Spoiler

There's no reason to be using US2's current map, when we could be using a wonderful map like this.

Case closed.

As in, it'd still fill up with Eden. Just because the server fills up doesn't mean we have to stick with a shitty map.

why does it matter if the map is shit? its fucking TRADE.
that's like saying the idle map is shit because people want to play on it
lets change it to 2fort

 

[mittens]

people play in the portal map already. they shoot shit
that's what you do on trade
shoot shit and spam binds

I don't think I've ever sold anything ons this server. People just screw around with jetpack and spawn camp and whatever else.

It's a lot easier to sell shit when people are trading and not trying to topscore.

If it doesn't matter then just change it. I like to not Hurt my eyes while I try to sell my Strange botgun pos.

dude. your logic is faulty.
Just because it's trade DOESN"T MEAN THAT WE HAVE TO PLAY ON A SHITTY MAP.
It's easy to see you don't frequent trade servers a lot.
Yes, it's trade. and Yes, it can and should have at least a decent looking map.

map doesnt have to look good to trade on it.

if people don't like it then they just leave and go to a different server where you can actually read the text on the screen.

pretty sure people can read the text on their screen.
pro tip you can move your text box or just look away from the walls if you're in dx8

As a regular to US 2 I actually like the map I think it's unique and I'm always excited when Lechris releases something to the map :)

Go to cwgworks where I don't have to deal with anything. Problem solved.

kinda speaks for itself.

the whole point of having a trade map is keeping it stable; releasing updates makes everyone have to re-download the map each time, reducing the # of people on the server.
I know connectivity would dip for a bit after changing the map for US2, but once people download it it'll go right back to normal. + I'm pretty sure Eden would increase server connectivity afterwards.

If there were no drop shadows, you couldn't. I think that's his point.

Here, look at the difference between the portal map, and minecraft & eden:

Do you notice how it's easier to read the text? And how you don't have to stare at a wall to read the text?

I can without looking at the wall. The drop shadows are there for a reason.
