Eureka mine stage 1 b6

Thank you to all the playtesters last session and the server host.
Based on the feedback and observed gameplay the following changes have been made:

• Fixed visible no-draw under the A point.
• Broadened the blue left flank in area A to be out of the range of sentry guns.
• The start of Area A for blue has been made less claustrophobic.
• Added Rollforward and Rollback zones in the AB connector.
• Red base should be more clearly Red base from the outside.
• Move small healthpack to inside of Red cubby in area B.
• Added see-through window to catwalk in area A.

New changes include:

• Disabled sounds on the capture point to prevent a noise when players push the cart
• Changed the blue left flank in area A into a drop-down to prevent Red team from flanking from behind.
• Increased distance between blue small spawn exit and battlefield.
• Changed blue left flank after AB connector into drop-down.
• Removed AB connector catwalk.
• Made blue right AB connector flank become a one-way door after first point is captured.
• Widened exit of tunnel.
• After A is captured, access to area A right flank is restricted.
• Entrance to area A right flank has been moved.
• Made changes to blue upper rooms in area B.
• Added low ground cubby to Red team right corner defense in area B.
• Changed size and placement of some pickups.

Based on the previous playtest, the following changes have been made:

• Red and Blue spawn timers have been adjusted.
• The blue right flank in area B has been made more accessible to the blue team and less for the Red team.
• The AB connector is slightly further away from point A and the sightline barriers prevent snipers in area B from peaking underneath them into area A.
• The opening of area B is larger and the Red corner defense is further away.
• The size of area B has been increased in general.
• Red base has been changed. The upper room has been removed and Red spawn is now a separate building.
• Ramps in area A have been improved.
• Added a flanking corridor for Blue team in area B which wraps around to behind Red base.

New changes include:

• Removed blue left flank in area B as this served Red team too strongly.
• Improved appearance of displacements in area A.
• Changed upper room in Red base into drop-down in area B.
• Removed pickups on right side of AB connector.
• Changed right side of AB connector.
• AB connector is now more accessible after point A is captured.
• Widened entrance to the left room in AB connector.

Happy new year everyone!
Following on from the previous playtest:

• Changed up Red base in area B.
• Fixed the displacements at the start of area A to be easier to walk on (thanks for letting me know of the 'DW' button)
• Enhanced the catwalk in area A.
• Added an extra flanking route for blue team on the left side of area B.
• Changed the right flank in area B.

Thank you everyone who participated in the playtest for the previous version. There was so much great feedback given! I have made the following changes in response:

• Area B has been completely redesigned. It is smaller and more complex.
• The main push in area A is less of a choke.
• Long sightlines in area A have been reduced.
• The left flank in area A has been changed. It is a shorter distance, more obvious and closer to main. But, there is less cover and no pickups inside it.
• Respawn times for Red and Blue have been changed.
• The hill for the cart at the start of area A now surrounds the cart on either side.
• The right flank in area A has been changed.

- Changed the starting respawn wave times for Red and Blue.
- After point A is captured, Blue team respawns faster and Red team spawns slower.

Based on play-testing and feedback received, area B has been completely changed.
Area A has had several significant changes too.

This iteration has one major change, the layout of Red spawn has been changed significantly.

Other general improvements are:

• Simplified some world brushes at start of area A.
• Cleaned up some textures at start of area A.
• Changed geometry of sniper perch at start of area B.
• Added Signage in Red spawn.

• Fixed a floating payload cart.
• Fixed the displacement texture z-fighting.
• Placed “No Build” volumes around the doors in red spawn.
• Fixed the height of blue spawn so the doors fit the height of the frame.

• Adjusted the round timer to be the same as Goldrush stage 1.
• Narrowed the wall surrounding the small red point A exit.
• Made the door leading to red’s small exit a one-way route back into the spawn room once point A is captured.
• Marked the Red spawn area A main door as unusable when A is captured.
