[void escarp]

it was designed by @visual elm not me

[visual elm]

yooooooo thats meee 🙂

thanks for the credit!

[void escarp]

yea I wanted to share it in Discord hope you don't mind

[visual elm]

I don't mind at all! 🙂
I would of posted the video in here myself but I am not a high enough level yet lol

[void escarp]

I would've posted it in feedback but I don't have image perms there

[alpine wind]

The new map is pretty much a revamped Seoul
Some of the places shown in the trailer connect to Seoul a lot
Here is a video showing alot of the similarities, though it's just speculation gotta wait for the full release of the map (not my video btw)
https://youtu.be/Wn0Y0S1G0_w?si=rYCFJcYb6tQW6bUn

[void escarp]

yea we know

[alpine wind]

Just for the people who don't

[rare sable]

F

[proud zephyr]

For S5 I want a fantasy castle map

[rare sable]

G

[visual elm]

a castle would actually be great lol

[proud zephyr]

fr like a map like this would go so hard

[visual elm]

big agreee.

[alpine wind]

Imagine a dragon event for that map

[proud zephyr]

that would be sick

[glass ice]

I want a map with a ton of vertical traversal

[patent ibex]

I mean personally having maps set in the past with ones set in the future would make the map selection have a nice variety in layouts and themes

The games set in a future where we play virtual bloodsport so the arena could literally be anything but IMO all the maps being set in the future would be so boring especially since many arena shooters are set in the future (halo overwatch marvel rivals , etc)

[patent ibex]

That could be a fun map idea, maybe if was centered around just one huge structure, would be interesting how a map centered around one building could play out

[urban quest]

that's crazy! what a wild story!

[rare sable]

That would be a very fun idea, itd prob play similar to how the high rise alt plays out

[zealous patrol]

Blowing up a castle would be cool

[rare sable]

Would we want a fantasy castle or real world based castle tho?

[slim violet]

The castle could be a house of a sponsor

[iron igloo]

Have you guys noticed that in the SYS$HORIZON there is a room similar to the ray tracing rendering demo image/room?

[craggy minnow]

ye

it's on the wiki pretty sure

[iron igloo]

OHHHH i see it :D

its called "Cornell Box", thats cool :3

[olive bridge]

the new map is nightmare fuel to my friend he always falls out of bounds

[harsh creek]

ye but would be pretty similar to monaco if talking abt interior of the castle

[harsh creek]

real based from scotland or smhtng plsssss

[proud zephyr]

either one. I hope they add some new weather that looks like the one in the picture though either way.

[alpine wind]

Judging by how they release maps in order from real location and fiction type map season after would have to be real location, fiction would be season 6

I think it could be cool seeing a real life location of an actual castle

[tough jetty]

i wish kyoto wasnt so buggy cause honestly its a beautiful map and not too bad to play on

[stable solar]

Las Vegas map is fun, but the place needs a makeover.

[rare sable]

Somethring from Scotland would be perfect, maybe j call it Braveheart

[rare sable]

How do you mean?

[rare sable]

I would prefer a real life location castle too for sure

[vagrant geode]

yes

[proud zephyr]

like a late evening one with clouds

[modern moth]

Tokyo is ok

[zealous patrol]

Someone on Reddit suggested an "inception map".

Since it's a virtual game show this could fit.

Just wonder how it would play and stuff...

[austere steppe]

aquarium map

[proud zephyr]

wait that would be dope but it would melt people's pcs if they had water physics and stuff could float. but still cool nonetheless

[void fossil]

would be cool, but we are limited by the fact that a map has to be destrucable

which is unique to the finals, which is cool

[ornate trench]

I guess if they decide to add a water system then I can see it happening, just imagine it exploding and fighting underwater

[gentle portal]

kyoto water areas are already so mid 😭

[proud zephyr]

that would be pretty cool if you could swim underwater and with underwater bullet physics and all of the debris from the stuff floating

[ornate trench]

But imagine it not mid

[proud zephyr]

they could have like submarines and stuff\

[alpine wind]

They need to get rid of that slow walk thing in the water that's so stupid

[zealous patrol]

Brand new flood event where lower levels of a map have water in is.

The water kinda operates like a localized "low gravity effect"

Arena Items float in the water kinda like the alien invasion event so long as those items are in the flooded area.

Contestants spawn in masks if they enter the water.

I think it's possible to have these effects in game. it's just a matter of how good they wanna make it look.

Performance to aesthetics ratio

[zealous patrol]

so smart

[alpine wind]

Nuh uh

[ornate trench]

I don't think they'd need masks given they're in vr

[dim shuttle]

yo, im trying to destroy an entire map in the finals in a private match, if you want to help join the code 4SI4. Tip, bring a sledgehammer.

[dawn gazelle]

kyoto is so ass that minimum 2 people leave at the start of every quick cash before the map even loads in

[austere steppe]

or the water could just disapear if broken

map ideas for the aquarium the water could just disapear if broken or it could be the only thing not destructable on the map , a map where the map is bigger than you like a big bedroom or kitchen, wild west , giant maze garden map

[junior cradle]

Brick cube map

[neat atlas]

@void fossil

[neat atlas]

Lol

[serene whale]

Nah we need a snow and ice map for next season. Something set in Sweden or Norway.

But with slippery ice physics (Frozen bassin or something)

[harsh creek]

geneva?

holy shit wait i got the best idea for s5 map.
A snowy icy glacier area with snowfall and ice and small icelandic lodges. but in the map theres a volcanic region with a magma basin and a volcano with multiple lava vents.
so lava and ice somehow in one map.
thats iceland for u

[green topaz]

https://youtu.be/Wn0Y0S1G0_w?si=OGJIuur7nvjVMhuo is this confirmed, are we getting a new map alonside this

[queen ridge]

Wdym

There is 1 new map coming in season 4

[green topaz]

I mean a remade seul would be kinda cheeks if you ask me

Watch the vid

[queen ridge]

It’s not a Seoul remake. It just has some elements of Seoul in it

[green topaz]

That was all of seoul except one section?

So is the map twice as big

[queen ridge]

I mean it’s not really a 1:1 recreation. Layered floors with railings and an open field with an indoor area below it are just concepts that are shared with the map

[green topaz]

Cuz if more than half of your map is reused, then we have a problem

[queen ridge]

It’s not reused, just iterated on

[green topaz]

Ok, but if the general flow of the map is similar- meaning i spawn in and know exactly what is where, then this is not a new expirience

I just think its rather lazy. You could have just made a new floorplan... but we will see, if the rest of the update is filled with new stuff, than its ok

The layout is virtually the same... and i just dont like that they did that. But if the map plays diffrentky than thats ok

[nocturne apex]

Construction is completely different, along with hospital

[earnest goblet]

Non eucledian SYS$Escher when?

[nocturne apex]

Probably never

Sadly

[fluid bloom]

coding the gravity for that would be a nightmare, i can't see something like that being added any time soon. a man can dream though for sure

[feral glade]

whats the worst/best map

[neat atlas]

Best two kyoto and syshorizen

[void escarp]

imagine a map like this

[earnest goblet]

Looks great

[spark sage]

perfect for a nordic/viking style season

[void escarp]

maybe for S5 since it releases in winter

[spark sage]

hopefully

[void fossil]

newyork

[quiet hawk]

When would s5 end assuming it follows the same pattern?

[austere steppe]

we need snowboards if we get a snow map

[urban quest]

why havent they done this yet! no excuses!

[austere steppe]

something like this for winter maybe map idea from ring of eylisium

[serene prawn]

would be awesome
imagine snowboarding while fighting someone

[serene prawn]

We need a map with northern lights as theme

[austere steppe]

Also they should really make the aquarium map the wate could just disapear if broken or be the only non destructable thing

[errant marten]

There should be a snow map with igloos and the only stuff u can use is lights with snowballs

[weary sluice]

what if the new map is just a reworked Seoul and we havent seen the new map?

[queen ridge]

i dont think so. seoul is a great map as is

[winter valley]

I feel like all maps are equally good but Vegas isn't talked about enough

[frozen vortex]

It like to see a Abandoned Paintball building, or a massive mall as a map.

[serene whale]

A scientific lab on a northern Norway island

[serene whale]

Or some old "closed" Russian industrial city in Siberia

[cold pebble]

Switzerland?Norway?IceLand?

[cold pebble]

hard to imagine how many camper in this map

[stable solar]

Need it

[tame falcon]

oh yeah, the best season if they do this

[sturdy relic]

hey huys how do you change the color of a map ?

[serene whale]

@cold pebble Hallstatt Austria

[harsh creek]

we need snow map. geneva

[hearty meteor]

Yellowstone Park. There's a visitor center and geysers. One of the map variants is "Super eruption"

[queen stirrup]

In WT certain yellow map elements turn red once you get to the emerald levels

[stuck tiger]

what about a vr headset factory

[ornate trench]

Imagine a outer space map

[alpine wind]

Yeah apparently it isn't, has a lot of the locations but a ton of changes there is a breakdown video on youtube

Like the mall and construction switch places apparently?

[full kestrel]

A modern new york map would be nice to see. It could feature roof top fighting on top of apartments and alley ways to fight in and even feature a moving train maybe

[errant cradle]

All but Kyoto

[warped field]

Geneva hardly gets any snow noradays.

[zealous patrol]

I disagree.

If you make a "box" where you experience the gravity effect where you can change the size/dimensions of the box then you can lower it to the desired levels and use it that way in the flooded areas of the map.

You can also have the arena items float to the top of that box too.

Then you match the cosmetic water physics to that area.

I imagine you can have the woods section below the road in Monaco completely flooded almost up to the street level if they do it that way.

Or even more.

Just have all carriable items float up and bob at the top of the water.

Add a rain storm effect and I think that would be mostly done

EARTHQUAKE:

Buildings around the cashboxes take general damage and are more susceptible to arena damage

[zealous patrol]

TORNADO:

2042 But better...
Buildings are systematically destroyed from the top downwards.

[alpine wind]

I agree with the earthquake could be fun
But the tornado will be annoying when you all get flinged and die off the map leading to a Wipeout

[hazy nova]

Yes we need more special events. It would also be cool if the alien attack works the same as the heavy gravity grenade, lifting players along with the building parts.

