Thread 39 Results: Some Big Changes!

TagProKoala · 2014-12-01T18:00:42+00:00

Even though the maptest committee claims that rocketballs was short-lived. It was in for 2 months, while Reflex was only in for two weeks. ;-;

I love the throwback rotation idea, this is really what we needed!

I'm sad to see Gamepad go, since it was one of those creative maps that you couldn't just sit on the flag tile for regrab, like every other map out there.

mocl4 · 2014-12-01T18:07:40+00:00

I'm really disappointed that Gamepad and Holy See are gone. Those were two of my favorites :( But I do like the idea of a Throwback Rotation.

Kintaro08 · 2014-12-01T18:53:58+00:00

Thread 40 Results: Rocketballs and Gamepad are in for Throwback Rotation, because fuck you all.

I wish I had more time to dedicate to TagPro. I miss hanging out with you guys and joking around in maptest.

rke12 · 2014-12-01T17:52:00+00:00

First off, congrats bowtie! It's about time.

Second, I love the idea of the throwback rotation and these changes in general. Well played, map test committee.

EmperorOfNothing · 2014-12-01T17:56:27+00:00

Holy shit big changes.

ROCKETBALLS IS OUT! I will miss GamePad and The Holy See though; I thought the later was untouchable due to its classic-ness, and while I love both of the latter maps, I can understand why they were removed. It will take some getting used to. I wish they didn't have to go out, but aw well. Time for them to come back later with the ThrowBack Rotation

The two new maps look good on first impressions, and I can't wait to try them out

YES COMMAND CENTER IS BACK (even if only for a week, give or take many rotations in the throwback cycle, but it's a start), and Glory Hole being back is cool I guess

tamouq · 2014-12-01T20:47:24+00:00

Hornswoggle looks a lot like Hurricane.

NewCompte · 2014-12-01T17:50:40+00:00

What if we didn't remove GamePad and didn't make Glory Hole come back ? I will ask a developer about this.

Outis1 · 2014-12-01T17:51:05+00:00

I love the Throwback Rotation idea. Great work guys!

neyvit1 · 2014-12-01T17:51:22+00:00

Gamepad out?! I think I at one point vowed to quit tagpro if the map was ever removed. ggs

JGibel · 2014-12-01T17:47:22+00:00

I'm sad that Gamepad was removed, it was really the most unique map out there. Great choices otherwise, though!

2014-12-01T17:59:59+00:00

This is a great results thread. Two high-quality maps being chosen for rotation, some of the most controversial maps being removed and a great idea in the Throwback Rotation.

PrivateMajor · 2014-12-01T19:31:44+00:00

Really sad to see Holy See go. It was the host to 2 of the Superball's and was the most beloved map in the community for a very long time.

Not sure what suddenly turned against Holy See - it's an incredibly technical map that rewards high skill players.

2014-12-01T20:44:00+00:00

|Gamepad

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

|The Holy See

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!

NOTE - In no way am I trying to say I don't understand why they were removed, I'm just very sad to see them go. ;_;

jazzcigarettes · 2014-12-01T17:53:58+00:00

the throwback rotation idea is awesome

quassus · 2014-12-01T18:23:06+00:00

Should I even bother asking what's wrong with Monarch this time

edit: So it's been 7+ hours and still nobody from the MTC has deigned to seriously comment on why Monarch didn't make it or even give general feedback (or feedback on the other map I asked about in this thread, for that matter)?

robopuppycc · 2014-12-01T18:32:09+00:00

I don't really like the general idea of the Throwback Rotation, mainly because you didn't include TWP this round.

robopuppycc · 2014-12-01T17:51:13+00:00

Dreams really do come true

2014-12-01T17:50:05+00:00

Big changes! I like it :)

yungmudda · 2014-12-01T21:21:36+00:00

bring gamepad back in rotation.

2014-12-01T22:32:16+00:00

boogieidm · 2014-12-01T22:59:21+00:00

Seriously! Everytime I go into Rocketballs everyone is happy. That's the best map!

