    The name says it all, I'm not sure if many people know about these holes. There are quite a few unescapable
    holes of lava in the map Polyphemus, I'm sure I'm not the only one who has lost good stuff to these, including killstreaks and more.
    This has ended my life with full D and maxed tier 4 many times. The screenshot is an example of me losing full D and good weapons.

    These holes simply ruin the game and tick you off. They have no point what so ever.
    @Myortvye please cover up these pits.

    I think that these are quite a good addition because if you get stuck, there's no going back. That's why it also makes you a bit nervous when walking around which adds the excitement. I can see what you mean about it being annoying, but I think you must keep at a lookout at your feet at all times lol. Plus I'm sure there are hundreds of people that do the exact same thing (me included). :smile:

    The extra excitement doesn't make the bad part of these worth it.

    That is also true
    Solution: Don't run into them.

    The are random and hidden. During combat you can't check every block you step on.

    While I agree they're annoying, I like how they force you to play more carefully.

    Indeed, but the tiny but if extra intensity isn't worth the bad part, as I said before.

    I have explained before how the simple idea of a fun trap isn't worth the overall effecT on the victim. It may be a trap, but what happens when you fall in? It ruins the game for people. 13 times is the total of how many times I have lost full D in these pits.

    By myself, I never felt in those lava traps before. You just need to watch out a bit.
    But I agree with the fact that it's about fighting each other, and not dying by a trap.

    I'll remain neutral. Though it forces more careful play, it can get annoying.

    Meh, I like random lava holes. It makes people watch where they walk.

    I personally like these as it makes me feel like I have to focus more, it adds more challenge and eliminates the competition. This just makes it difficult which I like.

    Come back once you all have had this happen to yoirself 20+ times with full D. Then we will talk.
    The little "extra bit of intensity, or we get to play more carefully" is totally not worth how many people are going to get upset. If this hasn't happened to you, I don't trust your judgement.
    It simply ruins the game when it actually happens, your only thinking about the good part and how to avoid the bad part. When the bad part happens to you with full D and full tier 4, you will understand.

    This has happened to me in that scenario, but I let it past, it doesn't matter it's only a game and you can start another round, only 1 person wins a round and it won't always be you.

    If you had this happen to you 20 or more times with full D, then it's your problem and I don't know how you're playing. Sorry.

    They're extremely easy to avoid as all you have to do is be careful where you walk. They provide an extra challenge to the map. If you die by these, shrug it off and play another game.

    Ah yes, they are hidden but when you get in a 5 block radius near them, they stick out pretty well.

    I myself have fallen into them one or two times but other than that, they are easy to avoid. I can understand you falling into them if you were in a fight or such and needed and ran right into them.

    There are fakes that are 1-2 blocks deep and have nothing in them, or they are in the thick forest and are impossible to see, those are the traps. They do the opposite of stick out.
