Tera/Seraph

Is this the same one I saw the beginnings of a few weeks ago?

 

^ Nope.

They look ****ing nice, man. Can't wait for you to get back on Live. Gonna dl and look around right now.

 

Both are wonderful works of art. We need to get some games on these very soon. Keep up the great forging, man.

 

I hate to say it, because these maps look so good, but I get the feeling they are too similar. I do understand that we have only so many pieces and parts to use in forge and only so many places to build, but I would like to see some sort of variation in them more than what you have done. Other than that the maps look as good as ever and I must say you are one hell of a forger. Well done and I hope I get a game here one day. Are these 1v1 or 2v2 maps?

 

I've read this thread about four times and for the first time realized there are two different maps there. I think Jia was the first map with this sort of style, but regardless of which map was the first all of these feel almost the same. That does not, however, detract at all from how well these play, and it's nice to have a whole group of similar feeling, good maps.

 

Sexy 4th picture is sexy.

Invite me when you get back to live so I can see/play these babies... as well as more Caia.

 

Retarded name .....

And why everybody is making map that looks all the same ?

Personally theese map are like all the others map made by Ace , Erupt , Eightball .

 

1. What? How is this set of names any better or worse than your own? I like them.
2.Because of limited forge peices and places to put creations, along with some peices being better to work with than others. Besides, it's nice to have good aesthetics (which these do, just similar ones) but its gameplay that matters, and Longshot is great at making good maps.

 

1. I gave this set of name because all the map that theese guys have done looks the same .

2. Aesthetics is not the only thing in forge .... Layout is most important things .

Do you remember the first map Longshot ever made ? Beautiful . Good layout and a bit of aesthetic .

Do you remeber first ereupt map ? Simple , Godd layout and a bit more aesthetic than Longshot but it dont really matter because of the layout .

Do you remeber the first map Ace have done ? Me neighter but im sure he was thinking about layout first than aesthetics stuff .

Do you remeber the first map Eightball have forged ? Amazing ! A good mix of layout and aesthetics .

Now i dont know what happen to theese guys to forge with all the same creativity .
Normally, I guest , each forgers have is personality and is own way to forge .

 

Your lack of logic and proper grammar makes me want to kill myself.

Don't worry about him, Longshot. He's got absolutely no room to call any map name retarded considering what he's named his past creations. Regardless, I'm going to try and get a few games in on both of these today.

 

Yeah his grammar used to piss me off too, but then I realized he was from Quebec, where they speak French. So don't hate on his grammar.

 

1. Ok, I somewhat see how our map names are alike, but retarded? As apposed to you're own:

"Living Inside A Big Red Pitched Elephant S**!"
"The Fun Machine Take A S**! & Died"
"Flo.....With More Ramps .... V2"
"The Balade Of Queen Bee And Baby Duck Through Exo-Politics City ."

Bungie.net : Reach : Player File Share

And you're saying our map names are retarded? Your names aren't even creative, they're just random sentences.

2. I put a total of ZERO thought into my first 5 or so maps, now I actually kind of know what I'm doing so I'd love to know how my maps are getting worse design-wise. Same with Longshot, Eightball and Ace. They're newer designs far surpass their old ones.

It's also nice that you're the one mentioning this, as your maps run solely off of aesthetics. The layouts aren't good, and they have soooo much framerate because you put soo many pieces with lights into your maps.

And creativity? You joined me while I was forging a map awhile back and a few days later invited me to a game where you had a map that had the EXACT same center. Same pieces. Almost exactly the same layout, too. Also, remember that map you made a few weeks ago that stole so much from Raya and Lux that you asked Ace if you could release it? It had Lux's floors, teleporter, brace doorway and Raya's lights on the wall. And a bad layout to boot.

Not only that, but in Reach, you're creativity is soo limited. Like 10 pieces look good overall, and like 5 of them go together well if you pull it off right.

The point is, you seem to be horribly misguided when it comes to ideas about design, or just maps in general. So before you go insulting a group of great forgers simultaneously, make sure that you know what you're talking about.

 

My eyes are bleeding after reading that. So much so I can't bear to quote it.

The only two points I got were that you think the aesthetics are good and that you don't like the names which in my opinion means the names are good. In most cases I would ask someone to comment on something less superficial, but in your case please don't comment again.

 

Smexy maps be smexy! On Tera, you know the gravity lift in the back corner around the custom powerup? It launches you a bit to high IMO, unless it was meant to get you to the upper area with the NR.

 

Well thank you Erupt .

First all the map in file share are co-forge and its been a years they are made . ..... Im not the only one to Blame ! Also 2 months ago i realize that i should rebuild my map without FRAMELAG .

Im not INSULTING you .... your great forgers but DAMM!

All im trying to say it that the map that you guys are making are all the same to my eye.

Oh and also the map i made with the design from Ace's was a caricature of your work ....

And for the Retarded name i Loose a point .... now 1-0 for you .

AND FOR ALL HATERS LOOK AT MY DAMM ****ING NAME : FRENCHYS IT MEANS THAT IM FRENCH .

So now i call you Retarded . Joke

 

Can't even forge a quote correctly.

you're*

EDIT: Alright, that was a spam worthy post. I apologize. Time to expand.

What a lot of these forgers have in common is the pieces they use. The funny thing is, so does everyone. Forge is too limited to make brand new stylistic decisions 14 months into the game. I'm almost positive most of the forgers you mention (myself included even though I didn't make the list) aren't very proud of their firsts. Each map is an improvement over the other. I'm sure longshot took what made Anent successful (and other good maps) and implemented positive aspects into his new creations. That's how inventing things works.

That being said, maybe you're right. Maybe they do look similar to other maps, but this is just a taste. A preview. We have 3 pictures from each which isn't close to enough to give a fair judgement of what the map is like. Once it comes out it could be STRIKINGLY similar to another successful map, in which case it will fail. I don't see that happening, but who knows. Until then, lets stop it with the silly assumptions and lackluster arguments. This isn't exactly the place to be giving him the unjustified critiques you are.

 

I wasn't solely blaming you.

Make that more obvious, because as far as I can tell, everyone read it as an insult to us.

Then why ask to release it? You took the aesthetics one way or the other, calling it something different means nothing.

Ok so I'm gonna end with this post. Don't wanna start another war in one of Longshot's threads.