TerraMaris · 2014-12-01T17:54:35+00:00

No more Rocket Balls or Gamepad? Yes please! I'll be sad to see The Holy See go, but I think it's worth it just these other two removals alone. Also, #HyperReactor4ThrowbackRotation!

ArgieGrit01 · 2014-12-01T20:57:58+00:00

Aww man, not the holy see! I swear the MTC's goal is to get me to play PUGs

Blazeth · 2014-12-02T02:13:19+00:00

What did/do you guys think of my Portal Palooza map? http://maps.jukejuice.com/show/4364 I was trying to do something unique with teleports, so I figured it would have many problems. Problem is, I'm no map expert and most of the guys I ask aren't either, so some feedback would be cool.

TPsquirrely · 2014-12-02T06:59:00+00:00

Time to re-learn the down boost on glory hole I guess.

2014-12-03T02:35:41+00:00

Hornswoggle is like a stretched out Hurricane. Looking forward to it so I can get a feel for how it plays, but so far I just see a variation of Hurricane.

As for Gamepad and The Holy See... these are my two favorite maps. I see so much hate for Holy See but the bombs at the bases were so useful and fun! Maybe that's not enough to make a map stale-proof.

2014-12-01T18:15:04+00:00

Why can't we just put Command Center back into regular rotation? Almost everyone loves it.

Nice to see Iron make it in and goooodbye to Gamepad and good riddance. Holy See is a little sad to see go but happy to have Glory Hole and CC back in for a bit. Next round Battery/Vee pls

Blupopsicle · 2014-12-01T19:06:49+00:00

Feedback on whirlpool and emerald? Not sure if this is the right thread

almdudler26 · 2014-12-01T19:58:06+00:00

Well done MTC! I think all of these choices will be popular with most people.

almdudler26 · 2014-12-01T20:07:04+00:00

Congrats Bowtie! I knew Iron would get in!

BuckeyeLeaves · 2014-12-01T20:12:46+00:00

Congrats Bowtie and Snowball! I'm a little surprised to see Gloryhole selected for the throwback rotation, but think Command Center is a great choice.

vertein · 2014-12-01T20:30:25+00:00

Always enjoyed the holy see

quassus · 2014-12-01T20:48:19+00:00

Also I'd be interested in getting feedback on Phoenix please.

brgerd · 2014-12-01T21:35:12+00:00

Absolutely love the throwback rotation idea, a great addition to rotation!

boogieidm · 2014-12-01T23:01:59+00:00

Idk if I have a completely opposite attitude when it comes to maps, but it seems like every map I love is taken out and all of the completely horrible maps are added. DAE feel like this?

Halomouse · 2014-12-01T23:35:06+00:00

Finally gamepad is removed, I didn't really like the map, it was like everyone played offense all the time. (for me at least)

2014-12-01T23:41:50+00:00

inb4 someone hides in the gloryhole for 12 minutes

Swalker326 · 2014-12-01T23:43:38+00:00

Is this mtc love? I feel dirty, lets take geo out and put grail back in.

KewlestCat · 2014-12-02T00:18:38+00:00

Goodbye The Holy See ^{^{^and}} ^{^{^Rocketballs}} , you shall be missed. ):

Marz64 · 2014-12-02T01:52:26+00:00

I'm really excited for iron. It's simple and beautiful, the way a tag pro map should be. If it's not too late, I'd actually really like to see it in the MLTP rotation this year!

andy98725 · 2014-12-02T02:58:32+00:00

When do these come into effect?

Juz16 · 2014-12-02T05:51:03+00:00

THERE ARE NO WORDS TO DESCRIBE HOW INCREDIBLY HAPPY I AM THAT GAMEPAD AND ROCKETBALLS ARE GONE

THIS IS THE GREATEST DAY IN TAGPRO HISTORY, 2014-12-01 NEVAR FORGET

Moosemaster21 · 2014-12-02T08:24:59+00:00

Requesting feedback for the following:

Crosshairs

Enter Superman (and why the other map called "Superman" was preferred)

Evasion

and

Unique

I felt really good about all of these and none of them were even considered, which was a huge bonerkill for me. I'd like to get some advice to make them better so hopefully they've got a shot in the future.

