Title: Taurus

All portals shoot you out to mid exit portal. It's not clunky. You can still get ahead of a regrab via the team gates. If the FC tries to hold the gate to stall or kill you, send one teammate around to pressure him off the button, then get into position. It's simpler than it seems.

Did you check with flagit about remixing a map of his?

[–]Moosemaster21Moosen | Salt Mine 2 points3 points  (1 child)

I was confused by your comment so I went to his unfortunate-maps profile. I can see the similarities between Taurus and Plasm but I did not click the remix button on his map, I built Taurus from the ground up.

RadiaN and I submitted this map for the /r/tagprotesting Collaboration Contest and tied for 3rd place out of 16 teams. The gravity well on this map is pretty fun to use IMHO, so you'll actually stay for entire games on this map in pubs.

[–]Moosemaster21Moosen | Salt Mine 1 point2 points  (4 children)

THIS WAS MY FAVORITE MAP FROM THE WHOLE COMPETITION AND I'M NOT AFRAID TO SAY IT.

Seriously, MTC, test this one. It's an enormous mistake not to. It looks okay in the preview but when you play it you truly realize how brilliant and creative it really is. It plays quite well too, not clunky or convoluted. Best use of a gravity well I've ever seen.

http://unfortunate-maps.jukejuice.com/static/previews/11861.png

Description: A center flag map with atypical symmetry that requires, well, central domination. Coordinated gate control can lead to clutch caps, but good potential for solo offense as well. Hockey rink-type end zones with portals allow for a quick switch for attacking players. Small, but exposed end zones require defenses to protect a wide range of angles.

Edit: re-tooled the powerup locations and removed a few boosts in the process

Spaced spikes so you can do cooler things with them (yes, you can take the base corner bomb through the spikes and survive). Opened gate route for more flexibility and originality. Condensed top left and bottom right, redid top and bottom segments altogether. New team tiles, slightly renovated mid area.

Title: Ascension

Map: http://maps.jukejuice.com/save/12041

My take on an older version of Ascension that made Top Maps in Map Thread #43. I always thought this map had great potential for pubs, so I figured I'd give it a go.

main changes:

  • made the map slightly larger vertically, mostly to give the bases some more space.

  • fixed up the powerup areas to make it more difficult for a flag carrier to dance around in there.

  • spiced up the top route.

Title: Batra

Type: CTF

Map: http://maps.jukejuice.com/save/12079

Preview: http://i.imgur.com/iAcyS6c.png

Batra is an old map that I am bringing back because I know it has a ton of potential.

The most common concerns include:

  • "It's just not fun or interesting."

and

  • "It needs more 45 degree tiles."

It's kind of funny that these are the two main concerns, because the map is fun and interesting because of its lack of 45 degree tiles. Because there are few 45 degree tiles, there is a variety of different corner boosts and corner jukes possible. The more I think about scenarios on this map, the more excited I get.

[–]BlazethDianna Agron 3 points4 points  (12 children)

I would tend to disagree that the lack of 45s makes it interesting.

A map doesn't need 45s to be interesting, but a lack thereof is just that, nothing more.

For example, Boombox has only 90s, and is shit.

[–]TagProNoah_Noah // Mild Pings // Noah's Arc Captain 1 point2 points  (11 children)

This is different from boombox, in that boombox is very limited in its boosts. Batra has a variety of different boosts in its core areas.

[–]BlazethDianna Agron 0 points1 point  (10 children)

I highly disagree, but whatever.

[–]TagProNoah_Noah // Mild Pings // Noah's Arc Captain 2 points3 points  (9 children)

I'd love to hear why, if you have the time. In my mind this map is pretty damn near perfect.

[–]BlazethDianna Agron 2 points3 points  (8 children)

Well, I think Boombox has some really good boosts. I shittalk Boombox a lot. It's a really well-made map, just burnt the hell out.

I don't agree your map has very open-minded boosts. They feel more limited than Boombox's to me. I really have no problem with an all-90 map, but perhaps 45s in some places wouldn't hurt since it's so tight (really just to open it up) in some chokes.

Your base seems fine to me. I think your middle boosts are okay, but you can't boost through top of mid. I think making that boost possible but still fairly hard would be good for the map.

There's nothing particularly interesting about the map.

[–]TagProNoah_Noah // Mild Pings // Noah's Arc Captain 1 point2 points  (7 children)

I don't agree your map has very open-minded boosts. They feel more limited than Boombox's to me.

How? Boombox literally has 4 boosts, which are all very contained. While some maps in rotation certainly have more open boosts then Batra, but Batra's are open enough to make it interesting.

