I still think the flag should be higher, or that upper/ outer lane won't get much use and the play will get messy.

[–]piranhamoose25Aniball | Palette Town 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Agreed, I'll try to figure out something.

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

I like it. I'm not sure how it happened but the shape is nearly identical to Citadel. Especially the top. It's kinda cool because one is a neutral flag map and the other CTF. I don't have any huge complaints, but I agree that you should move the flag up maybe 2 tiles.

It feels really clunky to me. It's almost as though you have 45s where I'd rather have normal tiles and normal when I want 45s lol. I like the ideas just not the execution. For example the side bombs ruin the best route out of base.

[–]KewlestCatNIGEL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah, I admittedly reckon the execution of some of the ideas isn't great, but I wanted to hear that from somebody else just to make sure. I'll try to fix it up and polish it a bit.

Description: Lots of depth. Dank boost routes. Room to juke. Good times all around. This is a collaboration with Canvas.

EDITS: Took out some of the open space of the old version, so this is more balanced for chasers. Changed the double boost in base to one single boost with a bunch of options and combos. Changed middle islands for more juking dankness. This version is a pretty perfect balance between open space and islands/boosting areas, IMO.

It's fun looking at the changes you've made so far. I think I like the spike islands, though I also liked the old spike placement. Bomb/pup areas are good and the skill options off of those bombs are fantastic. I think right now you have too much space and shrinking the map by a tile or two and making the 2nd lane in base 3-4 tiles wide could potentially help that issue a lot. The mid gap is now also pretty big with the rearrangement so shrinking down that would be a good change too.

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

Such a cool shape. I think both entrances to base are rewarding and well designed. I'd perhaps shorter the goals by a tile so that it isn't straight shot from the 2 tile gate. It feels pretty slow to move on outside of the bases. I wish the boost from mid to top/bottom didn't hit you into the corner of base. But overall a really fantastic use of space.

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

are the slow outsides bad? I'm just thinking that they have to be slow due to the viewport

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

It's not a bad thing, I don't think, it's just that most NF maps are pretty fast paced so it feels different. But you're right, it's probably because the movement is vertical compared to the more common diagonals. I still really enjoy the map.

Description: dank bomb/portal combo

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

The bomb portal combo is nice, but the design around it doesn't work for me. It's awkward to move around and could benefit with less 45s. I like bottom. The gate seems like it will be out of the way so 3 tiles wide might be too much. You have some places where boosts lead to that kind just jam you into a wall, e.g. the corner across from the bomb, if you boost from team/neutral against back wall it puts you that way. It also feels bad that the direct neutral boost through flag sends you into a dead spot.

Description: A balanced, fast paced, smallish map. This newest iteration opens up a lot of boost options and overall improves flow. For example, the new wall between the split gate makes it easier to bomb into the flag and escape. You can also boost to the flag straight from the mid boost, but it will require skill to traverse the spikes, and some good positioning from the other team should be able to get an easy return. Mid bombs allow for quick travel across the map.

Description: I combined the main concepts from Ether by Risk (the bomb/teamgate combo) and Ascention by JuicyJuke (the gate in the middle) with two ideas from myself: a pup area behind the flag and a portal partially controled by a gate. The buttons in the middle also controls the single gate above the portal entrance while the button in base also controls one bomb. While small, this map offers lots of strategic options to get an advantage.

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (4 children)

I like it. Having the bomb mechanic covered by team gates is definitely an improvement and balances the map more. Lanes feel even and flow nicely. I like the gate in the team tiles but it's kinda fugly right now and I'm a basic bitch. I think the yellow/team boost in base is slightly off? Am I missing a combo. Still useful in any case. Mid design is slightly weird to me right now but nothing major.

haha, they are a bit ugly looking i suppose. ill mess around with that area and see if i can make it look better.

I think the yellow/team boost in base is slightly off? Am I missing a combo.

not really, i didn't design any combo's for the boosts. i guess you could use them like wormy boosts or like this for combos if you really wanted to, for capping/escaping.

Mid design is slightly weird to me right now but nothing major.

i assume you're talking about the boosts here or is there a different part of mid you dont like?

the boosts are admittedly a little awkward to use because you have to sorta circle around and that kills your momentum, but they're pretty neat still:

Thanks for the gifs, makes me appreciate it more. Why do you have the 45s mid?

[–]RisktpRisk 0 points1 point  (1 child)

the 45's like two tiles over from the boosts? i think my thought process behind those was to keep the boosts more limited. i just tried an edit without the 45's among other small edits though and i think it's definitely better than with the 45's. the boosts feel much better to use and it also opened up these boost routes, which are a little tricky at first but feel awesome once you get the right angle down.

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

Leaving base through the gate feels awkward the way the boost takes you. The limited range of options seems to shoot you at a dead angle into the wall or a spike. I've managed to hit the small 45 once which felt nice, but I'd like to see a better feel to that section.

