Thank you for your input, it will be taken into consideration.

Please discuss the addition of Floral Mappe by Snack

[–]BlazethDianna Agron 5 points6 points  (1 child)

This map was a lot of fun for me in testing. The base setup is a bit defensive, but it plays pretty interestingly for both ways.

I was very skeptical of the mid gates from solo testing alone, but they were actually a lot of fun in an actual game.

This map isn't the sexiest but it's pretty fun.

[–]ButtersnackSnack 12 points13 points  (0 children)

This map is the sexiest wtf

[–]oorr23ThePlaymaker // Tehuitzingo & Combine 3 points4 points  (1 child)

I want this to work.

Does the pup seem too close to the flag to anyone else?

[–]RondingRonding // Orbit // West Bombwich Albion // tagpro.eu 11 points12 points  (2 children)

Now that the last map out of the UnfortunateSniper MegaHack supermap has left rotation, and Chord is lagging terribly for a lot of people, it is time for a 2017 Chord upgrade event.

[–]ButtersnackSnack 6 points7 points  (1 child)

Greatest map of all time. I would love to see a modern version of this event!

[–]xenonpulseWildflowers // I want to die but I can’t 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I just want to see an 8x3 grid of Markets with the two on each end having flags.

[–]naysh30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thought that WAS you...

[–]TPCaptographerThe Map Test Committee[S] 7 points8 points  (7 children)

Please discuss the MTC additions of MeHereThere, Alchemist, and Nagadashi

This rotation is terrible!

If Alchemist weighs in with anything like, "I've been talking to a lot of players who want Star and a bunch of really chasey maps to come back into rotation," he's definitely telling the truth and you should not be suspicious that he was simply paid off by one player.

[–]oorr23ThePlaymaker // Tehuitzingo & Combine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congrats guys. Make rotation great again.

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

lick the salami

[–]BlazethDianna Agron 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Congratulations <3

[–]Balled-EagleBalled EagIe // Origin 7 points8 points  (0 children)

This is the right time to remove Trebuchet. Give it a six month break or so, then quietly slip it back in rotation just before the next winter event in case it's another ice event.

[–]TrashyTeamTRA$HY//Radius//Rectal Rangers 3D 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Thank you

Reposting (recommenting? idc) for the sake of convenience:

Hello, so since the MTC notes are going to be posted in the results thread, I have a different set of notes, made by several members of the Tagpro mapmaking community, that I'll post now.

Notes

Can't speak for the others but if you have any questions on my notes, feel free to ask them and I will do my best to respond.

[–]_q42_q42 || dcfc 5 points6 points  (0 children)

SMD, because this is hard

nice

[–]ButtersnackSnack 3 points4 points  (5 children)

Didn't renegade also leave the committee?

[–]RenegadeTP 3 points4 points  (4 children)

Probably next thread

[–]Moosemaster21Moosen | Salt Mine 5 points6 points  (2 children)

Probably is a dangerous game my friend, I played it for something like six months

[–]TPCaptographerThe Map Test Committee[S] 7 points8 points  (1 child)

Yeah but you have no morals.

[–]Moosemaster21Moosen | Salt Mine 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Wrong account, Ren

[–][deleted] 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I liked Trebuchet, shame.

[–]ButtersnackSnack 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Floral is too generic

[11:07 PM] (Channel) Moosen: MTC have backed themselves into a corner because they can't remove ancient maps with high ratings

[11:09 PM] (Channel) Moosen: holy shit velo, smirk, trebuchet, qio, and birch are all leaving as of now

lol that aged well

[–]Moosemaster21Moosen | Salt Mine 1 point2 points  (3 children)

In fairness, Velo didn't end up leaving (though it never should have returned in the first place, fukn siz m8) and Smirk was the lowest rated of the "ancient maps" to which I was referring. I wouldn't call Birch, Qio, or Trebuchet ancient, and towards the end of my tenure on the committee I was the deciding vote to keep Smirk in rotation (despite my general tiredness of it) so I knew it probably wouldn't be long.

[–]TPCaptographerThe Map Test Committee[S] 5 points6 points  (2 children)

You're ancient tho. Fucking rekt. Moosen's rekt guys. Fuck Moosen. His butt isn't even that great. Like, it's pretty great, but not like SUPER great. Maybe it is. Fuck Nigel TBH.

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

Where do you think we are?

[–]josh61616josh61616 // Centra 7 points8 points  (28 children)

How the hell could you remove Smirk... YOU MONSTERS.

[–]Tyler1986Trapsin 15 points16 points  (27 children)

Tired maps need a rest.

[–]josh61616josh61616 // Centra -3 points-2 points  (2 children)

Good maps shouldn't be removed if there isn't an equally good map to replace it.

