What’s the point of the provisional feedback thread?

Feedback threads are literally a joke it seems.

Like I said, the feedback threads are a joke. Don’t be surprised if people feel stupid when you ignore them.

Here’s a question for you. Is a ‘shit map’ you’ve played for seasons more fun than a ‘shit map’ which is new and different to play?

shit for shit I prefer the new. At least makes you think instead of camping the pool with a healthpack

Suddenly everyone hates lakeside?

I still think it’d be better to use tried maps which aren’t in etf2l like ashville first before testing around with others. UGC already tested and is still testing a ton of maps, some of which turned out to be viable but are for whatever reason shunned in etf2l. Every map in etf2l HL was an official Valve map or some slightly edited variation of it and now that we get a 100% custom one, it’s not one of the custom ones that UGC proved to be viable.

I’d rather see the transition happen first before testing with completely untried maps.

Ashville has been around forever, but has it really ever been a good map? It’s the same as Swiftwater, sitting there being mediocre and not being updated.

Official maps from Valve tend to work well in Highlander, since they are aimed at public servers and Highlander offers a similar style to public servers (compared to 6v6 at least).

If these custom maps UGC ‘proved’ to be viable, why aren’t they using them right now? They have a very similar map pool to us except ramjam instead of reservoir.

I’ll say it again, I would rather give a new upcoming map a chance rather than a map shown to be mediocre (especially when the map pool is so big – you can afford to take a risk.)

This is a such a terrible comment.

Ashville/ Coalplant: S13, S12, S11, S8, S6. Ashville is a solid part of the map pool that has been rotated out this season to try a new map which can be worked and improved on. Ashville is a solid balanced map and it will probably be back next season. The fact it has never been played in ETF2L is honestly a joke.

UGC rotates maps in and out of seasons (see steel/gravelpit) and when they add new maps, while some fail, it generally is done in an attempt to widen the map pool rather than an admin picking favourites (Reservoir, Intermodal) which are flawed in their fundamental design.

Oh and btw if you wanted to push a new map you should have used the Experimental Highlander Cup correctly rather than treating it as a joke and wasting everyone’s time.

that map was only introduced to us when Season was announced and im sorry Tuffy but we don’t see much of a development from your map, it’s been 2 weeks and still no new changes,

I’m actually working on decoration, I would love to change the layout but how do you want me to do it if no one gives more feedback? I understand why everyone is upset about this map in the season, but actually the only argument I see are: “map unfinished // no experimental cup // could be replaced by better maps from ugc”. Okay fine, but it won’t help me to change something from the layout of the map. So the only thing I can do is doing decoration stuff. I will organize some doublemix on it, but if I need to create a doublemix every time the map need to be played, absolutely no team’s gonna be ready for the week 6.

Yes, the map is in the season. I was quite surprised with that, but now all the team need to be ready for the week 6. So I hope that the map will now be played without me creating that doublemix. And I will get feedback, and I will be able to change the map.