[alpine wind]

Good idea. Could be used useful for some momentum with grapple or other movement gadgets

[fiery idol]

👀

[lusty ridge]

Hello, have you ever been to cracow and the cracow castle called Wawel in Poland? 😄

[fiery idol]

I have not! But it looks amazing. Have me thinking…

Have wafel been to Wawel?

[lusty ridge]

Multiple times, I always walk next to the dragon statue that breathes fire. 😄

[fiery idol]

Dragons!? @quasi nebula would be happy!

[lusty ridge]

There's even a story about the "Wawel Dragon". That the villager gave the dragon a fake sheep filled with gunpowder so the dragon rid of 😄

[hoary rose]

Rome map

[stoic lynx]

when will we get berlin 1980 with tripwires and turrets

[radiant hemlock]

i really hope that they add power shift to vegas next season

[queen ridge]

it would be cool if it was opt in, it only lifts you up if you hold jump

[urban quest]

it would be cool if people would let us know more!

[forest mountain]

powershift support for Vegas

[queen ridge]

Where would the platform even go

[forest mountain]

I don't know. I have a small idea, but I need more experience with the map to find the route

[winter valley]

I actually like kyoto

[fallow widget]

Through everything!

[fallow widget]

I also like Kyoto!

[floral remnant]

Is the heist-variant Vegas map with the alarms and turrets coming back anytime soon? That brought its own challenge and was a lot of fun imo

[worldly girder]

I sure hope so
It made it super interesting

But with winch claw maybe it would be futile

[eternal geyser]

I wonder if every season fortune stadium would get a new combination type with one new sponsor. So instead of having straight variants or modifiers (sandstorm vegas, floating platforms), the fortune stadium would generate as a combination of 3 random sponsors

[eternal geyser]

Im guessing that probably wont be the case since its mean the map would either have to be perfectly 3-way simetrical, and then having the corect rotations and it being generated apropriatly which might take more time but I think itd be a cool concept

[wooden badge]

honestly sys needs some map variants, and i think high rise would be very cool. most jumppads are already there, and the centre building is perfect

[narrow bison]

ooo, imagine this place gonna be like a massive maze if we ever tournament here

[harsh creek]

ah shit. but still the place looks fire. either that or iceland or norway or smhtng

[brisk dragon]

In Seoul 2023 map when you look down you can see city and cars driving. What about a street level map where you can see the Seoul view from the ground? 😄

[prisma spade]

💀 New Gm: "Escape the arena"

[stoic lynx]

[earnest goblet]

The Pentagon

[vague horizon]

good idea

[stoic lynx]

Dissun rocket launch site

[fallow widget]

I did very much like the turret map variant!

[frigid belfry]

Don’t forget about sys$horizon. Its a headache generator that is way worse then Kyoto by leaps and bounds

[zealous patrol]

Bouncing bullets

Hitscan & projectile bullets bounce one time before destroying unless they hit a player where they will immediately destroy

[lavish panther]

dude that'd go pretty hard fr

[smoky solar]

I miss snow Monaco

[glad turret]

LMAO

[magic frigate]

Quite a good idea

[noble scarab]

Insane concept

[errant cradle]

I love Horizon. Maybe not the colors but at least the map overall

[frigid belfry]

I just can’t play it, it causes eye strain that leads to absurd migraines. I haven’t won a single game on that map. On Monaco I’m on like 200. It’s crazy how much of a disadvantage it puts anyone at with sensitive vision. If I were a weaker man I’d call it ableist but in reality it’s just badly made. No spaces for angled jump pads, places for people to camp everywhere, no adequate hiding spaces or escape routes because the map is so damn open. And lastly it just looks bad, like you let a toddler spend a few days in a Roblox world

[noble scarab]

Bruh that is so unlucky

[noble scarab]

Do you wear glasses at all? If you have newer transitions they block blue light without that orange tinge. Worked miracles for my vision and looking at computers in general

[frigid belfry]

Yeah I have blue light protection on my glasses, what really gets me is when orange team is in the orange room my eyes have to strain really hard to focus on them, and I think it’s that that causes it. Its not every game it happens and it’s not as bad on the night variant of the map either but still sometimes happens

[noble scarab]

Yeah thats definitely an issue

[frigid belfry]

Or purple team in purple room. I’d say just make the map more grayscale with bands of color around the buildings for accents. Would probably look better too

[brittle badge]

Fortune stadium? !

[weak sand]

What is the best way to get a close look at the maps? Like start a private of which mode and can you choose the map time / variant? How can you freecam around for longest? Just team wipe?

[urban quest]

lets go has to be ture!

[zealous patrol]

Skill issue

[severe stump]

ancient greece when

[strong carbon]

O Block!!!!

[low jasper]

ho

[harsh creek]

ye they need to get a complete horizon variant with normal colors and buildings

[quasi cape]

[halcyon widget]

https://tenor.com/view/spider-man-tobey-maguire-twin-towers-banned-teaser-gif-26212596

i got one even better

[warm zenith]

We need some sort of like football/soccer stadium and you can go like up the stairs and go down the steps to where you can get food

[hearty cave]

Massive football stadium with a killhouse on the field would be so sick. Play area would be both the field and the stands, maybe even below the stands too in the walkways.

[scarlet fog]

i really hope the next map (the one from the trailer) is just a massive all-indoors mall thing, that would be amazing

[half kettle]

hi

[steep sequoia]

A mirrors edge map where it's only like high rise buildings would be dope.

[feral glade]

NEW MAP LEAK!!!

#1285666114688254023 message

[fiery geode]

cant see dead people on the leaderboard, cant see other players stats on the leaderboard. please fix this.

[icy shard]

I really like the look of the new map coming soon

[wraith vine]

yea bro me to, you tryna be my duo frfr

[icy shard]

no

[mental void]

https://youtube.com/shorts/DRlGw__rRRA?si=EthS_duakIKGq0GY

[spiral magnet]

i really think the new map is gonna be like a new mode where its like capture the flag

[hoary rose]

Rome map season 5

[wanton compass]

I love it

[queen ridge]

Need Atlantis

[fallow mango]

sydney would go hard

[plush compass]

Parkway Garden Homes would go crazy

[tulip chasm]

More skyscrapers maps hehe remind me about ut2004 maps

[river glacier]

When the O' Block map

[dark inlet]

Fortune stadium leak

[crimson patio]

its the new tiktok, not a leak

[dark inlet]

wat

[crimson patio]

look at the finals tiktok account

[quartz olive]

Why is it on bank security camera :D

[dark inlet]

blame on thixiy (streamer)

[quartz olive]

Mkay

[glad sparrow]

Thoughts on Fortune Stadium being a mash up of previous map elements?

even tho this is the case, it probably didn't save them much time with the map making process. the assets were reworked with a complete face lift and sometimes entrances or scale changing. With tones of new elements too. It will all play differently and I am super excited.. but makes me maybe feel a bit disappointed, 'cheap' maybe. Cant help but wish it was someplace new.

[tiny cypress]

I am here to salt-post after losing to a team holding cashbox on helipad at seoul for 13 minutes after cashing out once in world tour.
Having only one approach into hospital if the secondary bridge is blown is bad map design.

[sage root]

is it bad that i start power shift matches by blowing up both cranes >>

[empty yoke]

I kinda like it. I feel it fits well with the game show theme. It brings a bunch of previous elements of The Finals together into one special map.

[proud zephyr]

add back bucket hat hair

[feral glade]

bum

[feral glade]

someone ping me and send me the rewards for each sponsors

[tawny wharf]

I think it fits for the anniversary season. However, I’d love to see them just do a Detroit map. Make it Detroit 1982, I love where I live but depict it in all the burnt out buildings and empty skyscrapers that long defined the city

https://youtu.be/bOG30moCeNs?si=3cL45K3rJMOUZBqH this building is becoming apartments now, but I wouldn’t mind them directly ripping buildings from Detroit and putting them together like some hellish mashup.

https://youtu.be/UofQwabMNrw?si=JUOXug_oSNEozu5H

just give me a decayed urban environment and I’ll be happy. no need for something pristine

[past stratus]

@gleaming bronze you were right Hazed: the new Fortune Stadium really did take a lot of inspiration from Seoul! Good predictions and observations!!

[queen ridge]

New map is perfect

[native moon]

it looks sick yeah

[native moon]

when is it dropping

[tired scarab]

26th

[loud hornet]

Please add more cool variations to the maps, we're still lacking cool variations on Sys Horizon, Kyoto, and likely the new map lol.

Loved the turrets and tripwires concept, sandstorm was super cool (Lowkey could be used for power shift if normal map doesn't work), and the snow/cowboy Monaco

[void escarp]

It's Seoul but improved on a lot of things
for example the hospital is isn't as hard to attack now

[light radish]

did they remove the turrets and tripwires? didn't see it in a while

[strange olive]

I wish they'd add in a map mid season. The upcoming map is very Seoul/Sys Horizon.

[runic belfry]

seoul did get a very positive response from most though so its not a surpise its got vibes like it

[strange olive]

They could at least change the theme to something fresh. Idk, like Brazillian Favela?

Russian Apartment complex?

Any other places with a bunch of buildings and stairs

[viral thicket]

I like the construction elements. Maybe Chongqing, China (IRL Cyberpunk city). Lots of potential for scaffolding.

[alpine wind]

Think it's cause of their break they didn't get enough time to make a fully brand new map
Next season definitely gotta be something brand new

[fallow widget]

Hope they are bringing back more events mid round. Dead go boom, gravity well, portals, laser sythes, inverted controls (this would screw all hackers/no recoil)

[pure stump]

Not my idea but would love to get an event where everyone is able to wall run

[fallow widget]

That would be cool

[fallow widget]

💥 Add an event that forces you to be within 5m of at least 1 other teammate! After 10 seconds you start taking environmental damage.

The BE A TEAM PLAYER event.

If you are last alive it does not effect you.

[native moon]

That’s light-cist

[fallow widget]

A good light stays with team.

