you can't cancel old sandman stun

paper sluice
#

surprise attack

wintry marlin
#

right?

hybrid cloud
#

phlog isnt op its just dumb cheese

spare obsidian
summer steeple
#

ok then they should encourage pyros to actually not taunt in front of the enemy team

spare obsidian
#

you can be flying and the stun can still be on

left sand
#

ok but literally it seems no one here knows what phlog used to do

summer steeple
#

the uber just encourages players to just use it wherever

#

even if it’s a terrible idea

wintry marlin
#

it used to not have uber afaik

#

but beyond that I don't remember

left sand
#

the uber is completely fine the pyro dies in 0 seconds after its over

spare obsidian
#

but againt the community is a b*** when it comes to balancing sometimes they hate objectively better changes lol

#

but that's my 5 cents

hybrid cloud
#

i rememba

left sand
#

if you cant kill the pyro standing still then thats like your problem

summer steeple
hybrid cloud
#

wonder how that amby suggestion wouldve worked

spare obsidian
#

literally gas passer outside of MVM is so useless and in MVM is a try hard tour 99999 user trigger

summer steeple
#

specifically i feel like the uber is functionally useless except to clown on stupid players

wintry marlin
#

complaining about phlog mostly comes from when people don't expect it when they walk forward and get instadead around the corner.

#

but that's like all of the ubers

summer steeple
#

you either taunt in the middle of a team, and then roll the dice to see if you die

wintry marlin
#

and all of the kritzkriegs

summer steeple
#

or taunt around a corner and there’s no reason for it to exist

small sirenBOT
#

*or taunt around a

corner and there’s no reason

for it to exist*

spare obsidian
#

also gass paser is so niche in usage in casual lol

small sirenBOT
#

*also gass paser

is so niche in usage in

casual lol*

summer steeple
#

all it does is exist to have a dice roll and encourage players to do the former

spare obsidian
#

just makes pyros being able to be burned lol

hybrid cloud
#

gas passer is a bad weapon because pyro is not a useful combat class

wintry marlin
#

phlog is not problematic, it's just a different dynamic that doesn't play like an fps game

summer steeple
#

afterburn from any damage is a nice upside tbh

wintry marlin
#

you're waiting out their uber like it's dota 2

hybrid cloud
#

sniper does it better

#

minicrits > afterburn

spare obsidian
#

but sniper isn't a balanced class

left sand
#

fiend, its literally there because taunting for 4 seconds is a death sentence because of sniper and spy

summer steeple
#

can you not post an epilepsy gif

left sand
#

or really any class

#

pyro had 90% dmg resist before

#

and healed

#

to full

#

then they changed it to uber

#

its way better now

summer steeple
#

i just… don’t see why it’s needed, where are you taunting that you’ll be killed by a sniper

#

for backstab, just face away form a wall

left sand
#

literally people will walk

#

and find you

#

its just like

spare obsidian
#

tbf you can be good with any class is just the community is taking copium so hard that they can't stand how a stock player is dominathing a pub so easy

left sand
#

way too punishing to taunt

summer steeple
#

why are you completely in front of your team taunting with the phlog

left sand
#

thats not what i said

#

but people can move

#

with the movement keys

wintry marlin
#

is the problem of phlog that people use it defensively or offensively?

left sand
#

or blast jumping

summer steeple
#

but… there’s a team

spare obsidian
hybrid cloud
#

the problem with phlog is that its a crit gimmick

summer steeple
#

if you’re alone taunting with the phlog… why

#

that seems like a skill issue

spare obsidian
hybrid cloud
#

change it to like a laser rifle or a plasma gun

left sand
#

there is literally no scenario where you are gonna taunt and not die, thats why taunting after kill is such BM

#

because its like you dont care

#

its utterly deranged to suggest that taunting is perfectly safe to do in TF2

summer steeple
#

like i feel like there should be that dynamic of taunting further back to be safer vs having more crit time

spare obsidian
#

except if is 2fort

wintry marlin
#

taunting around corner and then jumping on the objective with the phlog is the best way to farm kills, works on koth maps best I believe.

