Halcyon - Removed by Porkyyy October 7, 2014 at 3:10 AM UTC

Hi, I was just looking through some videos, and I saw one on Avicus which was played on the map "Halcyon".
I was just wondering, why was it removed? Was the gameplay not good? Were there other maps that replaced it?

Thanks,
-Porky.

I really didn't like the gameplay that much because off the very limited iron and diamond plus the monuments were really close to spawn which caused really long matches.

It was removed due to it being too similar with an Overcast map. I've been trying to contact said OCN author, but I haven't had any luck with that so far.

If you contact him successfully, and he gives permission, will it be added back? This was one of the best maps in my opinion. Great for PvP, rushing, and defending.

It ain't pvp if you fall after every hit.

All the maps are normal PvP, that was other kind of PvP, u need one map like that for refresh and fun :D

I loved Halcyon, nooo!!
so what if it was a small map, so is luar, it wasn't any harder to get kills. :(

Thank god.

The gameplay was bad TBH.

Lel, I am noob.

I don't remember Halcyon O.o

I loved this map. I have to admit, if the diamond armour was removed, the iron supply was made bigger and the paths were widened it would be better.

I agree. I really loved the map, but if some modifications were made, I think that it would be okay.

I agree with this. I found myself knocking way too many people into the void, and I found myself getting knocked out of the world too :P

This map is also easily kill-farmable if a coordinated team rush is set up, so making the paths bigger and removing the diamond would probably be better.
I really do hope this map gets added back in. It was one of my favorites as well :)

Diamond armor doesn't really make that much of a difference in this map, since you can easily knock people off. Some say that it's hard to get to the monuments because it's right next to spawn, but perhaps you bridged from the wrong place. Why not bridge from the top of their spawn?

MLGtino October 7, 2014 at 6:10 PM UTC

It was fun for me because of my 20ms KB.

Mooch24 October 7, 2014 at 7:10 PM UTC

never liked the pain looping you had to do on this map

Numberz_ October 7, 2014 at 8:10 PM UTC

Only enjoyed that  map when I had stacks of grenades.

I think I played this "Overcast Map" of it a few days ago, no wonder it reminded me of our map.

Halcyon_Heart October 7, 2014 at 9:10 PM UTC

I really liked this map but I died a lot.  :D

ProfessorUtonium October 7, 2014 at 9:10 PM UTC

Para.If halcyon looks like an OCN map why not edit it to make it not look like it?

Because no matter how much makeup you put on your zit, it'll still look disgusting.

That's a metaphor by the way.

goldenwalrus909 October 7, 2014 at 11:10 PM UTC

Meh, I personally hated the map. Rushing was impossible without getting shot off for nubs like me and it was pretty frustrating getting knocked off so much. Sorry for all you people who liked it, but I'm pretty relieved it was taken out :c

MidnightBeats October 7, 2014 at 11:10 PM UTC


True. I didn't like the map that much, it was too small for me.
Most deaths?

Void deaths.

PieZ October 8, 2014 at 1:10 AM UTC

I am going to feel like a real idiot when I find out what map it looks like.

BourbonBonobo October 8, 2014 at 2:10 AM UTC

-1 hated this map. Sorry for all the halcyon lovers. Im kind of glad it was taken off.

StewieFG October 8, 2014 at 4:10 PM UTC

it was amazing map my favorite one
PLEASE add it back
for all the haters if u dont like the map dont play it
:l

keller183 October 8, 2014 at 4:10 PM UTC

How could they remove a map by funky?, Tbh it was in my top 10 maps

_WittLowry_ October 8, 2014 at 9:10 PM UTC

I kinda liked that map cause it was easy to kill but monuments were too close

Porkyyy October 8, 2014 at 9:10 PM UTC

So what can be done to bring this map back, Map Devs?

ViceTechnicolour October 8, 2014 at 9:10 PM UTC

I need to contact Brottweiler.

Porkyyy October 8, 2014 at 9:10 PM UTC

I need to contact Brottweiler.
If the map wasn't based on an OCN map, and Ivy / funky just made it from scratch, I don't see why it is a problem to use the map.

But, I do understand what you're saying.

Avicus is breaking the eula-sh**.
Why not breaking the other rules too?
