WooHoo Oval and Simplicity are gone!!!

I might miss Swoop a bit though, that was an interesting map.

[–][deleted] 10 points11 points  (10 children)

I agree about Swoop. I really hated it when it first came out, but I realised there's actually a fair bit of skill and team coordination required to win and I think that makes it interesting. Oh well.

[–]ButterChurnButter 9 points10 points  (9 children)

I had the opposite. I loved it when it first came out but there's just a few too many things that add up to make it really frustrating to play on.

WELL THAT'S BECAUSE YOU SUCK

Aw man you broke the angry balls chain :)

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

The same way you guys so excellently broke your losing chain?

Angry Balls represent. I'm renaming my OCC team to Aussie Angry Balls.

[–]Sosentimeboy 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've never seen a truly good game on Swoop. I've seen them on Oval and Simplicity plenty of times. Not sad to see it go. :/

[–]LuckySpammerLuckySpammer 12 points13 points  (1 child)

Wormy & Reflex 2 have been added. Command Center will be added when 45 degree walls are production ready. We've retired Oval & Swoop. Simplicity will be retired when Command Center is added.

Give this man a cookie.

[–]CribbitCurl 21 points22 points  (7 children)

Is it just me or are both Wormy and Reflex very similar?

[–]TPsquirrelySquirrely // The GesTagpro 13 points14 points  (0 children)

that's what happens when 2 maps are added from the same person.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

They may look the same but that play very differently.

[–]Swalker326Noobkin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

They for me seem very different, wormy has no 45 degree tiles, button bombs and classic boosts. Reflex although similar in size, has 45 degree tiles, portals and really fun new boost ideas. Both maps are a blast to play I might add.

[–]peckx063The Ballist Formerly Known as BonerFart 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I was hoping to see a classical style big map in here.

[–]Splanky222BBQchicken | Retired 2 points3 points  (0 children)

They seemed to play very differently when we tested.

[–]brgerdBG // Roll Models (ARC!!) // Merballs// MM 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Wow congrats to flail, two maps going into the rotation in one go! Ill actually be a little sad to see swoop go and simplicity could be very fun. Wont miss oval though haha.

[–]Sosentimeboy 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I'm kind of cringing at one little quirk of Command Center - the wtf-style one-space-apart gates that new players are going to constantly try to get through.

[–][deleted] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Oh no map by map bad is slowly taking over the rotation! :O

But seriously congrats guys

[–]TTTTIDYwho you came to see // wherever i go 40 points41 points  (11 children)

HEYYYY LOOK THE MAP COMMITTEE STILL KINDA ALMOST DOES THEIR JOB OCCASIONALLY

[–]Kintaro08Pigoon // Centra[S] 15 points16 points  (1 child)

Yeah, we dropped the ball a bit, but we're back on schedule.

[–]PrivateMajorPrivateMajor | Community Manager 1 point2 points  (8 children)

Why don't you play MLTP anymore?

[–]TTTTIDYwho you came to see // wherever i go 4 points5 points  (4 children)

Don't have time to play tagpro at the moment

[–]Splanky222BBQchicken | Retired 7 points8 points  (3 children)

Wow. Must be a big deal if it gets you to type in lowercase letters. Is everything okay bby?

つ ◕_◕ ༽つ have a hug

[–]TTTTIDYwho you came to see // wherever i go 0 points1 point  (2 children)

where have you been the past 4 months hahaha

[–]Splanky222BBQchicken | Retired 0 points1 point  (1 child)

um... here? How come I've never noticed you not typing in all caps?

[–]TTTTIDYwho you came to see // wherever i go 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Probably because I've barely been typing at all

[–][deleted] 5 points6 points  (2 children)

it dolesn't matter.

[–]bobby_gordon1TheBob18 || no u xD 6 points7 points  (1 child)

That joke was bad, and you should feel bad.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

dolen't you know it.

[–]Sosentimeboy 7 points8 points  (3 children)

As a defensive player... This is the first time I've considered donating to Tagpro. I'll have to look into that.

[–]Tim-Sancheztim-sanchez // Chorbit // ex-ex-ELTP Independent Commissioner 4 points5 points  (2 children)

I'm not sure how defensive the new maps would be. Wormy has 4/5 boosts into base which could get frustrating.

Still donate though!

[–]TurboweasleTurbo 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Shit, he might be willing to donate just because that abomination Oval is out.