[void fossil]

Capture the flag on fortune stadium would go hard.

[grim hull]

Capture the cash box!

[eternal geyser]

Maybe more like 20m, and it should prob give a warning before stsrting to do dmg

[fallow widget]

Yes for sure on the warning. I can be convinced that 5m is pretty conservative. What ever the distance is for 1 building height in Monaco.

[wooden badge]

its gone 😦

[zealous patrol]

Looking forward to the new game modes and events...

[harsh creek]

real. they should get a map with a diff environment altogether, like ditch the urban thign and maybe go for a nice and cozy town in a snowy tundra. or a mildly futuristic city in a desert (Cairo 2077???)

[copper cape]

Hate to break it to you but uh Vegas is a mildly futuristic city in a desert

[scarlet fog]

its been removed shortly after steal the spotlight back in... i dont even remember when it was, a while ago

[light radish]

Well that sucks bc its was really cool and added dangerousity to the map itself

[harsh creek]

oh hell i forgot. then maybe go with the cozy town in a tundra

[eternal geyser]

Idea: Fortune stadium, instead of having map variants, has sponsor mixes where each of the 3 major areas generates for a different sponsor

[modern moth]

So tired of tokyo, really hoping the new maps are good

[honest furnace]

I just dislike it bc my PC can barely run the finals but it lags so much on kyoto

Love the game tho definitly my fav game just sad my PC isn't good enough but I'm saving up for a better one

[gray spear]

What’s in your rig if you mind me asking?

[honest furnace]

Rig?

[gray spear]

Your pc

[honest furnace]

Ooh it's mainly my cpu thats the problem I got an I7-3770

[gray spear]

Yeah that’ll do it, you can get an amd 5600x for sub 100 dollars now

[fallow widget]

I was a big fan of that map variant!

[zealous patrol]

Now that we know what they are doing with the new maps.

They probably were going to get a map inspired by real world location next season.

What do you guys think they will make?

I swear to God I hate the fact that ppl wanna go back to the past. If they made a Roman map that would be cool.

Getting an empty coliseum is boring. Unless they make it a TDM map with some kinda cover to play around.

A futuristic Rome would be cool.

Flying cars and crap.

[tawny wharf]

Detroit ruins, if you want something more open and more ruined

[glad sparrow]

Powershift coming to Vegas?

[tawny wharf]

they really should do a Detroit map. this is pretty much all I’m going to say in this chat

[full kestrel]

Detroit map would be cool to see especially with the abandoned car factories being cool spots to fight in

[void fossil]

Yeah

[slim lichen]

Detroit map and then they can explore the car manufacturers that definitely are sponsors!

[void fossil]

i'd like to see a waterpark or a gotham like city with sewer systems :)

[stoic lynx]

gamemode where its two teams on a moving platform equipped with cannons that can be refired

[quaint compass]

ok so I just took a senstitivity test and I cot cm/360 13.02 how do I implement this into the finals?

[strange olive]

honestly, anything would be better as long as it does not use the same texture/theme

is it really world tour if it doesn't have a lot of world in it?

[edgy jacinth]

yo

[queen ridge]

ban this guy

[lyric ledge]

for vegas

yea man they were kinda annoying but honestly i wouldnt mind having more map versions

[ripe cypress]

I hate horizon!!!!!

[harsh creek]

ye just had a kyoto quick cash yesterday where i was almost practically stuck between that bamboo forest BETWEEN a fight, now died cuz i kept bumping and also that general kyoto lag (skyway stadium match with the same loadout was pretty good tho)

[harsh creek]

geneva in switzerland or cape town in sa

[honest furnace]

it's prob not compatible with my motherboard tho

[analog pagoda]

Where does everyone rank Kyoto amongst all the maps? For me it's at the bottom

[livid wadi]

If I were to rank Kyoto at the bottom, I wouldn't still necessarily call it a bad map.

If I rank it out of the three Season update maps, I'd probably put it below Vegas and it below sys-Horizon

[runic belfry]

its not a bad map by any means, its just unoptimised for many devices and the lag is what really throws people off (and snipers but you dont see many unless its powershift) ;-;

[analog pagoda]

Oh yeah, I don't think any of the maps are explicitly bad, it's just the one I enjoy the least

[runic belfry]

i will say though the autumn variant is sooooo pretty

[brave thistle]

yeet

[fair mirage]

lol

[brave thistle]

yeet

yeet

[zealous patrol]

I want Embark s futuristic rendition of a real world place.

That's what I have been wanting.

That level of freedom to make a future how they want too.

Since the ark raiders universe isn't in the best shape they can "reimagine" how good their future would be in the finals or something.

Anyways, futuristic map plz.

[simple radish]

can we make top center (snipers hideout) on sys-horizon destroyable? i shot multiple thermal bores to flush the THREE snipers off and could not destroy it 😦

[lyric ledge]

dam that kinda sucks
ig at most you could counter with pyro or gass

[delicate loom]

Hi)

[sly dagger]

wonder when we are getting the unhacked variation of sys horizon 👀 one of my favorite maps

[full kestrel]

Fr would be nice to see what the map would look like

[sly dagger]

Hopefully by season 5 they add it

[honest kindle]

Hopefully they will make the next season map from real life location. I like to think they are alternating between their custom map and real life map.

[dark jay]

mix be the best

[honest furnace]

You can already see it on yt bc content creators got early acces

[harsh creek]

if we want futuristic, places like nyc or tokyo or shanghai in 2100 or smthng would be too expected and usual
But then earlier i was seeing this report about the largest predicted economies by 2100.
India is at first, followed by china, nigeria, then usa, after that pakistan and indonesia.
So, what if we brought out a highly futuristic map from any of these countries (except maybe china and usa cuz almost everyone woud expect these kind of countries).
But yea, we can do something like "Karachi" from Pakistan or "Jakarta" from Indonesia, which wd be pretty cool honeslty cuz cities from countries that tend to be overshadowed by countries like usa or china or france (like india or ng or pakistan or nigeria) shown futuristic wd be a good contrast

[full kestrel]

Sucks Kyoto wasn't a modern day map hopefully they do another japan map but in modern times

[thick bloom]

yeah that would be great

[zealous patrol]

I've been suggesting an "asset flip" where they take the current design of Kyoto and undo the mess CNS caused by taking that map and turning it modern.

It would mostly be the same map just modern so they could make it a mid-season drop

[dusty ledge]

Hey! Delete Kyoto! Thanks!

Looks absolutely gorgeous. Is not condusive to gameplay.

[chrome sparrow]

Gameplays amazing and removing content is never the answer especially considering the game only has like 5 maps

[dusty ledge]

If you can't remove or replace content because you refuse to based on that principle, you're a bad game developer.

[chrome sparrow]

So they should make more good maps (and Kyoto isn’t bad) instead of removing old stuff

[pastel hemlock]

las vegas 2

[dusky flicker]

Its crazy how so many matches become unbearable because of sniper.

I simply leave the match whenever there are snipers on kyoto because I know it will be the most unfun and soul destroying task trying to deal with them.

[queen ridge]

powershift?

[dusky flicker]

In any game mode. Powershift isn’t even worth thinking about because of how awful sniper makes it.

[simple radish]

Trying to land grenades up there is a pain and they would just run to the back or the other side until gone

[simple radish]

I’ve given up obj just to hunt snipers all game because I get so tired of it

[dusky flicker]

Me too. But even that does absolutely nothing because now i'm not helping my team and even if I kill the sniper they'll be back there in 10 seconds.

[simple radish]

I’ve found that if you flush them out and kill them 2-3 times they either switch weapons or leave the game

[lyric ledge]

im in the same boat as you man that sucks

[dusky flicker]

Terrible from a gameplay standpoint that the ideal outcome for sniper is they switch weapons or leave. 💀 Tells you a lot about the place they have in this game.

[simple radish]

I’ve learned where on the map to stand to throw frags that blow up in there face doing 149 damage lmao

[worldly girder]

I usually stand on obj with barricades and flamethrower and then they eventually leave

[simple radish]

@dusky flicker @lyric ledge here’s a clip I took a while back of the problem

[vapid ermine]

hi

what

ayooo

[tawny wharf]

Having explored many of those factories with the express permission of property owners, the way that these spaces degrade over decades turn a traditional environment into something abnormal. Trees growing out of basements, eight story holes from the roof to the third, while buildings leaning, lacking windows, walls, roofs. Debris like snowdrifts, and in the southwest of the city, piles of toxic ash. I love this city but it is something

Would be fun, but perhaps a little too symmetrical, so devs would have to somehow deal with breaking things up

[full kestrel]

Wow that's fascinating have you got the chance to visit the famous Packard car factory???

[tawny wharf]

Not on foot, I don’t know the property owners and I don’t fw the security out there. Not trying to cop a charge lol.

Did a nice photoshoot in another more well known one I ain’t gonna say.

[chrome sentinel]

same

[tawny wharf]

Btw, don't mess around abandoned buildings, even if you have property owner permission.
I've breathed in some truly toxic substances from genuine superfund sites and that is saying nothing of the physical hazards like falling to death or being hurt by someone

[full kestrel]

Yeah some people forgot that especially since many of buildings are build with stuff like asbestos

[tawny wharf]

Shit, I’ve breathed in antimony

I poisoned myself like an idiot in a smokestack and subsequently had terrible diarrhea and pain for days. One wrong mistake in an abandoned building could mean life long injury. It’s always worth staying out of them, or wearing genuine protection, but even then, best to stay out of ruins really

Nasty hazard around here is flooded lower floors. Floor breaks as you’re in some abandoned house some winter while you’re alone, you fall right into the septic basement of cold fetid water, right through a basement floor.

Well, that’s enough about my after school special on not stepping on nails

[full kestrel]

I can only imagine the stuff you've got to experience hope you didn't suffer life long complications from that stuff

Rome map season 5

[wooden badge]

sys has no map variation, high rise would be PERFECT. 3/4 jumppads are already there, and the centre building is a great size

[runic barn]

delete kyoto

[coral walrus]

Look at it tis way: you are helping the team by making enemy sniper busy hiding from you and killing your teammates on the platform.
At least I comfort my self this way while hunting super annoying snipers.

