[Feedback] Maps on official servers

[Jacko]

Well, I agree with you. One of the reasons we had to implement village maps was because the regular battle maps were being played to death. This is slowly getting changed, with the latest influx of new maps. I know for a fact that there is about 30 less village maps then a week ago (you can thank mustikki for that), and more is probably to follow.

Some of the village maps are very fun to play in my opinion, I remember a while a go there wasn't a single village map in the rotation and I was so happy to see a few of them again. Does the QMD stuff work these days? Just filter the bad ones out using those ratings. I find that most village maps that do not have ridiculous hills actually offer some good gameplay for all classes.

QMD/U serves no purpose, no.

just use my personal QMDs and QMUs and the maplist will be sweet

I would be bad at picking maps for EU servers, but I'd be happy to put together a NA rotation

I love the icon.  So fucking smug 

BTW my new map for the contest is already better than I imagined it.  Smug as hell about it, I will give teaser screens soon

Molenbek Castle  EU2

Way way too long to run for attackers.

Only one ladder and one backdoor, and the backdoor is even longer to run for.

Once up on the walls there is only one way down, or a long run along the wall.

Its alot of running and not very much fighting, and most of the fighting occur around that ladder,

My suggestions are , shortening the attackers run, adding another ladder or two, or maybe a siege tower, and adding some form of ladder on the inside of the walls. Creating more access to the courtyard

Rduna C is a really terrible native map.  Almost pure cliffs.

Basically, it's so exhausting for attackers that you have to spend nearly the entire initial lump of 4 minutes to get inside and you get only 1 shot to even reach the flag thereafter, let alone claiming it.

Please remove Unnamed Bridge on EU2 as well. The map doesn't make sense at all. There is only one ladder for attackers to use. After that, it is 'open the gate', keep flowing in and it becomes a battle map fought on a narrow corridor for you. From then on, it is a constant clusterfuck to reach/defend the flag. Surely not the way a siege map should be designed.

I could say that these two maps particularly represent the two extreme ends which should be avoided in siege maps. The former is too damn difficult to attack, the latter too damn easy (although there is the clusterfucking element involved too due to the very short distance between attacker spawn and flag).

Prison Break (although ingame it's misnamed) brings extreme complaints, to where admin forced changemap to Ruins.

Still havent seen Chasm, if it's after in rotation its hard to get to heh.  I've played Fedner c like 7 times since the patch.

[Muunilinst]

ye put prison break out. it has too much bugs atm. i try to fix them when i find some spare time.

[Berserkadin]

EU2 has gotten a lot of really boring and retarded maps lately.

[Viriathus]

I think its time to stop messing arround with the map rotation guys, bring out the simple siege maps again.

AND REVIEW SOME SUBMITED SIGE MAPS! some are realy great!

Blank 6, siege map, the wooden awnings on front battlemnt making fighting impossible

[no_rules_just_play]

rudkhan castle, the native (sarranid) map, is totally unbalanced now. the defenders have to choose between letting the flag getting capped or letting the attackers open. if they cap the flag it takes them 3 seconds with a few people. if they open the small gate, the whole map is fucked (that was basic defence before the siege beta: defend small gate, if they open it we are fucked)
