i gave some examples of old racers, people who were/are known in the race community, they can tell us if we would "destroy" or "fix" the maps.
some bugs might be nostalgic or something like that, experienced racers might know this better, i would like to ask them, before i touch "their" maps.
maggi e.g. if you change teleporters in a map, you might change the gameplay so speedruns would be harder/easier and i don`t think that different maps on different servers are good (just an example, maybe this is different in your case).

Entities bugs can be fixed with adding something in the design, so gameplay won't be changed. (Someone already did on that bright blue map.)

po² aka popo aka popokopf, i think he made some race maps, hosts some servers and there are maps like "run_4popo", i guess you should know him somehow
i still think that we can`t just fix all maps like we want, sometimes teleporters are random, so if we change the design, we would change the whole gameplay
at least sometimes we should talk about fixes instead of just doing them, we can`t generalize bugs in race

Jep, then we would need a race bug section, so we can spam the bugs there...also with adding design the map shouldn't get hurt because the gameplay stay the same, but you dont randomly get teleported. Really sucks without entities sometimes...

I.e.. 'run_keksi' actually has stoppers but ddrace uses other entites and they get ignored, should probably converted

run_keksi is best example, after getting teleported back 5 times I just left the server ^^

I heard from a staff member, that everyday a hard and a lower map should be released.
I'm really dissapointed that there was no 4 or 5* map released in the last two days, just maps that every noob can finish.
Well done Kevin

if there are no reasons to complain, just invent new ones

you can`t even wait for like 1-3 weeks? try rank1 on run_get50, if you want to play race/improve your race skills.
