring, but if you can see that the highs are freak spikes rather than the lows it would be helpful)

Or at least let us see how many total stars each arc has earnt.

Asking, because one of mine at 85 ratings and a 4* average should have netted ~340 stars, but I haven't had the 250* badge, so there's obviously something odd going on.


#2409 - The Mystery of the MAGI vaults. Azuria has contacted you to help her stop the thefts from the MAGI vaults.
#68054 - Out of the gutters. Left for dead, you swore that you were through with being a victim (alt villain beginning story)

Yeah, it's annoying to have to remember to copy the chat channel if you want to keep your comments.

Maybe that's because those badges aren't awarding properly right now.

Is that the case? Thought they were because I got the 100 one.

Still a more detailed star break down would be useful.

Notably the 250 and 500 star badges are awarding simultaneously. Not that Im close to either...



@Catwhoorg "Rule of Three - Finale" Arc# 1984
@Mr Falkland Islands"A Nation Goes Rogue" Arc# 2369 "Toasters and Pop Tarts" Arc#116617

Being able to read comments might help prospective players weed out ratings that they may not want to pay attention to. For instance, when I buy a computer part on Newegg, I can see how people rated the part, but also why... if some doofus rates a part one egg (Newegg's version of stars) and his comment says he rated it so low because the part he ordered is incompatible with his system or because his brother put it in the microwave and it doesn't work any more, I can disregard that low review as irrelevant.

Similarly, I could disregard the opinions of people who rated arcs poorly because of "too much story" or "not a farm, lol" when deciding which arcs to play.


Arc 55669 - Tales of the PPD: One Hell of a Deal (video trailer)
Arc 64511 - The Wrecking Ball
Arc 1745 - The Trouble With Trimbles
Arc 302901 - HappyCorpse

Good.... I like this.

yes, I would REALLY like to be able to see - both for my own arcs and others - That Arc A has 4 stars, but it got mostly 4 and five stars, but one guy rated it a one, and arc B has 3 stars, but it got rated mostly 2 and 3, but one person(probalby his other account) rated it a 5.

It would be informative.
