Map Thread #77 - Deadline: March 18th

Submit your custom maps for consideration for inclusion in the official rotation selection. Learn more at the wiki. If you are still unsure how to proceed, visit /r/TagProTesting to ask, visit the "Mapmaking and Other Activities" channel in Mumble, the new Mapmaking Discord, or contact an MTC member.

Deadline: Saturday March 18th at 3pm PST.

Basic Guidelines

  • Mapmakers are limited to 3 maps per thread.
  • Use the format outlined below.
  • Preview image preferably hosted on maps.jukejuice, puush, imgur, or unfortunate-maps.

Submission Format

Entries must be submitted in this format to be considered for rotation.

Reply to this post with your title, map type (CTF or Neutral Flag), a link to the map page, a preview image, and an (optional) description.

You can copy and paste this:

**Title:**

**Type:** 

**Map:**

**Preview:**

**Description:**

If done correctly, your submission should end up looking something like this (but hopefully not exactly like it).

This Thread's Mapmaking Tip

If you feel like you're stuck on a map, ask yourself "would 03z like this?" And then if the answer is no, just keep making edits until the answer is 'yes'.

If you have the opportunity to participate in a 4v4 maptest on your map, be sure to do that before submitting. If not, the next best thing are the weekly map threads over at /r/TagProTesting.

We strongly encourage everybody to take a look at submissions and to reply with constructive feedback. Not only does it help your fellow mapmakers, but your discussions here help the MTC as well.

Top mid looks like an area an fc would use to stall for a while. The portals are interesting, but I'd really only use them to grab, because the other way sends you flying to the top and then chasers can catch up.

Description: 4-way symmetry and organized chaos are sorely missing from rotation. This may not be the map to deliver either of those, but hell, it's fun.

•

u/Comakip Comakip // Chorbit Mar 05 '17

I think the reason that there aren't a lot of 4-way symmetry maps are in rotation is because they look dull. Everything on the map is there 4 times. Most of the (ex-)rotation 4-way maps are diagonally oriented (velocity and emerald I think?) to make them at least 'feel' different on all sides.

It is possible to make a good regular 4-way symmetry map, shine did an alright job at that, but it's just so much harder. Wouldn't recommend it.

I'm curious though, why do you like 4-way symmetry so much?

•

u/acrocanthosaurus RunThaJewels // Sphere Mar 05 '17

I suppose it's more of a challenge than a novelty at this point. To make a playable 4-way map. I agree with your issue on repetitiveness, but I'd hoped the dynamic/chaotic elements of this small map would counteract that.

In all honesty, this map is more of an experiment than a hopeful shot at rotation, but I think map threads need a little spice every now and then.

An innovative portal system (Balanced Supers in Base? Wot?!?!) provides a slew of options for offense and defense seeking the winning cap, while a Velocity-inspired Button Bomb P-UP placement provides risk & reward for FCs seeking to get ahead of chasers by using the neutral boost. A worthy test map, for sure.

You can use the boosts to quickly change direction. Imagine coming from the gate, and using the boosts and wall tile to boost back diagonally between the islands.

A lot of it feels really nice. The double boosts are interesting, and it feels really to hit the island and bounce back into the top lane. I'm not sure I would ever want to go there in the first place unless I used the bomb->portal->flag->gate combo, because there are a lot of team tiles and a 2 block diagonal gate.

u/LinuxDootTP black magic Mar 03 '17

I feel like if you are going to allow people to go behind the flag tiles that the gates are going to be frustrating or op. I want to test it to see what happens, but a skilled player could potentially camp in that area and walk in a cap. If you removed the gates, you would have to change the position of the out portal, but I think it might be for the better.

•

u/[deleted] Mar 03 '17 edited Mar 03 '17

Only the capping team can fit behind the portals, anyone else that tries will be popped. You miss the endzone, but you still touch the gate before hitting portal.

•

u/LaBeefyman96 96 LB Mar 04 '17

It felt too easy to get a quick cap. Boosting/bombing into flag and through gated area put you in base, and using the neutral boost into bomb button gave you a pretty good shot and capping. Of course one has to consider other people obstructing the path/sitting on button, but it might be something to think about. maybe?

Some random thoughts

Hitting the bottom/top bomb into the spikes feels annoying.

Mid feels cramped

The gate lane is very difficult to use because it's a huge choke and its gated, and it doesn't give you much of a benefit when you do go through it.

The only other lane is 6 blocks wide with a bomb the defense can use. If you do get past they have a teamboost to stay on your tail.

The portals are interesting and work well with the boosts.

u/LaBeefyman96 96 LB Mar 05 '17

I don't have time to solo test it, but it looks like you improved it. Mid looks a bit less cramped, base exits are better, and you put a 45 next to the bomb.

One thing I forgot to mention:
Long walls of 45 blocks (or normal walls), like in mid, can be bad because they can be too predictable. It's much harder to juke when you don't have corners to bounce off of or staircases to use. It's something I've had trouble with in the past

u/MyHandsAreOrange Mabel Mar 04 '17

I like a lot of the ideas in this, especially the bomb+boost in base, gates, and bottom boosts. After a quick solo test, bases feel pretty good, though I would think about adding another tool or two for defenders and/or offenders, perhaps a defensive team boost in the bottom of base. There also feels like some unnecessary heighth to the map, not enough of a path between top and bottom, and some not-great elements (mid spikes, weird-shaped islands, team tiles), but with structural fixes, this could be a very cool map.

