[UNAC] Maps & Weekly Map Pool

[Calamity]

-Each week, two maps will be randomly chosen from each category (closed/open), resulting in a pool of 4 maps. Captains may only choose maps from the current week's pool. The same map may not be in the pool two weeks in a row. The maps will be selected on the Saturday (day before) the current weeks matches begin.

Solace needs to be reviewed/edited , a glitch was found in the recent pickup party that allows top spawn to go behind the cliff and outside most of the map. Myself, john, mike, or anyone else who was there can show where it was.

 

[KoA John]

Yea if that doesn't get fixed the map needs to be thrown out, the glitch is that bad

 

[Wappaw_Pizza42]

How did Vendetta make it in the map pool? People really consider Village 2.0 to be balanced for both spawns?

Were these classifications voted on at some point? Ruins is an open map now?? Frosty Battle is less Open than Ruins?

 

[Cradoc]

This is looking a bit bare.

 

[Calamity]

It wouldn't matter too much, but now we have a map pool and one of the rules was it won't be the same map two weeks in a row. Which is now impossible on Mixed.

I think map classification was discussed in the first mumble meeting. I think the reason why Ruins was decided as an open map for this tourney is because we needed more open maps than just open plains and random plains, which is still up in the air right now. Compared to Frosty Battle, Ruins seem like it's a bigger map and there are more grounds where cav is most effective, aka flat ground.

As for vendetta, was this voted in the first meeting? I might have missed it since I was logged onto mumble from my phone and was driving at the time, so it kept connecting and disconnecting as the signal switched from 1 tower to the next.

Romans has issued an update for that map. See the CoMP thread. The latest version is on GitHub as of yesterday.

EDIT: I've noticed the bug report for Solace by pure chance. I am not monitoring this thread, so if you notice any bugs in a CoMP map and would like them to be fixed, please, post in the CoMP thread (the link is in my sig) or PM me directly.

 

[Calamity]

Until we obtain the random plains script it's being outed, according to votes. Not something I personally agree with but the community is picking the maps and rule set so this is what we get.

Also, we have decided to merge open and mixed maps. The map pool makes zero sense having only 3 maps available for 2 categories.

 

[Wappaw_Pizza42]

You really ought to expand the choices then-- 3 Open and 3 Closed. Having only 4 maps is too few.

its currently 6 open 5 closed

 

[Wappaw_Pizza42]

Is there going to be no discussion on this? Having only 4 maps instead of 6 and reducing mixed and open map options seems so extreme to just happen without any kind of discussion or vote.

Calamity and I are working on this.

I hope Dry Valley MOTF's were edited.....otherwise dear lord.

 

[KoA John]

Port assault really?

Who made these decisions, if the community decided which maps were getting tossed they should decide which maps are back in

Why in the world would we add the most unbalanced map in the game and the map everyone agreed on throwing out to be put back in

Surely there are some other maps that could be put in their place

There are Swaps. I fail to see how Port Assault is unbalanced. We've axed too many maps, and the result is an absolutely lackluster map pool. We've been forced to trim mixed even

If you think there are better maps - suggest them.

BTW, this was a decision supported by 4/5 admins. We would have had 5 if Kherv didnt hate the flag spawns on Dry Valley. 

 

[Wappaw_Pizza42]

How about we just get rid of the rule that says the maps can't repeat? Or change it to say that there won't be the same two maps repeated (allowing for one map to repeat)? This would give us back the classification system we all thought we were getting when we joined the tournament (Open / Mixed / Closed).

 

[KoA John]

I have to agree I want open/closed/mixed back, maybe we (captains) can have another full meeting and talk about putting in some balanced maps instead of port assault and dry valley, those motf spawns are just ridiculous

You have made this a community event with all captains involved thus far, it is not ideal to bring maps back that no one liked in the first place and got axed pretty hard

 

[Gelden]

ANOTHER MEETING I HEAR?

Let's borrow some Euro maps.

We need maps, and the tourny has started.