#

and some payload maps.

left sand
#

literally removing the uber doesnt solve any problems

summer steeple
#

i would rather it to the dice roll we have now

hybrid cloud
spare obsidian
#

you know heavy is also the easiest class to use, you just... shot things lol

left sand
#

there is no dice roll

summer steeple
#

there’s no risk in phlog

left sand
#

youre like

hybrid cloud
#

the risk in phlog is playing pyro

summer steeple
#

unless you push directly into a team and taunt

#

it punishes extremely stupid plays and that’s it

left sand
#

i have no idea what youre talking about at this point

wintry marlin
#

maybe phlog needs a louder audio que

next nymph
#

i taunt after every kill in tr_walkway

wintry marlin
#

like elden ring bosses

#

when they about to one shot you

spare obsidian
#

moment

potent wolf
wintry marlin
#

sekiro red symbol warning

#

legit

#

it gives you warning that you should dodge or run

next nymph
spare obsidian
#

there's either good players or bad players

summer steeple
#

like all i see in the phlog rn is a dice roll for taunting in an enemy team and seeing if they have a brain, or taunting in an area where the uber doesn’t fucking matter

#

the taunt in the middle of the team completely stops gameplay for the duration of the taunt as the enemy team stands there and waits

paper sluice
# left sand i have no idea what youre talking about at this point

fiend is saying pyro shouldnt have uber with phlog taunting because if you arent a lobotmite and taunt in front of the team or near enemies who know you're there its still viable
dont taunt in sightlines and make sure youre up against a wall while taunting
heavies can eat a sandwich without dying because they position themselves correctly
the uber encourages stupid gameplay and punishes the stupid players the pyro is playing against

wintry marlin
#

I feel like the uber is not supposed to do anything strategically or offensively

spare obsidian
#

skill issue tbh

wintry marlin
#

it's just that it's there so you don't get killed while taunting in cover

#

basically you're a fnaf jumpscare for people who check corners

summer steeple
#

bringing up sandwich is a good point

#

because it does have that heal over time in case you get attacked

hybrid cloud
#

again i think the crit gimmick is like the entire problem here

#

why does it exist

summer steeple
#

but i feel like more often than not i don’t see heavies getting attacked during it

next nymph
spare obsidian
#

wouldn't the kirtskrit would is also gimmicky? lol

hybrid cloud
#

no?

summer steeple
paper sluice
#

great blue

spare obsidian
#

you trade uber with crits

wintry marlin
#

great blue made that map

next nymph
hybrid cloud
#

you have to build for 30 seconds and pocket a competent team mate

#

pyro also has to build but it's not hugely stressful if you know what flares to use

wintry marlin
#

maybe we should redesign the way phlog gains mmph

next nymph
#

phlog gains mmph by taunting with it

summer steeple
#

phlog should just be completely reworked tbh

wintry marlin
#

perhaps the head system like the eyelander

spare obsidian
summer steeple
#

it’s just not really good and only exists to be annoying

unborn pecan
#

phlog is so sexy

hybrid cloud
#

phlog shoots little plasma orbs that explode on contact

#

alt fire like shoots a gauss laser

#

boom phlog fixed

summer steeple
#

everyone complains about it but it sucks omega ass

next nymph
#

phlog rework:
+100% damage
-100% ammo

wintry marlin
#

wait

spare obsidian
#

gass passer outside of MVM really needs a rework frankly lol

wintry marlin
#

what if phlog legit worked like a lightsaber

hybrid cloud
wintry marlin
#

like, it's a cylinder of fire that doesn't have travel time

#

you just extend a giant hurtbox infront of you when you click fire

spare obsidian
#

idk, is like hating a good sniper lol

small sirenBOT
#

*you just extend a

giant hurtbox infront of

you when you click fir*

hybrid cloud
next nymph
#

yeah tbh i think weapons that are bad but bullshit are worse than good but enjoyable. Because the latter is just what we call a meta weapon in a healthy meta thats enjoyable to play

hybrid cloud
#

bad but bs can describe pyro as a whole tbh

#

the phlog is just an extension of that

spare obsidian
#

is more funny seeing how stock players stomps pubs to the point that makes sweaty try hards cry

hybrid cloud
#

no?

wintry marlin
#

some invasion minigun thought to function this way I think

#

an industrial laser drill

hybrid cloud
#

because if its like stock pyro then any player worth their salt is gonna crush them

wintry marlin
#

I would want to see a heavy laser gun tbh.

spare obsidian
#

knowing how projectiles acts with hig ping

hybrid cloud
#

either pyro or heavy should get some laser weapon

spare obsidian
#

uhh

#

they need to continue that futuristic weapon style tbh

wintry marlin
#

pyro will get a lightsaber torch, heavy will become a stormtrooper, bet

hybrid cloud
#

engineer short circuit is also a viable option to just turn into an electric beam

spare obsidian
#

how about the TFC Rocket Flame?

