Other Wave XII Feedback Thread

The Martian map has some kind of boxes in the flagroom, flagcarriers can glitch on them making it hard to recove.

Additional feedback

Good changes to Rocky Ruins @GalaThundR, I got to play it today and it plays better. Fewer headshots, cleaner movement.

Dragon Valley V - navigation in the back corners of the map next to the flag room is difficult. Only one part of the small underground part allows for jump-running, and it's easy to get caught on blocks. There is a bit too much terrain elevation in that corner; I think filling it in would help. Having to jump up 2-3 dirt blocks to get into the flag room is kind of a pain as well, and I think you could level it or use stairs/slabs to reduce jumping. Also, the path to the flag room (when running straight down that left side of the map) sometimes has objects in the way of the path. You could use .//move to nudge things over a block. @Dan_7777777

Academy II - Good map overall, and pretty. I wasn't expecting the other Academy to be taken out of rotation, and now I'm starting to miss having grass on the map. It's just a weird personal preference, the sound of running on dirt makes the experience different from the original. It's not a problem, though, lol @Daniellll @sportyman56

Martian outpost is one I haven't figured out yet. I feel like something needs to be adjusted. Spawn might be too close to flag room? idk, i'll keep trying different classes on it.

Not this wave:
Harvest I: Spawn too close to flag room. Constant assassin respawns.

-------------------------
UPDATE
Whoo got onto Martian Outpost and found some things that can be worked on:

Spoiler: Martian Outpost

Flag room doorway adjustment: Either move this doorway to the right by 5 blocks, or move it and widen it.
Even if it's moved the hall + corner is still long enough to prevent too much ghosting.

Spoiler: mmmmmmages

That hall, btw, is mageland, but I'm not sure if it should be adjusted.
[[mageland]]

Building is hard to reach the roof of, and non-soldier classes could use more flexibility in movement.

Add sponge or ladder here:


Ladders here (in flagroom) and punch a hole to reach roof:


Ladder either on this or the side of this:


Possible ladder here:


[[or alternatively from that^, here]]






Small blocks I tripped on:





And this ledge is purely an archer snipe spot. Lower by 6ish blocks, reskin the bottom of it to these colors if you want to keep the theme like this.

 

You should pin this thread @b0squet

 

1130 needs restrictions in

stairs to flag room from below

stairs to flag room from above

 

isn't this a fun feature of the map? xdddd

 

@Dan_7777777 @EddKrumbs @November @Dokkedal @otherbuildersofDragonValleyV @Trego_7777777 @AlexisRose @Aykaka @cptcliff @ningeek212 @xxMineSheepxx @Xelasi @NomNuggetNom @Finnerdt

Why is the entire area around spawn blocked off to structures? There's no point in blocking off everything around spawn. There's no strategic value there.

Edit: Why the **** did you use cobble monster egg in all the paths?

Edit #2: Since it was apparently Dan's idea to do monster egg every****ingwhere, can @Miskey or @b0squet or @Nohox or @wintergreen3 remove it except where absolutely necessary?

 

That was @Dan_7777777's idea

 

Because **** engineer

 

Restrictions were created to prevent structures from being placed in areas that would significantly ruin gameplay (for example, the flag room), not everywhere because you don't like a class.

Edit:
I suppose dan isn't too bad.

 

This escalated quickly

 

Man I am SO funny

 

This needs restrictions on 220793... what kind of sick person would put their turret there? Oh, wait...



also here

 

I don't understand why almost the entirety of Valley of Siege is restricted from structures. I hate engineers, too, but its a bit overkill to render this class completely useless.

@GalaThundR

 

Hm. I don't remember restricting the area around spawn (bc I wanted to make sure engineers could place their teleporters) ... I'll remember to look into it

 

I thought I only restricted the tunnel, spawn, and flagroom / area above flagroom. The restrictions shouldn't be too different from Valley of Ruin.

 

Spoiler: Picture

Please add restrictions for turrets/teleporters etc to staircases in Sphinxes. You can't really get out of the flagroom without being shot one or two times and it's annoying (the picture is in the spoiler)

 

fixed
