old map week

[nolan123]

Hey, I was thinking if for maybe 1 month there was 5 days where we switched back to the old map, not the settings just the map, this might help us with the pop. just a thought.

Or just a new map in general?

[Sharpflame]

The new base set should be up any day now... hopefully very soon.

[nolan123]

but when ?

[oid]

I think it would be nice if hs settings were reverted to what they were before reset, since the current settings are horribly imbalanced and not fun.

[Traced.]

That idea we tried in OF. We rotated maps every couple of days and got a nice pop boost for a couple days. Overall is more trouble then its worth and people still complained.

Changing maps is more trouble for us because of all of the settings we need to change for that to work with things like sector transit and shops

[Bak]

that stuff doesn't use the elvl region names?

[Dr Brain]

Some does, most doesn't. The elvl doesn't give us enough flexibility in map editors.

Then set it up to work with Regions

Ani, seriously, try reading posts.

The only map editor I know of that doesn't let you use regions is SSME, which is old and outdated and no one should be using it now, because every feature is replicated in another map editor. But I'm pretty sure you don't use it anyway, since you use special tiles that can't be found in SSME. So explain what map editor you use that can read special tiles fine but can't handle regions?

[Dr Brain]

Again, try reading. Current map editors don't give us enough flexibility. Not that they can't create regions. We use regions quite extensively for a lot of things. We just can't use them for everything yet.
