New Map test.

awan · Post by **awan** » 04 Dec 2018, 06:31

We are going to test a new map in 8 to 9 hours.
This will be the first test we plan to do another one in the weekend.
Spred the word and be there.
A couple of things to know.
1. The tank will be enabled.
2. I myself might not be there for the test. It is Ribbonflex who did most of the work.
3. This is an alpha version expect bugs and such. The round might not be optimal.
4. Only the dev team and (some) admins or above have seen the map. Currently, mentors and mods are just as uninformed as players are.

You have sand in your eyes!
Your eyes sting!
Use RESIST to wipe the sand out of your eyes!
You suddenly go blind!

Prepare for Phillip 'Sandstorm' Murray

I have only one guess, it will be de_dust2, I hope P90 is standard issue.

I haven't heard anything fron Ribbonflex ever since his dev app went through. Even when I was staff on Slack, it wad like he didn't exist.

Are you finally letting him out of his cell? Did you lose the keys when BMC left, and only just rediscovered them?

Well, he is a bit hidden and keeps to himself I would say.
Or at least to the dev team. I never saw him before I became a dev either.
But he did hard work and I think this new map is quite great.

Are there more tests planned? I won't make it home till 5 hours.
Please lads take lots and lots of screenshots, I beg you!

If all goes well I hope to do a test this weekend as well.
But that needs to be discussed first so it might not even happen.
In general, this is an alpha version so only one of the major features I would love to see work is in at this time.
(There are three.)

Ditto on that. And it appears Avalanchee was right. It’s desert.

Opinions on map so far, plus issues and general suggestions.

1. Weeds should grow on those rock/cave walls. Please. Spook factor.
2. Marines should use a different palette of sprites for their armor, I personally vote we use the Dust Raider set for WO, I imagine it's as simple as just... swapping it over?
3. Will Survivors be able to rush filtration and meme it and how can we prevent this?
4. River is great and I love it, don't tone it down, force Marines to actually activate filtration.
5. How defensible is the LZ? Are FOBs even viable here? Tcomms is definitely very defensible, but the LZ's are exceedingly wide open, will this be a map where an FOB actually isn't needed and they fortify a much larger area away from the dropship? Admin seems decently defensible.

Also, I actually like the size, I think it's a good map, don't make it smaller, I really don't have many complaints about it and I think it will work great. Marines and Xenos will be forced to fight all around the map as Xenos attempt to defend filtration/Marines try to activate it. As for the whole issue of "Delayyyliens" perhaps just make bioscans come sooner and reveal more than one location perhaps?

As well I enjoy the Tank being back but I still have my personal gripes about a few features of it that make it slightly too overpowered.
-Perma stun crush. This isn't fun for Xenos that can literally only attack from melee, the chance of it turning on a dime and stunning you for 3+ minutes. It's literally enough time for the tanker to get out of the tank and shoot you to death. It's silly. I vote we remove the stun and make it kind of like defender tailsweep. Pushes you away and does damage. Obviously up the damage a lot. It should chunk it hard.
-LTB Artillery - This just sucks for players that spend over an hour getting to a certain caste to be one-shot gibbed from across the map. I'm not sure how to nerf this without making it useless and keeping the tanks power levels though. Less range on Artillery? Weaker LTB?
Otherwise the vehicle is fun and i'm glad to have it back, even if it's only for this map. APC when?
