stage 3 cap 1. Made some changes after i took this pic

Can't wait to play pyro on this point! Maybe create some rails or barriers around the point (not around the whole point, but broken up, kinda like in nucleus) to keep air-blasting pyros from being too overpowered.

I'm really stupid.

is the part I was talking about. Further from the camera is the large ramp going up that I took a few times as blue. The ramp that's closest to us (Going / direction) is the one that red easily walks up and ends up behind the offensive.

Picture from A2

Also, tomarrow expect an a2 fix because i forgot to set the direction of one of the func_doors to down

Looks a lot better!

I can't wait to test it more, as I had to leave halfway through the tests earlier.

Hey I played for almost an entire round on defense. We got rolled on every point except for the last one, where we held them for at least 8 minutes before we had to go. It could have just been the team balance favored the attacking team, but the last point does seem like it requires a very strong push compared to the rest of the points. But I did have a lot of fun even though I didn't get to play a full round.

Fun map to play. Blue kind of steam-rolled their way through most of the time but that tends to happen on most maps of this style when the server is that empty. Though the very last point took significantly longer to capture than all the others.

also, I found some visible nodraw surfaces:

That's just skybox textures blocking those faces

Will worry about visible faces if they affect gameplay or when i'm detailing

I'm gonna submit this for saturday's gameday so hopefully i can get a better understanding of what needs changing

I liked the new 3-1 point and the changes to 3-2. I felt the 3-2 point felt more dynamic and should be a little harder to cap - it didn't happen that way because there were so few people, but I think on a fuller server it should be more difficult to capture. Theoretically.

Played pretty damn well tonight - couldn't say how well it'll balance on a more full server. Really liked stage 3.

Couple of people said it already I'm sure, but just want to reiterate that arrows and cp overlays (A, B, etc.) would help - although the layout seemed good enough that I didn't get particularly lost even after first joining.

Spairoh moozak bro.

Spooky Swamp.

I love that music
But hate that hard level
Curse you haiku bugs

Looks Good

Gameday bump

 

[Penguin]

Played nicely, but why does the water kill you?

Gameday: It seemed whoever was on the the attacking team generally just pushed right on through except for a hiccup at 2-2 where a single sentry covers most of the ways in. They solved that with a rush of some DR spies.

 

[Tinker]

Was fun, but yeah, it's too easy for BLU. Now, that may be because we don't know any good sentry spots yet, but still.

Respawn timers need some tweaking.

I don't know what it is, but that last cap point is unlike every other point on the map. It is so much more difficult to cap than all the others. It seems each other point gets rolled pretty quickly, except for this one, which I've only seen capped one time out of 4-5 times playing the map. The other ones all seem pretty easy for Blue to take, and that's a problem. Even though I felt the team I was on was a lot better, both sides rolled as blue.

You can probably cut down on the round times by like 3-4 minutes because there's almost always about that much time + 1-2 minutes left when Blue caps.
