The Best/Worst of Devastation

[XDOOM]

Hey guys, I am looking for ways to improve the zone, and things to keep the same.

 

To make this topic fair, please post what you think is the best part of devastation, and what is the worst part (the part you want changed) and how you want to see it improved.

 

Please comment on other peoples thoughts, especially suggestions.

 

Best - The Zone Community (the best players in subspace i say)

Worst - Map ... It is a little too big and spacious, so possible a similar, smaller design would work out very well. A new tileset maybe (sometime either similar, but just new tiles, or brand-spanking new and delicious!)

likes: settings, current gfx, bases, the .buy options , and the people who play it

 

i think we need to implement some sort of league... an official dueling league or a basing league with bot run games (what do others think?)

i think we need to implement some sort of league...

i agree with that, but we need a bigger population. maybee a roster size of 2 people in 2v2 league,

 

i think all the settings are great and all the players are 2. maybe the emp bombs stall energy to long.

 

and aqlso i think the shark should have level 3 bombs or emp.

Likes: Settings, bases and the players

 

Dislikes: Map is way to large, and bases are too far apart, make overall map smaller, and just make the bases closer to eachother.

Or add more bases?

When you look at current map, you can tell the map would have to change in order for more bases.

This version of the map actually used to fit close up to 8 bases

 

However, yes, I definately think we need a smaller map with less "free space"

 

I think for now 4 bases is enough.

[»SOS]

No, actually this version did not hold 8 bases. This is a modified one.

 

I was thinking that maybe I should post my views here, as well... but you have never really listened to what I have to say, X, so... I'll let the players talk.

Yeah I figured it was edited a little, but its still big.

 

Your opinons are welcomed just fine ...

I think the map's overall size has to shrink at least until we grow the population. A lot of changes have to be made for us to get new people interested. I think the move to ASSS will help us a lot. It will give us more options. In order to make the right changes though, we need the input of the users so please say something.

Why would you want to shrink the map?!

 

Even as it is now if you manage to clear enemy deep in your base you wont make it to front before they come again. If it was even smaller you couldnt push enemy out barely anything even if you kill them all.

The only reason to shrink the map is to remove the "dead" space around the bases ... there are lots of places on the map that have nothing near it ... no bases, no goals, nothing ... a good place to just hide flags or run away with the flags to win easy.

 

THe idea is to shrink the map such that the action is condensed and there isn't too much "dead" space.

I like the people who Play Devastation, I also dont mind the settings.

 

I think its a good idea to experiment with diffrent tile sets, or walls for the bases. It might be a good idea, to add 6 bases instead of 4. And definatly make the map more smaller and compact. And id also like to say a league wouldnt be too bad. I think with my squad involved, we might have enough people to set something up.

[Gibbit]

I agree with almost EVERYTHING said here lol, I'll attempt to make a condensed map I have a few ideas to keep action space and all that too, but the only way too clear space around bases is if the bases are attached then you have to make a new map for each base change. I'll make somthing basic in the next few weeks and see how you like it ^^

[Hexeen]

I raither like the map and settings, tho, instead of having just the two goals.. Make them so they have bases around them, and as for taking up space.. Just fill it in with tiles so it is set out more like a maze, but so your able to go all over within the map, sure theres not a big enough population for 6 bases, but it'd be fun all the same. You never know, it may attact more people.