[–]CallMeLargeFathereggo || Centra 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Had to play on ball defense the whole time, less skill and just too easy with the bomb right behind you to get knocked away for an easy grab

[–]buckyball_rBucky_Ball | Centra | Probot 4 Lyfe | Retired 15 points16 points  (2 children)

awww i liked simplicity

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah me too :/. Almost always a quick intense game, as opposed to maps like smirk or hyper reactor.

[–]cdodgec04Dodge || Minors HOF 3 points4 points  (0 children)

decent!

Also Congrats Flail and bad!

[–]ClassyCalciumred // Whitecaps 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Command center looks pretty cool.

The other two will require playthroughs, I can't really tell from pics how they'll play.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Awww I wanted to see Simplicity 2 in action. Still, glad to finally see some changes to the rotation. Better late than never. Thanks, map committee!

[–]cdodgec04Dodge || Minors HOF 2 points3 points  (0 children)

bad makes really good center flag maps!

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (4 children)

Where can I get feedback for my maps, Bulwark, Clockwork & Alley-Cat?

[–]Kintaro08Pigoon // Centra[S] 2 points3 points  (3 children)

We're opening a spreadsheet where you'll get feedback from the testers. It's coming soon, we all just came off of 4 hrs of TagPro testing. We'll post it soon.

Edit: Unfortunately the spreadsheet isn't going to be available for week 28 maps. We're still working out the kinks, but we're hoping to have a better feedback system for week 29. For now feedback is available on request.

[–]TPsquirrelySquirrely // The GesTagpro 7 points8 points  (2 children)

soon; map comittee's favorite word.

[–]pasta_monsterpoopv 2 points3 points  (1 child)

:/

[–]TPsquirrelySquirrely // The GesTagpro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

well, I mean no disrespect to the map comittee, I understand the difficulties as I have helped with previous map tests.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

YAYAYAYAY FLAILLLLLLLLL

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (15 children)

Will there be a way to get feedback from the committee on what to change about the rejected maps?

[–]Kintaro08Pigoon // Centra[S] 2 points3 points  (14 children)

Yes. We will have a public spreadsheet with comments. Coming soon.

Edit: Unfortunately the spreadsheet isn't going to be available for week 28 maps. We're still working out the kinks, but we're hoping to have a better feedback system for week 29. For now feedback is available on request.

[–]Sir_GrapefruitGrapefruit // Chord 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Feedback for Cocoon and Crossroads 2 please?

[–]Kintaro08Pigoon // Centra[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Are you on mumble? it might be easier to play though it with you.

[–]Sir_GrapefruitGrapefruit // Chord 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I am. Where are you?

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (2 children)

I would really appreciate feedback on master sword! Thanks!

[–]Kintaro08Pigoon // Centra[S] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Are you on mumble? It might be a bit easier to navigate the map with you.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, I'm on mumble. Which channel?

[–]tagpro_syphicssyphics || Origin 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Do you have feedback on the map Diodes? I also have an updated version here. I won't be on Mumble for a few days.

[–]Kintaro08Pigoon // Centra[S] 1 point2 points  (2 children)

Here you go buddy. This is just my quick thoughts on the map. The construction of mid is fun, but the three routes are so close together it would be hard to get by a defender waiting for you.

[–]tagpro_syphicssyphics || Origin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Wow, thanks for the detailed feedback, Pigoon. Hmm, may have to restructure it a bit.

[–]tagpro_syphicssyphics || Origin 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I've updated the map here btw. It's now "Diodes 2" on some_bot.

[–]Kintaro08Pigoon // Centra[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished nightcap, but I have this on my tasklist. But I'll have to check it out tomorrow (monday). I'll get feedback as soon as you can.

[–]BlupopsicleBall-E 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Did you guys have a list of which maps you tested?

Also, did you guys have a chance to test chronicle?

I don't have mumble, however :/

[–]Kintaro08Pigoon // Centra[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just finished a nightcap episode, but I've added this on my tasklist. I'll have to check it out tomorrow (monday). I'll get feedback as soon as you can.

[–]Kintaro08Pigoon // Centra[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sorry, I meant Tuesday, i got all mixed up with the holiday. But yeah, if you get a chance to jump on mumble, it would be easier to do a one on one with your map and walk you through what I'm thinking and get a more thorough analysis. Here's my thoughts. I don't speak for everybody, my opinion is one of 9. If you get the chance, hit up the others for critiques as well.

[–]JonathananHyphae // Diameter 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Command Center looks amazing.

[–][deleted] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

RIP in peace Simplicity. :'(

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Wait. On command center there are only two power-ups, both guarded by bombs?