[neat atlas]

Why it's s good map

[runic barn]

no

[queen stirrup]

To everyone who played in the S4 preview: do you feel the destruction was higher than on the regular maps? I watched some vids and it seemed to break really easily? Red canisters make huge holes in walls, ceilings and floors.

Part of a map with a big fan that mimics the effect of the anti gravity cube.
Shwoooom cool stuff, Yknow?

[limber chasm]

lowkey cooking with this one

maybe even a button somewhere that speeds the fan up for a few seconds

It was a limited time game mode

[late blaze]

ex emerald for some ranekd ?

[karmic path]

i like all the maps c:

[earnest goblet]

Pentagon when

[vapid dew]

Pentagon as a map? Hell yeah. I wonder when they'll add San Francisco related stuff, like alcatraz

[pine garden]

You know what'll be a fun idea? If there are some maps with unique events that are exclusive them that map.

Like, a old eastern style map at a canyon with a dam off in the distance. Through the match you can see the same slowly start to break and leak until I fully breaks and cause a flood to hit the town. It doesn't do damage but can push players caught in the flood towards the cliff and even off of it.

[vapid dew]

It has potential, it can add some interesting map layouts, like for this example high points to survive the flood.

But the atomic bomb is no go 😅

[pine garden]

Atomic bomb? I didn't mention anything about a bomb 😂

Also yeah, that's the idea, either go up to higher grounds to avoid it or stick to a wall to keep yourself in place for the flood

[vapid dew]

But let's face it, it'll be the best opurtinity to make a atomic bomb event 😂

[barren anchor]

Hey, do I have extremely bad luck with not getting Fortune Stadium once in world tour? Been playing for 2+ hours. Is it not available in wt?

[harsh creek]

scenic indeed
but wait why they nt giving it a cherry blossom, wdnt that fit more

[strange olive]

So, like. ww2?

[mossy tendon]

Yeh pretty much

[strange olive]

Hopefully it wouldn't cause a controversy.

[vast path]

is the new map also avaiable in powershift ?

[patent orbit]

Seconding this - haven’t seen Fortune Stadium in any of my power shift games yet. Is it available?
(Also when Vegas?) 😢

[arctic fulcrum]

Can we have Fortune Stadium Power Shift please Embark? ❤️

[austere steppe]

please make a aquarium map the only parts of the map that wouldnt be destructable

haunted castle map would be cool

[inland verge]

What about Warsaw?

[arctic fulcrum]

We've already got Monaco, too similar for them to add

[gloomy basin]

Anyone have any thoughts on the Fortune Stadium destruction? Would to love to hear your thoughts and get some feedback if there is any!

[queen stirrup]

Seems like it's much more brittle than the other maps? Sometimes huge chunks of it turn to rubble with no apparent reason.

[gloomy field]

does anyone think we will get a snow map for winter on kyoto like the fall map we got for the new season??

[teal fable]

idk but personally when the map starts to destroy i get UE crashes
around half of my crashes were with fortune

other than that its goated; holtow destruction is very satisfying

[queen ridge]

It feels a bit like the chunks are bigger than normal which leads to less ways you can utilize destruction without destroying the entire room you're in. Which personally im not the biggest fan of. Other than that I love the map though

[gloomy basin]

It's intentionally more reactive then other maps. It should not necessarily in proportion to the size of the collapse, collapse noticeably faster, but when it does the result should be more impactful, while also retaining a playable space. That is at least the goal!

[gloomy field]

does anyone think we will get a snow map for winter on kyoto like the fall map we got for the new season??

[gloomy basin]

Thanks that good feedback! It's a balance since smaller chunks leads to more rubble which can trun the space into a mess depending on the building. But I do agree that having things stick together to much causes problems!

[arctic fulcrum]

Almost certainly.

[queen ridge]

No problem! :))

[gloomy basin]

Hopefully we will get that crash fixed, just make sure to press send when it happens and then we should be aware of it!

[teal fable]

i have
i got a PR of 4 in 1 match
dont wanna be that guy but before the performance update / S4 i can count on one hand the amount of times ive UE crashed
played 5 hours today (i know) and ive gotten 9

[fallow mango]

just wanna say demat works perfectly fine on vegas now , tysm , its not unplayable anymore

[tranquil trail]

i played a bit of world tour. i retain my opinion that power shift is the only good mode.

dude what the hell i got seventy fans for making second place in a tournament.

[spiral patio]

`Is the new map on power shift?

[tranquil trail]

from what i hear no. so you HAVE to play the goddamn modes that aren't power shift. which sucks, because THEY SUCK

[lime obsidian]

https://tenor.com/view/wahoo-fish-fish-spin-realfishguy-gif-7133228637650880735

[rare wing]

Had the buildings suddenly tear apart at tons of walls/floors at once a few times today

(May be related to my cl-40 + goo shinanigens)

Only made my game stutter very shortly once or so

Leads to some chaotic scenarios, always love those

[tranquil trail]

does Fortune Stadium seriously not have any variants? variants should be like, an essential!

[shell vessel]

this map has some serious performance issues on xbox

[rare wing]

Personally, i prefer no varients over bad ones

Chasing down a moving platform for half a match on seoul can be frustrating

If you dont have destruction items attacking a suspended structure can feel impossible

Depending on how it felt during testing im glad they didnt add any

[proven mirage]

I like fortune stadium, its a good map

[queen ridge]

🗣️

[jade edge]

what's your favorite map?

[spring vessel]

Vegas at night or Monaco

[errant cradle]

Used to be Vegas but my weapon tastes have been changing so that might change with them

[white pine]

I would just like to drop in and completely eat crow and say how wrong I was about the new map. It’s amazing in every way and is so much more unique than it looked for me initially. You guys cooked again, and also, thanks to whoever increased the new map choose rate. 10/10 guys

[bright talon]

Works very well, but if you are in a big house while a good portion is destroyed i get a stable fps drop from 80 to 35 for about 20 seconds (until the destruction is resolved).
Seems like it is similar to what happened in big houses on kyoto in the beginning. Played with friends together and everyone had huge fps drops in this instances. (On PC). Other than that seems very nice 🙂

Some spawns feel a bit weird and far away towards the end of rounds but thats some other thing to look at i guess.

[queen stirrup]

That's really interesting. I definitely enjoy the chaos that ensues from the destruction. Since the maps is so clean otherwise it doesn't make it look or play too chaotic. Bigger chunks definitely help too. I need to get a friend online and go destroy the map in a private match...

[red ingot]

New map is exact same layout as seoul + some parts of the map are the same, looks and plays cool but wish I wouldnt feel like playing Seoul sometimes in some parts of the map

[harsh creek]

wbu one fro,, south asia, like somewhere from pakistan or india or smthng. maybe make them highly futuristic, like from 2100 or smthng to do the unexpected. and plus the countries are projected to be top developed states and economies by 2100 anyways

[inland verge]

😔

[frail vortex]

we need a mini map

[jolly ingot]

I think the hud is fine atm

Don’t want it to be cluttered

[alpine wind]

Fortune stadium is a small enough map
Anything smaller and it's just too much

[open marsh]

I have a small issue that Fortune Stadium has recycled map layouts from Seoul. It kinda makes the map come off as lazy. (If anyone hasn't noticed, I'll post side by side images later)

[jolly sage]

I need 30 mins of text time so this is the strat

[analog mountain]

Just played my first match on it and 100% agree. Interiors of some of the buildings are different but it feels like half the map is just Seoul.

[open marsh]

I'll get side by sides later and they're literally 1 for 1. The best areas of the map are--you guessed it, the new areas.

Someone on Reddit mentioned the idea of making a Theme Park 🎡 map, which I think would be an amazing addition. (Not necessarily for this season, but good nonetheless)

[placid wren]

the most common themed map requests I've heard are "rome" and "theme park" which are both pretty great ideas- the idea of a moving cashout on something like splash mountain or a roller coaster is very fun

[blazing kite]

I mean, I really like the original maps :)

[blazing kite]

I feel your pain bro :)

[blazing kite]

round or square?

[stone hedge]

stg its so bad its just seoul without the soul.

[reef prism]

Can kyoto be deleted

[primal nest]

the new map is just a bunch of old maps put together

i mean its not a big deal but kinda just idk

[final tangle]

need comments to make vc

[robust ocean]

New map has a spot where heavies can get perpetually stuck if they don't blow themselves up. It looks like you're gonna fall off the map, but then you just sit there caught on a railing below the pathway

[tranquil trail]

today i got like 400 or something for getting sixth place in a tournment with FOUR THOUSAND bucks. FOUR THOUSAND. WHAT THE FUCK ARE THESE FANS INTERESTED IN

[queen saffron]

Never cook again 🙏

[tight marten]

I love yappy

[gloomy turtle]

Frame rate drops on the new maps are disgusting. It's like OG Pagoda all over again.

[snow mortar]

yeah this new season i have loading issues

[lost magnet]

I definitely noticed that and was confused. Although I think it's fine as the map still feels unique to play on and Uber fun. I don't like Seoul unless it's construction

[unique mist]

San Francisco map, Paris map would be great🔥

[high stone]

so why is there just abit of seoul in the new map

[queen ridge]

It’s a stadium map. Stadium maps are seemingly meant to be mashups of the other maps

Which is why skyway stadium has some of Monaco. It’s pretty cool

[drowsy zinc]

I'm pretty sure the new map is not just some of Seoul, but really just the future version of Seoul, with like 75% of the structure and layout, but remodeled interiors, with the center glass building being enterable now (construction completed). It's the "we had a very long vacation and didn't have a lot of time to make a completely brand new map for season 4" type map

[wooden badge]

new map kinda incorporates parts in a new cool way which i really like

[tall harness]

The scope system is terrible this time, they should have tied the nerf to the scope so that if you don't use the scope you won't be affected

[mental halo]

how do you guys feel about the new map? I for one love how vertical it is, makes doing funky grapple tricks feel very rewarding

[remote arch]

new map is dope

[spiral urchin]

The verticality of the new map its amazing 😍

[jade olive]

New map is absolutely DOG. The buildings are okay, but every single match involves long-range camping of the jumppads that connect them. It's particularly terrible trying to leave or enter the HOLTOW or especially Iseul-T islands because they're dead ends. Why the hell are the islands not connected in a circle?

