Welcome to the Flood zone Flood zone is an infection testing lobby hosted By me, Finn. I will be testing everything that uses infection based gametype I will be trying to get as good players/forgers to play in the lobby so that I we can get as good feedback as possible. All the maps will be played twice and if I have time I will be playing the maps three times ============================================================= Lobby schedule The lobby will be hosted every other weekend on saturdays starting from 10th of september at 7pm UTC+2 (Finland) 12am UTC-5 (east coast) 9am UTC-8 (west coast) For now the lobby lasts untill all of the maps have been played, but if i start to get a ton of submitions (I probaply wont) I will put a limit to the ammount of maps ============================================================= Submitions If you want your map to be played post the map name and your gamertag or a waypoint link here. preferably include some information of the map. The maps will be played in the order they are submited ============================================================= I will be streaming everything at https://www.twitch.tv/finnthefinnishguy My gamertag is WholeIowa FIN (iowa with cap i)
The times for east coast and west coast would actually be 11pm (east) and 8 pm (west), both being on Friday. If you are using Finland time as your base time.
I know you already said you are only testing standard infection. But how come linear infection can't be included into this lobby? I understand it's your lobby and you can control how things work but I know several people who would get much use out of this lobby if you could test linear infection maps as well (myself included). Anyway, good luck to your lobby. I'll maybe hop on to watch the stream when it starts.
heres a submission then. Ariamis by GrayishPoppy210. May not be around but you can post feedback in here i suppose
Lobby is now open for any infection based submitions including minigames --- Double Post Merged, Oct 2, 2016 --- i will message you the feedback if I dont get my twitch working
Here's a little suggestion for you - try playing all sorts of gametypes. A new lobby should NEVER turn away any maps or modes because it doesn't fit your very strict guidelines. Nobody wants to submit to a lobby when a. there's a ton of other lobbies that are more accepting, and b. they are afraid of being turned down for testing, when their map obviously needs a test, and/or feedback. Also, you need to work on your networking a bit too. Testing lobbies like the Forged Friday lobbies, or perhaps xDemption's "Into The Forge" work well because of two key factors. One, they manage to market their lobby well. They are always seeing if people want their maps tested, and they are always advocating for it. Two, they're well known in the community, and they can prove they can provide good, honest and helpful feedback. I haven't played in your lobbies, however from these posts and the very limited marketing, I, as a map creator, can't tell whether or not you can tell me what specifically to fix, or perhaps whether you can critique in a very specific manner. Once you work on getting yourself out there, and/or you market your lobby a lot more, you'll probably get more submissions for testing, and therefore, the lobby will be more successful.
