no need to repeat what I already said

This is just dumb at this point. I had good faith in bottiger for this, but this is seriously some unbelievable negligence and islanding. I'm going to be blunt. You have an overwhelming majority of players saying this renaming is dumb. Not just the sweats, but even casual people (arctic dino...

(also add simulacrum and simulation pls)

They have activators that activate traps. Some do a bad job at this (neonoir namely), but PQ and Cybertower absolutely are deathrun maps. They're just extremely hard. Normal deathrun maps also have basic platforming and obstacles on occasion. Harder maps ramp that up to a high degree. The...

"some stuff" (cybertower and PQ relying entirely on custom soundscript entries to do anything) im pretty sure a single word "Hardcore" is enough to tell people the difference between casual silly DR maps and what we have here. renaming the entire gamemode is too obtuse.

Renaming maps is not a good idea. Maps that rely on level_sounds or particles.txt will break. You're also forcing people to download duplicates of maps, which is entirely unnecessary. And, those not in the know how might not even realize these are "hard deathrun maps", and may mistake these for...

I'm not sure it would have any longevity, but I guess it would be better than that silly EU server that remains empty 90% of the time. +1?

v1e sits at 1621 with two players. Are you sure about that?

From what I've heard, this map is EXTREMELY high on edicts. There is a very realistic chance of this map crashing due to edict overflow. It peaked at more than 1700 during a playtest. Imagine a full server, with donators using 4 cosmetics...trails...projectiles from stickies...and who knows what...

-1 Shit low effort map that literally didn't even have textures packed on its release. Does not have any of the troll/exploitable things that people play ancient memes for. Soulless, empty, hollow, ugly, too dark, the works.

I love the map's visuals and everything, but the fact every trap can be memorized makes it really unfun to play as activator. According to patch notes, that's even more of the case now.

Here's a full gameplay video for those interested. Credit Zaty.

As the map's creator, I should give a few notes. The map is very lengthy and very difficult. It is probably 2 to 3 times as difficult as neonoir is, depending on what the activator chooses to do. A single run of the map could possibly take 10 minutes. It's basically akin to water-run, now that I...

Yesterday a handful of people were simultaneously banned for a short time for exploiting (with no warning as well) They were a group of demomen/players on dr_trump_tower_redux, either charging to an otherwise unreachable safe spot in the lasers minigame, or standing in a specific spot that did...

+1 Simulacrum update has greatly improved the "spectator simulator" complaint. Upon reaching the 2nd section, there is a respawn wave. If people like neonoir so much, they'll probably like this one. The actual concern is edicts. The map approaches around ~1500 if I remember correctly, so...
