Thanks for the feedback, I'll consider/ fix all of it for the next version!

As for the crystal, there are actually a lot of those hidden all over the map as part of the overall hidden theme I had for the map. The "glass factories" are covers for the crystal mining/ processing operation. The crystals are used as a power source for what I've been calling "doomsday devices" above the final points. The big round objects with crystals sticking out of them.

Gotta lore geek it up with this kind of stuff.

Update!

New fixed version should be out soon!

Hearing some talk about some crashing on the map for certain configs, I think I know what's causing it and I'll be looking into fixing it asap.

I will say though that my direct testing with some of the teams has been really positive. I've had a lot of help in that regard. There's a big shout-out list on my TF2Maps page for them.

It can be very difficult getting people to have a go at map testing and taking it seriously.

Oh, and the other fun part is when they get mad about issues on a map when they never go out of their way to make sure you know about those issues. "Why didn't you fix X issue with this update?"

Uhh, because I didn't know about it?

RC4 is live!

Tried to make last a little less convoluted and more of a straight shot up, while opening the whole thing up a bit more. I also widened the gap at the top of the ramp leading up.

Let me know what you guys think. I'm shooting for a new version here really soon with these changes, want to see how they all play out.

Thanks for the feedback Hyce! I can definitely say I hadn't planed on 6s being played on it much, so I was surprised by the interest in general. It seems to work for some people, but others such as yourself see some pretty glaring issues. I think I'm just going to keep it Highlander/ Pub focused for now. I'll still take your feedback into consideration for the future, though!

And thanks for posting that, Fanta! I just haven't had much time to make my usual rounds lately!

Here's some WIP (mostly visual) changes I've been working on lately:

Compare this last one to this, which I haven't changed over yet.

Awesome to hear! As I'm not rostered I couldn't see that. Hope everyone gives the map a shot! My biggest concern is it not having been exposed to enough players yet so they won't want to vote for it compared to some of the others that may be on the list.

I tried to find a place to submit it to the ESEA but had trouble with it. Anyone who is apart of it and/ or knows a person to contact about that sort of thing would help me out a ton!

A map getting around is really up to the players. If you're stoked about the map and want to see it in a league, talk to the league!

Some of UGC Platinum Winners .knd recently played a PUG game with others on this. It went really well and I got a bunch of ideas for minor changes for the next version from it. Watch the whole thing here.

I also recreated my fly-through video for the most recent version, which you can watch here.

Video changelog for RC3

Release Candidate 3 is out!

I think this update is going to be really beneficial to 6s play, but keep the map solid for Highlander. I'm really excited to see how the changes affect things. Let me know what you guys think!

Hey guys, hoping to get some feedback on an idea I have for the tunnel leading to the basement. I think this could help that area out a ton, but I'd like to get some more competitive minds on the idea before I commit. I might be missing something this is changing, but I can't say I've heard of anyone being that attached to the current tunnel, so I think it'll be a net positive. I believe it should clean things up a bit for 6s, as well.