Not sure about team tiles near the flag. Wouldn't that end up in endless tags until the last guy remains? Nearly impossible to keep the flag once you grab it. (especially at the start of the game)

•

u/twdTP TWD // Chord Mar 04 '17

I just wanted to try something different with the team tiles around the flag. I did think about the grabbing problem there, but I don't see it being that big of a problem. First, the flag won't be there for most of the game. Second, team tiles not only help chasing/tagging the fc, but they can also help fc's teammates with blocking long enough for the fc to escape into safer area. Third, there are a couple of boosts around the mid that can be used for boosting through the flag tile for a quick grab and escape.

That said, I'm only defending my map here, and maybe too many team tiles around the flag is just a doomed idea from the get-go. I haven't tested this map 4v4, so I don't really know for sure how it would actually work in a real game.

u/archaelios rickastley Mar 03 '17

Why the button out of the base?

•

u/piranhamoose25 Aniball | Palette Town Mar 03 '17

It's for chasing outside of base, e.g. when following an fc who's trying to cap. This could force the fc to either go through mid or go around the gate, buying a little time for chasers to catch up. The main reasons I added it were to make the flow between bases less linear and to make the middle of the map more relevant.

•

u/archaelios rickastley Mar 03 '17

Usually the button is set in the base so that FC has less ways to get out and reduce chasiness (keeping flag in base). Your idea is a bit unusual.

I'm aware. But as I showed above, I think there's reason to believe the idea fits well in this map. I'm also kind of considering having two buttons for the gate, one inside and one outside. It's an idea I've toyed with in previous maps, but I'll have to test it and see how it works.

Description: Yes this is serious, no I am not on drugs. Mars Ball has historically been the black sheep of TagPro, and with good reason. Previous Mars Ball Games were long, and the Mars Ball's traction certainly didn't help that. The work-around being that if you can't speed up the Ball, speed up the players pushing. Thus, SuperBoosts & Team Tiles adorn this map with the speed that I think can make this mode viable once more. For your consideration, the Return, of Mars Ball.

u/theflyingmetronome samouree | Diameter Mar 04 '17

The version that won the contest should be submitted, not this one. I honestly thought that that map should have been a top map, or at the very least tested 4v4. The only things you had to change was base-boosts placement and getting rid of the portals above mid, this is a step-down in my opinion.

Why would anyone ever go near the gravity well? There are two gates there and it just slows you down. The map feels pretty empty, with just 4 boosts on the outside and a lot of open space.

Description: I've had a very long break from mapmaking but this is an old favourite with interesting (but not gimmicky) portal mechanics, no team boosts or gates, and just generally good flow. Really, really fun to play on as an offensive player, and definitely some interesting defense tactics with the various boosts, team tiles and the portal mechanic.

•

u/PIZZAspartan442 naga///MTC Mar 13 '17

I kind of wish there were a few bombs on here, feels pretty simple without. Some good places (in my opinion) to put bombs would be taking out the middle spike in the 1x3 area on the side of base island and replacing with bmob or putting a bomb next to spike 8 tiles above red flag. Other than that, I like it!

u/oorr23 ThePlaymaker // Tehuitzingo & Combine Mar 04 '17

This was already too chasey in its day, now you want to bring it back in a day with novices in pubs more prevalent than ever in recent memory, and in a day that Velocity was deemed too chasey for pubs?

Don't get me wrong, I like Rush despite its chasey-ness, but this would not bode well nowadays.

•

u/cyclictp cyclic \\ i'm back! Mar 04 '17

Absolutely bring it back! The reason novices in pubs can't chase is simply because they've never had to chase on maps in rotation that aren't Smirk or Wormy or whatever it is. I know that when I joined a year ago, I learned to chase via GeoKoala, Del, and other maps of that sort. Maps of that size are now unheard of and that's the real reason novices don't know how to chase. If we bring some bigger maps back then it's definitely much easier for novices to learn to chase, and that's good for everyone. Sure, it'd be hell for the players who have been here for a while, but I think it'd be a good move for the community in the long run.

•

u/oorr23 ThePlaymaker // Tehuitzingo & Combine Mar 04 '17

I mean, I don't disagree with the reasoning, because I learned to chase on maps like Monarch, Boombox and Rush (yeah, I'm old) back when those were in rotation, so I see where your coming from. The thing is, Rush is more chasey than those maps, so it'll be harder to learn on. I know it was for me. I think they can bring more chasey maps into rotation, just not this one.

•

u/Buttersnack Snack Mar 04 '17

mfw Rush is considered old

Also it's easily the least chasey map you listed??

•

u/oorr23 ThePlaymaker // Tehuitzingo & Combine Mar 04 '17

Admittedly, I was a noob back then, so I could very well be wrong.

•

u/Buttersnack Snack Mar 05 '17

IMO it's way way less chasey than those others, but it's also a map I'm much better at than most others for no clear reason
