In between seasons, I'd like feedback on upcoming S10 Maps.

I have 4 (that's right, four) maps in the mix right now for an S10 pack- giving us two seasons between map packs is going to give us more time to work on them. I'd like to get a "progress pack" out and see what you guys think, but I'm wondering if these New Map Pickups are the best way to test these maps out.

Anyway, I hope to see plenty of bitching and moaning like there always is. Can't wait. Another reminder, I'm making maps for more than just the sake of seeing them played in comp- I need maps for the game I'm making. So if you aren't going to be constructive, its either you saddle up or leave.

You guys should be glad that someone who is trying to make a spiritual successor game like this is actually willing to listen as much as I am. And yet I still get shit. Let's not turn this into a "The Little Red Hen Story" (Little Red Rooster?) Help me plant the seeds, harvest the grain, knead my bread, etc. or you won't have a reason to bitch when this thing is finally released. Oh, and if you don't like it- don't play! Boy that was easy.

Blah blah blah blah blah.

Maps suck. You suck.

TO MAKE A MAP PLAYED IN COMP YOU SHOULD HAVE AT LEAST 4 YEARS OF PRIME TIME EXP.

All the maps you made are garbage. Stick to the old maps that we all have enjoyed for years.

Here is my valid point. If you have a draft and then a tourney with set days of scrims and half the mother fukers dont even show its IMPOSSIBLE to play on sundays. Many guys that are key players are vets that just show for the sunday action. If this is to stay fun and competitive then keep it simple stupid. We need maps we all can just join and play because we know it.

No one cares anymore except for the nubs that missed out on all the action years ago...I have news for ya. Its over. Why make shit so much harder to manage with new maps that only 10% will spend time working on.

Roooster go outside and meet real people. Get a job. SOmthing. Your just an annoying attention whore that has no skill or exp to even be thinking of making maps.

How many times do you need to be told this?

i think there's a more tactful way of asking for feedback instead of defining parameters on what people can say.

not *everyone* wants more maps, or more of *your* maps in particular. some ppl appreciate your effort while others don't. you need to accept that before saying 'you're welcome' to everyone as if a 'thank you' was already implied.

i for one appreciate your work, but the wording of this thread could've been classier.

I don't think any of the new maps have had much positive feedback. Mimicry is really the only one that stands out as playable...

It would probably be best to start bringing back some old maps instead of trying to add new maps that really don't work for tribes. Gunther made a valid point that there are only a very small handful of active players willing to learn new maps so at this stage of the game let's stick to the basics.

If you want to create new maps and test them out with your pals and stuff that is cool but if you want a more positive response from the community regarding map making you could maybe take a look at some of the older TWL maps that aren't played because of small issues and fix those issues.

I can definitely commend that and I think that's a good idea, one that other mappers have been doing in previous map packs and I am willing to do this too if it works with people.

Also, if new map pickups are done, playing an old map every other map is something we could do too. You have to understand why I would be wanting to make new stuff too- I am not going to rely on mappers who have not played Tribes to make maps, and this is the best way to get real feedback on potential maps for a game long before the game is out.

I'm honestly really glad there are other mappers out there like me who continue to produce new content for this old game. I'm glad Anthem and Fling do what they do- when I first got back into the community I was amazed there was any mappers left at all.

But yeah, I can look at old maps I can change- if you'd care for me to do it.

The point about it being a pain in the dick to learn everything on new maps is legit.

I'd rather play another map (even if it's one that I only vaguely remember that we haven't played in a long time) than wonder whether there's a giant ravine full of water over the next hill.

Well when you're attempting to make maps for a very critical community in an 12 year old game for the remaining players, you can't just ignore it. No matter how positive he stays, that isn't going to give him the experience necessary to understand how the game works at a level above Goon Haven. Stay positive all you want, but in reality everyone knows his maps are shit and play like shit. I mean fuck even Anthem figured it out, so it can't be that hard. Stick to fixing old maps and stop spewing out diarrhea maps. You'll have a better time.

I liked cardiac.

Mordacity is a pile of shit.

Massive is playable.

Mimicry is pretty damn good.Although I would love to see a mirrored version. Taking the good side and mirroring it obviously.

Most of the older maps are pretty damn good.

I think Mordacity, Massive, Mimicry, and IceDance are all fine. Opus is fine too. Next tourney NEEDS to have BeachBlitz though. Surreal, Abaddon, Harvester, Titan, Subzero too. HOW BOUT FEIGN??!

This was the first season i had ever played let alone first time playing T2, and I thought the maps were decent, but the problem came in when we had offense that couldn't coordinate because of missed scrimmages to learn the new maps. This problem escalated into losing a capper because he was pissed off. When new maps are put into action and people don't know what they are doing, or don't have time to learn what they are doing they quit and don't come back...It is nice to see that new maps are being formed for T2, but at the same time the reason T1 still has a player base is because of the same maps being played over and over people can join and just play they don't have to learn anymore.

Aside from Machine head arena I agree.
And I remember there being some epic battles on Harvester back in S3? I think the team we played tank turtled for almost 2/3 of the map before we finally broke it, tied the game, then Nevares capped the win with like two seconds left on the clock.
If you have two evenly matched teams it can be a hell of a lot of fun.