I've seen multiple people get confused by the HOLTOW bulding's layout, too, but that is practically a non-issue compared to how sloppily the islands connect

[full kestrel]

No night mode on new map is a bummer 😕

[lean granite]

hello, I have a bug since seson 3, if anyone could help me I would really appreciate it

[edgy spoke]

[brazen cave]

the new map is awsome!!!!

[subtle magnet]

There is

[crystal onyx]

What would you guys think is the best map for sniping

[lofty anvil]

prolly monaco

its got the church and some towers to snipe off of

it also has easily maneuverable buildings for escaping

what if there was a map in NYC and it included times square and subways

[light ibex]

It would be very cool

Being in the future, like Las Vegas

[dusky kestrel]

New map is way too fragile. It'll shatter a roof into 30 pieces from one small explosive.

[full kestrel]

Really? You got a picture?

[full kestrel]

Fr been thinking the same would be cool to see a nyc map

[random jay]

which map is the best

dasfd

lol

it would've been so easy to adding moving platforms or suspended structures to the new map. why didn't they.

OK, so I have REALLY warmed up to the new map, At first I thought it might not flow well, but the very fact that there are a lot of cavernous spot with cut-offs actually makes it a ton of fun. It's also SO darn Mirror's Egde-esque. LOVE IT.

they should add a cologne map

New map with dematerialize is fun

[autumn trail]

ive been killed too many times with traps on the new map ;-;

[light ibex]

This would be nice

[warm night]

Ooof Kyoto. I hate there being so many collision objects... The bamboo forest cashout feels like a nightmare to defend

[autumn trail]

playing far back and counter pushing is my strat

[warm night]

Hmm... I see

[autumn trail]

but yeah getting third partied is gonna be a nightmare

[warm night]

It totally is. I kinda hate Kyoto. The map is beautiful... Being a 3D artist I do admire it in that way but I just hate the design of it. Too many things to get you stuck into

[autumn trail]

fair on that they should clear up the paths more

[quiet mantle]

So like... Does anyone enjoy Kyoto?

[gloomy jolt]

i like the layered verticallity

[light nimbus]

went from loving it (beginning of S3) to hating it (middle and end of s3 cus it was too repetitave) and now i think of it like any other map

[jagged gull]

Love the new map

[queen ridge]

fortunte stadium desperately needs more cashout spots

[tawny wharf]

my whole team yelling at me after I put the jump pad so it can't reach the other side and we all jump off the map

i jumped off the map it hurt

[neat atlas]

Yeah

[quiet mantle]

First I've seen

[nova sparrow]

i don't get the theme of fortune stadium. why is it like a "beta" version of Seoul? is it because it's made by Iseul?

I wish the devs added new conditions of environmental events because the old maps are getting too familiar. I'd love to see Dead Goes Boom event come back in Quickplay. I can see why it's frustrating in tournament.

[queen ridge]

The stadium maps are seemingly meant to be mashups of previous maps

[unique notch]

Dead go boom is basically a no melee gamemode

[loud hornet]

I feel like the maps play wildly different than each other even though everyone compares them

[nova sparrow]

Yeah it does. Fortune Stadium throws me off a bit because navigating the map isn't as intuitive. I recently played Bank It and it was so hard to get to a cashbox and cashout station because I kept running into dead end or physical obstacles since I expected the travel to the objectives to be straightforward like previous maps.

Maybe I still need to learn the map but even traversing Kyoto and Sys$Horizon were pretty intuitive when they were introduced.

[teal fable]

Dead Go Boom
just make it map destructive only, no player damage.
players can still fight with all weapons but the map shows off destruction engine

[proven mirage]

5 more to go?

sheeesh

[graceful oasis]

Does anyone know if there is going to be a Power Shift variant released in the future for the map Fortune Stadium?

[lone kiln]

Same with Terminal attack, still missing 2 maps

[narrow light]

It would be great. I join in with the question

[onyx oyster]

Just played still wakes the deep and i think an oil rig map would be incredibly cool. the derrick, the underig walkways, the processing station, the flare arm, generator rooms, pumping equipment, big cylindrical rooms in each of the legs, lifeboats etc. placed in the north sea with super foggy or super stormy events would be awesome, maybe a variant with an exploded section of the rig or something

[hard spade]

Does anyone else's Kyoto still play atrociously? Mine is unplayably laggy

And you can also damage enemy’s from under the map

[fallen escarp]

What's the best and worst power shift map in your opinion

[glad sparrow]

The worst for powershift is Vegas 💀

[tawny wharf]

Smh

[gilded relic]

That sounds sick, an off topic thing but I would love to see maybe a map based off an underground train station(akin to ones like in Japan) like there could be so many advertisments, and maybe running trains that could smack contestants if they aren't careful

[molten adder]

underground could be nice but it would probably be too hard to make the destruction aspect work out with most areas being behind thick layers of earth behind and above them

I could see an elevated monorail station working

[prisma smelt]

Feels like the fortune stadium is not really stable

I got freeze frames, and my camera got stuck in ovservation mode, and I saw my weapon still visible on screen when I died

[frail pasture]

Do ya'll think we will get a sun related in match event?

Because holtow insures against aliens and the sun

(And more)

But it would make sense.
Plus we don't have a lot of events atm

[subtle magnet]

What about a future based map?
Like u go to google and search futuristic city and there are tons of images

[subtle magnet]

Best is skyway stadium or monaco and worst is kyoto 100%

[round pewter]

Blade runner styled world? I hope so, that would be so cool

[radiant orbit]

Just letting you know your previous message was blocked because of an autofilter loophole that blocks multiple flags, but we'll fix it 🫡

[subtle magnet]

I thought bcs it was Russia hahahahah

[wooden estuary]

I think it would be fun to play in a Stadium/Colosseum. Bringing some old Roman period outfits into the game would be sick with special melee weapon skins and gadget skins.
Another cool idea is playing on a giant boat/yacht. Multiple levels to it of course with a bunch of different rooms and areas to explore. It wouldn’t work well with power shift tho

[rapid cove]

Yo, where is SYS Horizon and Las Vegas on ranked (they've been banned or something else ?)

[latent onyx]

Not really but I do find it kind of boring/sterile

[quick bluff]

I think Paris could offer good architecture that feels very on brand for the Finals. Could have classic Parisian architecture a la Monaco, mixed in with a large art gallery like the Pompidou, similar to the more modern architecture featured on some maps

[wooden estuary]

I was thinking more so bo2 Hijacked map yk?

[twin shard]

yes, the iseult towers specifically seem to fall apart at the slightest damage

the square panels always fall

[tawdry vortex]

Just read about this mod for Skyrim that basically flips everything and I immediately thought that makes that be an interesting map variation. What do y'all think? Here's the link if I can post it: https://www.nexusmods.com/skyrimspecialedition/mods/130324?tab=description&BH=1

[radiant cradle]

Yea they do get destroyed easily

[half comet]

is fortune stadium eventually going to enter the map pool for powershift?

[radiant cradle]

most likely

[noble field]

New map idea: Seaside carnival. American style. Horror attraction full of unexpected traps and shit. If ferris wheel is destroyed, it will roll all the way on the map until it reached and fall at the entrance. Anyone who gets in the way will be squashed. Roller coasters can be ride by players for long range advantage point. Roller coaster rides can be shut down by 2 players at the control panel. If a player on a coaster got stopped in the middle of a loop, he will fall to his death. House of mirrors will have the best advantage to hide from players but it has some turrets (npc). Circus is filled with parkour obstacles for very nice maneuverability. Horse carousel can be riden by a player to reveal a cashout terminal. Popcorn stands will heal a small amount of players health.

I think the SYS maps should follow an otherworldly theme. Like MC Escher's art. SYS$Escher would be ideal

[median tartan]

Imagine if some heavy destroys the bottom part and all these buildings collapse

Sweet 10 FPS

[still wren]

it can design as the overhead building

we can't destroy its bottom

[hasty star]

I rate this

even if it was based off of this piece just coloured in and glitchy and stuff that would be so cool

[quasi cape]

This concept of map would be insane

[vernal stag]

Kyoto is unplayable on Xbox

[plain bay]

this makes me think that non euclidian maps could be genius on this game, not sure how to make it work tho

[river grotto]

If you're catering to an audience with no attention span then sure

[earnest goblet]

Maybe from a distance it looks distorted but morphs into place as you get closer

[molten adder]

I doubt it'd be possible in any way without torturing the devs, but a map with changing gravity direction would be insane.
Imagine fighting someone on a mario galaxy style small globe where you lob an explosive barrel and it curves around and hits someone on the opposite side

[errant orbit]

ooooOOOoooohh you wanna add a toronto map sooooo baddd

[slim niche]

why don't you also add a map basedw in italy? just the best contry in the world, something in little cities with little streets, close quartiers

[white spear]

Im italian and i dont think italy is the best country in the world XD

But the idea is good

[woeful spindle]

add a map that's just a giant warehouse

[simple thorn]

Yes please. This would be Sledgehammer's dream map.

[hoary rose]

Rome map season 5!!

[astral knot]

Rio De Janeiro would be incredible for the architecture and scenery. And a particular monument…

Also it must get mentioned constantly but amusement park seems perfect

[proud rampart]

Las Vegas with the sandstorm mod reminds me of Fallout New Vegas

[wooden badge]

Kyoto has some uuuuuh... problems

[rotund knoll]

Nice

[uneven field]

bro just disappear

[molten ridge]

love that map

[opal prawn]

Hmmmm I wonder why...

[opal prawn]

This would literally be the korea map in 2042, please no

[uneven field]

They should add in season 5 a real map place right? Like Monaco, Las Vegas

[proud rampart]

Maybe Mr. House is on the map ...

[golden stirrup]

I still think a castle of some sort would be fire

[devout olive]

I still have not gotten Vegas once this season? Did they remove or is it set to a much lower frequency?

