Excavation Zero

Post pics without shaders and using default texture pack?

We already used the default texture pack, but yeah, we'll post some non-shader pics soon.

This is stunning and it gives off a futuristic vibe which I love in a map

Thanks so much!

I didn't want to post a negative review here, but as I was apparantly "rude" for not wanting to, here it is.

Personally I love the concept of this map. It's a really cool idea and with the right execution, would be an amazing map.

I feel though the execution isn't all there. Lets start with the corn. This shows how I generally feel about the whole map, huge epic structures are used to mask a generally lacking map. I think the drill looks very good and is very creative. But the corn is a pit trap and is hard to get out of, this makes it hellish in deathmatch, especially if you are against a team as there isn't much you can do. Also I think the materials used aren't the best, the mix of colours give off a kind of bland look which doesn't really do it for me.

I feel there are too few structures on the map, I would have preferred maybe some more excavation equipment closer to corn such as like trucks to move the excess material mined or something? I just think the area's of forest between the structures is a bit lacking for gameplay and not very interesting to play on.

I think the structures are generally low quality. They all look very monotonal and plain in my opinion. I would have preferred maybe some colour interlaced into the grey structures, and maybe some different tones like blacks and whites? Also I am not keen with the whole mycelium/obsidian thing. I am guessing it is showing corruption? but I feel it could have been executed in a better way.

And then there are the underground sections. It is just a mess of netherack and glowstone. This section could have been great as stone caves with exposed ore's etc. but instead it was rather dissappointing.

With the gameplay of the map, I feel it is relatively good but is let down by the very enclosed cornucopia. For me at its current state I would not like this map to be added. 5.5/10

To improve the map, I suggest changing the cornucopia, maybe lifting up the corn so it is less of a pit and will be easier to get out of. Add more structures and make the current structures more detailed. I also suggest changing the ground materials chosen, especially with the new stained clay blocks that have been added. Also redo the underground section, more natural looking caves would look a lot better.

Aswell I suggest you seriously reconsider your attitudes. Throughout this thread you have been hounding anyone who decides to put a negative opinion @ShadowMasterZ and the posts on my profile by @Aktikon are out of line and just make you guys look bad.

I think this is out of line... I haven't hounded anyone and I've been really positive on your map thread. I feel like you posted this negative review because you want to elevate your map above others, and you wanted to hurt us. I have had no attitude, and Aktikon only said that you were being kind of rude. You shouldn't drop to such petty behavior, especially after I was nice about yours when I could have posted a bunch of negative things.

To be fair I don't think that his review is wrong he has pointed out the key faults and he is right have given it the score he did.

The point is intent. He didn't do it so that we would make improvements, he did it maliciously. That hurts that you only think our map is 5.5/10 though </3

That doesn't really make sense. Why should his opinion change just because you like his map?

His opinion didn't change, he didn't like our map so aktikon asked him why and he was extremely rude about it.

Ok so I'm going to step in here and say everyone is entitled to their own opinion, as for elevating his map above others? Preposterous. That in itself is a rather "rude" thing to say. Ninetailes' done what most map makers would love more people to do.... give constructive criticism. Move on and improve your map from it.

tbh I don't see why you brought up my map? as that is nothing to do with what we were talking about, if anything it seems like you were trying to get my favour by being nice to me? saying I wanted to hurt you makes no sense, since I didn't want to post the review due to my negative opinion towards the map? and posted it because aktikon chased me up on it? petty behaviour? it seems like you two are trying to make me look bad.. and its a poor attempt, especially why would I need to elevate my map above others? if its bad its bad? and I will just make another map...

in regards to "he did it maliciously" I clearly didn't I gave you area's in which you could improve the map.. if you put some work in it could easily be accepted..

 

[EvermoreHD]

We already used the default texture pack, but yeah, we'll post some non-shader pics soon.

So, when will the non-shader pics be posted?

How in the world am I trying to make you look bad? Trying to get your favor? I've been putting up with the insane crap you've been sputtering and trying to be nice until now. Shut up. People might hate on me for saying this but just shut up.

So, when will the non-shader pics be posted?

We'll probably be removing this thread. Thanks.
