Should the scene located at -77,71 be removed from the Point of Interest list?
Nothing seems to be going on, silence
Black screen
No schedules of movies or performances
No information or something to interact with
Build last time updated: 03/11/2022
@hueppow, hey!
Just wondering why the super spam of removing and adding POI’s? I get adding but DCL is so dead, why not just consider leaving any POIs just be?
Also, why should this be related to governance?
Iconic building that should stay as a point of interest for historical significance.
Hi @DedHeadJ thanks for asking. POIs spam on DCL map with a broken or abandoned builds that IMO far from qualifying to actually have an icon on the map to get the attention of new users or just broken or abadoned. If someone new come and he will jump to random POI he will be most likely disappointed thinking that was actually something amazing here and the rest is not so impressive, when in reality that we have now - its the opposite. There’s a lot places in DCL with proper working builds , info, links, audio, events, community and they don’t have a POI. POI have to be a top working builds.
In my opinion its super wrong, that places got POI and authors just left them in visible dust, someone who will like to apply for POI will see them as an example and will have no motivation to justify, and then after rejection on forum - this person will going to think this place is corrupted, because other places that don’t justifying have a POI and besides the theory of it, i did see that happened once here, around the winter time with one person, and its can be a formula which unfortunately not gonna be considered, like it wasn’t before.
Besides there was huge problem with POI on DCL map, 90% of the Estates had POI located hidden, not on the right spot, and anyone have to check every square to get the right coordinates to create a proposal - that was a reason for spam. It took to put nerves in the box and just keep the ride with a bricks, wishing it will be over soon
The POIs should show up current or recent alive places, as an Ad on the map with a highlight and these places should have info and have no problems with being old updated, so objects around can work properly and provide any kind of interaction with a new user and not give any disappointment
Also authors / people / communitys can comment on proposals why the POI should stay > or Authors can re-apply to show that the place is active and things are working or fixed
If someone got into DCL recent days by algorithm of suggestions, especially in such a condition like now, this user better to be not dissapointed about builds that are highlighted on the map as something outstanding and top
I see that DCL 2.0 is on the way, Alpha already middle of this summer and the best time to make actual interactive alive places with POI much more visible to be as something presentable and rare on the map or refresh dusty builds - is now.
Hi Huepow, thank you for your thoughtful reply. In this case I agree with Billy, this may classify as a Legacy POI. Voting No.
Im not sure the historical or legacy significance here but to make it easier on some if not able to see what it looks like here are a few snaps.
For those who don’t know. This is one of the oldest scenes in Decentraland. It was created as a joint effort between Vegas City and Decentral Games with the modelling having been done in 2019 with first designs even earlier than that.
It has been re-developed multiple times according to when pre-foundation Decentraland, and Decentraland Foundation have made breaking changes to the SDK but the venue is still live and functional. It is scheduled to be updated to SDK7. A content management system controls the screen and it does not need to be redeployed to use the venue.
It was last used about 18 months ago with an event for Vogue. But a lack of demand from brands and individuals means we haven’t run any events on here for a while - but that doesn’t mean it’s history is suddenly wiped, or it’s active status revoked.
This proposal is a gross dispect to 1/ me personally. Who has been working tirelessly in the decentraland eco system since September 2017, 2/ the vegas city team who still maintain the back end that runs this and who still persevere to maintain much content in Decentraland in spite of the difficulties in the wide metaverse and crypto spaces in 2023, and 3/ the 800 contributors to Vegas City, of whom 20% recently engaged in our private district snapshot.
Just because venue isn’t showing a live even, it doesn’t mean it should be removed from the POI. Life is full of different perspectives and while this may not be of interesting to some, to others this would be seen as an essential POI.
Hi James, would be great to see an updated build with such an information in it, at least something to read up there
Beside “groos” part of course
Otherwise, how can other people, especially new comers know that while exploring the build? Would it make more sense to put this information close to entrance , so the upcoming experience can provide a meaning to it? There is in a literal sense no information about it
I respect that comment, but that is not really a valid reason for suggest removing it as a POI.
It is an active working venue and can still be used by those who wish.
A tour guide could spend an hour talking about what has gone on in this venue.
Historical buildings don’t need to explain themselves to be a true curiosity with a story behind them.
This will get updated in due course when it gets its turn to be updated to SDK7, but no time will be spent on it before that update happens and that will only happen when the team have time to do it. There are other more pressing venues that have to be dealt with first and some of the most complex scenes in this district have taken months of man hours to resolve in SDK7 - so between now and then, for all time, it will always be of importance in the history of DCL.
Its fair enough to do make these proposals and for sure some will be justified, but if you are going to suggest removing things from the map then you should know about them and present the facts and the history, not judge them subjectively on face value as seen at a moment in time.
@james thank you for explaining to us what provides an historical value to this building; I’m pretty new and didnt know that
The building itself is pretty cool and can be a showcase for usecase of a land; i would suggest to add somewhere a text that explain the history behind it
Considering the building quality, the transition to SDK7, the historical value I’m going to vote to keep it at POI
Remove the location -77,71 from the Points of Interest
This proposal is now in status: REJECTED.
