Made the end a little more exciting.

Got some hype showing the map to people on the SA trashmap.
Any brave testers wanna take on this challenge XD

Thanks in advance XD

Hey i looked at your map and i think it is pretty good.
The second half of the Jetpack part(cp 25) is in my opinion a bit to hard compared to the rest of the map in terms of difficulty(or I simply suck)

Did a quick test with Freezestyler and Starkiller.

Most parts are pretty decent, though a lot filler parts are too generic:

• Gores parts can be improved, you have more options than straight tunnels
• The second and third deep part are too boring, just simple gores with a dummy
• CP 25 is too hard (like Tropo said)
• The laser solo part is too long, you don't want to have to wait long times for your partner
• Tele 34 part doesn't fit in the map, looks like you just added it because there was free space :s

Also, you should spawn in solo to prevent blocking on full servers. The solo on top doesn't help here.
The map should be teamforced (2-6 players), way too less space in general and a lot parts will cause blocking even in small teams.

Design:

• Tele should be more different to freeze. Very hard to differentiate when they are beside each other and impossible if not.
• Grey Midground should be changed as it is the same color as jungle_main and thus can be confusing
• Novashock should be placed somewhere else.. you could confuse him as a real player at that part and fail because of it.
• Speeders on edges shouldn't be marked in the design, looks bad and isn't needed as they are irrelevant for the gameplay.

If you adjust the parts I pointed out, the map should be Brutal 2*.

PS: There are still some entity bugs that I didn't screenshot, would be nice if you could search them by yourself

EDIT: Changed my opinion about teamforcing, it makes more sense to just add a team 0 friendly beginning

God damn jao, your entites are so ugly

Nothing is better than standard entities

Thanks Tropo and jao for the test.

Fixed basically everything XD

All Tropo's suggestions fixed or changed, the cp at tp20 was part of a secret yes XD Its gone now though
The jetpack part (CP25) weirdly is the only part of the map I find easy XD I guess if you know the trick its not too bad, we did make it slightly easier though.

jao went all out so here is what we did:
Replaced/Adjusted boring gores parts
Redid Deep Parts
Laser solo chopped in half
Freeze colour adjusted
Midground grey darkened
NovaShock Moved
Removed Speeder markings where not needed

For your screenshots, all fixed they way recommended, although to answer your question about tp 31, you don't have to edge there to do (unless doing it with a dummy i think) we did make this part easier though.

Searched for all the entity bugs we could find and fixed them too XD

Thanks again for all the help, hope the new parts will be enjoyed

Soapy you missed some bugs

Also to add, we didnt fix the area with the switch. We left that because we didnt want players to go all the way back, as there werent other checkpoints we wanted to add for TP.
*Edit - Only saw Jao's edit now so i will update the first part later with Soapy if he is online or will do it myself.

Hope the first part has enough space not to cause any problems now, Jao.

Let’s go over the map together. Catch me in-game or on Discord please.

Fixed all the things you mentioned yesterday Jao. Hope thats everything.

Worstwish you can search for your name now