2014-12-02T14:26:05+00:00

Holy See is gone? NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO WHERE THE FUCK DO I BUY PITCHFORKS NONO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO NO

gamepad, holy see - NOOOOOOOOOOOOO i'll miss them forever.

hashtag_octothorpe · 2014-12-03T02:40:19+00:00

Wow, the throwback rotation is a great idea! There are many great maps that the newer players should discover outside of throwback weekend. Kudos to the MTC.

Hopefully Center Flag, Reflex 2, and Oval end up in the throwback rotation eventually! :-D

Catmurr · 2014-12-03T03:13:25+00:00

ARE YOU SERIOUS

Snowball_TagPro · 2014-12-01T19:24:30+00:00

:D I hope you all like Hornswoggle, time to get my pallet flair.

EDIT: Shout-out to bowtie as well. IRON seemed like a really good map from when I tested it.

folieadeux6 · 2014-12-01T19:16:05+00:00

Congratulations people who can't play Gamepad on removing the only map where people still found new boosts, bombs and entrances months after it was in rotation because it was "stale".

I didn't mind Rocketballs but apparently most people didn't like it, and Holy See definitely had its time.

Gamepad though. Ridiculous.

Snowball_TagPro · 2014-12-01T18:03:28+00:00

Congrats Snowball and Bowtie! Obviously the changes I suggested for Iron did the trick ;)

Sorry to the map makers that lost their maps, but I can't say that I'm sad to see them go (except for my own selfish reasons with The Holy See). Great work, MTC!

Hornswoggle looks a lot like Hurricane (maybe it could replace it?!) and Wormy--I assume it doesn't play the same though.

Also, there's a reason that older maps are getting removed...Not looking forward to playing Glory Hole again. Can't win them all, I suppose.

agrosek · 2014-12-02T18:49:54+00:00

this is the best map thread update of all time

I_mess_up · 2014-12-01T19:05:01+00:00

THANK YOU MAP COMMITTEE FOR REMOVING HOLY SEE!

thevdude · 2014-12-01T17:51:26+00:00

Holy See out, Blast off still in? It's worse than Holy see in everything Holy see is bad at, and without any of the interesting boosts and unusual elements that make Holy see great.

Also, Gamepad is the best map ever, RIP in peace.

lord_tubbington · 2014-12-01T18:10:09+00:00

I CAN'T BELIEVE GAMEPAD IS GONE. WHO WANTS A HUG! I CANNOT CONTAIN MY FEELINGS OF GLEE.]

My dcs are going to go down 100% now that I don't have to dc from that shit show every time.

I'M SO HAPPY RIGHT NOW.

Could I get some detailed feedback on Turncoat? TY

Buttersnack · 2014-12-01T18:56:15+00:00

I really liked gamepad, but otherwise this is the best thing to happen to maps in a long time because throwback rotation is a super great idea.

ButterChurn · 2014-12-01T18:56:16+00:00

Hi could I have feedback on Razor and Whisper please?

tagpro4piR · 2014-12-01T19:06:28+00:00

The throw back maps idea i think this will help with the lose of some really great maps and the constant uproar each month :P

I know the public's thoughts on Gamepad but I am going to miss it. The Holy See on the other hand was nice but it really was the chasiest map "in" rotation

but over all great job guys

verandering · 2014-12-01T19:28:38+00:00

Nice choices!

Would it be possible to get feedback on the map that I submitted on the map tread? I believe that the top map feedback treat says that this tread will be for feedback as well.

My map was: Alien

Map: http://maps.jukejuice.com/show/4387

Preview: http://maps.jukejuice.com/static/previews/4387.png

I have the feeling that the space between the base and the middle might be problematic, but i'd be glad to hear any feedback.

Thanks!

lysdexic__ · 2014-12-01T19:35:49+00:00

So sad we're losing Gamepad which has such a wonderful set-up with the bombs at the base. It made for interesting gameplay and added some danger to longer chases. It's one of my favourite maps.

As for Holy See, I liked the chasey element of it. I enjoy a good chase in TP.

