[Feedback] Maps on official servers

[oprah_winfrey]

I know I am not the first to say this, but please remove bandit_hideout from the map rotation (NA_1). The map causes horrible frame lag for me, and many others.

[_Tak_]

since server has expanded to 200 players please consider to remove or make those "Small" maps bigger

[Mustikki]

Yea, will need to do a complete review due to increased player count for eu_1 and could just do that for na_1 at the same.
So, now its the best time to provide your feedback from the maps and please say why it is bad, "i don't like it", is no valid reason to remove.
There is plenty of maps, which even i don't like, but others like and only a few maps in the rotation gets dull much faster than plenty of maps.

And the map edges are just terrible.

I say add mustikkis tavern map to EU_1! Playing that thing would be fucking EPIC on 249 players...
...fucking devs/my old friendmins wouldn't put it on yesterday.

Well the smallest map in the rotation is the Ambushed, it's the most smallest map out there.

Pros:
Map can end very quickly since someone can die within 10 second from start of the round
The chance for draw is reduce since you can't really run away on this map tbh

Cons:
Horse archers , become extremely useless in this map
Horse xbow / horse thrower become useless in this map
All Cav cannot support infantry well
Map is extremely small for 250 players
There is a invisible barrier on 1 spawn for team b , means if someone is afk at last, no one will be able to kill him if the team have no ranged weapons
Take a look in that map with 250 players you will know my point of view, thx

Ridoma castle on NA_2 is a tried and true server-killer.  It really needs to be removed.  One of the new FrugFrug(or so I was told) maps is really really bad too, I'll try to get the name and post about it later. 

I'm going to try and get more people to give feedback about the siege map rotation on NA_2 here.

Rhuin castle is the new map in the rotation.  It is without a doubt the most imbalanced, server-killing, boring map in rotation now.  It cut the server's population in half when we had around 70 and it just never recovered tonight.  I'm pretty sure people spent more time talking about how awful the map was than playing.

This is exactly how not to give feedback on a map. Neither of you mentioned a single reason why the map is so bad, and I really wish you had because then I might have changed it sooner.

So what is actually the problem? List off some specific things about the map which annoyed you and others while playing and maybe I can make it more fun, if it's beyond saving then by all means remove it.

Fort Ruin map did kill the server population last night, here's why:

-attackers spawn way too far from castle.

-lower castle area without entry points was confusing, people ran to main gate then ran around it and it took them a while to find the ladder and back entrance.  By that time, no hope of maintaining multi from previous map so a bunch left.

-flag location not very clear

It looks really interesting though, lots of rooms and jump puzzles to explore once the spawn location is fixed.

Needs new maps on official servers for Battle ASAP. I just played today and it dawned on me. I have been playing the same maps for a long time now over and over again. How about putting in some good maps such as Chagans River Delta 2 i believe it was called. Perfectly balanced for every class. And lots of space for cav to maneuever around.

Sorrow anchorage, remove remove remove.
