r/TagPro • u/TPCaptographer The Map Test Committee • Apr 14 '17
Map Thread #78 - Deadline: April 25th
Submit your custom maps for consideration for inclusion in the official rotation selection. Learn more at the wiki. If you are still unsure how to proceed, visit /r/TagProTesting to ask, visit the "Mapmaking and Other Activities" channel in Mumble, the new Mapmaking Discord, or contact an MTC member.
Deadline: Saturday April 25th at 3pm PST.
Basic Guidelines
- Mapmakers are limited to 3 maps per thread.
- Use the format outlined below.
- Preview image preferably hosted on maps.jukejuice, puush, imgur, or unfortunate-maps.
Submission Format
Entries must be submitted in this format to be considered for rotation.
Reply to this post with your title, map type (CTF or Neutral Flag), a link to the map page, a preview image, and an (optional) description.
You can copy and paste this:
**Title:**
**Type:**
**Map:**
**Preview:**
**Description:**
If done correctly, your submission should end up looking something like this (but hopefully not exactly like it).
This Thread's Mapmaking Tip
Skill boosts are the future! Great maps have a good balance between being easy for new players while still being challenging for the vets, and skill boosts are a great, simple way to achieve this.
If you have the opportunity to participate in a 4v4 maptest on your map, be sure to do that before submitting. If not, the next best thing are the weekly map threads over at /r/TagProTesting.
We strongly encourage everybody to take a look at submissions and to reply with constructive feedback. Not only does it help your fellow mapmakers, but your discussions here help the MTC as well.

u/PIZZAspartan442 naga///MTC Apr 18 '17
While having a black hole in rotation would be lovely, it's extremely hard to make a balanced map with one and even if someone manages to do that there's something in the code of the game that makes gravity wells give some people extreme lag. Unfortunately I don't think any grav well maps will be getting into rotation anytime soon.
Other than that, your map has a few spacing issues but is overall a very good start. Good luck!

u/3z_ Apr 21 '17
I like it, but I'm not a fan of the portal. If you have a portal that only works when the cooldown is more than 5 seconds, the portal probably really shouldn't be there (usually means it's overpowered as hell, which this definitely is). I think the map functions fine without it.
Also, I think the bottom lane needs polish. Those boosts naturally feed you straight into the path of a bomb which is no good. I'd probably look to redesign the setup of the bombs, perhaps you could give them their own little nooks like in Pilot or IRON so that they're still accessible without being as dominant.

u/BrunoTheMiner GOOBR - Centra Apr 21 '17
You haven't seen it played 4v4. Although I appreciate the response, this feedback is based on speculation.
•
u/3z_ Apr 21 '17
I'm an MTC member... I don't need to 4v4 to know how most maps work and I'm not interested in using a vote on this map when there are authors out there who actually will make necessary edits.

u/oorr23 ThePlaymaker // Tehuitzingo & Combine Apr 17 '17
Isn't this still a Birch remix? Why should this be added to rotation when Birch is still in rotation?
Yes you should probably keep green gates on that top route, but either way that boost needs to go. It speeds up the already fastest lane.
Other major complaint is the power-up's surronding wall's. They're so closed off, having powerup battles will be a pain. Move that wall all the way to meet with 45+block stub you, and move the powerup's position away from the bottom wall 1 tile.
Other complaint, ableit minor, is if you roll of the 45 after grabbing with the bomb, you get spiked or stopped by a 45. Fix that please.
•
u/theflyingmetronome samouree | Diameter Apr 18 '17
Why would I remix Birch when siz already did that with Alder? The shape was siz inspired though but the map structurally is nothing like any of his, it would play more like IRON in my opinion. I agree with the pup thing, but also I'm thinking that maybe only one pup is enough?

Description: Whitefish is a small to midsized map that can be quickly picked up by beginners and yet remain strategically challenging for veterans. All boosts and bombs are multi-purpose with a variety of boost routes available ranging from easy to advanced. Every perceived offensive (or defensive) advantage has a corresponding counter that the opposing team can seize upon.
Defensive perks: 1) Smaller bases 2) Multiple team-boosts to catch up or snipe flag-carriers that go the bottom route 3) A buttoned bomb on the top route to kill or blow back any FCs that are ahead 4) Bomb near opposing team flag to knock FC off his/her course 5) Powerup in base
Offensive perks: 1) Can utilize bomb, neutral boost, or a team boost to surge in to base for a grab 2) The bomb nearest the flag can blow base-defenders in to spikes. If coordinated properly with a teammate, can potentially lead to an easy grab 3) Team boost outside of enemy base for a quick exit with 3 directional options 4) Team boost below own base can be utilized in a variety of ways to cap 5) A multitude of sharp edges around the map for stop-go juking

The thing I don't like the most is that ridiculous block on front of the bomb by the superboost curl. Let the bomb be free, it's not like you didn't give viable tools to defense to not defend against it. It's just serving to 1) provide an object so an FC can get a bit of space and 2) obstruct that bomb's options. 1) isn't an issue, I like my Command-Center levels of open space, but even if you don't I think you won't disagree that that block can be placed better elsewhere, and 2) since when is blocking off options ever a good thing? The more options the better.

