Suggestion - make unhookable much darker. Parts with tele 9 and especially tele 5 dont fit on novice server. Looks like moderate 0

For me map is worse to release (rather need hard rework with adding few interesting things). Reason : its just 10 unbalanced parts, cant even get it as map. Background of map very unlikely for me, most of insctiptions is just useless. Dont caring about map. Waiting huge changes. Good luck!

I saw the map today and I have to say I don't like it
it feels unbalanced - it starts very good, with stoppers, there is finally a chance to test hooks and angles, how edgehook works
only a few parts later I have to make hooks that are at brutal level, in the air, without stoppers
the difficulty increases too fast - this is a bit problem
it's a bit boring - every part looks the same, I though there will be other parts too and many edgehooks
not sure if a training map should look like this

a training map is always unbalanced as the difficulty increases after every part but i have to agree with saavik that it might increases too fast and that its way too hard at the end.

I am not a tester so I am unsure if giving my input about this map is the correct thing to do but I thought the opinion of someone who is fairly new to edge hooks might be good.
As mentioned before it is expected that the difficulty of each subsequent part will be higher than the part before. However there is one part where I felt that the difficulty rose too quickly. I am talking about the part mentioned by BannZay in his last screenshot. I had no issues with any other edge hook on this map but this one was really atrocious. Other than that I think the last part is a bit too hard (third edge hook is pretty annoying). Also, I think the difficulty is weirdly spread out. The common thing to do would be that the first part is the easiest and the last one the hardest. However the part mentioned in BannZay's last screenshot feels harder than the last part of the map. At least to me, may be there is something wrong with me not the part, not sure.
Lady Saavik mentioned the map being boring. In some ways I agree with her but on the other hand it is a training map. First it shows how edge hooks work (parts with stoppers) and then it gives a very similar part but without the stoppers. I think that this is honestly fine since one learns by repeating the same thing over and over again.

How we could vote for this map on test server? It doesn't work even after manual upload map to server.
It's sad. Because that map only one where u can explain to noobs how to do edge hooks right way. :(