#

oh wait

#

that's the dragons fury

next nymph
#

maybe "they should give demo a glock" was misguided, this whole time we should've been giving it to pyro

crisp cedar
#

okay

#

so

#

wheres what i want

hybrid cloud
#

scorch shot is the incendiary cannon tbh

crisp cedar
#

i mean

#

heres what i want

#

i want normal airblast on dragons fury

#

and i want sniper rifle removed

#

huntsman only

spare obsidian
wintry marlin
#

and remove shield bubble from wrangler

spare obsidian
#

because i'm dreaming too

hybrid cloud
#

normal airblast on the fury is not the point of the fury tho

small sirenBOT
#

*normal airblast on

the fury is not the point

of the fury tho*

crisp cedar
#

i dont care

#

i just want dragons fury with normal airblast

hybrid cloud
#

just let me shoot in between airblasts that's what it needs

spare obsidian
#

dragons fury is a high risk high reward weapon

hybrid cloud
#

and give the weapon like a translucent model

crisp cedar
#

no its a high cringe high bluepill weapon

spare obsidian
#

i see a game sense issue

wintry marlin
hybrid cloud
#

i think making the fireball a flashbang that's only represented by a static particle effect is like

#

bad

wintry marlin
#

tbh dragon's fury is probably based on komodo dragons.

hybrid cloud
#

it should have a physical model with a fire trail

#

and then remove the dynamic lights

spare obsidian
#

tbh if you're supportive pyro but you want airblast use the Manmelter's secondary mode

#

along side of the dragons fury

hybrid cloud
#

if youre playing "support" pyro why pick the fury

#

go degreaser / stock

wintry marlin
#

I don't like that df is a flashbang so I use it with pyrovision.

next nymph
#

@summer steeple i think you should make a map called pl_politics (the pl is for payload and politics). It featres the red team as the republicans and the blue team as the democrats. And its like a metaphor for american politics but also a payload map but its kinda like both

spare obsidian
summer steeple
#

king of the house

spare obsidian
#

also how would you guys balance CTF?

steel orbitBOT
#

Many people feel excluded when you refer to a group of people as "Guys".
Some alternatives if you meant to refer to explicitly men: men, dudes
Some alternatives if you meant to refer to people in general: all, everyone, friends, folks, people

wintry marlin
#

don't need to

summer steeple
#

i would replace it with rd

wintry marlin
#

landfall

next nymph
#

but red side is gerrymandered (faster rollouts)

hybrid cloud
#

replace it with player destruction and convert arena maps to pd

#

put it in alt modes where people cant see it

next nymph
spare obsidian
#

i think the simplies solution is giving them a time limit lol

small sirenBOT
#

*i think the simplies

solution is giving them

a time limit lol*

hybrid cloud
#

no more new players rotting their brains on 2fort

spare obsidian
#

is so rare to see in TF2 now days a suddent death round

wintry marlin
#

ctf with time limit existed already

#

people hated it lol

spare obsidian
hybrid cloud
#

they took it out because people realized that horrifyingly, they would have to vote for the map again after the round ended

spare obsidian
#

at this point lol

wintry marlin
#

some people even complain about powerhouse having a time limit

crisp cedar
#

because ctf isnt made for tf2

hybrid cloud
#

arena maps are better suited tbh

spare obsidian
#

yeah but uhh good luck finding a full loby in arena mode

crisp cedar
#

in a game where 9 classes have different jobs ctf just doesnt work

next nymph
#

they should remove the time limit from trade maps

wintry marlin
#

arena got removed from the game for some reason

spare obsidian
#

why in TF2 expecifically doesn't work?

hybrid cloud
#

its not that they have different jobs its that the maps we have now favor specific jobs

crisp cedar
#

because theyre not quake?

