    What are yours? (And don't say "the phrase 'pet peeve!!!'") Personally, I hate managing levels of elevation and ways up (ramps etc.) along with angled merging. Both of which I can do, but I find to be a pain. I also hate Foundry's size. To really suit 4v4, you have to use all of it. I wish it were bigger so you could make maps intended for even 6v6 without it being pure chaos.

    Those objects that you get perfect, save and quit, and suddenly their on a completely different angle.

    I have the same one with you. Angled merges, interlocking a single box STANDING on another double box(Like from Sanghelios).

    Or when you try and build 2 floors.

    Sometimes when I forge I just look at an object I'm about to merge and just get off of Halo....

    kindda like insane's but when finally get something right and then you accidentally delete it. And you forget to save after awhile. Omg that always happens to me.

    I just wish there was a button to freeze the object in mid air.

    It makes me mad everytime I think about it.

    Geomerging stairs (downward) proved to me to be pretty frustrating and time-consuming, although I think I've sort of gotten the hang of it.

    Angled Merges and glitchy interlocking.
    Cant live with it cant live without it.

    It really bugs me to see too boxes, walls, etc. getting so perfectly interlocked they start freaking out and getting into an epic brawl.

    I hate forging in general. I love designing maps, but the process of building them is like pulling teeth to me.

    As for "pet peeves" about when other people build maps, im gonna make a list cause i can and want to.

    - turning dumpsters on their backs. It looks aweful.
    - double boxes that arent upsidedown.
    - bridges that arent upsidedown. theyre ugly as sin.
    - ramps that lead to nowhere.
    - bridges with stairs under them. they are in every map now.
    - fence boxes in general.
    - equipment on weapon holders.
    - anything but a sword on a weapon holder.
    - weapons dangling from the ceiling.
    - flags hanging from the wall or ceiling.
    - loading your map with a million power weapons.
    - the fuel rod cannon.
    - maps that dont look like they could be a real map.
    - maps that use tons of random obscure geomerges.

    etc.

    When you get really into lining up an angled interlock (stacking up things so that it is lined up perfectly w/ the right angle) Then you start like 20 rounds trying to get a 5 Double Box wall lined up like this. Then you start a new round to get the last one perfect and BOOM. "Game over!" Green Team Wins! And you just want to murder the voiceover guy...

    Getting something at just the right angle, not even doing anything spectacular like geomerging or interlocking and come back and its all screwy. And flickering. Damn I hate flickering, it takes soo long to fix it just right for me...

    My worse pet peeve is the reason why I had to redo Bleach Arena the first time I made it...

    When your holding onto an object in forge, and you hit the Y Button to delete it, and another object behind it is deleted instead.

    OMG, that destroys so many maps, especially when a person hasn't saved in a while.

    when you start to many new rounds and your game ends and you lose 2 hours of work.

    I can totally agree with that! I was working on what is probably half of my centerpiece in my map, got it done and went to do one more round just to see what it'd look like and bam Game Over, no savey after two hours of hard work. :surprise:mg::irritated::mad:

    am i the only person here who saves and starts new game frequently here? i've never run into that game over problem. i blame all of you for that, since its your own faults.


    save more.

    I hate it when:
    • People say "Invite me to your game please! I won't touch anything!"
    • I save/end game an object and it is in a different spot
    • I try interlocking upside down boxes at the same level and one box is always higher then the other
    • I start new round and it ends the game
    • My geomerged object dissapears
    • My geomerged objects won't merge evenly
    • I hit the item limit

    Yeah, I agree. silence I save frequently now, so if i make a mistake, I can just end the game to fix it.

    Wow, I completely agree with you. XD

    I learned my lesson on that one, I save everytime I think I've got something set up good. It doesn't where I'm at in production I save it right after I get it where I want it.

    Oh and the "inv me"! Gosh I hate that. theres this one guy I'm friends with, his name is Halohulk. He's good at playing, but he's not too grand at forging and he keeps pissing me off with his little invites, and when I do let him in all his little buddies slowly join ruining all of it. I don't know about you guys but I like to forge in peace and quiet by myself(not counting hte music blaring)

    Pet peeve's that I absolutely despise are:


    • Deleting objects through another object that I'm holding.
    • Objects that are set to not spawn in the beginning, but spawn in the initial round anyway.
    • Objects set to spawn no, but they move my geomerges they are connected too.
    Pet peeve's I have for maps.


    • Silly geomerges that serve no purpose.
    • focusing on aesthetics and not gameplay.
    • Trying to make Teles, objectives in the ground, wall or air for no reason.
    • Power weapon unbalance.
    • Anything chrstphrbrnnn does. I'm totally BSing :) ruffles hands in anticipation
    • extremely high ground that is completely overpowering with a sniper on it.
