Complete Blackout XL

Block colours don't go together and will hurt players eyes. Don't see many gameplay changes either.

 

@GoToBed(edit: your original post was) was offensive and unconstructive.

@DaddyCheesy
Looking at the pictures the only changes I really see are aesthetic; there aren't many major gameplay changes...
I like the water v fire theme you were going for, but the colors do clash pretty unpleasantly...
The mixed blocks in the walls would probably look better in the terrain, and even then it's best to not have a balanced dispersion, especially when using an ore block, a terrain block, and a structure block.

 

To all players:
I would recommend seeing the map with your own eyes. Its quite a lot of gameplay changes besides from the older ones. Map ID: 380235
Or type /find Blackout (XL) ingame.

 

Idk I kinda like it, the water v. fire theme is good idea, and I can picture it being a mainstream map.

 

Not at all aesthetically pleasing, blocks used in the design do not go well together, especially if a completely different variety of blocks is used on another side of the map. Overuse of netherbrick/prismarine. Floor looks pretty bland, would suggest pathways on the ground.

I'd focus on changing the mixture of blocks used and not changing the style of the map for the opposing team. Color codes are fine, but color coding an entire side and style does not work.

 

Stop making Blackout maps
there's 10 of them already and every hecking match or even regular game you get a blackout map or lookalike...
Think of some new ideas pls

 

That isn't rude, he is stating what he believes to be true and trying to state in a timely manner instead of trying to sugarcoat it.

 

He edited his post, but before it was an unconstructive "no offense" remark .

 

The palette feels a bit busy, might look nicer to tone down the colors you're using a bit.

 

The problem with having two sides be so highly contrasted is that it unbalances gameplay. The lighter block means less light absorption by the color, and and it's easier to see where players are.

This makes the map asymmetrical.

Aside from that, hard block mixes are hard on the eyes in general, it's recommended to keep hard block mixes to a minimum on maps. Usually it's reserved for pathing, but even then it looks better when it's placed intentionally or used as a gradient between two changing colors.

Also:


Interesting fire vs water concept, though. I like the idea behind it.

 

You've managed to make blackout uglier. Gj

 

This reminds me of a map I helped make a while back called The Elements

 

This map is the equivalent of mixing surströmmings with milk of magnesia

its bloody disgusting

 

I think my head just blacked-out xD

 

I like the contrast in colors, really brings out the Death..