next nymph
#

turn every ctf map into x10 randomizer 2fort skial

crisp cedar
#

tfc and qtf are very alike

#

theyre nothing like what tf2 is

wintry marlin
#

I don't think ctf ever worked great in any source-adjacent game

#

keep it in call of duty or battlefield, thanks

crisp cedar
#

either turn every ctf map into player destruction or just add a time limit to ctf

next nymph
spare obsidian
#

tbh they should make Domination has an official gamemode

hybrid cloud
#

it worked in older tf games because there was way more emphasis on advanced movement but in tf2 where things are streamlined and more cramped together and also engineer exists it cant really work that well

wintry marlin
#

ctf works in halo

crisp cedar
#

but halo is halo

hybrid cloud
#

ctf just favors defenders too much

crisp cedar
#

halo isnt tf2

wintry marlin
#

but it also works in dark souls, the halo mod.

spare obsidian
next nymph
#

they should fix ctf by making scout literally useless at fighting but good at grabbing the flag

hybrid cloud
#

yes

crisp cedar
#

anyways

spare obsidian
#

so its a map to map basis issue?

crisp cedar
#

player destruction is the process that made the ideal gamemode

small sirenBOT
#

*player destruction

is the process that made the

ideal gamemode*

crisp cedar
#

we went from ctf to rd then to pd

next nymph
#

ctf_turbine_pro is supposed to be not thay bad

hybrid cloud
#

its not map to map when there's like 6 maps and they all feel the same

crisp cedar
#

altohugh

#

guys

spare obsidian
#

how about neutral ctf? that exist, but nobody has use it lol

crisp cedar
#

tfc

#

has a bunch of ctf variants

wintry marlin
#

nobody plays that ever

next nymph
#

tfc is itself a permutation of ctf

crisp cedar
#

reverse capture the flag

wintry marlin
#

and I need achievements

crisp cedar
#

and

#

variant capture the flag

hybrid cloud
#

wasnt control points in tfc just really fast one sided ctf

next nymph
#

the flag capture

wintry marlin
#

nobody plays special delivery unless it's halloween

spare obsidian
hybrid cloud
#

where a scout could get to the end in 10 seconds and end everything

small sirenBOT
#

*where a scout could get

to the end in 10 seconds

and end everything*

spare obsidian
#

yeah lol

wintry marlin
#

special delivery is the superior ctf

spare obsidian
#

matches in TFC are wild in time lol

next nymph
#

what are peoples thoughts on payload race

hybrid cloud
#

anyways i agree with rayne replace ctf with pd

wintry marlin
#

but there is literally only a single fucking map in the entire game that is special delivery

spare obsidian
#

in the maps that uses it

crisp cedar
#

you carry the flag to the enemy control point

#

capture time is instant

hybrid cloud
#

yea

#

exactly

spare obsidian
#

i mean that also has the same issues has tf2 lol

crisp cedar
#

no

#

?

hybrid cloud
#

carry flag to enemy base and end things instantly if you know how to play scout

spare obsidian
#

i mean if i ever want to make ctf better i would just redesign the gamemode and maps

next nymph
#

they should make ctf but opposite you take your flag from your base and try and get it to the enemy base

wintry marlin
hybrid cloud
#

honestly would still be bad

spare obsidian
#

how about territory control? lol

hybrid cloud
#

you'd need to engi proof the flag pickup zones without making the class feel useless

crisp cedar
#

dude

next nymph
#

honestly i dont want your honesty if it will discredit my ideas

crisp cedar
#

special delivery

#

ok

#

hot tage

hybrid cloud
#

and its too much effort

crisp cedar
#

hot take

wintry marlin
#

reversing the ctf is how payload cp was made

crisp cedar
#

special delivery is a sleeper gamemode

spare obsidian
#

everyone remembers hydro right?

right?

crisp cedar
#

special delivery is actually good

#

like i like special delivery

next nymph
#

i like special delivery because i dont have to do the objective like hightower, except in hightower i do the objective to troll

hybrid cloud
#

based

#

actually kinda sad however

spare obsidian
#

how about Payload? lol

hybrid cloud
#

doing objectives in objective based video game = trolling now

crisp cedar
#

aint playing that shit unless it has stopwatch

#

also

#

i love a/d

hybrid cloud
#

i like a/d in theory

spare obsidian
left sand
#

flag should give a leader and aura buff and you cant cap if the other team has your flag (touch to return)

spare obsidian
#

that's literally what Tag gamemode is

left sand
#

this encouraged people to have large team fight engagements around the flag

crisp cedar
#

player destruction

#

leader

left sand
#

yes but different route

hybrid cloud
spare obsidian
#

i mean what do you gain with changing the gamemode if the ctf maps doesn't differ from each other?

