currently 2am xd sorry brain not working

that hookthrough not necessary I guess,not a big problem

TearlessAbyss46 02/28/2021 12:14 AM

didnt have any problem with gameplay except 50% of map is waiting for unfreezes

louis 02/28/2021 12:16 AM

f3 put 1 tile hole in freeze lines so u can skip 3s

TearlessAbyss46 02/28/2021 12:21 AM

the design of this map makes me want to play fancy pants adventures again ngl xd

Starkiller 02/28/2021 2:05 AM

i dont get your problem with waiting for unfreeze. there are only a minimum of 30 spots for waiting for unfreeze. so u only waste 1 min 30 sec in 1 run for it. thats high quality gameplay in my opinion

Ravie 02/28/2021 9:04 AM

muh 12 seconds

174 02/28/2021 9:17 AM

map has brain parts so waiting a bit longer can be helpful. it also awards the player to use more brain, as jumping through a freeze only to go back through it after realising the part works differently punishes the player. when everything is full of unfreeze it's fast play and people just rush through it. also the design wouldn't really work with unfreeze, as it should mark the unfreeze (on a sketched map) and that would add a lot more tiles to the design and removing the cleanness / simpleness. and in the end missing unfreeze is only a slight inconvenience to speedrunners, and they shouldn't be the targeted audience.

Ravie 02/28/2021 9:24 AM

I didn't make this map with any flow/speed in mind so adding speedrun features doesn't fit

Im 'corneum 02/28/2021 9:39 AM

Maybe just use 2sec freeze

Ravie 02/28/2021 9:42 AM

has normal freeze become taboo or what?

Im 'corneum 02/28/2021 9:47 AM

Idk but 1 sec less at least can't hurt. I haven't seen the map yet tho

Knuski 02/28/2021 10:00 AM

really nice map and the freeze times arent that bad but this is a novice imo

174 03/03/2021 4:30 PM

I played it again and focusing on the time waiting for freeze is quite longer than I first thought, I counted about 30 times just waiting for one player to unfreeze, so 90 seconds. I think unfreeze is still wrong, but if you add

in the server settings you don't need to change a tile. since the community is very split on this topic this could be a good compromise for all

Ravie 03/03/2021 5:38 PM

2 sec freeze is a non-default setting so sorry but no

louis 03/03/2021 5:44 PM

unfreeze is good, ppl enjoy speedrunning moderate maps for fun and they don't want to be playing aled III when doing so

louis 03/03/2021 5:44 PM

unfreeze is better than 2s freeze tho since modified freeze duration should only be used in some cases or on im corneum parts

louis 03/03/2021 5:44 PM

its not required to add unfreeze ofc but it makes ur map so bad to speedrun with no flow

Ravie 03/03/2021 5:45 PM

it's not a flow map so I won't even try to make it one

louis 03/03/2021 5:46 PM

its basically the same as not putting unfreeze in toteles but oh well

Ravie 03/03/2021 5:48 PM

no because in teles you wait to try the part again, here after unfreezing you always progress so it's not annoying

174 03/03/2021 6:02 PM

if you really want this than it's your choice. I don't mind too much as I see both arguments, but as you know the intention with this map it's your decision.

174 03/03/2021 6:05 PM

$ready 1

Soapy Sandwich 03/03/2021 7:28 PM

Map was painfully slow to run without unfreeze. I think you should reconsidered shortening freeze duration or adding unfreeze. Also this map feels more novice than moderate to me

Kenzoo 03/03/2021 8:55 PM

Animefan 03/03/2021 9:21 PM

maybe ravie is into bdsm

Ama 03/03/2021 10:35 PM

should definitly be declined because of not adding unfreeze

louis 03/03/2021 11:26 PM

wtf is mapper choice

174 03/03/2021 11:56 PM

he intended the map in a certain way and his decision to not alter the gameplay is that choice. I think it's bit sad an how everyone only talked about unfreeze and novice rating so far, it's actually a very clever map with good gameplay and great design. only complains and against his intent I saw so far, hence I didn't feel like forcing Ravie to change especially after he repeatedly said he doesn't want to change. I also see his reasons and besides that can respect his decision. but if you feel he has to change something for sure, that his decision will cause harm or is against our testing than reset it and force that.

