Scrimmage Maps, we need a change.

[darkai202]

I'm sorry was this retorical or serious because I couldn't tell.

It was sarcasm, learning a map doesn't take too much time, it's not really that hard. xD

 

[SimonGidley]

This looks cool

They are going to be adding new maps very soon, and many of these maps seem like very logical picks, we can hope xD

I hope you know that a big part of determining a scrim map is based on the tiering these maps look sick but wouldnt be a good scrim map unless the tiering is good.

 

[iancool]

My point still stands. When the re-tiering happened it ruined way to many maps. Go back to the old tiering and this will not be an issue anymore. Like I said, who outside of clans gives you feedback on maps and such? No one, because they don't really care. They are having a few games of fun, whether they are skilled or not. The map staff team needs to start listening to the community, or the servers will continue to go downhill, as they have been for quite a while now.

Or they will pick maps like destinys shiver again... What goes through those peoples minds? What goes into them making a decision on a map? Here is what I picture how they do it.
"Woah. A flower. It is red. We pick this map."

Especially if you have a whole clan to figure it out...

Ok, so what I have analyzed out of all of the posts of this thread is that people would want the old tiering back so more maps would be played for scrimmages. This thread was stating that, we need new scrimmage maps. I understand the old tiering of maps would still make scrimmages more fun than they are now. But have you still thought of what I was stating in the thread? The current maps are amazing to scrim on and have always been, and probably were better back before the chest update, but what I am trying to get to here is that maybe if the chest update didn't happen, we would still get sick of them after a long time of playing 5-7 maps total in rotation.

I also noticed that some people mentioned that the maps that I mentioned on this thread look amazing for scrimming but would need good tiering for them to be balanced for PvP. I completely agree with that and I think this time, the staff should take our word as we are the more competitive side of the community.

Also, iancool 's post about the minority population of the server being the more social, competitive, and server-motivating side of the community and I think that is what staff should really go over.. Most of us play this more often and we are basically regulars on this server. Like Ian mentioned was the fact that someone named eugene_13f234 could play on the server 32 times and never play again. That is showing that he doesn't like Survival Games, or he just got bored. But, out of it all, once again out of Ian's post, 80% basically is people that play the server maybe 2 times and never bother to enter it again. We play on this daily and should have more power to help make decisions by being listened to by staff so the more things that happen will make the whole community happy.

So far the votes on the poll are:

Option 1: 22 Votes // 47.8%
Option 2: 19 Votes // 41.3%
Option 3: 5 Votes // 10.9%

Maybe for scrims, we could test out some other maps for a change. For example, Chernobyl, Icarus, and more scrims on Alaskan!

Not to be rude, and Tuct | Palkian I really do like his idea, ass I have always been one to push this idea of more battle/scrim maps, most maps need re-tiering, the main thing is, there's just not enough sufficient maps, I mean, were stuck playing the basic, holiday, Valleyside, tsg2, and highway, as well as sg4, but I mean mcsg seriously why do we have maps like Remnant or team elites map (the name has slipped me) but seriously there are so many maps that are just more enjoyable than those, they don't even have to be just for scrims, I can find maps that most people would rather play than some I have listed, seriously mcsg map committee needs to make better decisions, I know I wouldn't do any better because I understand how hard it is, but these maps are just getting boring, part of the reason I quit, nothing new was happening, if I like the new maps,'I'll be back although I don't really matter mcsg NEEDS new maps

Me and a friend of mine by the name of RTGxxKaos were thinking...

What if we changed up the scrimmage maps a little?

Has anyone here noticed that the same old 5 maps (Valleyside, SG4, TSG2, Holiday Resort, and Survival Games Highway) are getting a bit repetitive? RTG and I have been asking this question to ourselves multiple times and have wondered why there has been no change for almost 8 months now. We think that there should be some diversification in the scrimmage maps and we think it should happen soon.

Now don't take me wrong here.. I am not trying to state that the current scrimmage maps are bad, ugly, horrible maps.. They are probably some of the best maps I have ever witnessed/played on. I just feel that after about 3/4 of a year, we should update our roster of scrimmage maps and roll on to something brand new. At the time of this post being typed, we don't know the new maps being added to the list. But as far as we can see, here are some maps that look exceptional for the approaching map changes:

"Construct" made by Bsrkr

"Turbulence" made by cadbane4321

*We were confused about the separate threads about the "Turbulence 2" versions, so we decided to put the original version*

"Zone 85" made by SuperxAndrew
http://www.minecraftsurvivalgames.com/threads/zone-85.91781/​

Keep in mind, these are some of the maps that we took a look at and instantly thought of how scrimmages could work on them. We realized that they looked thoroughly good for pvp and how people could use land and structures to their advantage. There are lots of other maps that may have good potential at the scrimmage map rotation, but these few caught our eye. If you have any suggestions, please put reply with them. Please no flame, this thread is just for discussing new scrimmage maps that could possibly happen.

I also put a voting box so you could vote on certain decisions you feel are right. This thread is in no way meant to cause any hate to the mapmakers of other beautiful maps, this is just simply an opinion and how change has a chance at happening.

BTW, Obviously these maps have not been added. But the maps that may or may not be added out of this list are definitely some maps that should be used for scrimmages.​

New maps or boycott/riot!!!! Who's with me?!
