What you need to know...

Hello everyone, I want to say Merry Christmas and Happy New Years. Now, the New Years Map is fun, although, it is unbalanced. I do not know if it was made just for fun, although, it needs to be rebalanced to keep the fun. Seriously, 10 cap points for one flag and blue points go very slow. This is an issue especially when there are player noobs who do not follow instructions.

Wish y'all would have waited till after Christmas to put on the shop sale. I'm broke af right now, but hopefully will get some moolah for Christmas.

 

As for the map, it has potential. I think the main thing that needs reworking is the number of flags and points. With the team sizes, there are simply not enough people in an unorganized battle to defend two points. There are always going to be team members who don't defend, so there's around 3 defenders per point. Attackers can come in groups and kill 2 or all 3, then its easy caps until defenders respawn and return to the point. While it is possible to defend, it is not possible to defend two or three consecutive (within 20 seconds of each other) attacks. If the flags are taken down to 2, and the points reduced to only 1, it will be a fun map. The point will be defendable, but there can still be multiple attacks. Literally every game I have seen so far (around 50 rounds, looking from the battle list) has had the red team win. That is the definition of unbalanced. With a 16 day event, there should be plenty of time to fix this map.

Thinking about last year's ASL map, the phrase that comes to mind is "If it ain't broke, don't fix it". I've never seen a better example of this saying. Tanki, please don't be complacent about the problems. We all want to play the special map, especially since there are 2x golds.

 

Found something else interesting. The total CP points in 15 minutes is only 90. Last year, I think it was 90, but there was only 1 point. If red has the means to make 3x the points, why does blue not? Either make each flag cap less, or give blue points faster. I still stand by my statement to make it 2 flags and 1 point. But also give blue points faster.

Forget what I've said. The map is awesome. If you only play for Reds. It's the best way to make crystals so fast. Cap 2-3 flags during the battle and you'll get nice funds. 370, 448, 443, 534 in my last 4 battles :wub:

[Cyborg 3,189]

For blue team, its a night mare. I suggest to increase the CP score increasing rate for blues.

[a7x_Pedro48 13,999]

Or suppress one CP. It' simpossible to defend properly on two CP and go to red base and disturb red players in the same time.

[marc.jp_44 20,837]

Agreed^

Blue team has no incentive whatsoever! Return don't even give EXP ... I've returned close flags where they're about to cap but no real reward or incentive ... Red team is fun but overall I don't like the map at all.

I though that this map was going to be like the last year, but it was changed, adding 3 new capture points.

 

The problem is that people do not understand that they have to defend these points, instead, they go to kill and they leave capture points, making it possible for attackers to capture the flags.

Challenge: Blue team has to win the battle without supplies/boxes.

 

The first blue team to win a battle need a prize because they always lose against the reds.

Thats not the problem. Even if people do defend, the defense is too spread out, especially with 3 flags to defend from. It needs to be changed to 2 flags and 1 point to make it more fair. Even great defenses cannot defend well. Just played against a really good defense, but the final score was still 500-222.

I agree, There needs to be less Flags and Less Cap Base too.

The value of the flag capped should be 5 instead of 10.

I found a battle where the blue team won.

 

I don't know how to put the image into the forum.

if you guys are saying this then why have a new map why not just use last years and recycle .. come on guys enjoy the game and if you don't like the map for flag or cp then use it for dm instead its more fun due to its a huge map and you have a larger  area to battle / the kills in .. also for gold drops most drop in the middle and if no one is there but you then you stand a higher chance of getting them..

 

so far i have not battled cp or flag .. so i'm not sure about it ...and for what your saying it would be better off just doing those on regular battle fields

[o.O_clairvoyant_O.o 18]

Blues always lost in my case. So I preferred joining red.

It should be a small map with 2 flag 1 point. The gold box sign is Andi not clear on white background

cool.