[uneven field]

Nope, las Vegas isn't removed i played it today

[night sentinel]

Might be lower chance since there's regular Vegas and sandstorm Vegas

[void escarp]

it would have the same problem as Kyoto - being too open

[errant orbit]

womp womp

[meager turtle]

I think it would be really cool to just have a straight indoors map, maybe floating structures in the middle with an open area

[stark widget]

Yeah give us a construction map and label it toronto

Nah but actually I do like this idea

[last bolt]

Make a map thats nothing but free way interchanges and call it Huston

[pulsar cobalt]

Kyoto needs to be taking out until they fix the frame rate drops and lag just remove the map nobody wants to play it because its the same thing every time just lag and frame rate drops

[outer fern]

why was vegas security removed?

[meager hemlock]

I think at this point we need to collectively quit out of Kyoto until it shows in the data. nothing else will do.

[pulsar cobalt]

facts nobody wants to play it because its overplayed and buggy asf

[unborn vessel]

My personal theory to why they removed it is because you could just put goo infront of the turret and it would just make the turret useless

[jaunty bay]

don't play the season 3 much. Now started again with season 4. In my opinion the balance feels terrible. Life Points special in Heavy don't matter most of the time. AR Guns overaul to good at any point and the light classes moving feels unfair in addition the skills too. Spawns are too close to enemya or too wide from obkectives and smaller maps also ould be be better. Overall never had so less fun since season 4 and the game never felt so unfair and unbalanced at weapons

oh shield don't matters too

[clear breach]

I think the spawns in ranked cashout Seoul are very close together, having up to 3 repeated team fights (same team) on 1 cashout is pretty crazy imo.

[sonic cypress]

aztec mexico

would be pretty cool

i think

[shut elbow]

Hello

[hushed cave]

seaworld map

[rich fjord]

Nah, amusement park map.

[wooden badge]

i love the construction variants so much a whole construction map would be sick

[marsh juniper]

The security was cool asf, I remember playing during s1 and that added more authenticity to the whole casino theme

[sacred cradle]

Ooooh CN tower map would be insane

You could have a version with the Roger center opened or closed

[glad sparrow]

Powershift needs more maps

[fossil cosmos]

New map is awful, feels like an endless maze with many identical corridors and rooms, and an infinite amount of corners. Orientating yourself on the map in a rush is difficult and counter-intuitive. Add some decor at least.

[north shell]

love the new map, new fav

[torpid nova]

Same here. I love how much variety there is. I've fallen off so many times thinking there's a ledge though 😂

[slate flower]

personally, I think banff would be better

very pretty, it would be similar to kyoto, but hopefully better designed, and main street would be a really cool part

[red ingot]

Just play it a little and learn it. Very little Dekor is good because there’s no visual clutter + the map doesn’t lag as much and is cleaner to play. Kyoto is the opposite and everybody hates that map + performance issues

[slate flower]

i think kyoto is the nicest looking map but yeah, is it ever pourly designed

to quote ospuze, "who needs water"
it just doesn't work

[red ingot]

It looks nice but plays shit

[slate flower]

exactly, its not just another cityscape, its got nice looking everything

[wise cargo]

https://tenor.com/view/exploding-car-explode-cat-boom-bah-gif-5387928273689188008

[slate flower]

but its just, very jagged, damn near impossible to get out of the cliff area

[wise cargo]

where is mygif 😭

[slate flower]

you dont have perms lil man

[alpine coral]

Kyoto is too cluttered with vegetation. The bamboo forest is an absolute nightmare at times.

[slate flower]

some cashouts there kick ass, but its really a coin flip

[alpine coral]

Yes but it's always frustrating to try to evade enemy fire or push, and be stuck in between bamboos

[slate flower]

getting from temples to hillside is a nightmare for anyone other that that one movement light whos always weaving through the trees like spiderman

[alpine coral]

This map is an example of why beautiful doesn't always mean playable.

Fortune Stadium IMO is literally the opposite.

[slate flower]

and fortune stadium is still nice looking
crazy balance

[alpine coral]

Yes, but it's way more pragmatic.

[slate flower]

I do feel like most of its cashouts are located within the isul-t buildings

[alpine coral]

Makes me think that Embark actually acknowledged Kyoto may have been too much. Although the devs probably loved making that map.

[slate flower]

I dont want to put down the devs, there is still tons of fun to be had on kyoto,
but it is very, and I mean very cluttered

11 sections, whilst fortune has 6

[alpine coral]

I really disliked the map for the first few weeks after its release. Now that I know it better, it's alright-ish. The performance issues don't make it as enjoyable as it should be, though.

[slate flower]

I know that running it is a massive problem for pc players, and honestly, idk how it would be optimized

[alpine coral]

Destruction was way overtuned when it was released.

I feel like somehow, all maps have overtuned destruction too in S4. Including Kyoto.

[slate flower]

with kyoto, it makes sense, giving that all the buildings are wood and straw, but the destruction does feel bigger in s4, you could throw a red canister and make a whole the size of like 3 or 4 last season, it might be to help with optimization

[alpine coral]

To me it feels like they've put more effort into marketing the game this season, and wanted to display lots of destruction for new players.

"Look we can destroy everything, it's awesome"

Yeah but it makes fights inside buildings an absolute clusterfuck lol.

[bleak axle]

Destruction feels crazy this season. Especially on the new map where every building seems to be supported by 2 pillars
But even outside fortune stadium it drives me nuts

[alpine coral]

I think they should tune it down on all maps, because it makes some gadgets feel redundant. Why would I carry breach charges or C4

[hushed cave]

tibet would be cool

https://www.britannica.com/place/Tibet

[torpid nova]

Edinburgh, Scotland would be really different from what we've seen. One old city and maybe woodlands 🤔

[vale wedge]

yes

[vale wedge]

Just play it a little and learn it. Very little Dekor is good because there’s no visual clutter + the map doesn’t lag as much and is cleaner to play. Kyoto is the opposite and everybody hates that map + performance issues

[vale wedge]

x

[meager hemlock]

official presentation of Fortune Stadium just dropped. quite nice. thx. now pls put it into your game modes.

[mellow oracle]

yup

[teal fable]

i second this, casual friends that seen the new map with me said all the floors look the same

maybe a shape pattern on each floor consistent through out the whole map? like a block of stripes, dots, X, squiggly lines etc

[earnest goblet]

I've been enjoying fighting in rubble, CQC is refreshing

[alpine coral]

It can be enjoyable, until a piece of wall falls for no reason and blocks your LoS on a stealing enemy you were about to turn into a pile of coins, losing you the entire round. 😄

[earnest goblet]

It's worth boxing out the sniper

[alpine coral]

I like destruction, but I think it's overtuned right now, buildings turn to rubble too quickly and for no apparent reason.

[trim hare]

yeah it's cool as hell

[vivid salmon]

Did they change that? I feel like they breakdown a lot quicker and easier now than previous seasons.

[vivid salmon]

Way better than Kyoto

[vivid salmon]

I hated Kyoto from the jump

[alpine coral]

Yes I believe they did because I noticed the same thing. Just throw a red canister and watch half of the building come down. This is really too much and although it can be fun/chaotic at times, I think they should tone it down a little because it doesn't make sense most of the time.

This is especially true on Kyoto (always has been, I would say, it was even worse at launch) and Fortune Stadium.

[jovial maple]

what if they had a titanic styled map where you can destroy the whole ship

[tranquil trail]

i know i'm having a bad day. but on this bad day, WORLD TOUR FUCKING SUCKS AND I HATE IT. perhaps it should be improved.

[thin fractal]

.

[molten adder]

a couple people have been suggesting an oil rig map, that would be insane

[dark bough]

need 1 for quick cash

[stable solar]

Protect your cash out from a distance.

[cosmic pike]

fax worst map

[radiant orbit]

Underwater with permanent low grav

[livid oak]

OMG, not the permanent low grav 😱

[trail prairie]

or 0 grav! everbody is just floating slowly and has to use recoil to accelerate 🤔

[radiant orbit]

You know what they use in space to "accelerate"... 😄

[trail prairie]

exactly!

[half hornet]

Vegas and Kyoto are bugged out, lagging like crazy on both maps, please fix Embark, it’s unplayable

[rapid galleon]

kyoto trash maop

unplayable

[golden stirrup]

What makes it bad? Genuinely curious

[dry stump]

nuketown

[hasty star]

ngl the map isn't even designed bad it looks beautiful and everything but it's just a bit laggy which is a shame because I love kyoto.

[open bane]

The only thing I can complain about kyoto is that its laggy. Some people may also dislike how open kyoto is, due to being laserd across the map.

[golden stirrup]

@hasty star too, I can understand the laggy part being frustrating, but I also agree it’s an amazing map. Being too open can make sense but there are ways to play around it imo.

[open bane]

Its a cool map. No but. Its just cool

[hasty star]

It's a bit hard to justify it when you're on the lower end of the game specs on pc

The destruction physics are amazing and I love them but on most maps it's a bit of a lag

and on kyoto its way worse

[open bane]

That game is insane on the CPU. Thing becomes a heater. Especially on kyoto I agree

[hasty star]

Yeah Im on a ryzen 3 4100 which is not by any means good. I usually play GPU intensive games so I didn't prioritise the CPU when building it

[open bane]

got a 2070 with a ryzen 5 something (ik not the best but good enough) and I got 40 frames when kyoto released

[hasty star]

For context I built the pc with the plan to upgrade to better parts after a bit but I never did because the pc worked for me

[open bane]

I built mine because my old pc had an ancient i5 with a 970 in it. No modern game ran on that thing anymore

[hasty star]

Yeah before this i was running an i7-2600 and 1050. I was NOT playing games on it

the new pc is nicer but It still struggles a little on bigger maps like kyoto. But I'm willing to just put it as my PC as the ryzen 3 4100 is by no means a world breaking CPU

[open bane]

not on bigger maps like kyoto. Probably just kyoto

[hasty star]

Only because the others have less parts really

[open bane]

and when a random building in skyway stadium just decides to collapse by itself. Also kinda lags

[hasty star]

Yeah that's happened a bit, recently I've found my pc lagging on destruction physics more than before season 4

idk if it's just a bug that popped up randomly or something to do with the changes from season 4

[open bane]

Season 4 saved me with like a 100% fps boost

[hasty star]

I've not been struggling too much before or after

Low settings get me through just fine.

