Starlight Celebration Comic Strip Contest (NA) - Discussion Thread

Probably a silly question, but having other characters in addition to our own in the screenshots would be acceptable, yes?

Yes, that's totally fine! Good luck on your entry!

Its not new, It was in the hairstyle design prizes.
Just really.. seeing these same prizes for every single contest is a little more than depressing.. especially for a Christmas inspired one.
Nothing says "Hey! I won a Christmas contest!" like an Ahriman choker..

One of the main reasons we continue to offer previously available prizes, in addition to the Noble Barding making its second-ever appearance, is because these items remain extremely rare. We've so far seen positive results in allowing users to select their prize as well, as you can choose the one you're most interested in.

Bayohne,

If we have additional characters helping with our screenshots for our comic can we list their names/prize choice along with ours (if we win, they win) as we have in multiple other contests? Or are the prizes restricted to just our character regardless of who else helps with the screenshots?

Sorry, but no. Entries are only counted for the person entering the contest.

just a quick test I wanted to make sure the pic would work, and wasn't to big.

How many people at a time do you want us to put us in the screenshots?

[Lucas_Angelini]

I just posted mine with a seasonal greeting. It's not much, but it will do. Wish me luck! And best of luck to those that are entering.

I may be a worrywart, but I had a few questions since we are able to do limited editing of the screenshots.
1) Cropping is clearly allowed in the rules, but is combining our screens into a single image file also allowed or do we need to post 4 separate images?
2) If combining images are allowed, are we allowed to add our own comic strip boarders?
3) It says caption boxes may be added at the bottom of the screenshot, can we add it in the top or corner too?

editing due to limit.

not sure if it counts for na too, but someone on the eu side asked simular things. that was their response.

guess it won't let us edit these posts. as for the above post this is the quote.

Hello Kacho_Nacho,



There is no size limit in terms of resolution. Given that screenshots are to be used, which are allowed to be cropped, we expect and number of size combinations up to 1920x1080 (and more) per image. In other words – it’s up to you.



Please submit the comic in the form of four screenshots that have been minimally edited – outlining the speech bubbles should be fine. The rules for the contest have been made with simplicity in mind to give everyone the same chances, no matter their level of skill.

From the rules:
“Submit four screenshots related to the theme of Starlight Celebration (an in-game seasonal event) with speech bubbles and/or brief captions (“Text”) and post them in the dedicated contest participation thread”

But we’re sure you’ll make something nice out of that as well – it’s the content that counts, after all