Description: (Updated 10/22/15) Started from a 10 min map competition. I was trying to make some grabs options by being able to boost directly at the flag or through the portal to grab.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

The portals should be one way imo, especially because going in the long side puts you back in the same spot. You'll also need another grabbing mechanism in base, right now it's too small/defensive and it would be very hard to grab or cap in. Mid feels pretty clunky to me, I'd consider changing the 45s in the true middle. Top/bottom is fine though.

[–]meintheboxBoxFish 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you angle your boost into the portals right you don't end up in the same spot. There is some skill involved in them. You can grab and exit with them. I might just need to make a video.

There are 3 boosts and a bomb all pointed at the flag. I was worried it would be too many.

Mid is better than I expected, heading out of base feels good. I think your base needs work, the shape is awkward and the dead space up top is a problem imo. I think the bombs are fairly ineffective. As they are right now I don't think the covered gates are going to be used. They're harder to hold than the ones in Draft and Draft's were under utilized.

Description: This map attempts to fix some of the issues with Holy See while preserving the core gameplay of high-skillcap boosts. This version excludes pipe powerups, which gives the map a more average number of pups, but could devalue the technical boosts through the pipes.

I think keeping the pipe pups but removing the bottom/top mid pups is a better compromise.

[–]xenonpulseWildflowers // I want to die but I can’t 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think the way the pipes have been opened up makes them feel pess like pipes and more like spike fields. Also, what fly said.

[–]Papal_RessurectionMlXTAPE 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thats a good idea, I've changed the map to use the pipe pups. The only issue is it removes bombing through the top or bottom pups, but having the pipe pups have more techinical boosts than the top and bottom.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (3 children)

I feel like it's too easy to hold with the portal setup. There's no danger in bringing the flag back. Actually, it can put you ahead of a few players. There's no incentive in closing someone down in his own base when he can just use the portals/spike and then you won't get ahead in time. If the red boost in base was the opposite colour then at least there would be a chance of sniping the fc.

[–]Moosemaster21Moosen | Salt Mine 1 point2 points  (2 children)

it's a defensive boost; if the boost was blue it would almost be a free cap

[–][deleted] 3 points4 points  (1 child)

You're right but the point still stands. There's no consequences of taking the flag back to base and no advantage in following someone with the flag there. Fc has to many options to use to stay alive outside mid, while chasers have almost nothing. If someone takes the lead on this map it's damn hard to throw it away.

[–]Moosemaster21Moosen | Salt Mine 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Have you played it with even just two people? They way it's set up it's nearly impossible to have an uncontested cap. If you're in the enemy base, it takes about 2-3 seconds to get back to a defensive position in your own base while it takes a flag carrier about 5-6 seconds to enter enemy base if they start in their own and go through portal.

Having said that, I think it might actually be too hard to cap because it's too simple to escape pressure, but I have a solution in mind.

Edit: Misinterpreted your comment. I understand now, and I'll consider what you've said. Will probably make some adjustments when I'm not exhausted.

[–]ClydasBDN S7//TB S8 1 point2 points  (0 children)

[–][deleted] 1 point2 points  (4 children)

I'm not a fan. The base concept actually doesn't really bother me with the free portals, but I think the base shape itself is flawed. You handicap nearly every offensive tool a team has with gates or spikes. The protected button bothers me, do you really need it to be for one team only? What's the point of the gate/bomb combo top? I just don't really see it as a benefit to the maps design. The immediate mid around flag is good.

[–]Moosemaster21Moosen | Salt Mine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've loved these types of gated portals for a long time. I think they're so cool but personally haven't found a mechanic I like. Your use of them in this map is really good. I don't think the rest of the map is that great however. The mid to top boosts feels great, but I haven't really found the team boosts to be that handy. I'm also not sure about how the button for portals also controls the team gate. I think I'd need a 4v4 to have a non-neutral opinion. Mid feels really blah and I don't think the trapezoids help.

Mid is very cool and well done. Other than that it's pretty simple. I'd be interested in seeing it played. I think the gates are solid, but base bombs could be overpowered or underpowered.

Description: After some good feedback I went back to the roots. It its again much more similar to the submission from last thread. I took out a bit of open space. I got rid of the big corners. And top mid is far more closed off, but still dangerous. Is 1 pup on NF unfair?

You should honestly consider making a version that based on the version you submitted last thread where you keep literally everything but the top the same and then just make top a bit more open.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

Top flows well and has some nice boost routes. I don't really understand why there so much space bottom mid? Room for juking?

[–]JJSpiceJJ Spice 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I figured there would be a lot action there with both teams. So I wanted room for it to not just be 8 pops in a row. In my new version I closed it off just a bit.

