Why is Skyglass bad?

Skyglass is not a bad map, but I feel that the map is very linear and that makes for some stale gameplay.

 

i like it cuz i dwarf heavy's

 

Skyglass isn't my favorite map to play on, that's only because I'm an archer. Other than that, this map is pretty good. I'm assuming this thread is in response to @Admiral_Trump 's comments on it earlier.

 

I personally enjoy skyglass

 

It's bad 'cause you made it, duh.

 

If you can somehow make the the underground relevant and be used that would be an improvement also connect the 2 sides so there's more "diversity".

 

Aesthetically it's not good, quartz with pine trees? I don't rlly like gameplay to much coz a lot of soldiers just dummy up and down and if u get to the sponge tower u have basically capped cos it takes u to spawn sponge.

 

Flagroom roof is too high, water in the flagroom, too many flagroom entries, flag in the middle of the flagroom in a flagroom with too many entries, and there are too many sponges.

Also a ninja can pearl straight up and glitch into the glass right after stealing the flag.

Yep. The undergound is pretty much just for running the flag, otherwise it doesn't seem to be used much; pathways above the void doesn't provide much of a place for midfielders to roam, i.e. Opposites Collide. Also, the entrances to the underground are at the beginning and end of the paths, so following a flag carrier above ground is just as if not more ineffective as following them underground. I suggest making the caves much larger, providing for much larger platforms for running around. I'd also suggest, after clearing space, putting some sponges at the bottom of the entrance that you find right after sponging into midfield.

I'd say the mid looks/feels a little weird because of the water pit. It's really hard to cross, and simply can't be crossed at mid without elf, soldier, or ninja. I don't really think it's necessary, since water already takes long enough to cross. In fact I'm not really sure the water is necessary at all. If it were removed, I think the map would feel a little more spacious.

For the flag room, ye, it could be better. I think it could be better if you just kept everything the same, except you move the flag to the corner where you currently drop in from the roof (not actually in the corner, leave at 1 block gap or so between post and wall), then make a more open drop-in point above where the flag originally was (closing off the original drop-in). The hallways are also a little long, lots of people die in them... idk if that's an intentional map mechanic, since the stairs to freedom are right outside of the flag room, but maybe they could be shortened a little.

That too.

Overall, I don't mind every time Skyglass comes about in the rotation. I don't like or dislike it. My only real complaint is that it's pretty awkward for archers, but I suppose that's a good thing with the class's power

 

Gameplay wise it reminds me of Discovery, it's not that bad. I just don't fancy the looks of it, because I feel it is hard to navigate the map effectively.

 

haven't played ctf much recently, but i've been on this map a few times and personally i like it

 

The underground needs to be less useless and the aesthetics need to be worked on. Quartz is a pretty terrible building material.

 

it doesnt have a purpose. if you removed it from the map the gameplay would hardly change. all it means is flag carriers can use it with little problems from recov
