It's a hassle to reupload this thing. Besides, there are only 3 patches that barely take any time to download.

The tier 2 levels are so hard I can't get 10 stars to go to Tier 3. Anyways, when I start to make an project, should I leave it in a difficulty of medium?

First, do you really need to quote only for say an opinion?
Second, your question is off-topic :/

For the first: I deleted the quotes.
For the second: You don't need to answer it if you want to.

Well, I guess that this is why the Tower of Biased 6 isn't that great? If Tier 2 is somewhat hard... Then that means Tier 4 is just hardcore.

Tier 4 actually wasn't too bad, just kinda long with the occasional unfair level.

Things really pick up in Tier 5 and Tier 6.

Then that means Tier 5 and 6 are the hardest levels in the Tower or Biased 6? D:

I think the levels in Tiers 5 and 6 are easier, to be honest, than the levels below that. Well there is one unfairly difficult level in Tier 5 (Balloon Blast), but that's about it. Tier 1 has an uncompletable joke level (Block Bollocks), a kaizo level (Hyper Mario 22), a mess of broken tile placement (ReetusMansLevel) and a random level with so many risky jumping (Damned if you do, damned if you don't) and Tier 2 has the suffocatingly difficult Tree of Echoes, a cryptically difficult level (Ghosted) and a level with an unfairly difficult midboss (Tectonic Temple). Tier 3 has got a level with no exit (Sweet mountain), a level whose gimmicks are complicated and gives no explanation as to what to do (Die Zitadelle von Eis und chaotischem Wetter) and a tricky minecart level (A Close Shave).

It actually starts to pick up in terms of difficulty and design when you get well into Tier 4 more than anything, despite the fact that Treacherous Temple has got a difficult boss.

Wait, how did a level with no exit get into Tier 3? In my opinion, I thought that Tier 3+ were just nice levels with an exit and other cool stuff.

Cool stuff in tier 3? May in tier 4 and up...

Same thing happened to me, was there a solution to this? Same thing also happened in Icy Vocano (elitalianoverde's level) in which collecting the 8 coin star didn't increase my counter. Upon beating the level, it stated i had only found 2/3 stars, looking through it, definitely the 8 coin star bugging out.

Also, in Expedition Foundation (Kley's level) i can't seem to find the 2nd star. Looking through the editor, the only other star i can see is the one that disappears if you get anywhere near it. If so, is it meant to be obtainable or is the star counter messed up with that level? Anyone else having these problems or am i doing it wrong...

I don't think there is a second star. The second star is actually the star that's in section 11 that the player approaches before the lava chase. The reason it's appearing as a star is because it's actually a star and not another graphic being used. If the star replaced another graphic then the star counter would read more sensibly as there being only one star.

I see, thanks for the info

Also, to those who haven't downloaded this yet: you really should. Quality wise, the levels are the best i've seen out of all the contests by a margin and the average levels aren't that long or hard so it won't take too much to get through those.

Quick msg to Quill: probably too late to say this but did you ever consider doing what ToB 4 did i.e put hidden levels at the beginning that give you an obscene number of stars, effectively giving the player the option to skip any level they didn't want to play? Probably too late to have them put in for this one i suppose. Maybe something to consider for the next contest.
