I like the new lobby! The parkours are different, but the Medium one holds the same problem as the one in the Fyre UK lobby. It's too long and too easy. That's the problem with many parkours I find, you can get most of the way through and then your sprint will mess up because you lagged or your keyboard glitch or something, and you are forced to start all the way back at the beginning...

Also, the chat colours are a bit confusing. The specs and tributes that aren't donor/staff/VIP have the same green coloured names, which makes it confusing when someone leaves and joins the server.

Apparently it's a lot laggier, however I haven't experienced much unusual lag anywhere except the lobby.

A Pro and a Con is the lobby time is shorter. It's a pro because it's faster to join a game, and will reduce much forum spam, but a con is also that it's too quick. I often try to go on the forums in the few minutes of lobby time, and I'll get distracted by a post which takes a minute or two longer than the usual, and then I will be dead when I remember I was in a MCSG lobby. Before I always managed to make it back before the lobby was over too.. It's just a bit confusing right now, but I'm sure I will get used to it eventually. It's pretty much the same with the 30 second pre-game too.

I haven't experienced a sponsorship yet, so I don't really have any full opinions on that. I expect though, like many people have said, that the potions will be somewhat overpowered for what seems to be their cheap prices.

There are now 5 maps that go in the voting system, which I don't really care about because it just adds more choice which I think can't be bad.

You also can't vote and skip in the same set of maps, which I definitely do not like. I liked being able to vote for the map I wanted just in case it wasn't able to be skipped, or skipping just in case the map I wanted wasn't going to get picked. Now that privilege is gone. However, they have reduced the amount of skips needed to skip the maps to 8, which makes it easier to skip if that's what you want the most.

Not being able to play the previous 2 maps that were played on that server is quite amazing in my opinion. I only ended up playing SG4 once today, and I don't remember playing Breeze. I got to play a good variety of maps which is quite nice for a change!

I haven't been able to play any of the new maps except Asia Games, which I'm no fan of because the chests were quite rare except the 1 hotspot that I managed to find. I was in a village to start, and couldn't find a single chest in any in of any house. There was this one house with a hard parkour which was my death, which I think was a bit unfair because from what I know there would have been only 1 chest at the end which is an unworthy prize whether it's tier 1, tier 2 or tier 3. Before I died though, I explored this little mountain range with these weird fountain areas with a chest in the middle of each of them. Since they randomized whether the chests are tier 2 or tier 1 (At least it seems like it), a lot of the chests were tier 2 of the roughly 10 chests that were there, which is quite over powered in my opinion.

I think that's everything in the new update, it's not quite a Pros and Cons list, but I managed to make a G33ke post in Last Reply Wins, which is quite an accomplishment :p Even though normally G33ke posts are an essay on a single more specific subject, I still consider this to be close enough :p