wintry marlin
#

discussing different gamemode gimmicks is describing a james bond movie

spare obsidian
#

like hot take: ctf maps needs to be bigger lol

left sand
#

you cant change the maps

#

thats not realistic

#

if you want changed maps you make a new gamemode

wintry marlin
left sand
#

ex. mannpower

spare obsidian
#

that's literally 3wave

crisp cedar
#

mannpower was the shit

#

...well yeah

hybrid cloud
#

i did not care for mannpower

#

it felt like someone's sourcemod

next nymph
#

they should replace ctf with tc

left sand
#

krispy you know youre not contributing when you recall random facts about the gamemode

spare obsidian
hybrid cloud
#

"tf2 isnt quake" fellers when they add threewave ctf into the game:

spare obsidian
#

they clearly need to add desert bus map

left sand
#

mannpower is so amazing and works perfect in tf2

next nymph
#

ctf fix: add quad damage powerup to the center of the map

hybrid cloud
#

its probably just me then i cant really get behind powerups as a concept

crisp cedar
#

hey

#

guys

#

arent we forgetting something

spare obsidian
#

ah yes

#

passball

crisp cedar
#

THE BEST

#

GAMEMODE

#

not really but

#

i tihnk

next nymph
crisp cedar
#

pass time is really interesting

hybrid cloud
#

engineer camping the game mode

spare obsidian
#

LMAO

hybrid cloud
#

(its all modes)

next nymph
#

it really does pass the time

crisp cedar
#

i wish they worked on pass time more i like it

left sand
#

ctf fix, add small AI-controlled bots which spawn from your flag every 30 seconds and travel to the enemy flag, attacking anything in their way

wintry marlin
#

to stop those bots in their path add objectives along the way, like big structures that fire at them

left sand
#

players can kill these bots for gold they can use to augment their character

crisp cedar
#

this is what i think

summer steeple
#

call it CD

#

creep destruction

crisp cedar
#

sounds like bounty mode

wintry marlin
left sand
#

call it bounty mode

crisp cedar
#

this is just

wintry marlin
#

that game is so dead.

spare obsidian
#

they should add vsh gamemode

#

so arena doesn't fell death

left sand
#

they did

crisp cedar
#

vscript

hybrid cloud
#

i dont think koth has a single good map tbh

crisp cedar
#

my friend

spare obsidian
#

spawing halloween bosses doesn't count lol

crisp cedar
#

what

#

youre crazy

#

viaduct is a classic

hybrid cloud
#

2fort is also a classic

crisp cedar
#

its not a good classic

wintry marlin
#

tf2 in alternate universe

crisp cedar
#

dustbowl is the greatest classic

#

HEY

#

i wonder if koth 2fort would work

hybrid cloud
#

there is probably an actual koth 2fort on the internet rn

crisp cedar
#

probably

wintry marlin
#

not joking

next nymph
crisp cedar
#

ill be honest

hybrid cloud
crisp cedar
#

the worst thing about 2fort

#

is that fucking bridge

spare obsidian
crisp cedar
#

i hate that when you fall

#

into the water

wintry marlin
hybrid cloud
#

the bridge makes 2fort thats the thing

crisp cedar
#

you cant get back up you need to go through the sewers

#

the bridge is fine but i hate the sewers

wintry marlin
#

glad someone took the idea of removing the roof

next nymph
hybrid cloud
#

there's also like a 2fort pro

spare obsidian
#

WH real?

hybrid cloud
#

that has ledges that let you climb the bridge

#

or to the bridge, sorry

spare obsidian
#

they should re-do the layout

wintry marlin
#

okay this is hilariously bad now

crisp cedar
#

viaduct has a non event version

next nymph
#

they should make the bridge ten times longer

wintry marlin
#

now both sides are just empty of water

next nymph
wintry marlin
#

it's a fuckin pool

#

they turned sewers into a pool

left sand
#

i hate product

#

its like so bad it ruins the whole point of the map which is to spam engy buildings in the corner

next nymph
#

2fort but the bridge and the water is replaced with an infinite void that you cannot escape from

left sand
#

and camp the point

hybrid cloud
#

i have never played product but since it's the not snow version its probably better than viaduct

