Um, I noticed on Spiridian-VM that the Phoneix base force field is penetrating through the side and is visible on the Flag Ledge.

NM, Apparently this is fixed in the single exe version.

These maps spawn you as a light armor, not medium. Obviously, the mapmakers have used their agendas to eff this up. This is a mod, not a mappack.

Thanks for nothing.

Fix it. Now.

The last revision I saw, only DX and Mesa had light spawn armor. DX did it to recreate the ability to cluster the map a la T1/T2. Mesa probably did it to be different. I don't see a problem.

I had to drop the number of connections down so that I can get some mirrors uploaded to other sites. If you got disconnected you will have retry a bit later. Please be patient and we should have some mirrors up shortly.

WTF, why do you spawn in Light on all of these maps? I didn't know the point of a map pack was to change game play. Why wasn't this mentioned/discussed more promently before hand so others could have had some input?

Honestly, taking an issue such as spawning in light to the general public is a huge mistake, because it is basically pointless.

I would be pretty surprised if there was a decent ammount of players who disliked spawning in light. I'd much rather have mobility/speed over 25 extra health when it comes to spawning. Not sure why in the hell they decided to make spawn medium in T:V.

Overall the latest map pack has fixed almost every issue with a lot of maps (and I can almost assure there will be 6-8 maps added with good reason).

Light's can take as much damage as Mediums can. I chase in spawn alot with the disk jump. If your base is raped, and you take any damage, you can forget about catching cappers, cause the light is so frail. Why do ppl feel the need to fix things that aren't really broken......

Because map makers like to do things that benefit their own play style rather than keep maps balanced.

This is not a map pack. This is a mod. When you make a a different landscape, you make a map. When you change the game play, you make a mod.

Thanks for attempting to screw up the already dwindling community so that you can play in the armor you prefer.

Why would you bill something as a map pack when it modifies game play?

I'm So glad I did not just install it with out reading what others posted first.

Silly.

Although I usually agree with my veteran buddies I have to disagree this time in saying that you shouldn't spawn in light. With the repair kit being taken away in T:V, spawn light would basically be worthless.

issue one, dont assume shit about me or my play style. i play in all three armors. issue two, changing a landscape is changing the map completely. issue three, PLAY THESE THINGS BEFORE SPOUTING YOUR FUCKING OPINIONS. you're basing your comments and whines off of the way things have been, without seeing this in competition. play it for a while then come back with complaints.

I appreciate the torrent, but requiring one to sign up to use the tracker defeats the whole point of a torrent. The file is already cryptographically protected by the protocol so you don't need a signup to protect the content. This just makes it harder for people with headless Linux boxes on fat pipes to join the swarm.

What is 25 health, honestly?? If you get mortared as a medium you are basically fucked as well. You almost always die in one hit, and if you don't you are dead next hit.

Why did you make it so you spawn in light. Fix it.

I like it, but its not how TV is, unless TWL switches it around. So, until its changed, fix it.

I wish DX wasn't in there now that I look at it. You changed the turret to AA which makes it usesless when Heavies climb on the base, cause AA cant hurt at close range. Also you took out my macrotexture. You removed my loadscreen for some unknown reason which credits Halfscan and KP. And you made the OOB way too small. I appreciate the mappack, but if its possible please exclude it unless you use the version I gave you.

How about you "fix it", because I don't see any of you whiners doing jack shit to help test any of these maps.

And btw, you just said "you like it", so what's the problem?
