Tanki is balanced! We just need better maps

[r_DidYouKnowThat0 1,662]

I sometimes don't like Ping-Pong because the enemy is so close to you. Lol! Especially if they're a Freeze and they can just come over to your side any time. :o Gives me that adrenaline. . .

[r_DidYouKnowThat0 1,662]

 

 

No, definitely not; But I prefer it could held more players.

Because it used to held 15 or something.

15? :blink: What if they were all Mammoths. . . .I doubt anyone could respawn/move.

Nope, that was Massacre. -.- Ping-Pong, do you even know what that map is? It's ridiculously crowded with just 6 people in it.

 

EDIT: And this is just an example of the state of our community, with lots of people not knowing what each map is... I'm proud to say that I've played in every single Tanki map. And that I can remember the general layout of around 98-99% of them.

I recently talked with Mehrdad (The creator of Iran) on Skype.

 

From what I know another mapmaker (I know the name but name calling is a bad habit) submitted Iran II without permission from him. Merhdad actually wanted to contact an admin to get that map on the main server.

I actually love Ping-Pong... should I be ashamed of myself?

I think the idea for ping-pong wasnt bad, but I dont like the map.

Come on, surely Silence II (!) is? Actually, I'd say Soli, Osa, 2042, and Barda could also be considered as perfectly-or-almost-perfectly balanced maps, but even so that's just 6.

Absolutely, more maps and better maps have to be created, but also current maps need to be updated. Let's take Serp, that's obviously not balanced... surely the routes to the top flag can be ironed out, so that the bottom team has more chance of success? Surely an extra route somewhere, maybe cut the big building in the front of the flag in two and put a route to the flag through there or something? I really like how Tanki have corrected the issues of Bobruisk and improved it into a vastly superior map, hopefully they can do the same with other maps.

Updating current maps would be nice, but more then that needs to be done.

I would say 2042 is pretty balanced, silence II, possibly, but with most I dont know :blush:

 

Well, let's hope the administration make sure maps like that don't win then?

I think contest organizers/judgers would be good enough to chose the right maps.

I know, but some of the maps there are just really good. :| And they're just left there in the test server, what are the testers looking for in a map? What was wrong with New Kungur/New Tribute? Of course, I don't know, but then I would like it if more maps then could be brought in to continue being tested and approved/rejected. Maps just left in the test server for ages... |: nah.

Im not saying they are bad, but if they have been sitting there for ages, that probably means there wasnt/isnt much intention of them being used.

No, definitely not; But I prefer it could held more players.

yep, I remember when ping-pong had 15 players. That was fun, you could fall off if everyone used mammoth, the whole map would be filled, and when you die, you couldnt respawn, because the whole map is covered in mammoths.

Nope, that was Massacre. -.- Ping-Pong, do you even know what that map is? It's ridiculously crowded with just 6 people in it.

Agreed, but I can hardly say I know most of the maps, I know the names(of all(ish), and layouts of most, but not all :blush:

No, seriously; it was somewhere around 15... or I must've been drunk at that time.

Was it? I can't remember. If so, that would have been hilariously epic. I know massacre was once a high total, for a short space of time...

Well, tell him to do so now then! T'would be epic if we could have it on main!

I think so :lol:, it was around 2010.

I had so much lags that I quit within a week of playing the game... and came back 2 years after.

 

I have some blurry memories of that week; but I really thought Ping-pong could held more players than now.

Same here

 

I have to agreewith the topic, more (balanced) maps are needed. Too many of the same maps being played too in the servers atm.

What we need is Crater.

Big maps + Low number of Players = Adrenaline rush

Is that your own custom-made map or something? :o Looks pretty interesting. However, it would hold like 12-20 people or more. Lol.

[UAA619 97]

12-20? Only? For that Ultra-Huge map we need at least 25 people.

[r_DidYouKnowThat0 1,662]

That map could hold a war! Lol.

That will be a laggy map

[MTAOTHE 19]

For better maps support my idea.

Lol, it will be the largest map ever in Tanki...

Maybe you missed "made by cheese3000" at the front, but I made it."

Its 10 a side for TDM/CTF, and 20 for DM.

It shouldnt lag that much, unless you look over the whole map at the same time.

[r_AdvocatusDiaboli0 861]

cheese have you tried getting that into the game? Talked with Bruce or Sem?

[cheese3000 23]

Yes, I have, not with bruce/sem though, AFAIK bruce doesnt have much to do with maps.

I did post it on the official mapmaking forum, but didnt get any replys from anyone who could actually do something.

I then got kicked out(of the forum, I re-applied with no success) when the new forum came, so my mapmaking came to a end.

Your a map maker O.o? Can i see some of your work please?

[cheese3000 23]

Here.

[Remaine 4,687]

Here.

 

Viking, Crashyoyoyoyoyo and yourself are the best non-official map makers.

You've never seen some of the Russian unofficial map makers... There are just so many good maps around, no idea why they haven't been added!

Indeed, I haven't. I'll check that out.