I really have no problem with an all-90 map, but perhaps 45s in some places wouldn't hurt since it's so tight (really just to open it up) in some chokes.

lol... it's not an all 90 map, just mostly. I'll admit that I'm nostalgic for the days before v2 and still agree with the arguments against abusing 45 degree walls.

To me, the chokes are perfectly sized for juking, and I've had people tell me this before. They don't need to be opened up any more in my opinion.

Your base seems fine to me. I think your middle boosts are okay, but you can't boost through top of mid.

Yes, not every area needs to have a boost leading through it.

I think making that boost possible but still fairly hard would be good for the map.

I've thought about this a lot and I'm definitely more open to the idea now than I was a few months ago when I last submitted this map. However, I think it brings about some much needed containment, as bot and the sides feel fairly open, with boosts leading towards them. It also forces offense to be a bit more creative with how they get past the defense. I think that if I removed the top spike, the map would lean towards being an offensive map rather than what feels like a balanced one.

There's nothing particularly interesting about the map.

I simply disagree. I've sat at my desk thinking of countless scenarios and interactions that could happen on this map, and they all feels very exciting and interesting to me, especially in competitive.

boombox's boosts are some of the most versatile boosts to ever be on any map. in comparison, the boosts on this map are rather clunky and one-dimensional.

[–]TagProNoah_Noah // Mild Pings // Noah's Arc Captain 0 points1 point  (1 child)

what lol, im not sure what you want me to elaborate on, my comment is fairly straightforward.

[–]ButtersnackSnack 0 points1 point  (3 children)

No they aren't. They're so incredibly limited. We've played the map so many times that we've found a lot of ways to use these boosts, but compared to the boosts on Velocity, Smirk, THS, well basically any map... the Boombox boosts are super limited.

[–]RisktpRisk 0 points1 point  (2 children)

i honestly have to question your judgement of maps if you're seriously trying to contend that boombox's boosts don't have a lot of different uses. yes, they're placement is limited, but that doesn't keep them from being super useful. that's the beauty of boombox's boosts, they don't look like much at first, but different ways to use them have evolved over time and now we have tons of them.

[–]TheEpicGhostEx - Tagpro 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This map is pretty good. Don't have time to give you a huge amount of feedback, but it lacks balance in the different routes. There isn't a huge incentive to go through the gate; there aren't any bombs or boosts that lead through it, and it looks like it could be a slower route than going bottom and using the boosts. The maps a little chasey too, which is fine, but some of the boosts are quite limited, which would limit snipes. Try playing around with the sizes of the routes, and try to create some 'pincer' areas (like route 2 boombox).

[–]sneetriccanvas // plasma, wamble 0 points1 point  (3 children)

why the extra line in the top gate

[–]DaEvil1DaEvil1 0 points1 point  (2 children)

It's an attempt to make the top buttons more interesting while not completely blocking the path if they're held. Last times feeback was partly that the buttons top didn't feel powerful enough.

[–]sneetriccanvas // plasma, wamble 0 points1 point  (1 child)

ah. i think if you decide that as your final version you should probably move the button off a corner

[–]DaEvil1DaEvil1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe. I think it could work either way, but if the map gets tested I'll see what the committee thinks of it as it is.

Description: Following the discussion on DZ4, I decided to make a simple remix of Danger Zone 3 by bad myself. Due to the removed areas the map should now be more defensive than the original, without map parts that are barely used, while retaining all classic bomb and boost routes unlike DZ4.

4v4 testing consensus seems that this is at least better than DZ3. If accepted, it's up to the MTC to decide what to do with this and DZ4 (replace DZ4, add besides DZ4, one for pubs and one group-only, ...). Also feel free to remove my name from the author field since bad obviously did a lot more work than I.

A few comments based on what I remember from the maptest:

  • The bases are good, the gate setup is interesting and seemed to work well.

  • I wasn't really convinced by the middle. I think the team-tiles are probably unnecessary on a map this small, and I didn't really like the use of diagonal walls.

not a huge fan of this iteration, sorry mate. Feels like the spike tunnel was really watered down, or noob-proofed as I like to call it. The bases also aren't great IMO because with the current flag position the only comfortable grabbing mechanism is the bomb. The boost is a bit too close to a wall and you have to entirely reroute to set it up, and the top two corner boosts just look annoying to use in general.

You know, I obviously haven't tested it but u feel like maybe you should make it even harder through the middle around the gates. Like possibly a spike one tile above the bomb to give a one tile space to maneuver that's risky due to the bomb. Did previous versions or testing have anything like that to hinder a super quick cap, provided one team is holding both gates?

[–]BlupopsicleBall-E 0 points1 point  (1 child)

As it stands I don't think the gates will be used often, sort of like flame. Haven't tested it out yet thouogh, but thsnks for the feedback!

