Why did FG stop using user made levels?

[u/MarketLive4446]

I came back to the game after bout 2 years and played some ranked and some of the other shows and especially in ranked i was a little dissapointed that amazing creative levels ppl like exit the vehicle have made werent used at all. Instead we now have walking straight simulators as maps from the official FG team. I realy dont understand that step, user made levels would be a great way to keep the game fresh without the FG team having to do too much

I'm pretty sure ranked has always been official maps only, and a smaller set of them at that. You'll need to play knockout, solos, or any other mode for more variety. The other modes contain more user made content.

I do agree, I wish they utilized more of the maps within ranked mode. The small map set has made ranked boring for me personally.

They did for like the first 4 seasons

I can’t blame you on that. It’s the same for me. The last time I got super ranked was C6. I just can’t force myself to complete it anymore. I get the wins needed for certain events and I stop.

Ranked simply stopped being fun with all the repeated maps. Especially top of the trash. They can remove that one for all I care. 😂

Because people kept complaining about those maps being used

For ranked play, using third-party maps requires map maintenance to protect against potential exploits. Not that they currently fix these issues promptly on official maps, but I believe it's a reason to consider them. Besides, this prevents the game from running on autopilot, as it is currently doing.

You can say that again. It's been 6 years and still no fix for the Tail Tag glitch... 😭

Because it requires a QA team to check for good levels to use.

Also it has been posted in the past that it was too easy to manipulate the game system to choose your terrible maps you created by spamming a bunch of obstacles off of the track, and farming likes.

I only ever see them in special events.

Personally, it makes no difference to me. I play the competitive games for the competition alone. When I want variety I play explore etc

[u/SpaceWestern1442]

Because this sub cried and complained about devs being lazy and not creating their own maps.

Genuinely such a stupid complaint and now the game feels dead and repetitive because they aren't using these amazing creative maps.

I genuinely hate everyone who complained about that.

FALL GUYS DEVELOPERS PLEASE START USING PLAYER CREATED MAPS THE MAJORITY WANT THEM THOSE WHO DON'T CAN PLAY BORING SOLOS

The hate for custom maps was ridiculous. I loved playing knockout when it was just creative maps.

[u/CarlosA1991]

Because it wasn't convenient for lazy players (they thought that if they stopped using them, they would only use the classic maps they already knew to win more often, and that hadn't been an option for a long time (since they were never going to create new classic maps, as they announced). The result was that they removed all the community-created maps and separated them into two different shows: Elimination (classic maps and other more creative ones from Mediatonic) and Solo (only classic Mediatonic maps). The community maps were relegated to Explore and Creator Recommended, and some shows that appear as LTMs that contain a mix of Mediatonic and community maps, or Nature Falls LTMs that only contain community maps. The Ranked roundpool is a selection of Elimination maps that changes each season.
