Looks incredibly interesting. I'll have to take a run around it sometime and give my thoughts!

quick update. no big changes yet - just wanted to fix some bugs

changelog:
- fixed dynamic player shadows showing through certain walls
- fixed weapon models showing through certain walls

God bless you Sideshow. Just watched the whole thing and took tons of notes. You brought up SO many issues with the map that nobody has ever tangibly talked to me about before at this depth, and that I only vaguely knew existed (and really didn't have any tangible idea of how to fix until now).

If any players, especially other invite and prem players, want to comment on Sideshow's video - I'd be very glad if you could do it here! What you agree with, what you don't, etc.

I think I will have some "test" versions out sometime soon, just for people to play on and see how things work. Going to be a little while until I have made all the fixes, but I'll try to bring out a finished product (or at least test versions) during the etf2l/esea seasons.

Hi! Phi here. Been working diligently off of the feedback I have gathered so far.

If you're a prem player in ETF2L, I'd be glad if you could add me and send me your thoughts real quick on the following topics:
- pushing out of last into second
- pushing from second into mid

as these are, so far, the hardest things to address for me within the map. Been receiving a lot of contradictory feedback on these so I would like to widen the pool of data I have to work off of.

If you know a prem player in ETF2L that'd be ok with giving me a few sentences, preferably suggestions of what they'd change, that'd be great.

I have a test compile of rc10 with various changes I will hand out to all prem players who add me as well. Thanks for the support and feedback.

Hi,

Are you referring to the black metal and concrete trims around the map? Compare your results with the colors you see in the screenshots - taken in normal dx settings - are those the only ones that are black? Those textures are recolored stock ones with the $color value, they may show up darker on dxlevel 81 than on default dxlevels. If there are any other textures that show up complete black, please let me know. I'll work on finding a $color value for the black trims that won't appear so dark in dxlevel 81.

That is feedback that I am aware of but thankful someone actually put it into tangible words. I am actively working on making the map play better but with its recent departure from ETF2L and radio silence from Valve the next update will take some time.

I am taking it into my hands to make last pushes, and last holds, better for the attacking team. Most of what I could gather consists of the map having a last that is somewhat stalematey and hard to push. I am going to address that with the next update, planned to be out before next season's end so it can be considered for voting back in.

Please give feedback to Reckoner in its thread instead of doing whatever sort of shittalking people tend to like to do in casts, streams, etc. I've seen so much of that, it's nearly prevented me from watching streams of my own maps because I've heard casters just front-and-center say the map is shit. What do you think that makes people watching the stream think? What type of mob mentality do you think that creates? None of that can improve the map unless you actually leave feedback in its thread. I don't want the map being voted in just to get trash talked and voted out without any feedback.

Also, please leave feedback for Sunshine, too. People voted it out and I still don't have any new feedback (especially from euros) in its thread. I vaguely know what's wrong but nothing has been written down for me. I would really like to improve it to the point where it can be voted back in again.

I'm not done Sunshine's development, it's just slowed down a little while I wait for Valve to contact me on whether or not it's being considered for actually being included in official MM or not, and whether or not people are actually going to give me tangible feedback for it.

Plenty of people don't have them removed, but plenty of people do due to numerous health reasons. Impacted teeth, no space, infections, jaw pain, lots of things. Get an x-ray done by your dentist and they'll tell you if you need to have them removed or not.

Mine were impacted, shifting the teeth in my jaw, and were causing me pain.

Got mine out four months ago. Went under completely, woke up, went home - I wasn't delirious at all, I can fully remember everything that happened afterwards and I was completely under control. The pain was horrible the first two days, even with the painkiller, but it was manageable. Everything heals completely in a few weeks. DON'T CREATE SUCTION WITH YOUR MOUTH.

Follow the directions of your doctor to the T and you should be good. I had 0 complications and I did everything I was told for about a month.

it's too bad the only possibility for reckoner is voting out sunshine

this is probably completely bias talking but i'd really have liked to see other maps get the voting out treatment like granary or something. but. ignore me because i am the creator of sunshine/reckoner and my opinion doesn't mean nearly as much as people who play on them in the season.

best of luck to everyone, no matter the maps.

Thank you Jarrett for the excellent feedback.

Fastlane, Foundry, Freight, and Obscure in the map pool but no Sunshine? :(

What's wrong with Sunshine?

Expect a new version of Reckoner to come out before the Grand Finals of s21, with lots of good changes. It may or may not be ready for an ESEA launch, but that's up to the players and their feedback.

And the admins who may or may not add it in a map vote. We'll see.

entertaining match, but when you goof off like that you're pretty much accepting you lost. ah well, at least they had fun with it I hope :p