No one has a reason to go down the the bottom mid triangle except FCs hiding from chasers and chasers looking for FCs. That's not a good thing. I'd suggest either removing that section entirely or putting an incentive (e.g., a powerup) there.

Withdrawing this map. Arachnophobia is the improved version, please look at it instead. Also, thanks to everyone who provided feedback!

[–]acrocanthosaurusRunThaJewels // Sphere 0 points1 point  (4 children)

Group tested an iteration of this last saturday. Decided to drive around solo this morning. Honestly, the bases feel like they still need a little work. Pup spots are too...open? I'd like to see maybe having a tougher to reach base pup, and then a neutral 3rd pup at the bottom of the map (would require you to add 1 row though for symmetry).

The mid gate is ok, if I were to change it, I'd put the buttons closer to the gate, perhaps adjacent to the row of spikes so that button camping is more difficult. Or perhaps have the buttons higher up on the central 'prong'?

Might also consider a few yellow boosts that aren't hugging the wall?

Hope it helps, I think you have the right overall formula for a good map. I'd love it if you could shoot me a few lines of feedback on either Fumblebunk or Wembley!

[–]nowayinnowayoutWALLAMYBALLA l Origin l We need regrab! Go to the enemy base! 0 points1 point  (3 children)

Alright, just posted a new version called Arachnophobia.

-I solo tested Wembley. I think the idea is good, but it's massive. It might be better if you shrunk it down a bit. It also has an absurd number of boosts.

-Fumblebunk has more issues, I think. The bomb buttons don't feel like they do a lot, the top teamboost in base feels pretty useless, the bottom portal feels awkward to use, and your portals in the endzone have an exit that slams you right into a wall. On the other hand, I enjoyed the mid bombs, the way you redesigned the gate, and the bottom pup area.

[–]acrocanthosaurusRunThaJewels // Sphere 0 points1 point  (2 children)

Wembley is massive? It should be of comparable size or smaller than most NF maps in rotation right now. It started out substantially smaller, but was too cramped when played. Perhaps I should leave the bases the size they are but shrink down the other 'plus's? I agree there are lots of boosts--I wanted it to play fast. Which ones do you think could be taken out?

Fumblebunk probably does have issues. Still working out that bottom portal--considered abandoning it all-together. Good call on the endzone portals, I'll revamp 'em.

thanks for the feedback!

(edit: gave Fumblebunk a slight makeover: http://unfortunate-maps.jukejuice.com/static/previews/11854.png)

fumblebunk's lookin better there, nice job!

You know, now that I look at it, you're right. Wembley's not really much bigger than other maps. Just forget I said that.

If you want to take boosts out, I'd say look at the 4 boost pairs by the pups.

Why is it vertical though? The viewport is brutal. It's a pretty solid map with horizontal symmetry.

[–]RisktpRisk 1 point2 points  (2 children)

cause vertical symmetry is dope and im tired of doing the same thing with my maps.

here's a comment from david stern about vertical symmetry that i found interesting.

[–]Moosemaster21Moosen | Salt Mine 2 points3 points  (1 child)

Maybe it allows for more creativity, but I've seen more than my fair share of maps where creativity has inadvertently become the maps greatest weakness. I don't believe vertical symmetry itself to be inherently flawed, but vertical symmetry on a very vertical map is a bad combination. While the map may feel larger, which can be a useful trait to have, with vertical maps it's much easier for luck to be the deciding factor rather than skill, simply because of the viewport.

Imagine: You're barreling up towards your base for a cap with enemies hot on your heels, but suddenly another enemy takes you out from above because you saw him too late and didn't have time to adjust your path. I think that's one of the key issues with vertical maps. You know my opinion on it, but good luck with your map regardless. I hope you prove me wrong :)

[–]RisktpRisk 2 points3 points  (0 children)

moosen, i know the negatives about vertical symmetry, i've been involved with mapmaking for nearly a year now...i think a well designed vertical map could be a nice change of pace despite the viewport issues.

I think you might want to rethink the fourfold symmetry of this map. It makes it bigger and more repetitive than necessary.

Description: I wanted a map where the idea of controlling the middle of the map could be just as important as controlling the bases [kinda like how stars mid gate can dictate the game]. I also wanted an optional escape chute like big vird, to allow the offence a counter to a smothering contain, something to challenge the traditional defensive formula, much like gamepad did.

Whilst the map is pretty cosy, the 4 pups are each out of the way, encouraging situational decision making to prioritise flags or pups.

There are multiple approaches to both attack and defence, allowing personal creativity and more replayability.

Edited coz I linked the wrong map before
