Do we need more new maps?

Post by Mameluke »

Well do we need more new maps? I hope this poll wasnt done by anyone else already. :biggrin:

Im asking this because I would think about making new maps if many people consider that we need new maps. (Not sure if I would be good at it tho)
If you see any mistakes in my grammar/vocabulary or whatever, please correct me. I really appreciate it :!: :flowers:

There was a poll at some point by riki and iirc it had said that people don't like learning the new maps so much and would rather have a set of rebalanced RE maps

I of course am open to having new well balanced maps but there is obvious bias there


Nevermind, I found it here and it wasn't as decisive as I thought it was

Hmm, did I manage to vote twice? I had already voted and got the option to vote again, and now there are two votes.
Pay more attention to detail.

ive changed it and implemented the option "No, but need to rebalance the existing maps."

I'd love to have both new maps, and rebalanced versions of official maps. Too bad you have "Yes" and "No" in front of the options. My conscience won't let me vote on both those options.

pretty unnecessary the "yes" and "no" 's but whatever now...

Rebalanced RE maps would definitly be worth it. But is then possible to play rated with them? If not esoc maps rock, so no need to rebalance the RE maps...

For me, new maps are on the largest things that keep this game fresh. Unfortunately there is also a sentiment with old school pros who feel dissuaded to join ESOC tournies because of the newer map pools.

I think most everyone agrees that properly balanced RE maps (so that just hunts and mines are improved) would be nice but from what I understand that is more difficult than it would appear? Idk I'm not a map maker.

So ultimately perhaps we could create "new" old maps in the form of rebalanced RE maps and both keep things fresh and maybe use more of those maps in the next tourney to try to bring out some old school big names.

RE maps are already semi-fixed on ep and so, you can already play rated on them.

No. We've got tons of EP maps, enough for each tournament round to feature unique maps. I personally think that's enough. Instead I'd like to "fix" some of the better RE maps - for example Siberia, Silk Road, Mongolia, etc - these maps are good in theory, but fail to spawn more or less equal resources in practice. For this reason I'm a huge advocate for fixed resources on problematic RE maps because I think RNG should play an extremely small role in a competitive game. StarCraft goes one step further with this by allowing no deviations between maps to ensure the same map every single game (image, the blue pixels are resources). As an animal right's activist, I think that's going one step too far as our deer need to be able to walk freely. But fixing them to a certain position and not allowing them to walk too far is perfectly ethical in my opinion!

Fix Re maps until that create new ones...:)
Increase wall cost significantly: Its a map issue also. With that and fixed hunts probably Every maps could be playable.

Missed an option!! Maybe launching 1 or 2 new maps with each update seems interesting, this brings novelty even interesting strategies, I think we should work better for new maps, bringing something really different and new ..