TearlessAbyss46 03/04/2021 12:03 AM

damn if only we could still see Iris testing channel and show how Ravie butchered that map for the tiniest changes

174 03/04/2021 12:19 AM

https://ddnet.tw/testlogs/show/Iris wdym he posted 2 screenshots besides, does it matter? if this is a discussion about justice and what happened in the past than it doesn't belong here. not important who the mapper is, just what the map is. everything important has been said for me so I don't wanna argue here anymore. if a tester thinks the gameplay must be changed I am not against a reset and open for that kind of discussion.

Soapy Sandwich 03/04/2021 12:21 AM
@174

it could be a good map, I just really didn't enjoy it and it was because of the constant waiting around. There did appear to be some interesting parts to the map but I found myself just growing to hate the map the more I played it.

Personally I don't think it should be released the way it is but maybe others enjoy it.

174 03/04/2021 12:26 AM

maybe we should make an internal vote and sort it that way out

174 03/04/2021 12:45 AM

PopCorn181 03/04/2021 1:58 AM

not moderate map

QuiX 03/04/2021 2:50 AM

I see nothing wrong with this map. But there were 3 places where it should have some unfreeze. Overall Ravie, amazing design style + animation really smooth (Love it). It has really nice flow, cool new drags, but in some places it stopped me cause no unfreeze but yeah oh and also this isnt moderate at all. Its 4 - 5 novice, probably 5. GG on the map Ravie, nice work

QuiX 03/04/2021 2:56 AM

This is 2 parts i mentioned, on the top part its a bit annoying to cross left and right and wait like 9 or 12 second (in total) all the time. And the bottom part the noobs that will play this im pretty sure they will fall in there + in team imagine.

QuiX 03/04/2021 2:58 AM

And this is last part i felt like waiting alot. Some unfreeze there would help continue with the flow ^-^ but yh the rest because they are basic drags its ok to wait, helps people take more time to think of what to do and also its a short map so imo its fine (and yh im talking as a novice map bcs thats how it felt like)

Kenzoo 03/04/2021 3:21 AM

add unfreeze

WAV 03/04/2021 3:59 AM

i'd add alot of unfreezes

like here

Ravie 03/04/2021 8:58 AM

idk what's the point in resetting if I already answered the big unfreeze question

Ravie 03/04/2021 8:59 AM

and it's moderate because it's brainy, better players take game mechanics for granted

wsikushka 03/04/2021 9:07 AM

Can confirm as a moderate-novice player, first time playing i failed like thrice because my brain were disabled

QuiX 03/04/2021 10:47 AM

80% of the map is basic drags

Am I interested in any suggestions for improvement? No

wsikushka 03/04/2021 11:33 AM

yes and the 80% of basic drags i have done easily, but there are some confusing parts which a noob player like me will need a to think on it, but i thinked only after i realised that i failed.

wsikushka 03/04/2021 11:33 AM

as for example this xDDD

wsikushka 03/04/2021 11:37 AM

if you curious how dumb i can be then that's how i failed first time, after i did red line i just did jumped on freeze coz im retarded and no brain so i couldn't save myself😎

wsikushka 03/04/2021 11:53 AM

well, on my opinion first-time-play is a moderate map as you have to think and you can fail in some spots, and novice after first attempts as once you understand your mistake you can't really fail again

Ravie 03/04/2021 12:00 PM

I don't see any "basic drags", every part has a concept behind it

QuiX 03/04/2021 12:02 PM

i dont want to send 10 screenshots xDD but there are some parts that u dont need to think of it either because people wont run into the freeze that randomly or the part is really straight forward

