New PvP Map

[VoidsentStatus]

Just saw the footage in the live letter. For the people who hated wind map, and wanted to act like volcano wasn't just as trash, this is what ya'll deserve. Pray return to the spawn when you get Reaper lb'd into a Samurai toy 1shot ON THE CHECKPOINT IN OVERTIME. Enjoy.

Still better than C9.

[Necrotica]

It looks like a nightmare. They are desperately trying to distract us from bad pvp class design by having the arena itself be more frustrating.

[Edelgarde]

Just when I thought it couldn't be anymore obnoxious than C9.

[Elfidan]

LEAVE C9 ALONE! T_T

[Mistress_Irika]

They definitely added more chaos lol. Camping in certain areas is punishable. Will have to avoid classes like WARs when the adds come out.

I do wonder if all of this chaos will keep player retention up. Probably in casual only if people aren't too annoyed by the map...

LEAVE C9 ALONE! T_T

It's over, the best map is removed because of little babbies while literal trash like Volcanic Heart remains.

I mean I like Volcanic heart too. I love having more things to worry about in a match than just "does Sam have LB? does nin have LB(what's my hp% ^_^; )? Am I too close to the WHM?". I get really bored in the pokemon stadium and irritated when some nerd runs up the sprint lane solo and dies. I really do agree with Reiny-boy about the maps just needing to be randomized instead of an hour per each.

R-... "Reiny-boy"? Anyhow pretty much hit the nail on the head.

Also I would like to remind people that there is more to a map than the gimmick, namely map layout ans traversal options.

I don't think C9 is bad because of the gimmick, I think it is bad because of the midfight being around a singular chokepoint with two massive squares of no cover to utilise, similarly the transition from 2nd to Final point. It makes pushing needlessly more hazardous and leaves nearly no option for retreat in most scenarios.

The map layout from the new map is enticing, putting displacement CC aside I think it has some good wall setup without going crazy on it.

"It makes pushing needlessly more hazardous and leaves nearly no option for retreat in most scenarios"

*looks at gimmicks that are now permissible to 1shot, that clearly favor certain jobs that can abuse them/prevent enemy players from countering them, knowing that your team's comp is random*

"It makes winning needlessly more random and leaves nearly no option for counterplay in most scenarios"