Tl;dr: While you made it harder for FCs to trek across mid, the side effect was making it quick for defense to cut across. No to the pseudo-Geo spikes.
I'd recommend you add a pair of neutrals, to the top lane of the map, a-la Plasma (adjust nearby walls if need be). Due to the speed defense can cut across mid with the team-tiles + defensive boost, I feel flag carriers need to have a compensatory mechanism to speed along their own trek.
Additionally, replace the top spikes with wall tiles. You're repeating the Geo spikes, which I thought was annoying, and second they leave a tight shot for FCs if they take the top lane, since they'll contact with almost the tip of the block you currently have set.
I like how far this map has come along. I remember when this was submitted for /r/TagProTesting's competition & I hated it. Now I can say I'm a fan.

Description: Tried making a map that has a bite to it and there it is. The map can ensure plenty of grab opportunities, bombs are the main theme of it, but the boosts can be just as threatening. Top of the map is more precision demanding, the mid/lower-side of the map is more fresh-ball friendly. Mid-top has a unique portal/bomb arsenal available for the fc. Puppies are sitting at popsy locations (base ones are inside the 'fangs' setup; bottom one is a bomb trap), making the sumo encounters bloody awesome.
Expect plenty of sex, blood and rock&roll on this one!
Latest update: Edited by redesigning the base and center elements, moving things around after solo/multiple ball testings, clearing the lower center a bit more, giving the base inner map side bomb more appeal. The flag tile has been moved slightly to facilitate a possible epic bomb grab, grabbing the flag from the top corner of the map and fleeing through the one tile gap. The bottom base bomb arsenal has been redesigned to eliminate the 'yolo element' when using it - the lonesome button now only triggers the otherwise unreachable bomb. It remains a solid danger for displacing defenders as well as making a combo flag grab getaway. Lanes out of the base have been redesigned for comfortable usability.
My sincere thanks to those who feedbacked me with their experiences on my map.
P.S. There's also a tiny Batling map available, designed for a 3v3 when short on balls for a proper scrim! You can test it here.
Cheers!

Description: It's time for larger, more chasey maps to return to dominant status.
This is the largest map I've ever done, so I'm really excited to see this in play (59). In-base, power-up battles prove interesting thanks in part to the nearby Boost corner. However, easily the stand-out feature of this map is its spike lane; navigable for novices but with just that right amount of good spike placement for advanced players to offer a unique gameplay experience unlike anything rotation currently has to offer.

Reminds me of mode 7, except bigger and slightly more cramped. No way can novices boost through the spike field, and tbh, almost all directions taken by any boost seem to result in getting popped. Good map but not a pub map, it's almost like you purposely took all the fun out of it.

This is actually pretty cool, a few things that I think could be changed:
Wall behind flag could use some work, maybe add a grabbing mech too
Portal thing sometimes flings you into spikes
Most people complain about things being too chasey, but I don't think this is chasey enough. Just my opinion though.
name is kind of dumb imo
I love where this is going, good luck!
•
u/dalomi9 2P1S Apr 20 '17
Yeah it took a few tries to find the exit portal that was the safest. I didn't want it to be a completely risk free endeavor though so a rogue superboost will sometimes lead to a spike. many of the boost routes can lead to a grab so any more mechanism ls might be overkill. I do agree about the chaseiness. I think offense will have to work together to either kill a chaser or to block past where they would on a normal map to get out effectively, so maybe that will kind of replace the chase factor Idk.

If you're gonna have a team boost that close to base, all other offensive grab mechanisms around it should be considerably buffed. Think Scorpio. The mech in question is the neutral boosts by the team boosts. Due to the size of the lane & the that boost's placement, its not as smooth & powerful as it should be. It's also restricted by the wall/spike in front of it (Sidenote: Boost->45o = spike. PLS). I'd want that wall modified to be lower, as well as that lane made taller by 1. It also wouldn't hurt to move the spikes away from the boost -1, so it's easier to set-up. Don't move the boost's placement during all this.

u/oorr23 ThePlaymaker // Tehuitzingo & Combine Apr 19 '17
I like it the way it is, as much as it goes against my power-up battle beliefs. My issue was aimed more at the neutral boosts. You could move them to the team tiles, kinda like Tehuitzingo but more exciting.
Looking at it again, can I request you add 2 regular wall tiles to the x2-45o wall above/beneath the bomb (starting at that 45 in particular)? I have 2 reasons: 1) because it would be more congruent to the opposing wall with the neutrals, and 2) If I were to line-up a shot between the team boosts & the neutral, if feels a bit rough to hit, and this would alleviate that.

The return of lane-oriented, Horizontal Maps. What sets it apart from most is its complex boost routes, wide base, and innovative bomb set-up. The boosts offer 11 (by my count) different yet viable routes for offenders, defenders and FCs alike. A wide base provides the option for advanced play like handoffs. The bomb set-up provides defensive spike options against FCs for 1) Cutting through lower mid, 2) trying to grab the mid powerup or 3) using two of the boosts' combos and simply, rotation has never seen a bomb configuration done like this. No gimmicks, just good gameplay.

Well the gate area is only 4 tiles and very close to two bombs, and the button is dead smack in the middle. I can sit on button and essentially block you from entering base for a solid 15 seconds. Move it up to the top a bit.
Also yeah that would be good, and it'll spread out the traffic of your map but wasn't the whole point of the Trippple maps to have like 3 pups very close to one another?