[open bane]

can recommend turning off steam recording if you have that turned on. Thing eats through the finals

[open bane]

or any recording app

[hasty star]

I'll try i don't use steam too much so it might be on by default

[open bane]

Its on by default if you got the steam beta activated

[slate atlas]

very big lag when buildings are falling apart, I didn't have this problem before, it started from season 4

[north flume]

huge amount of lag from start to finish of matches on kyoto. every single time and only as of season 4

[void fossil]

Is it just me or I never lagged on kyoto I lag more on fortune stadium

[pseudo parcel]

A fellow odst

[maiden vessel]

ye

[slate flower]

feet first into hell my brother!

[pseudo parcel]

OORAH!!

[slate flower]

OORAH

[pseudo parcel]

AM I RIGHT MARINES?

[neon viper]

kyoto makes me sad

[bleak axle]

Fortune stadium is such a weird map. It looks boring.
The destruction is hilariously annoying.
It feels mostly like: „you wanted a new map for the new season? Here take some assets of skyway stadium, Seoul and sys horizon and be happy“
Its is nice for a change but it feels awful

[tacit magnet]

L take sorry my boy

literally the best parts of each of those maps combined in an original way

[bleak axle]

Only because it plays nice doesn’t mean it looks good
For me at least it doesn’t

[golden stirrup]

I personally think it looks fantastic for the feel of the finals, epic game show vibes

[dense granite]

youre right and you should say it, map is the only bad part of s4 its boring

[west spear]

Fortune Stadium could’ve been better but it’s ight. Maps I think they should consider that have probably been mentioned here before: Moon map, Tokyo / Shibuya, medieval town/castle, Rome 96 AD, and New York.

[marsh juniper]

Same, I think it's because your game has to load all the water and all the constructions even if they are far away because the map is very opened. I hate this map because you are lagging in the middle of a huge playground for lights and that's just hard to play

[quiet tiger]

100% agree on that , with weeker cpu its kinda bad rn

[marsh juniper]

My cpu is a bit weak so, that's why I get fps loses sometimes

[north flume]

i just don’t understand why it’s so bad now, it never lagged this bad on s3, the game felt perfectly optimised on xbox

[marsh juniper]

I I didn't played much on s3, I played on s1,s2, left at the end of s2 then reinstalled at the end of s3 so idk how it was

[north flume]

fair enough

[quiet tiger]

i mean i tried on my xbox series s and it was 60 frames all game but that was in s3 , dunno bout series x

[visual phoenix]

In 4 games, I had 3 times kyoto map 😂

[dawn lagoon]

kyoto is dope. promotes more gadget use bc theres less cover. Im on an msi katana laptop and it doesnt lag. may be time for an upgrade, my friend.

[tidal quartz]

idk on the sx is super smooth, not on my tv tho but on my 24 inch gaming msi monitor theres an option to force 120hz FPS

well keep in mind the series s is weaker than base ps5 interms of performance aswell so

[tidal quartz]

looks like a solid laptop my guy
im definitely considering upgrading my current setup gtx 1650 and i7 16gb ram
probably will get an i7-i9 32gb ram and rtx 4060+
looking at the strix g18/nitro 15/16
at this day and age honestly laptops can stand pretty well against desktops specially in gaming

i have an Xbox series x, considered getting a ps5 but honestly most of the exclusives alr coming to pc and xbox like god of war spider man morales etc dont get much of the hype

even the last of us coming to pc iirc

and sony's main selling point was the exclusives bc xbox's gamepass is objectively better

[quiet tiger]

I mean standing well vs pc is lil overstaitment cuz same i7 and 4090 in laptop will lose by 1/3 at least vs same procesor series and gpu series on PC cuz of watage , i play on lenova legion 5 pro and lerned it hard way cuz i thought it would be same strength as pc 😄

[tidal quartz]

oh yea definitely the mobile chips are weaker but not in an overwhelming amount you know what i mean like youll be able to game comfortably if u get a good laptop

like ive seen a same spec laptop vs desktop comparison on like an i7 and rtx 40 series and the difference in like 80% of popular tested games (cyberpunk gta etc) were like anywhere from 5-20 fps difference at max

but yea sometimes the +20 fps u get from a desktop can save u from 40 to 60 fps

and plus just the portability of a laptop makes u pay more compared to desktop so yea ig it depends on ur situation

[quiet tiger]

I mean for finals on legion 5 pro i get like 60-80fps but its berable

[tidal quartz]

definitely playable

u can get even more fps significantly using optimus techonlogy basically plugging it in to an external monitor and using it as a desktop (coming from someone who grew up with a mid end studio laptop)

[quiet tiger]

Yee i play on 24inch 144hz monitor , but still its the same :/

[tidal quartz]

oh damn i got like a noticeable improvement

im surprised the legion 5 pro holding up with the finals honestly

its a pretty cpu heavy game with all the destruction physics etc a lot of shit going on

[quiet tiger]

I mean prob ned to sell that and get like 900e pc thats like 2x better

[quiet tiger]

In seson 1 it was 40-60fps:D

[tidal quartz]

yea i assume u prob want to upgrade to a desktop or smt in the future

[open osprey]

We all agree Vegas needs to disappear right?

[onyx oyster]

as a holtow sponsored contestant you should be ashamed

[open osprey]

Love Holtow… but Vegas isn’t it fam

[onyx oyster]

i enjoy vegas very much

[open osprey]

Think you might be the first person I’ve heard that from.

Everyone I play with instantly gives up when that map shows its face.

[hoary rose]

Rome map season 5!

[vagrant igloo]

Hate Vegas, Kyoto and fortune(unless I'm the heavy in fortune)

[eternal geyser]

Vegas is one of my favorite maps

[fathom mountain]

Not just that, but some of the buildings are such a pain to navigate. So many awkward nooks and crannies that lead to nowhere and just get you stuck. I get they’re going for authenticity or whatever and maybe old ass Japanese buildings were like that but good grief it’s annoying to navigate in game.

[coarse path]

whats yalls fav map

[meager hemlock]

Fortune Stadium on Power Shift.

[obtuse sparrow]

this new map is just garbage, ngl

[slate flower]

that exists?

[meager hemlock]

ish

[lethal locust]

fully agree

[neon viper]

type shi

[void fossil]

The ones that don’t lag and penalize you.

[wooden badge]

monaco is just the goat of maps

[daring garnet]

yeah

[coarse path]

yeah

[alpine wind]

so as a canadian i have went to niagara falls and thought to myself that it could make a good map for the finals
however it will feel a tiny bit like vegas and there are a couple of big open spaces like near the waterfalls

[mint knot]

All map good map

[worldly girder]

We need more map variants

[zealous patrol]

Id like a tropical island map in the finals. I'm thinking about the Lost Island map from BF4.

each island connected via jump pads and destructible bridges.

Water slows you down if you get suck in it.

Maybe can introduce a flood in game event
Maybe can have boats floating around for us to jump across & destroy/sink

[zealous patrol]

1. Unhacked SYSHorizon
2. Modern day Kyoto

Both are on my wishlist

[zealous patrol]

I was just thinking earlier about if they would ever make a map with a waterfall

[tired scaffold]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/1009830578545246213/1291302271295946752/output_1.gif

[karmic grotto]

Would be a nightmare with all the vegetation just like Kyoto but worse

[zealous patrol]

I have now labeled you as "a pessimist"

[karmic grotto]

Would be cool like the airport in Singapore

[tired scaffold]

according the pattern, next map gonna be an irl location. Probably in South America, Africa, or Australia since every other continent has 1 map each. do with that what you will

[wooden badge]

New zealand map is real

[karmic grotto]

I wish for a troy map or Ancient Rome

[zealous patrol]

Antarctica

I still want a Futuristic map

[elfin flax]

an alternate map variation of Seoul that has the construction area and a rework of the current version, the path feels shorter than other powershift maps and the starting area and mall are the only places that feel good to fight the platform in. Also Powershift Vegas and Fortune when?

[lilac spear]

TAKE OUT KYOTO AND VEGAS TOO MUCH LQG NOT FAIR

[elfin flax]

oh a festival variant of Kyoto would be nice, some paper lanterns to light up outdoor and indoor areas alike with wooden shop stands and carts to populate the open areas that are normally devoid of any cover. maybe even some rafts or boats out in the water areas so contestants arn't so much without a paddle when in said water.

[tulip chasm]

Love Vegas too almost no snipers there hehe

[elfin flax]

some of the buildings might keep their roof even with a platform plowing through them

[clever folio]

What a mysterious phenomenon

[latent onyx]

Chicago Navy Pier would make an amazing map if we are talking about real wold locations. Imagine knocking down the ferris wheel

[clever folio]

could be a really nice idea

as much as I love the concept of adding irl maps, it charms the game

[frail pasture]

Strongly disagree

[obtuse sparrow]

its just a sniper fest with pikes and a new hospital. boring

[frail pasture]

Nah its fun, use heavy with deagles, trust

I've never been sniped on that map.

Although maybe my enemy's aren't that good lol, im only silver

Atm at least, i bet i can make it up to Gold with ease

[obtuse sparrow]

higher elo is just triple mediums with pikes/cl40s

[latent onyx]

I think the new map is okay I would just like it to feel less barren. It feels very sterile. Theres nothing random to pick up. Theres no thing like the computers in syshorizon or the potted plants in monico. It wouldn't take a whole lot. Just some chairs and couches scattered about. Make some of the buildings feel more like a place people could actually go. Some reception desks and stuff would go a long way

[zealous patrol]

Miami Florida (I'm biased because I use to live here)

Beaches, High Rises, luxury islands (fisher Island).

It would be cool to see how Embark would use this location as an inspiration for a map.

[latent onyx]

Yeah but make it like Miami (2007) because in the future the finals takes place in my guess is that shit is fully underwater at that point

Similar to like how theres the variant of las Vegas thats just covered in sand

[fallow widget]

Strongly agree on your disagree.

