pretty cool parts, but tele is way too scarce on the unfaily parts and some platforms are too small

louis 04/04/2021 5:55 AM
louis 04/04/2021 5:55 AM

like this

louis 04/04/2021 5:56 AM
louis 04/04/2021 5:57 AM

teles like this arent good, imagine you're on the last part and fall to kill border cause u were one pixel off tele

louis 04/04/2021 5:58 AM

also idk abt this part, u can get killed on the killedge

louis 04/04/2021 5:59 AM

id just make it normal freeze edge since its the same part with or without it

Starkiller 04/04/2021 10:42 AM

looks like u dont understand the part. platforms arent too small. u have enough space for everything. also tele are enough at every spot. u will never fail it. dont know u tested the tele parts very well but everyone who tested it before agreed with me

louis 04/05/2021 4:28 PM

still applies then

louis 04/05/2021 4:29 PM

if u fall into tele and ur still holding a key u will fall off the 1 tile platform easily

Starkiller 04/05/2021 4:29 PM

are u talkin about tele 1?

louis 04/05/2021 4:30 PM

ye

louis 04/05/2021 4:30 PM

just make the thing freeze edge

louis 04/05/2021 4:30 PM

idc if u dont want to change tele but u can fail there on killedge

louis 04/05/2021 4:31 PM

idc much about the 1 tile platform either since u can dj if u have good reaction but it was just annoying for me

Starkiller 04/05/2021 4:31 PM

removing this kill is hurting me so much

louis 04/05/2021 7:38 PM

havent done a full test so idk yet but ill check later

Starkiller 04/05/2021 7:38 PM

ok

ᶰ°Konͧsti 04/06/2021 2:35 AM

crazy design xd

ᶰ°Konͧsti 04/06/2021 2:35 AM

if Starkiller continues that we gonna need an insane category for solo

louis 04/22/2021 1:36 PM

hi, small update

louis 04/22/2021 1:37 PM

we had some internal testing talks after exanimus was released and decided we wanted to balance the number of "insane" solo/dummy maps that are being released

louis 04/22/2021 1:37 PM

and since this map is one of those insane solo/dummies, i'm not sure exactly what to do with it

louis 04/22/2021 1:39 PM

we haven't really decided on a rule yet but imo readying and releasing this rn would lead to too many recent 5* faily+hard solo maps (memoria, exanimus, then this)

louis 04/22/2021 1:39 PM

and its better to have only a few 5* releases and in between many more "normal" difficulty maps to benefit the overall playerbase

louis 04/22/2021 1:40 PM

so like i'm said i'm not sure how to proceed with this map. if it was made a lot less faily then it would probably be released soon, but otherwise you might have to wait a long long time until it gets released (to make room for other difficulty solos)

Starkiller 04/22/2021 1:42 PM

i dont have any problem to wait a few months or how long it will take to rls the map. im just happy if it get rls. so let u time with the rls date

louis 04/22/2021 1:44 PM

okay. just a warning that's not the "official" tester decision and other testers might want u to change the difficulty, but that's just a solution i'd vouch for - to keep the map on "hold" until the other super-faily maps like exanimus get some more finishes

Starkiller 04/22/2021 1:46 PM

okay. ty. so ill just wait for more feedback then

Ravie 05/19/2021 3:03 PM

Testing team has decided this map is too faily to release, and we don't think it's fixable in a clean way. Just some advice regarding most of your maps: I think your parts are more than hard enough as is, so there's no need to make them overly precise or 1 try, doing so is just forced difficulty which is bad mapping. If you would just focus on making something that is actually enjoyable to play rather than an excruciating challenge for the best of the best, it could lead to some really cool maps for high skill players.

Ravie 05/19/2021 3:03 PM

$decline

Starkiller 05/19/2021 3:03 PM

are u kidding me? the map is full with tele

Starkiller 05/19/2021 3:03 PM

everyone who tested the map liked it

Starkiller 05/19/2021 3:04 PM

this is actually a rlly nice challenge for high skill players

Starkiller 05/19/2021 3:04 PM

u are just a fucking bastard that declines my maps cuz u dont like me

Starkiller 05/19/2021 3:05 PM

im done with testing section

Starkiller 05/19/2021 3:06 PM

everyone who tested this agreed with me its a good map

murpi 05/19/2021 3:07 PM
@Starkiller

calm down please

Starkiller 05/19/2021 3:07 PM

no

murpi 05/19/2021 3:07 PM
Starkiller 05/19/2021 3:07 PM

its just fucking unfair

Starkiller 05/19/2021 3:07 PM

my maps get declined with no reason

Starkiller 05/19/2021 3:07 PM

get a fucking another testing leader

Starkiller 05/19/2021 3:07 PM

everyone liked the map while testing

Starkiller 05/19/2021 3:07 PM

and only cuz ravie doesnt likes me the map gets declined

Starkiller 05/19/2021 3:07 PM

go murphi test the map by yourself. ull see theres no reason for decline

Starkiller 05/19/2021 3:08 PM

the map has fair placed tele, is balanced and still a challenge with good parts

Starkiller 05/19/2021 3:08 PM

and everyone who tested the map agreed with me

Ronan 05/19/2021 3:15 PM

imagine disrespecting ravie like dat

Ronan 05/19/2021 3:17 PM

sadly theyre not testers

murpi 05/19/2021 3:23 PM

I don't think im good enough to really clear your solo maps. I did enjoy your dummy map though

murpi 05/19/2021 3:25 PM

Starkiller, your solo maps are way to difficult to finish. As an example, only 3 people actually legitimately managed to finish your Memoria map which was released almost a year ago. I have to agree with the Testers here unfortunately :/

murpi 05/19/2021 3:49 PM
@Starkiller

small note from my side: If you make your parts to overly complex, the player wont be able to even understund how any of your parts work. The parts are super fun once you figure them out, but the process of figuring them out is way to punishing. This seems to be a general issue in your solo map. Without any guidance, people will most likely drop this map and are never going to attempt to finish it. If you do attempt to fix this map or create a new map based on this, try to empathize with the player.

Starkiller 05/19/2021 3:50 PM

the first good feedback in this channel

Starkiller 05/19/2021 3:50 PM

holy shit i didnt know its possible for anyone to give good feedback

Stab' 05/19/2021 4:40 PM

Starkiller maps look fun as fuck theyre just dummy hard

Im 'corneum 05/19/2021 5:28 PM

yeah the parts are always good but the whole challenge thing really looses its thrill after a few maps. especially on solo which is pretty dead

perrodecerro 05/20/2021 3:58 AM

the reason is too stupid to decline it, it is true that the map is full of tele, unfortunately it has been known for a long time that ddnet staff (mafia) do what they want and what they like, in this case the only reason to decline the map is that the mafia dont like starkiller and his maps, this map is easier and not that faily like memento mori, exanimus and memoria, its so unfair to decline this because is """""faily"""""

perrodecerro 05/20/2021 3:59 AM

if any player wants to finish the map he can test it, its not so difficult to use your brain and understand how a map of this difficulty works. its good that people have to think and find how each part works because its a insane/solo map

murpi 05/20/2021 8:58 AM

kenzo?

Bloodbath 05/20/2021 10:20 AM

this is so true xd

LCSG47 05/20/2021 10:29 AM
