Map Reassessment #3 | Conclusions by Fouled June 25, 2015 at 11:06 PM UTC

Results!

NOTE: Some of these maps will be fixed and re-added to the rotations (not decided which maps yet)
If you have a problem with any of these changes, comment below or message me on Skype: Slicornplaysminecraft

Removed Maps


#### Nebula DTM ####
- Ancient Lake - Gets rushed too fast (not challenging)
- Clay Wars - Too stalematey, lack of supplies and generally too much void
- Consilium - Too stalematey and too many tight PVP ranges
- Dry Heaven 2 - The maps too big, as well as the void gap and some islands are flat
- Embers 1 - Too much lava
- Gladekeep - Too many trees and the void gap is quite big
- Justice 1 -Spawn killing, too small, some OP items and there's too much void
- Mystic - Too much void, spleefing is a problem and no tactical placements
- Opulence - Too big, too many monuments and the patterns are repetitive (flooring)
- Plague - No comments
- Proelium - Too stalematey, too much void and PVP is usually focused at only the middle
- Radiation - No comment
- Revixit - The paths are too small
- Senex 2 - Matches last quite a while and the void/shape make it difficult (too cluttered)
- Trinity - Matches last too long, too many monuments and there's slightly too much void
- Vesper - Matches last too long and the pathways are kind of flat


#### Nebula TDM ####
- Alexander's Canyon - The maps too big
- Chaos - Too cluttered and it's hard to PVP when there's a bunch of enderpearls flying around
- Echo Valley: TDM - Too big? Other then that, no comment
- Eclipse - No comment
- Frozen - Too hard to navigate (jumping out of spawn: packed, etc)
- Venomous: TDM (N=MCZone) - No comment


#### Nebula CTW ####
- Divines - Rushed too fast and there's no regions on the sides of the map (does not work properly for CTW)
- Dreadlock - Too much void, no ideal pathways (mostly islands) and it needs regions
- Lotus - Too big, flat and the regions are quite bad
- Nucleus - Too confusing and it needs better regions at the wool rooms
- Quintus (Hacktivism) - The wool rooms are too small
- Sanatorium - No comment
- Taurtis - Too big, certain parts of the map aren't used and there's too much void


#### Nexus ####
- Amazon 2 - No comment

Thanks for doing this, guys! :D

Not much of a fan of seeing Senex 2 and Justice 1 go, though. Hope to see them back! :D

Why did you remove Clay Wars

dilpickel June 26, 2015 at 12:06 AM UTC

Can't wait to see some new maps in the rots but:
Clay wars: was good needs a re-skin (Not rework)
Venomous TDM: I would like to see return with a rework and re-skin
Trinity: Why is it being removed I thought it played and looked great.
Other then that great job!

Venomous TDM is still going to be in the MCZone rotations, as it was only removed from the TDM servers (I think).

Also,
Clay Wars: Too stalematey
Trinity: Too stalematey, excessive amount of void and there's too many monuments

Can you give more reasons for some of these maps that were removed? I feel that some were really nice.

FrozenSolstice June 26, 2015 at 1:06 AM UTC

:/

Avicus is losing the feel of the good ol' maps before the Omega update. New maps are nice, but something players can refer to for comfort is even better.

dilpickel June 26, 2015 at 2:06 AM UTC

I feel like now would be a good time to do a map testing event. We haven't done one in a long time and there really fun!
EDIT: Thanks Riskayyy!

Then we'd require feedback, at least.

R.I.P Clay Wars.

This is something I'll bring up!

nooo Justice I, Radiation, Senex 2, Vesper, Trinity :(

vladthegreat100 June 26, 2015 at 4:06 AM UTC

Clay Wars, Embers 1, dry heaven 2, magma, sad to see good maps go... will hate to see the day when all the good maps are gone

Fouled June 26, 2015 at 2:06 PM UTC

Added some reasons to why each map was removed from the rotations. Some of them might say "No comment", if so, there's an example of what it means at the bottom of the post.

SavageAmericans June 26, 2015 at 5:06 PM UTC

Some of these maps are actually good lol...
Especially those nexus/tdm ones.

Possibly some time next week, considering that's when the map developer meeting is.

Someone make a Claywars Redux :D

I believe you need the map makers consent or the server if the map maker isn't around. The map maker is around and doesn't like his maps being remade by other players

PieZ July 2, 2015 at 3:07 AM UTC

IMO removing Clay Wars was a mistake. I feel that map to avicus  was what The Nile was to OCN, The gameplay might not be perfect and might be a little long but it was a fan favourite.