Ravie 03/04/2021 12:04 PM

being easy doesn't make them "basic drags"

QuiX 03/04/2021 12:56 PM

isnt basic = easy? or like simple, like it doesnt take to much to think on a part :3

Ravie 03/04/2021 1:01 PM

they may be simple to do but from my perspective there's nothing basic

Lady Saavik 03/04/2021 3:11 PM

don't argue with Testing Leader

Ama 03/04/2021 4:57 PM

there is absolutly no reason to not add unfreeze to not make people wait 3 seconds for no reason

Ravie 03/04/2021 4:58 PM

there is absolutely no reason to add unfreeze*

Ama 03/04/2021 4:58 PM

make people not wait 3 seconds

Ama 03/04/2021 4:58 PM

and not moving at all

Ravie 03/04/2021 4:58 PM

😭 waiting 3 seconds

Ravie 03/04/2021 4:59 PM

it simply doesn't fit this map and makes you think a bit more

Im 'corneum 03/04/2021 5:07 PM

ravie really thinks we need 2 extra minutes to figure out his """brainy""" parts lmao

TearlessAbyss46 03/04/2021 5:08 PM

map is 3mins long with unfreeze,maybe its better if it doesnt have unfreeze to extend map length

Ravie 03/04/2021 5:10 PM

corneum really thinks he's funny lmao

Im 'corneum 03/04/2021 5:11 PM

at least im right

Ravie 03/04/2021 5:12 PM

Ravie 03/04/2021 5:14 PM

Souly 03/04/2021 5:25 PM

when add unfreeze

Starkiller 03/04/2021 5:32 PM

its a ravie map. it will be rlsd as it is now. no matter its shit without unfreeze or not. 99% says add unfreeze and make the map better. so just make it better. it wont change gameplay, unfreeze doesnt make the map easier...it just get better flow and more fun to play. also for speedruns this map is terrible. im pretty sure no speedrunner have fun with this since 50% of gameplay is just waiting. but as i said. its a ravie map and it will be rlsd like it is now

Ravie 03/04/2021 5:37 PM

FanTal1ty 03/05/2021 8:04 PM

nice design! nice "learn to play map". add unfreeze and go for novice 2 star i think

louis 03/05/2021 8:05 PM

well looks like ravie is rly stubborn on not changing unfreeze

louis 03/05/2021 8:05 PM

other than that, i think this map is novice not moderate

louis 03/05/2021 8:05 PM

novice 4/5

louis 03/05/2021 8:06 PM

we should also keep in mind that mainly novice players will be playing this, so they will take longer to think of the correct way for parts

louis 03/05/2021 8:07 PM

in this case the 3 second freeze times may not have such of a large effect on novice players as it does on testers

louis 03/05/2021 8:07 PM

i still think adding unfreeze is better but that's a viewpoint to keep in mind, that it won't be as annoying to players who actually are fit for this map as it is to testers.

FanTal1ty 03/05/2021 8:08 PM

i think glassbox 3 stars or corbas 4 stars are much harder then this map. so 4/5 stars??

FanTal1ty 03/05/2021 8:08 PM

learn how to play map = 2 stars i think

louis 03/05/2021 8:10 PM

yeah but we have a new rating scale for newer novices if u have noticed, easier maps have gotten higher star ratings compared to the past

FanTal1ty 03/05/2021 8:11 PM

ah okay, no dont know.. i mean easy points.. from my side u can do 21 points, but in comparison to other maps its unfair.

QuiX 03/05/2021 8:36 PM

yes this map is 4 - 5 * novice

Ama 03/06/2021 1:08 PM

Yes i would also add it to novice

Ama 03/06/2021 1:08 PM

ofc not adding unfreeze is a bad thing to do if everyone thinks its better with unfreeze, but this map is still releasable without unfreeze, and theres no requirement that maps must have unfreeze etc. so it's up to mapper choice
