The Rugged Land - Survival Games WIP

[Hystericallify]

Hello, I've recently had the chance to explore The Rugged Land, heres what I thought about it.

First, the corn reminds me of of a hybrid between Breeze and SG3, which is a good thing since both are amazing corns. I sould say its more like three, which takes place in a hole in the middle of a giant mountain. However, this takes place in a huge crater in the ground, but still retains the few exits idea SG3 had.

The map itself is sort of like a mountionus map with few building/places of intrest. Of course, one may instantly think of Hungry Hills when I describe it like that, because, well, it is simular to hungry hills. However, the mountains aren't as huge as Hungry Hills, but yet they still look pretty impressive. This also brings up a flaw of this map. There are several spheres in the map that are obiously world edited in. I was assured that this would be fixed before release, and I hope it will.

Their are some structures in this map. Their isn't very many of them, and they are kind of generic, but they are diffrent enough that you can tell them apart. But building wise, where this map really shines is the boats. Their is two of them, a ship wrecked underneath a lake, and a Viking ship that has two tier one chests and a tier two in in. These boats are so amazing looking, I can forsee many intimidations of them. And one final note, the chests are very well placed in this map. The tier one chests are kind of easy to find, but the tier two chests are harder to find, but when you find them, its very rewarding.

Over all, on Nilsy's Three point scale, this map earns.......... A 2.7
Plus

• Looks impresive
• Chests well placed
• Corn is amazing

Cons

• World edit spheres
• Most structures arn't that impressive.

Very well, hobo, very well.

MCSG's first constructive criticism.

Here's what I think about the map:
As what Daalexantor said, the cornucopia itself is a direct hybrid of SG3 and Breeze's. But still retains the tunnels SG3 has. I see that you could also escape by climbing. However, who would waste a minute just to climb when you can directly run through? You should have a reason on why to climb up there, like the tunnel has traps.
Secondly, does this have any complicated redstone? If it isn't, then the dedication to the map is just isn't enough.
Thirdly, the amount of obvious WE spheres is, well, too obvious. You might want to do some smoothing on the spheres.
Out of the common scale of 10, I'd give this an 8.
Advantages :

• Big map, but is actually small, therefore giving a false security
• Not too extremely mountainous
• No ocean (oceans = bad)

Disadvantages :

• Significant lack of structures
• Obvious WE spheres

Finaly! people who are specific on what they like and dont like!
Now we can build on EVERY SINGLE THING that you dont like.
I wish there where more people like this.

Thanks for the feedback guys. Keep it coming and please outline the bits you do not like, So we can work on it

 

[zukodark]

Zuko you said it was spawn just because hobo did not like you're map doesn't mean you have to hate on ours

My map is a 0.2% and I havent posted it here yet. How is that possible?

Totally off-topic, but. Just left the thread and gets a notification that zuko posted :/

 

[zukodark]

When I saw the album with some regular texture pics, the terrain looked better. But I still dont like the strucures :/

 

[Tinyoneo]

What is that texture pack? I would like to try it. Also it's a bit dark like the corn in map 3. Im not a fan of it being all dark. Like in Breeze island it's all light. But since that is your main theme than I'm not sure if it could be arranged differently.

Unfortently, Hobo, I'm going to have to take a whole point off your map because I suspect that some new accounts were made just to upvote your map. ExciteFame and CrafterXxx both look suspiously like they may just be adds for your map. They both only have posts on their status and in the Community map sugestion thread about only one map. Your map. Theirfor, I'm taking one point off of my review.

2.7 to 1.7

And to anyone else out their who makes fake accounts just to up vote maps, I'll find you. And I'll tell the world.

Forget this, it was just a misunderstanding. He just meet them in a diffrent game.

1.7 to 2.7

 

[ejegun]

I am going to do my best getting away the speres and make it look natural, also I will be providing some High res screenshots and maybe a video of the map.

Okay first of all, I don't know really anything about this map, so I won't give an opinion. Second, Kharmunran or however you spell it is pretty good in my opinion, not the most detailed structures but that doesn't mean its bad. In fact, I had a lot of time playing on it during beta testing. But anyway, what I was gonna say is that "voting" for a map on the thread chad posted won't help its chances of getting in, it will only help it's chances of getting tested by Chad. It's not about how many people tell them to use it, it's about how well made the map is. So yeah, end of rant. Have a good day all.
