Title: Nominate your favorite maps (NA80/100). Poll with pics*
Post by: Nasturtium on April 22, 2011, 09:27:29 pm
  In case people are not aware, in the dark backwaters of the scene editing sub-forum, we now have a system in place for you to vote for maps you wish to see removed from the NA100. http://forum.c-rpg.net/index.php/topic,2948.0.html

  As a longer term goal of paring down the rotation to get rid of maps no one hates enough to complain about but everyone is bored of, use this poll to vote for maps you want to stick around. Please take 10 minutes and vote!

cheers!

Edit... now with 100% more pics!

There is a scene editing sub-forum?!?!

I know a lot of people complain about maps due to one reason or another. This is your chance to speak up for the maps that you really do enjoy and want to see in rotation... and also a good way to shun the maps that you may simply be sick of... (damn those invisible trees, etc.)

After extensive research at several respected sciency type places, and hundreds of millions of dollars of grant money, my team has come up with the following data:

I love Screaming Trees.  Especially when there's good cavalry on like Rohypnol, it's like being on a roller coaster ride speccing him in there. ...Shame the date rape duo are never cav anymore :(

I think it would be easier to paint out the obviously imbalanced maps. There are a ton of them.

This way we can do it with out insulting the folks who worked really hard on the maps. seriously it take like 5 minutes.

 Who would have thought that the arena is the most popular map?

While I appreciate the fact you are trying to protect the map makers, anyone who publishes something publicly should be prepared for some criticism. Additionally, I think some constructive criticism would benefit the cRPG community. There are some maps I like, but because of some poorly position objects (ladders, buildings, etc.) the maps are clearly unbalanced and strongly favor one side over the other.

By only recording the favorites, you're not really accounting for the true overall quality of the maps across the board.

+1
Most mappers use the scene editing subforum for feedback on how a specific map can be improved, often when someone cares enough to complain, the mapper will fix problems and repost an updated version.

 Most of the time the only feedback mappers get is vauge unfocused criticism in game.

  The poll here is not intended to adress problems in maps and improve them, it is intended to be the first step in getting rid of some tired old maps that noone really is excited about anymore so we can clear some space on an already bloated rotation for new maps to have a shot, and improve the overall quality of the server.

  I agree completely that constructive criticism is a great thing, and would encourage anyone who has complaints about a map to speak directly with the creator, or post in the scene editng subforum.