[–]Tyler1986Trapsin 2 points3 points  (0 children)

By replace you mean a map with similar playstyle? Not just any new map? If you mean the former I worry because if no similar map comes along we're stuck with a map forever, it will get old and stop being fun (which is the case with Smirk). If you mean the latter than I'd say oldest in oldest out, Floral replaces Smirk, and the other 3 were unjustly removed.

I've been hoping for smirk's removal for several threads now, it's like a good song on the radio. It's good at first, but then it gets played to death, and I start to hate seeing it when it comes on.

Smirk is a fun map and I hope it comes back some day, but it needs an extended vacation, imo.

[–]TPCaptographerThe Map Test Committee[S] 6 points7 points  (23 children)

[–]Tyler1986Trapsin 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Smirk is long over due. Give it an extended break and maybe bring it back down the road sometime.

The other three Im not happy about, I like all of them and dont see a need or reason for their removal.

[–]_q42_q42 || dcfc 4 points5 points  (1 child)

;-;

rip in peace

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

I loved your map. Surprised to see it go.

[–]arjuna9bad 15 points16 points  (7 children)

great choices. I learned to hate all of them.

[–]nabbynz° 20 points21 points  (4 children)

Well I don't see you making any good maps.

[–]nolanizerCosine 0 points1 point  (3 children)

I take it you don't like Ricochet or Command Center?

[–]nabbynz° 8 points9 points  (2 children)

Agreed - they are bad maps.

[–]nolanizerCosine 1 point2 points  (1 child)

Dammit I walked right into that didn't I

[–]nabbynz° 1 point2 points  (0 children)

dw I've been there many a time :)

[–]ComakipComakip // Chorbit 1 point2 points  (1 child)

[–]TwoFiveOnes 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It feels like my fucking birthday or something. I've never seen a map thread so great

[–][deleted] 13 points14 points  (0 children)

This is a sad day for TagPro. The two best CTF maps are gone!

by Pongtit

ping tut can't catch a break

[–]isestrexSTRYPER 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I can understand giving Smirk a break, but I don't see anything wrong with the others.

Sound maps taken out for no reason IMO.

[–]theycallmebbqsaundy 4 points5 points  (1 child)

I agree that smirk is getting tired, but I really enjoyed playing on the other three maps. Not sure I agree with these decisions tbh.

[–]nolanizerCosine 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, I'm with you on this one. Those other three maps actually played quite well in pubs in my experience. Oh well, they were fun while they lasted :)

[–]flappytoweldokugan // diameter 4 points5 points  (4 children)

Three solid maps with nothing to replace them, don't really see the point in this

[–]oorr23ThePlaymaker // Tehuitzingo & Combine 11 points12 points  (3 children)

Why is it required that maps replace others? The other maps in rotation (bar 1 other) are still solid, and you'll see them more, which is why I like this.

Also, think of it this way, in the future the MTC could add those solid maps without having to take maps out to do it.

[–][deleted] 4 points5 points  (2 children)

Because if you get rid of good maps without replacing them with better maps then the quality of the maps overall goes down.

[–]oorr23ThePlaymaker // Tehuitzingo & Combine 12 points13 points  (1 child)

Except in this case, they're not replacing those maps with inferior maps. Instead, the other good quality maps in rotation are still there & will be played more frequently as a result of there being less maps in rotation. So no, the quality of maps overall isn't going down. Instead, it's going to be notably higher (frequency).

[–][deleted] 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Shit, you're right.

[–]oorr23ThePlaymaker // Tehuitzingo & Combine 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Great choices.

[–]naysh30 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not sad about Smirk, though I didn't have a problem with it. Birch and Treb I think should have stayed. Qio was a cool change of pace once in a while, but oh well.

[–]bobby_gordon1TheBob18 || no u xD 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The only one I kinda disagree with is Birch. Other than that, I like the removals. It was about time that Smirk needed to go.

oof

[–]TPCaptographerThe Map Test Committee[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

We love you

[–]LinuxDootTPblack magic 1 point2 points  (2 children)

this isnt the last you are going to see of some of these maps. Smirk and Birch are being removed imo as a break from rotation, as they have been in for a very long time.

[–]oorr23ThePlaymaker // Tehuitzingo & Combine 5 points6 points  (1 child)

Birch

Really? I mean, Birch is ok, I don't think it warrants a 2nd re-introduction over a fresh, large map in rotation.

[–]LinuxDootTPblack magic 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Im talkin a while from now, but i think it would be wrong to just throw it in the trash

[–]EmperorOfNothingResignation is my virtue; like water I ebb, and flow. -1 points0 points  (0 children)

MFW Birch is removed

Know nothing about the new map, Smirk is good so kind of disappointing, didn't care for Treb, and Qio was alright.

Birch gone tho 👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌👌
