Not being racist but... that doesn't look too good in my eyes. There's a lot of water and water happens to be something most players... dislike? Too much water is never a good idea. The plane lacks details and while I do know that this game isn't the most realistic game there is, how in the world would those few vines be able to keep that plane above the ground? Those are the little things that matter, at least in the eyes of someone who is observant.

The trees look magnificent, though.

I, the builder of spawn and some of the island, I thought the plane wasn't detailed enough and that it didn't look like it was being held up too, still putting more detail in the plain and trying to find places on the mountain to attache to the plain, only one side of the map will have a decent amount of water and we are going to have a lot of islands, plane wrecks, ship wrecks and under water misteries :) thank you for your constructive criticism, i like it :D <3

My one big pet peeve with this map is the plane.
It's pointing straight downwards. Planes don't crash like that. o_o And when they do crash, they generally fall into pieces, with the wings coming apart, the nose being crushed, windows shattering. Sometimes if it lands at a weird angle, the entire plane gets bent.

As stated by boboy1999, I thought there was no land? All water?
The concept of a "Mysterious no-man's land" is quite good, but the Bermuda Triangle just doesn't seem to work with it, because of the amounts of water. We already have a Breeze Island (And BI2), where there's plenty of water with a tropical theme, as well as the newer map, Winds of Change.

The cornucopia, while fairly flat and decent for PvP, is a deathtrap. There's two, maybe three, ways out of the cornucopia, through tunnels. In Winds of Change and another map that I can't remember, there are tunnels, but there is a large number of them and a decent way out.
There's bound to be a bloodbath at Cornucopia, and then the rest of the game will be spent floating through water, trying to find the other players?

The resource pack used, while maintaining a decently regular look, makes it hard for me to fully examine what's in the map. It looks like the resource pack has increased brightness in some places, and the leaves stand out painfully, sort of like a neon light in a dark alley. Would it be possible for default screenshots to be uploaded?

The waterfall is also a bit confusing.
It comes from within a small hill... where would the water be coming from? Unless there's a heat source underground such as a volcano waiting to erupt, the water would probably not be able to come up that far.
(then again, this is Minecraft, so it doesn't really matter.)



However, enough of me picking on the bad parts. There are definitely positive parts.
It's only 10% complete, according to the title. If this is 10%, then I hope to see much more when the map is complete. :)
Thank you <3 the plane crashed through trees and a storm and the tree's and vines kinda made it fall into that big open... thing into cornucopia, the front of the cockpit has broken off, half of a wing has and I am still trying to add more details and little ruined parts, i also still have to do the interior, don't worry, not too much of the map will be water, not much at all and where there is water there are going to be boat crashes, sinked boats, underwater secrets and more c: the waterfall kinda came from a rain forest on top of the mountain, there are trees up there now, we will try to update screenshots more often, its like a very tropical wet rain forest up top like the rain forests of my country, new zealand, lots of mushrooms, ferns, bright flowers, lily pads, so thats where the water comes from, rain, trees, pond. also we have a few survivors hide outs on waterfall island and the main island is gonna take up most of the map, not water :) thank you for your feedback <3

I like it but isnt the bermuda triangle just water not an island. I thought it was an imaginary triangle in the middle of the ocean where planes/ships disappear.

As I stated in the thread it's only 10% done and we are going to not have that much water, mainly islands. We're making new tunnels for the spawn swell and probably having them bigger than the other ones. The final design is not yet finished though as it is only 10% done. We will be fixing the plane soon and I will get some default screenshots. Thanks for your feedback guys!

Before I viewed the thread, I was thinking "Crashed planes crashed planes crashed planes!". And you didn't fail to show it, so far the whole map looks fantastic, and in the end, I hope it gets accepted as an MCSG map! :)
Looks good. If you really want to capture the essence of the Bermuda Triangle, research into real events surrounding the area, and build them in. Maybe Flight 19, the Great Isaac Lighthouse, USS Cyclops etc are all great landmarks and building opportunities. I myself have spent hours pondering the areas great mystery and supernatural occurrences while sipping on a glass of whisky in my mahogany library....
Thanks for the feedback! krackan i'll try doing that soon. That would make the map look a lot better.

Looks nice for 10% :D

I just hope there's not a lot of water because bow spam.

*cough cough* every water map ever.

Yeah, we mainly put that water there for the screenshots xD. We will be filling it with little islands parkours shipwrecks and plane crashes. Thanks for the feedback!

there will be more land than water and where there is water, there will be ships, plains, ruins, secrets and stuff :D the main island will be much bigger and there will be about 3 to 5 more islands

I do like it, I just feel as though it looks a bit too much like the popular map "Winds of Change" in a few spots.

Of course, it's only 10% done. Hope you can improve upon that and make sure to keep it unique, I'd love to see this on MCSG if the quality of this map continues :)
