(8)MC-Feast or Famine (another fun one yay!)

[crimsongeneses]

Here's another fun 8 player map I made. The general idea was to have a fairly balanced 8 player map that could be used for FFAs or random team games. I really like the way it turned out :D. Also if you play it UMS it's TvBvLvR.

Enjoy!

[BestTarsier]

I dunno man, you should think about balance in your maps rather than "fun" cause really balance and fun are more related than you seem to think =P

[crimsongeneses]

What's unbalanced? I've played the map many times without noticing any balance issues. It plays exactly as I intended it to. And... it's fun :D

[Ahzz]

yeah. you have. the thing is, you're a noob, and your opponent is a noob. neither complains if they lose to something because of the map, even though some things certainly favor one race over another. besides, its not good looking at all. its only simple stuff easy to copy of platform to another. all your maps are like this.

and besides, its for us to decide if its fun.

[crimsongeneses]

Dammit Ahzz, again, constructive criticism. How did you ever get to be a staff member when you can't follow the rules of your own board?

EDIT: You know what, I'm outta here. I don't want to be a part of a board where the staff is allowed to bully around new members. There aren't that many genuinely nice people out there... but you lost one today.

[Ahzz]

not staff of warboards.

And you have been given constructive criticism. in my opinion you're just one of those guy who flush all the real advice and only able to see "such a good job" comments.

[Ktan]

To be fair, though harshly put, Ahzz has been giving useful criticism.

This map looks VERY plain. there doesn't even appear to be a major use of levels. In some ways, your maps are quite well put together aesthetically, but eye candy is not the only factor in a good map. The other ones were interesting looks-wise, but this one is very spartan.

[ExcaliburMM]

All right.
Crim, you have angered the by far most critical person to ever walk into WBs with a melee in one hand and a backhand in the other.

Your maps are by noobs for noobs.
What this means:
There is no concept. No main/nat/expo layout. Little to no doodads, little to no decoration. Its repeditive, ugly, and NOT fun. You know why its NOT fun? Because i cant see why anyone who knew how to do something as simple as micro a vulture would ever degrade themselves by playing one of these maps.

You need to develop concepts and layouts. You need to stop making 8 player maps until you get some skill. You need to make better decoration and use more doodads. Try a (2) on 96x96 or a (4) on 128x128. Whenever you want to try to make a real map, ill be waiting to help you out.

You can say they are how you intended but if your going to post them here you can expect an earful of what the hell do you think your doing from me and anyone else who knows what theyre talking about because you obviously dont.

[bobboy]

That was completely constructive critisism. And besides, most of the people here are genuinly nice, until you annoy the fuck out of them, or if you are just too pushy.

You have achieved one or more of the above.

[Basan]

Fellas let's please keep in mind that I like my 'meat' well done, not scorched. ;p

[TitanWing]

Seeing as how he left...

/thread

It's quite obvious he's not really trying to improve or spend a decent amount of time on these maps anyways. He's made what...three maps in one week? I might make ONE in two weeks.

[Kawagata]

- One layer
- Zero doodads
- Too simple
and again
- Too simple

[Ktan]

He's gone.

I personally feel the method of departure was a little immature, as well as the events surrounding it, but it's always sad to see a member go.