[frail pasture]

We're is ur pb from?

[fallow widget]

Pb?

[jovial gull]

Dubai map

[marsh juniper]

That would be cool if we only had a huge and very high building like the one you have to climb to get Sundowner's ass in MGRR and a small exterior with a beach, the cash boxs and cashout would be higher and higher throughtout the game and I think that would be very fun . When you win, your team would be on the helicopter landing platform

At the top of the building

[unborn vessel]

Just release a map thats just monaco but it doesnt have a forest and modifiers

[marsh juniper]

No point, that would just advantage lights ! As I thought, light main 😂

[teal fable]

drowned miami, everglades take over variant?
swampy, moss as a temporary surface; keep moving or else you fall into the water like kyoto as a gimmick

hell maybe over death pits, similar to moving platforms

probably better to just repurpose the kyoto water or only have it in certian areas

[zealous patrol]

Or.... Maybe they can just make a Miami without the flooding???...

Every map in the finals is "loaded up" which is why they can modify it

They can make an under water map if they wanted too...

If anything, id like to see their idea of what a futuristic place in the real world would look like.

[zealous patrol]

I'm a city boy so I'm not too keen on the forest, swamps, etc.

I'm thinking jump pads & zip lines over the water

Leap frogging from boat to boat mid- game destroying boats and bridges between islands and docs

Beachfront action outside the high-rises

A beach and trees section

Falling into deep water = instant death

Iconic buildings like Brickel Heights and 1000 museums

+++
A sunset over the water variant would be dope

A hurricane event would be dope AF

A tsunami event would be dope af

Alot of cool options for this map

So we know that Skyway stadium, Fortune Stadium, & technically Seoul have island sections.

If they compressed the elements of an island and made the deep waters kill you and have beach front action, that would be so sick.

[elfin flax]

I really like the look of autumn Kyoto, such a pretty map thats honestly grown on me. I wonder what it'll look like this coming winter

[delicate jolt]

when we getting water park theme map

[elfin flax]

man the majority of players hate the water features in Kyoto due to the hazards it presents but everyone keeps suggesting water themes; gamers really are masochistic

[tranquil trail]

does anyone feel like time of day makes no difference on the stadium maps, like the light level feels identical regardless of the time

[marsh juniper]

As a s1 og, I hate kyoto because the disign just makes it advantageous asf for lights and that's just not fair plus the fact that it's sometimes laggy asf because of all the water and all the building the game as to load at the same time

[elfin flax]

As another s1 og, I like kyoto because of its completely different design. while it defiantly is light favored but its nice to have a map that forces people to play differently that they normally would. Also with the addition of the mediums LH1- I mean the Pike 556 and the heavies akimbo pistols its a bit more tolerable.

[marsh juniper]

I mean, I don't hate it to much but the fact that unskilled lights are just double team wiping across the map with snipers is a bit dumb, like, buff the barricade or something, give it 3 barricades and I'll be happy

I did not talked about dome shield because a buff would make it to op

[elfin flax]

After checking to make sure the barricades couldn't currently, I think allowing barricades to be placed on walls or variations of the barricade such as a metal umbrella like sun shield. However the ability to create a metal forest with multiple heavies is a tad to silly to make even more viable, therefore more barricades would not be as fun as different kinds.

[runic belfry]

okay but like sniper actually requires skill now so honestly if theyre hitting shots its deserved

[median granite]

idk considering that the Heavy can place down 4 in total, I'd say give it a faster recharge.

[teal fable]

yeah i meant as like a variant

Miami would be a map
Everglades Takeover would be a variant of said map

[zealous patrol]

Oh! Like the Vegas map and the sandstorm variant

Cool

[jagged bramble]

Holy fucking shit can you stop queuing me into Kyoto??

[still wasp]

New map is cool

[marsh juniper]

Yes

[marsh juniper]

Relatable

[radiant cradle]

that is a good idea

[latent onyx]

Drowned and overgrown might be a thing you could do. i dont imagine many people still living there in the future. maybe like have the whole place be taken over by greenery and what not basically urban ruins. the other thing though is thats a bit depressing for the future. a dystopian game show would probably wanna steer away from real world horrors for more upbeat distractions

[opal prawn]

That's called turning people's PCs into bombs

[modest bison]

Hello guys is my first time posting here so excuse me if I do a mistake, I'll do my best.

In my home city there is a huge construction, is called ciudad de las artes y las ciencia, situated in Valencia (Spain) which are the union of diferent buildings:

1. Opera building
2. Museum
3. L'hemisferic (ovoid room, looking like a sphere where you can watch films in this sphere, special films not the regular ones, i think)
4. An aquarium
5. A building where sometimes they make special events, like motocross, tennis.. etc.

I will post down here a few pictures of the place. As I said is a huge place, maybe embark could transform to adapt it better so it has good gameplay. I remember playiing mirror's edge and I always thought this scenario would kind of fit because it's futuristic and mainly white. I remember mirror's edge being mainly white with some accent colours here and there. It will be of course an honour if they make this true in the game. I like Monaco map, is my favourite map, kyoto is cool but it feels way too big in my opinion. So if they put this scenario I hope they make it smaller (quality over quantity), even though they put out some things.

I dont know how to include pictures in this message so I will post links of pictures from google in the next message

What kind of game level can lead to my account being banned three times in two months? https://discord.com/channels/1008696016318513243/1293174218996977786

[gentle cypress]

New map os amazing!

[fresh roost]

Water has no physics tho. The foliage and the detailed destruction of the wood however, that’s what lags ur game the most

[topaz token]

Does anyone else miss how fragile Kyoto was? The destruction differntiated itself between other maps and I quite enjoyed it. Obviously it was tuned for optimization but it just doesn't feel that great

[latent onyx]

Kyoto already does that tbh

[marsh juniper]

I thought that was it

[marsh juniper]

Relatable, it makes you lag at the worst timing possible

[chrome storm]

I hope the next map is a real world location at a time in the future. I liked that vibe a lot. New maps are fine, but I like the idea of the future to us , but the past to the contestants a lot more than simulated maps and far off in the past maps

[finite turtle]

“Unskilled” “across the map with snipers”

As if the team of 3 meta mediums running around wasn’t bad enough

[vapid basin]

wow look there

howde do

[marsh juniper]

Idm medium, it's a class that I like to play, ik that the triple defeb and healing beam maybe problematic but has a heavy main, I only hate on lights but now that I got my light buster loadout ready, I still hate them but I can kill the campers easily

[marsh juniper]

Honestly, the only lights that I really think are not human are the cringe campers with their xp-54 and invis, waiting for you to open a door, these people are not human, they can't find intelligent and fun strats, they pick whatever does the most dmg 😂 . And get a better aim if you only play sniper, that's it, play some really skilled weapons, not weapons that almost one shot from 300 meters

[dusk sigil]

fortune stadium is amazing, delete kyoto. thats my input for the day!

[teal fable]

noted. thank you, danglyballs

[vagrant sage]

I wish Kyoto was nuked instead of Nagasaki 😔

Ho Chi Minh trail map when ⁉️⁉️⁉️

[lilac spear]

Remove Kyoto please man like the lagging is unbearable

[marsh juniper]

Agreed

[uneven plover]

A new map so bad for me

Not fun

[dusk sigil]

so hey guys! me again. today i queued up 3 times and i quit immediately when my eyes glanced over the map name and it began with a 'k'! I know....silly me!!!! but wowzers getting the same map three times in a row? jeez louis thats a coinkidink!

[torpid vapor]

get a better pc

[proven halo]

get a grandma 🪆

[torpid vapor]

I have 2 dont need another one thx

[proven halo]

not enough get 7 more

[torpid vapor]

Alr alr...

[meager solar]

Ps5 down again or everyone ?

[errant spindle]

everyone is down man

[meager solar]

I think it's back up I just queued in

[errant spindle]

nice

[dark pendant]

Am I the only one who noticed that one of the Holtow buildings have tiny platforms connected to each other at the edge that fall when you shoot them twice

[north shell]

love the new map

[glass ice]

I don't think many people understand that their not just going to get rid of Kyoto. They might optimize it better, which would be nice, but still.

[golden stirrup]

Right? I understand it might not be an enjoyable map but get we have to get used to it, every game has maps people don’t like.

[copper hazel]

For my bubble sys horizon can get binned. Kyoto is pretty cool to zoom around on

[finite harness]

i see alot of kyoto hater, but i would like to see good feedback on why its bad and what can be improved

[jagged bramble]

I would personally like to see more pre installed zip lines on Kyoto. It might not make much more sense but there needs to be a faster way to move around the map.

[unborn vessel]

How 2 improve kyoto:
remove it

[finite harness]

thats what i meant, ppl cant tell the devs whats the problem so they can maybe adjust it, they will never remove it

[unborn vessel]

Theres no saving kyoto dude

The best thing they could do for kyoto is removing the bamboo section and making it so water doesn’t slow you down

[finite harness]

water slowing down is a good thing, the game has different elements and i like it. if you run in water its obviously your very own fault, there is no destruction happenning around so its totaly your choice to run in water its not rng

[golden stirrup]

The water can be frustrating but that’s a really good way of thinking about it. Otherwise Kyoto is pretty fun, I love fighting in the buildings because they’re not just squares like every other map, they have depth and differences that are fun to play around. Specifically I like the little stable/barn that’s weirdly shaped, along with the temple in the middle of the pond

[celest lantern]

I think even if it's the worst map to play in, the map is very beautifull.

[zealous patrol]

How would Embark be able to incorporate Overwatch's old "2 Capture point" mode 🤔🤔

I think it might work out well...

[teal fable]

im praying for 5v5 Cash

[zealous patrol]

That would be a good mode to test.

[celest lantern]

and free for all

[zealous patrol]

That should be a limited time mode where you only play as lights cuz only 10% of players will try something different.

Maybe they should make a mode where you can make your own character.

Light class
Charge & Slam
Pike
RPG
APS turret

[celest lantern]

1v1 mode ? 😎
