Emp_Slaughtered 2.21 Feedback Thread.

For those who have had the chance to play the revised version of Slaughtered, here is the feedback thread for any problems or suggestions.

The map can be found HERE: http://rapidshare.com/files/175486222/emp_slaughtered_2_21.7z

Currently Known Issues:

Bad FPS (lowering your video settings seems to alleviate this)
Invisible ladders on the center building

 

Its interesting that the canyon is alot easier to defend cause
of the hill bevor the curve.

-to dark, i suggest to make a higher sun arc
-the platform is a noob attractor :/ means that you have like half your team camping it for no reason :/
-if you build the bridge while "inside" it you get stuck in it

 

Great looking map, but i recommend to remove some of the water areas (like under ref nodes) to gain some fps.

The platform finally gives people something to do at the bridge, once novelty wears off, it wont be as attracting.

 

any servers hosting this yet? or are we keeping it all on the hush hush.

 

Empires 4 All server is currently hosting it, and if we wanted to keep this hush hush, I would have put the thread in the tester forum.

Just spam one of the admins to put it on.

 

Yeh we have it, but because of FPS issues we aren't cycling it. Yet.

 

Wow, thats beautiful,
My FPS never dropped below 40, (while specing alone) so i'm not going to make any complaints there
The Ambient light could be increased a little bit, but I don't think its necessary.
If muzzle flashes and explosives threw off dynamic lighting this map would be screen shot heaven.

The pipes running around the map are a little unrealistic and really look like they were added on as an after thought, Why would you run pipes on the hill side when it would be easier to have them on the valley floor?
Why would you punch threw a hill side when it would be much easier to go around or over it?
Why do the pipes not seem to connect anything?
All they do is remind me that it is a computer game.

 

Beautyfull OMNI, but ofcourse we could expect this from you.

This is just the same problem with your other map, it lags.

It seems to happen if you look at too many brushes or entities at once.

And some of the shadows seem to be bugged...

 

A quick reminder here, I DID NOT MAKE THIS MAP, HELLION made it. I merely edited it for the 2.21 update.

 

The Platform in the lake,
The stairs that lead to the upper level, the material seems rather slippery, so when you take the corners you fly off, its annoying.

 

Could you please add indicators to all the ref giving flags, and make them only require 1 person to capture. Otherwise they end up getting ignored. The platform seems to nake people focus much more on the bridge, perhaps have a path from the shore by the s-bend to make it more attractive?

 

Only map sober.

 

i have no problems with fps.

negative things:
- too dark in some places.
- bad placement of some trees.

lol yes.

 

I saw you sat on that platform for ages.

 

are u talking about me? i dont use gezor as steam name.

 

Tested it one time, but these couple things were trouble for me and many others:

Can't see shit, 'cause of the darkness.
FPS, the map makes my "new ultimate PC" have 19 fps minimum especially at the bridge without tanks (imagine the bridge rushed by heavies, for example). No way to handle that with slower cpu's.

 

Your "Ultimate PC" must suck, because mine is a year old and it gets 40 at the bridge, and up to 80 in other places.