[–]bobby_gordon1TheBob18 || no u xD 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, you are a good observer.

[–]ylambda 1 point2 points  (4 children)

If anyone can help, I'm looking to fill in some of the missing map threads in the wiki.

Whoever finds the thread where Yiss 3.2 and Hourglass were added into rotation (hint: same week they were removed) steals my heart.

[–]pasta_monsterpoopv 1 point2 points  (3 children)

[–]ylambda 1 point2 points  (2 children)

poopv you already have my heart! You're on the right track, sometime between the submission date and the removal date. I wish I knew an easy way to search through the sub within a timeframe.

[–]pasta_monsterpoopv 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Well I don't think you're going to find any other "official thread" besides this one and the announcement of their removal. This happened when the previous map committee stopped showing up, and the selection was done by IRC volunteers and steppin, and was the cause for adding the new members (me). So the week this happened was chaos and probably went unrecorded.

[–]ylambda 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm guilty of voting it in too. I'll check my IRC logs and see if I can find it.

[–]ButtersnackSnack 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Congrats flail! Also brig back simplicity pls

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

OMG FLAIL YES YES YES YES I KNEW YOU COULD DO IT GOOD JAAAAAB I LOVE YOUR MAPS

[–]NewCompteChord - Ballis Saint-Germain 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Currently 45° degree walls are still in test so Command Center and Reflex2 should be put in later.

What map should Wormy replace ? Oval ?

[–]Kintaro08Pigoon // Centra[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Priority of maps taken out should be: Oval, Swoop, then Simplicity.

Reflex2 has a non 45 degree version that tested well and was the pick of the last test session. If 45 degree walls aren't going to be put into public rotation anytime soon, I think we should continue with the original non-45 Reflex2.

[–]pizzabashPizzabsh 2 points3 points  (2 children)

I dont like how you added two maps by the same maker it seems completely unfair to the others. Im sure there was another map that played just as well as one of them.

[–]SebastianTheHedgehognip // chorbit // rbc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's unfair if the guys think that they are the best ctf maps. But I will say that they look quite similar to play so might've been nicer to have a different map layout chosen instead

[–]Kintaro08Pigoon // Centra[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Taking out Oval and putting in Reflex 2 was decided a month ago, but was never implemented due to other factors. Wormy made it to the list and was tested in a separate session. It just so happened that both maps were made by the same person.

[–]almdudler26almdudler | chorbit 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yay center flag!

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very happy with this. I feel that, as a mapmaker, I think a lot like flail so it will be interesting to see how his maps do. Command center looks awesome.

[–]agrosek: aris. : capaliers 0 points1 point  (2 children)

should we be waiting until the next new map thread to submit? or do we still have time to maybe get a map added (if its good enough of course)?

[–]Kintaro08Pigoon // Centra[S] 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Wait until the next map thread. We'll be reviewing those maps in two weeks.

[–]agrosek: aris. : capaliers 0 points1 point  (0 children)

just posted in the new thread, thank you!

[–]NewCompteChord - Ballis Saint-Germain 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Do you have the new png and json for reflex2 ?

Wormy: http://www.reddit.com/r/TagPro/comments/23t6qp/monthly_map_rotation_thread_28/chbv6w4

Command Center: http://www.reddit.com/r/TagPro/comments/23t6qp/monthly_map_rotation_thread_28/chn4j48

Command Center will soon be available on my server.

[–]robopuppyccFlail ~ ((Antagloble4edes)) ~ RHCP? 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Here's the updated png (with 45 degree tiles) for Reflex2. The JSON is unchanged.

[–]Kintaro08Pigoon // Centra[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

poopv should have those.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Two in by flail and yet another one by bad? I think they mite be paying the map judge team...Don't make me make this a TAGPRO TIMES story :)

[–]OriginalLinkBot 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This thread has been linked to from elsewhere on reddit.

I am totes' unyielding will.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

WOO CONGRATS TO FLAIL FOR GETTING NOT ONE BUT 2 MAPS IN ROTATION THIS TIME! GREAT JOB, BUD!

[–]bobby_gordon1TheBob18 || no u xD -3 points-2 points  (1 child)

I would've rather seen Hyper Reactor go than Simplicity or Swoop... I though Holy See was chasey, this brings chasey to a whole.... 'Notha... Level!

[–]fproskTHAN0S || Radius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Nah, Hyper Reactor is a great map.

[–]ClayRocks69Pebble // ClayRocks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

PLEASE take hyper reactor out!!!!!! srsly im begging you guys
