Madness!

Fourth attempt to post about Madness - not sure why my posts aren't getting through?

 

Further to a previous poster who was quite upset about the changes to Madness and went and got his own topic locked because he presumeably was abusive I'll try to say what he didn't manage to.

 

You (the moderators, chiefs, rulers of Tanki) have said several times that the lower level of Madness was redundant or the upper level was redundant depending on your point of view - this isn't true, in the same way you can hide behind buildings and other obstructions in other maps the top level can be used as a vantage point from which to snipe tanks on the lower level, it also provides a place which can be used to defend a captured flag for instance. If you think that having the two CTF bases on the lower floor makes the upper redundant then simply move one of them to the upper level - straight away both levels are instantly both as important strategically!

 

the importance of the two levels is dependent on the tank you choose of course - its one of the few long range maps  and plays to Shafts strengths you wouldn't necessarily use freeze there but that's the players choice.

 

Finally why change it forever? Why not just create a Madness 2 and keep everyone happy!

Strikers and shafts were very annoying on bottom floor.

 

I played space mode today madness ctf it wasn't that bad really.

You just need to stay close to the flag carrier.

 

Always a group of 4 or 5 tanks should go for flag.

Again, its not that bad.

Atleast in space mode.

Further to a previous poster who was quite upset about the changes to Madness and went and got his own topic locked because he presumeably was abusive I'll try to say what he didn't manage to.

His topic was locked not just because he was abusive, but because (as I said in that topic) all discussion about the update should be kept in the official update topic. You may think that creating a separate topic with your pledge will mean that developers will be more likely to notice it and take action, but you're wrong. Developers rarely check the rest of the forum and news topics are the only place where they seriously pay attention to feedback and take it into account. Our job as forum moderators is to keep this discussion in those news topic and prevent it from being diverged to other places on the forum.

 

Now I'll post it here again: please discuss the new update in the official topic.