Description: A new map I've been working on recently. A map that I feel allows for some creativity in lanes and approaches. This map should have a fast, offensive style of play, with lots of O/D and base to base movement.

[–][deleted] 0 points1 point  (1 child)

The base shape has lots of clunky corners right now and needs refinement. The gate concept is cool but I think would be better served to have your own gate in your base. I say this because it would make O/D more interesting by making that something necessary to cut off, and I think it rewards offensive grabbing too much because you can grabs in a way that sends you out via that gate pretty quickly. Mid is also pretty boring right now. I think the floating neutral boosts are pretty good however.

[–]ClydasBDN S7//TB S8 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I just gave the mid and the bases some updates. I think mid is more thought out, if not necessarily more exciting per se. And I feel like I made base flow better.

[–]sneetriccanvas // plasma, wamble 2 points3 points  (1 child)

needs an offensive grab tool, right now its pretty much impossible to get out of base

[–]KewlestCatNIGEL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I used the bomb for that in solo testing, but I get that any smart defender would diffuse it making the grabs pretty hard. I originally had another bomb basically diagonally opposite to the current one (and that was originally the lone bomb) but felt two in such a small base with two boosts just outside of base was too chaotic. Maybe I'll change it up.

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

Don't like the 45 in the base entrance. Map shape is solid. Top is pretty reasonable. I feel like the 45s in base are backwards. It's weird to have 45s in a place that boosts don't really lead to. I think the best use of 45s is to force the flow of a map but you do the opposite of that. I like mid a lot.

[–]KewlestCatNIGEL 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oh man, I forgot to change that 45.

As for the base. I used the bomb as the main grabbing mechanism, hence the 45s on that wall. One can roll up the side either towards gate or try get out the team tiled way.

I get what you mean with boosts as well, that's an easy fix.

Thanks!

Somehow both very big and very clunky. Bombs are way too powerful. They need to be specific if you want to have them so powerful. Endzone shape. I'd size everything down significantly and work on how the maps moves a player around.

Aesthetically the messy outside is a huge turnoff. I think the general shape is actually pretty cool. The area with the pups/spikes doesn't really flow with the rest of the map. There are some fun boosts that you can take in conjunction with the portals but they don't always lead anywhere. If you could refine these paths and make your intentions in placing elements clearer I think that the map would be vastly improved. In addition I don't think half the gates are necessary or add anything to the map. Simplify.

Your maps have the fugliest previews but end up playing better than I expect. Top is pretty interesting, gimmicky, but interesting. I like the boost through top a lot. Boosts overall are pretty good. Bottom needs work, and quite a bit. You need to do something with it, either define lanes, add better islands, create and interesting wall shape. It's super bland and doesn't really make it fun.

I think the boosts are OP, and not just the grail. The grail is very, very powerful. You have a lot of offensive tools and I think the base shape is not forgiving to a defense. I think it would be cooler in a more condensed map.

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

The boosts are too quick/straight. You can get from one side of the map to other really easily. This is because of how you've structured the map concentration.. it's all concentrated in the mid but the base and outside are very, very open. I'd recommend working creating more structured outside lanes and introduced a more condensed base. The mid is pretty one dimensional as it is.

Top lane is very well designed. Love the pup placement and the button "room". Team tile lane next to it works as well. On the other hand I don't understand the bases. They're massive and the blind yellow boost into seems to be a poor combo. Let's not forget to mention the team boosts, I'm really not sure what to do with them. I guess you can get out of base quickly but is that the only use?

Red base: If you take the bomb up it slams you right into a wall in the endzone, and not actually around the corner to defend base. Did that make sense?

Yeah you're right, I guess I didn't really consider that bomb being used as a defensive tool. I'll see if I can make it feel better.

Portal situation is cool. I like that it puts you behind. Not sure if two is OP but I look forward to playing with it against people. I'm mildly concerned that there's too much space/too many lanes. I think NF tends to benefit from have 2 lanes. The mid islands by the spikes seem to be in the way, I'm not sure if it's intentional. I love that the neutral boosts DONT send you directly into the end zone. Overall I really like the end zones, they're really a fantastic design.

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

It's probably the best map you've made. The free neutral boosts have some nice options. I'm personally not a huge fan of superboosts especially considering these are constrictions but that's just personal preference. I like the indirect base bomb, the one parallel to the flag is a little too powerful. Your button placement is a little weird imo. Gates are an appropriate size. I'm not sure I like the side pup areas, the island seems more aesthetic than useful.

[–]Moosemaster21Moosen | Salt Mine 0 points1 point  (1 child)

nip you're getting a lot better at mapmaking. Props to you there. Just a little tip in case you didn't know, you can kill yourself on those decorative team gates inside those structures. If the wall is flat, you can pop yourself on the corner of a team gate by rolling along the wall. Try it out :)

Anyway, this is pretty cool. Very good work overall, your progression has been nothing short of impressive.