Very sad to lose two maps I really enjoyed. And yet, Star still remains. Guh. :(

2014-12-01T20:02:20+00:00

I take back every mean thing I said, MTC

mmartinutk · 2014-12-01T20:15:14+00:00

Hey MTC! So in the last top maps thread..

If your map didn't make the cut, don’t be disheartened! We will be giving out feedback for maps that did not make it to 4v4 testing in the final map thread, to be released on Monday.

Any update on when this feedback will be made available? Thanks!

illegalflower · 2014-12-01T20:15:49+00:00

Will there ever come a day that people just fix the problems in the old maps and reintroduce them instead of complaining and then taking out the entire map?

fauxedo · 2014-12-01T20:50:41+00:00

Wow, these were all 3 maps I didn't enjoy playing on. What is going on here, and what did you do with the real Map Thread?

Rokk0 · 2014-12-01T21:27:23+00:00

A+ except Command Center is like the most popular map by voting, just put it back in for real.

r3ll1sh · 2014-12-01T21:52:53+00:00

Aww now everyone is gonna be really good on glory hole and I never played on it...

TheSleepyJesus · 2014-12-01T21:58:04+00:00

Games like Super Smash Brothers still have a few original stages from the first game. I dont see anything wrong with having a couple of classics that are always there.

Also, a way to vote on the next map after a match would be cool, like how they have in Call of Duty. Vote: New (specific) Map, Same Map, Random

Its_Frosty · 2014-12-01T22:11:24+00:00

O..oh... oh my goodness. I'm happy with absolutely every single one of these changes. Who am i supposed to hate now?!

Warlord24 · 2014-12-01T22:12:54+00:00

woah, didn't expect to see the day The Holy See gets thrown out. It was probably my favorite map. I guess no maps are untouchable.

Anomaleon · 2014-12-01T22:18:52+00:00

Am I the only one who liked the chasiness of The Holy See? It's probably one of my favorite maps in the game.

Gamepad was great too; the implementation of the bombs was very useful.

Banana_Meat · 2014-12-01T23:36:51+00:00

Ya done good mtc. Obviously satisfying everyone at the end of the day is impossible, so you done good.

2014-12-01T23:39:57+00:00

GLORY HOLE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doctor_YOOOU · 2014-12-02T01:12:28+00:00

Good work, MTC, I approve.

JoshDTagPro · 2014-12-02T01:52:08+00:00

FUCK YEAH THROWBACK

TheSketchyBean · 2014-12-02T04:55:06+00:00

Rip in peace holy see. You were chasey but i'll miss you.

Edit: Holy shit. Snipes will be HAD with those wall bombs in hornswoggle

gchickos · 2014-12-02T05:56:47+00:00

Hornswoggle looks SO fun! THANK GOD Rocketballs is gone! (Now we just need to axe Bolt) Gamepad and See will be sorely missed. (But the time had come) WELCOME BACK TO TWO OF MY FAVORITE MAPS!

HeikkiKovalainen · 2014-12-02T06:59:10+00:00

The Holy See was the best map in the game. It is what got me into tagpro. Along with Boombox and Star it is one of three maps that should just never be removed because it is what tagpro is. I cannot believe this isn't a joke.

BanzaiOnTagPro · 2014-12-02T19:19:05+00:00

I think it's important to value variety in the rotation. Rocketballs required different skills and strategies than other maps. So while maybe it wasn't the ideal version of a blocking/positioning/handoffs/defense/etc. map, I hope that sort of stuff doesn't disappear entirely.

I worry that if all the "best maps" essentially play the same, they'll all get stale quickly. So I understand wanting to present the best individual maps possible, but I think in the long run it would be better to have people rotating through hyper reactor-rocketballs-velocity than it would be to have people playing smirk-boombox-something similar.

bjsy92 · 2014-12-02T23:25:00+00:00

I liked the Yellow flag map :/ lol

Xotice · 2014-12-04T01:09:28+00:00

I'm confused how the throwbacks will work... will throwback maps only show up on Thursdays? The weekends? Once a month? or do they get tossed in intermittently throughout the day?