#

snow maps are ass

left sand
#

why hasnt anyone made proldfront

hybrid cloud
next nymph
#

i like product because it ruins the whole point of the map which is to spam engy buildings in the corner

hybrid cloud
#

you could easily say the mercs revamped the map or something

next nymph
#

where are the pro versions of mvm maps

wintry marlin
#

the mercs are fucking stupid and are destroying the environment then

crisp cedar
#

OKAY

#

another

#

thing

#

i think snowplow is underrated

left sand
#

tf2 needs to add 1 way walls as an available map mechanic

wintry marlin
#

they are terrible architects

left sand
#

so players can place sentries behind them

wintry marlin
#

that's why there's only 1 class that knows how to build

hybrid cloud
next nymph
wintry marlin
#

and chooses to build guns

left sand
next nymph
left sand
#

add it to the wrangler

#

it needs a buff

next nymph
#

the wrangler shield is replaced with a one way wall permanently

wintry marlin
#

legit, what if wrangler had a medic mvm shield instead of a 360 bubble

next nymph
#

what if wrangler instakilled you

left sand
#

it should have that and also depleting the shield should disable the sentry for 30 seconds and the engy cant move or switch weapons

hybrid cloud
#

the wrangler needs 4x resistance and like it need to be bigger so you can have a little bubble for your merc-y werc-ies to hide under

wintry marlin
#

meaning that wrangler dies to stickies but doesn't die to direct hit or heavies

#

bingo

hybrid cloud
next nymph
#

they should increase the size of the wrangler shield to be the whole map

crisp cedar
#

they should let you overcharge a sentry making it fire way faster but it blows up after like 4 seconds

wintry marlin
#

exploding buildings should do damage then

crisp cedar
#

to allies

wintry marlin
#

kill spies before they can sap, lol

next nymph
#

wrangler gets one shot in and then the sentry rebels against your command and starts shooting you

hybrid cloud
left sand
#

heavy should get diabetes whenever he eats

wintry marlin
#

having a secondary that makes building explosions do damage and knockback would make sentry jumping with gunslinger fuckin cool

hybrid cloud
#

engineers just had a c4 whenever he decided a dispenser was useless to them

next nymph
#

new heavy mechanic: have to count calories and spend time working out to balance the cheat day dalokahs

left sand
#

pyro should have a fuel tank on his back

crisp cedar
#

what if they finish cactus canyon for the summer update

left sand
#

that you can shoot

#

and it explodes

next nymph
#

pyro should have mesothelioma

crisp cedar
#

that is sooooo half life alyx

left sand
#

dealing 400 dmg to his team

crisp cedar
#

ok but

wintry marlin
#

since this place has so many gamemode ideas why hasn't anyone made their own tf2 yet?

crisp cedar
#

kinda unbalanced

#

like

left sand
#

i did

crisp cedar
#

i hate how unbalanced that is

wintry marlin
#

except for that one

crisp cedar
#

vscript exists

#

the days of tf2c are over

wintry marlin
#

go make overwatch 3

next nymph
#

tf2 is the overwatch killer

hybrid cloud
#

no coding knowledge no patience im literally a c tier ideas guy

left sand
#

scout should have a stamina bar and you can do parkour and run but have limited stamina and then after you move at heavy speed

next nymph
crisp cedar
#

pyro should get a bread monster secondar

#

y

#

it should work like snarks in hl1

next nymph
crisp cedar
#

hahahah

#

inhaler secondary

wintry marlin
#

I am the change and the world itself

crisp cedar
#

that instantly regains stamina on taunt

left sand
#

soldier should have no legs to be lore accurate

next nymph
#

i am become change, be the of worlds

hybrid cloud
#

make the gas passer like the mario sunshine water movement for pyro and have him crouch slide on his own gasoline and then light up the trail after he's done

left sand
#

playing demoman should render the world as an undertale type game (he has 1 eye like sans)

wintry marlin
#

I am become world, seer of change

next nymph
#

they should add ronald reagan as a class to be accurate to the time period

crisp cedar
#

alt fire with dalokohs bar should disguise heavy as demoman

# hybrid cloud i wonder what it would be like if prolander were more popular

Prolander’s biggest mistake was the name. By naming it “prolander” you 1. Solidify that it is a spin-off of highlander, and 2. Make a meme out of the audacity of naming it “pro”.

