Having two of three lobbies accept it may be difficult, I haven't even seen the third lobby be active. Though, I'm still hoping that I can get mirage tested before not too long. This is a great idea, albeit a tad difficult to get a map in the first place with the new changes. Really like how you post the video gameplay on Youtube, a really great idea.
@Merder Smerf I was looking over past feedback for the last lobby and Solasium by @Duke of Mearl 's video is not Solasium it is Calvacade which makes it a duplicate video. Just a heads up. Thanks for doing this... this is very helpful.
Yea duke found that earlier this morning as well. I'll have to take care of it after work. But at least I know folks are getting on and looking for their vids.
I happened to notice that today (I rewatched the stream the day later so hadn't checked the YouTube video). Want to add a link in my map page. And no rush merder
Hey Smerf, process question. Maps that have gone through the lobby and gotten the "MM with tweaks" vote -> how do we plan on handling them? I'm asking because I'd like to bring Avenue back through, but, for instance, @Duke of Mearl might bring Solasium back after he makes those visual changes. So the question is, how to get those scheduled? Do we want them to pass through other lobbies again? (Not a fan, but thought it was worth asking) Do they even need to pass through other UCC again, or can the mapmakers just make their changes and poke the CF person at the next lobby when it's done?
It's going to be case by case and each forger can speak with me directly thru DM. I'm dukes case i don't think tossing some ivy on the walls warrants a retest. In cases like yours where something being changed more strongly affects gameplay I'll out that map in the que as soon as it's ready. If the reworks are substancial we would probably want to see it go thru a little testing with the other lobbies first. Case by case and if I'm not comfortable making the call myself I'll involve the other lobby hosts (which I more or less always do anyway) and CF resources like... YOU! (But not for your own map)
I talked with @Merder Smerf about this and he said it was a case by case basis. Solasium mostly only required visual tweaks and changes only modify gameplay a minuscule amount so it wouldn't be eligible to test again. I agree with that as I don't think it should fill a spot for other maps. It's pretty much a green light that can be rewarded retroactively pending changes I think, if that matters for anything haha --- Double Post Merged, Apr 11, 2016 --- He beat me to it
Perfect! Just wanted to check. Okay, two follow ups. For a map like Avenue, which needs to be resubmitted after significant gameplay (or layout) changes - how does that get resubmitted? Does the post happen here in this thread? Is it a direct message to you? I think having it defined would be a good idea... For a map like Solasium, I think the next steps for the map creator is to contact the CF person via Forgehub or the Twitch chat for the Monday stream. So @Duke of Mearl, when you feel Solasium is ready, let me or CaptainPunch know and we'll bring it forward to the CCs
Which lobby is it that you aren't seeing active? They are all running weekly and I'm dukes case almost daily --- Double Post Merged, Apr 11, 2016 --- Once you're in UCC land just contact me via DM for rescheduling. And I hope this means your ready because the team is begging for breakout maps. We are also wanting to come up with a little graphic like a seal of approval - something fun - that forgers can put in their map post. I have an idea for how it can be authenticated I'll talk to you guys about on DM. Maybe @Captain Punch can whip something up UCC approved or some such.
Oh, I found the thread. At the time I didn't see it, but I guess it was just in some downtime or I was blind.
If you ever have any questions about how alliance works feel free to DM me or any of the hosts in the network.
I'll DM you with your lobby date. In the future the lobby hosts basically set up the UCC que thru their own approval process and I just take them in the order those guys hand them off. Once the date is set I'll msg the forces for that week with details and get the gametypes. It all gets lost in the threads. So all that to say- next time you put a map thru I'll contact you with your UCC info. AND very soon the tool we use to communicate between network lobbies and tell eachother where the maps are at will be publicly viewable so you'll be able to check status on your own. You can also DM anytime with any questions.
Yea demption said so as well. It will test on 4/20 (next wed) at 8:30pm if you want to watch. (Every time I type "demption" my auto correct changes it to "demotion." Fun fact.)
Please add Map Name: Rasad GT: ARC GamerFreaks 4v4 Slayer and Strongholds http://www.forgehub.com/maps/rasad.2054/
You need to submit maps thru max extra, demption, and duke of Mearl. All the info is in the OP on this thread.
