Didn't we learn anything from PizzaCrap

[mars01]

Frac makers please move some bases closer together.  This map has some good ideas but completely blows due to the long distances of the bases.

Please move the fields closer together.  I exhausted 100% fuel in a spit and only saw two cons the whole time.  Friggn sux.

I ended up loggin off to do something more fun than watching paint dry.

Whine off. lol

What, you mean the bases are more than 3½ minutes apart? The sound of the siren at one field cannot be heard at the next field?     <-LOL-H

[Clip121]

I also liked the pizza - always something going on somewhere if you didn't wanna fly with or against the horde!!!

I'm sure we'll be seeing one of your maps in the future then?

Frac3 without a doubt brings out the most "I hate this map" comments from people when it first loads up.  

Reasons why I don't like it:

All bases are between 0.0 and 1K in altitude
Most bases are too distant to form a good fight
Those few bases which are near only breed furballs
Some towns are 10 or more miles away from the base

Right now I would prefer to have this map removed from the rotation if it is going to stay in its current state.  Nothing against the person who spent the time to design it, I know making maps is by no means easy.  But not everything everybody does can turn out to be fun.  While I am without a doubt there are people who like Frac3, I have yet to hear from one.

Hold your breath for that one.

Fester showed everyone how to make a map that is playable for everyone then out comes a map that has the fast paced action of a snail race.

Wake me when it's over.

So I guess the perfect map is -

Fields where runways touch other.
Already at 25k to save having to climb.

If every terrain was laid out the same, there really would be no point in rotating terrains around.

Truth is, no one terrain is going to satisfy all players.  It cannot happen and it will not happen.  

Terrains allow every player a different oppertunity to find another way to have fun in the game.  For some players a terrain will automatically be fun, while for others, it can be frustrating to find that handle.
It is pretty much a given some people will find change to be fun and challenging, while others will fight it, human nature being what it is.

HOW DARE YOU insert common sense into this discussion.


Party Pooper.

Is HiTech doing your spell checking again?

[rabbidrabbit]

How about having a map making contest once in a while to spice up the mix?  The same old same old again and again sure isn't helping things much.  Let folks submit maps and maybe vote one off once a month and put the new one on.

[Skuzzy]

What do you expect at 7:30am Virgil?  I was still making the coffee.  

Rabbid, anyone can submit a terrain.  Most of the terrains in the Main Arena are player made.  If you really think you have an idea for a terrain, but cannot build it, for whatever reason, then try hitting up the "Terrain Forum" and ask for some help.

You never know.

[rabbidrabbit]

What I'm saying is have a vote once a month with the map getting the most votes  being booted from the lineup.  It could then be replaced with a new map.  You folks would get plenty of submissions if you ran a once a month contest or if folks knew there was some sort of process.  this keeps the maps fresh and cuts down a bit on the gripes of the same old same old.

[BTW]

I don't know how many submissions you'd get every month. From what I understand, maps take a lot of work and a whole lot of time to create. If people were spending weeks working on a map, they wouldn't have much time to play.
