Pre-testing/Opinions

I know that the testers are annoyed by my fixing behavior in the testing section, i also want to make this stop so i created this topic for everyone to make an easy opinion for my unreleased maps.
I only want to know if you would like to play something like these map/maps (i actually dont know how often i will do this or if i am allowed to do so)
Also feel free to tell me if there is somethign terrebily wrong, smaller stuff belongs in the real testing phase.
this way i can decline the maps by myself and dont have to waste testers time.
So lets start with the first map here:
It is a dummy map designed like ctf5, with parts a litle bit inspired by silex's Adragaline.

[12 - 4 was the result for this poll, so majority is for the map]

We thought about an open test server, but people wouldn't play the map at the release, if they know it already.
Just grab some friends, maybe some foes and ask them about your map. Well you need to know who to ask

I can't speak for others, but I'd still show up at release - I enjoy playing with so many different people.

I think an open test server would be great, maybe turn it in an event once a week with announcement. I think it would be enjoyable for players and hopefully give lots of feedback to mappers. It doesn't have to be entire maps either, a few minutes worth of gameplay would be plenty and mappers could get opinions from players, such as "do you want more of this?"

Maybe make a poll?

first off... i have no clue how i can reset a poll or create a new one. so this time you just gotta post +1 or -1. (help)
Ok this map is uploaded for longer on my chanel but not yet posted.
so maybe you have seen it already. please notice that the server messages dont ever add up because i cut the demo when i died in the run.
you can not collide only for after the first parts to avoid blocking in bigger teams.
map is mant for 2-4 players(smaller groups)

The result is 11 - 9, so the map is slightly favoured.