If it had just been named “RGL 7v7” it would have been approached as “okay here are the rules of the format, here’s what we thing the strat can be” and people wouldn’t have treated it like off-season Highlander. Instead people saw it and went “oh cool it’s just Highlander”.
The cringe factor of putting “pro” in the name just worsened the issue of people taking it less seriously.

Basically. Sigafoo is not great at naming things. Despite having one of the best names of any player.

#

isn't this from that one joke site where people jokingly flame modern culture

#

or is this in earnest?

wintry marlin
#

I am building what I'm thinking of but a lot of this is going to be blocked off, most definitely.

#

not even that big.

#

also, this makes it that blu spawn has 4 exits.

#

but I think only 3 should be active at a time.

#

before first point cap, the front exit will be closed while this back door will be open.

#

and then they'll be reversed.

#

or not, perhaps.

#

I am kinda building both inbounds and out of bounds at the same time.

#

hey

#

I wanna ask an experienced mapper

#

is it possible to teleport the payload cart?

#

making it go into a place and then appear in another one midmatch

#

meaning that the direction the players go changes halfway through, though that seems a bit of a fever dream.

crisp cedar
#

doable

#

should be doable i dont see why wouldnt it be doable

#

you can make it not really teleport but like

#

basically like the way it does it in gold rush

wintry marlin
#

disappear and then spawn in another location?

crisp cedar
#

when you finish stage 1/2 the cart just slides under the ground

wintry marlin
#

yeah I am aware of stages

crisp cedar
#

so i think you should be able to like

wintry marlin
#

but what about without stages?

crisp cedar
#

should be doable

#

i meant like you could use that method of like

#

hiding the cart

#

point is

#

it should be doable i see no reason as to why it wouldnt be doable

wintry marlin
#

it stops being a single track

#

but yeah I can see it

crisp cedar
#

ngl

#

multi stage payload map

#

where the very end goal is the same

#

sounds interesting

#

but like the first half is different

wintry marlin
#

okay, OKAY

#

you got my mind working

#

what if

#

this is a multistage map

#

but people always spawn in the same places

#

only that areas get opened and closed off

#

meaning that you deliver bombs in multiple places

#

this is like a spin on territory control but it's entirely payload

#

this is just smartly reusing the same piece of the map

#

Then it would be putting emphasis on making every objective close to spawn

crisp cedar
#

u know how in degroot keep it has pyramid style control points

wintry marlin
#

they reset after a timer?

crisp cedar
#

capture points a and b

#

c unlocks but on a timer

wintry marlin
#

sounds interesting

crisp cedar
#

so

#

theres a point that needs to be captured by blu to allow for the cart to be pushed

#

if red retake the point you cant push the cart

wintry marlin
#

but if blu fails to cap the third, where do the other 2 payloads appear?

crisp cedar
#

seems really defenders sided tho

#

no i mean

#

just one payload and one point

#

or maybe

wintry marlin
#

ah, makes sense

crisp cedar
#

ctf + payload

#

as in

#

instead of briefcases you collect payload fuel

#

idk

always sounds good in theory

but idk if itd be fun

do vikings come to villages to power their motorboats?

depending on the context, you could call this map beerport.

delivering beer into the castle.

alright

but yeah, putting emphasis on being very close to water

the entire starting area is like
"This place is built pretty high above water to not get flooded"

#

it will get dumber before it'll get better.

#

definitely needed to fix this glaring issue from the start.

#

dirty angle.

#

I made it make more sense.

#

this is still just making the layout.

#

oh and yeah, just for clarity.

#

that could be either a wall or a one way door.

#

the entire dock area will be blocked off by spawn barrier.

I named the folder where I saved the map files "Boletaria".

it feels a bit large but it can be solved

crisp cedar
#

that image of the soldier will never be not funny to me

#

i just see this guy and i think "this is mge guy"

wintry marlin
#

I think I know a perfect gimmick for this map

#

with each point capture the water level rises

#

and the friendly area gets submerged and it results in everyone dying instantly there

#

given how high above I am building the playable area with many overarching bridges, it makes sense.

#

the point is that it also defuses the friendly area and all the bottom dwelling sneaky teleporters get countered too

#

so there's no ridiculous ninjas who spend 5 minutes walking from first point to where the fight happens
