All mappers have the chance to explain with the testers why they think their map is better than others during the Testing period explaining the basic concept of their map.

Kryw what you said is pretty offensive and I would suggest if you test maps yourself to get a better idea of what submissions were made and use that 'expert opinion' of yours - If you care that much about the map pool.

#23 kryw how about you write up a guide about how you create maps, me and I'm sure many others would like to learn more about how to make competitive maps. Sharing information is key if we want better maps to come out. Please add to my earlier post: http://forum.maniaplanet.com/viewtopic.php?f=433&t=19038&start=10#p193957

I would say Deal With It, instead of finding arguments against these maps. It's human nature to be either pissed about yourself not beeing good on that map or it is just beeing mad that your maps dont get picked. Remember; everyone plays on the same map with the exact same difficulties. Your own skill decides the match, not the map.

Having a map-building community is good, but for keeping it equal everyone should get a chance to have a good elite map.

And again, senseless conflicts like this split the community even more into 2 groups; the ones who believe that only holy official maps are "playable" and the ones who believe in the community. The truth is, there is no "mapping elite". There are more than just a hand full good maps out there.

Some time ago we had a community elite server and it ran pretty well with community maps. More than half of the people liked the idea of community maps, while some wannabe professionals played a map for 2 rounds and concluded it sucked (because they were obviously not good), while most of the community maps can actually demand specific skills (orientation, speed, aim, hearing).

Just my 2 cents.

You can't just propose a mappack like that in the comments, it's way too late for that. The testers have spent lots of time on making a selection. If you don't like it, you should have just joined the testers and gave feedback to the builders yourself so they'd be able to improve.

Kryw, to be honest I don't like your new maps. Get over it. This is the way how we choose maps.
Like-vote for
Don't like-no vote.
Maybe next time.
Let other people create the maps for the official pools. You are not the only guy who creates the maps.

The drakonia server is not the only server that has the poll maps, many other servers also include these maps. Get off your arse, stop complaining and ask around to join a server with the maps installed and stop being a f****** baby

It's not possible for this anymore. You can send it in for the next mappack if there is coming another one.

in the end its the same as with the eswc map pool, as soon as we adapted, kryw will be heared and all our training will be for nothing, not gonna play these maps for the next week or so :PP
+1 for Swift though as it is one of the best maps imo

No idea, I asked John before but he wasn't sure if there is coming a new mappack because they weren't enough active testers for this mappack. :s
