View Full Version : New Addition to Old maps make them less fun

Dear CMP, map-makers, and FA-makers,

The MB Team is always making new features that get added to the Full Authentic mode. I personally don't like most of the addition but that's my own personal issue. Mappers make maps and add new features in. GOOD. But new features should NEVER EVER EVER be added to classic, solid Fa's unless the new build mechanics call for it.

You are mappers. They are your maps. You can do whatever you want. But when things like blind are added to Arena, all it does is make people not want to play it anymore. When FA's like Kashyyyk are changed, and those changes make that map never played again, there's a problem.

Now I know trying out new things is good, you may even find something that make the FA the greatest thing ever. But one: You should test it before you release it. And two: Is it worth changing a classic?


Best Regards,
Lightning

Have you played MacZombies lately? It has DOTF doors now:|. And the classes are redone

Would be nice if there was a version that had the classic FA and the other with the FA maker's way.

MacZombies always had DotF doors but THIS time you are able to crouch-walk through them when closed, I thought all that was changed was the fa but myself and many others have ended up walking through those doors while they are closed.

What really annoys me is when FA-makers add in 'omg new powers' just for the sake of it. The addition of Blind into Arena ruins the FA, UL totally screwed up Delta Prime FA, Dust 2 FA and Kashyyyk to a lesser degree, and the list goes on.

No it doesn't.


UL totally screwed up Kashyyyk

No he didn't, in fact I think only good things happened to Kash in the new CMP.

And Lightning, I would assume the reason FAs get redone and new features added is because they get boring after several builds of the same old stuff you've been playing with for a year or so.

blame UL, he messed them ;/

Maczombies map itelf wasn't changed, because Rusty (orginal map maker) disappeared some time ago and I doubt anyone in cmp still have .map file for it. Passing through closed doors may be result of fixing scaled character's hitboxes by mbteam.

Not always, but if you give random new features to every class, it will ruin FA.

i agree with mashirafen and partly with xalard, it's good to add a few new things to characters, but if you redo the fa, it will suck. Furthermore, some FA's starve to get some powers, like for example the ravager one, hole in the force anyone? Nihilus is a MASTER of force drain and he doesent even have drain level 1 -.-.
