Map quality
I had a talk with deen about the qualities of maps. We have many new maps at the moment so we can only take the good ones and still have many releases.
In my opinion it is important to have different and cool unique maps, we don`t need a new collection of old parts.
This was only about gameplay, if mappers are not good at designing they should have the possibility to ask others to help them. A good gameplay is more important than a good design!
If there are many releases nobody tries to speedrun, everybody just wants to finish. It would be cool to have a speedrun culture .
So to all testers: if you don't know if a map is good enough you should talk with others about it. Look out for new creative parts/ideas
If you have another opinion than me you can discuss about this here

Re: Map quality
The speedruns were just an argument ofc nobody should be forced to do a speedrun, there are so many maps so you can play what you want

Re: Map quality
Important note for the testers: Please tell us as early as possible that the map is not good enough! We don't need to waste mappers' and testers' time and hopes.

Re: Map quality
But still explain why and take a short look on the map and editor and tell mapper where are the biggest fails.
Like "next time don't make all corners freeze, layers too big, veeeeeri tight, imagine 5 tees here, very bad balance"
or even more smaller things, if you want
so hes next map can be better
You can also say what was rly good idea so hes not sad that everything is so wrong.

Re: Map quality
It's also a matter of taste. Testers should only test for defined bugs. I think we should release all maps without any definable bugs. There will be always players who like them. If you like to speedrun just do it. You can let players know about your rank using the hall of fame.

Re: Map quality
No! We will not release all maps. I want DDNet to host a collection of good maps, not just everything someone mapped in 5 minutes.DoNe wrote:It's also a matter of taste.
