sounds like this _rc version will be played on TFT, so criticisms will come then. otherwise it looks like you made a lot of updates, looking forward to it

I'm going to try to weasel out of work so I can see my computer built and turned on so I could maybe see this.

How is this map?

[beep beep diglett]

last time i played (im not sure if its the same map because my memory is shit) the first couple of points are really cramped then it gets pretty good

[Hellfire]

i hope admins got that /2 bad/ _test2 has an annoying bug, so its better to test _rc and rc2_test(number) or maybe just _rc2 will be here for next TFT

[Hellfire]

anything?

To reiterate on what I talked to ya about last night

- Without the 4th point the map seems too small

- Feels like its impossible for defenders to hold B & C, like after A falls, that's pretty much it, this makes the whole map either a roll where A is capped quickly and the other two fall shortly after, or a long slug fest being held at the first point.

- The previous point can lead to rage quitting if you get held like that, or rolled depending on your side, at least with 4 points, defenders got one more chance to hold and attackers felt like they accomplished something even if they got held back.

- With no 4th point, B & C cap too quickly IMO

- A few people complained about frame rates, but I did not experience any problems



Changes I would make:
- Slightly raise defender's spawn timers for point A, lower for B/C
- Slightly lower attackers spawn timers for A, raise for B/C
- Increase cap timers on B/C 25 - 33%
- Check for any additional optimization you can do
- Consider adding additional "space" to the map, not sure where you could do this, but spreading things out a bit might make it feel a bit less confined
- Bring back the 4th point (or did you get contrary feedback from others?)

[Hellfire]

well yea, you are the first one to actually miss cp4. Also..increase B/C cap time? they are 35(!!) seoconds. Even more then dustbowls's

I still felt like after kicking a team off a point there was no chance on getting it back, should be as long as gravel pit's timers, or longer

[Hellfire]

oh, well, i meant gravelpita timing B/C got 35 sec cap time while gravelpits A/B got 30sec cap time. Its very long
