@BopBubba Thank you for the feedback, and thank you for trying out my map, I'm glad to hear you enjoyed playing it! :)

@The_CAnDiE_MaN I understand your distaste with how my map is designed, and I'm sorry you feel that way. This is my first map, it's extremely basic, and I didn't design it for high round attempts, etc. I merely created it as a test to see what I could make with my limited skill set, as well as something that hasn't been done before.

Through player feedback, I added the platform as a way to bypass the random teleports. While players can indeed use it to camp, that isn't the main intention I had when implementing it. If players do choose to do that, then by all means they can, nothing is stopping them.

However, there is nothing forcing you to use the platform; If you wish to avoid using it and have to teleport upwards of 100 times just to get Speed Cola, then that’s your decision. It is there merely as a secondary option for those who would rather not deal with the problem of random teleports. Just because you think “This map is so trash it's insane” because “You can just sit on the white platform and be invincible” , doesn’t mean you’re forced to do so, just avoid it and don’t use it in that case.

Either way, thank you for trying my concept map, and even though you dislike my simple solution to a simple problem, I appreciate the feedback :)

But doesn't that defeat the purpose of zombies? The reason that vanguard zombies got so much hate is because there was a room where zombies didn't attack you. Imagine if origins had a place where you can camp and be invincible and just spam 2nd charged Ice staff. It would break any and all point to getting high rounds because I CAN do it. The entire point of zombies is that there is no safety net. I commented kinda aggressive so I apologize for that but I do stand by what I said. I shouldn't have to cripple myself in order to play the zombies map. The game should cripple me instead. (Note: The pile up right in front of the platform giving you the perfect kill spot.)

@The_CAnDiE_MaN Yes, the white platform is literally made to where the zombies won’t follow the player, it’s a safe spot so that the player can purchase a teleport if they choose to do so, and not have to worry about zombies chasing them to it. No where on the map does it say to sit there and be invincible and be boring, but if that’s how you see the map then fair enough, nothing is stopping you from doing so. However, that isn’t the point of the map.

This map is so trash it's insane. You can just sit on the white platform and be invincible.

@poofn Ah okay, I understand that for sure, and is most likely something I can code to implement a check to ensure two players aren't sent to the same island at once. And thanks for the feedback!
poofn 22 Jul, 2022 @ 3:19pm 
it would appear the issue is jumping off at the same time, since it teleports you to random spots before landing you in an island, we got unlucky and teleported on each other killing both.

and to support your other comments, the power 12.5k price is very much achievable without even leaving the first island

Also, there is now a bug-reporting discussion thread to post any found bugs into, so please post them there! Thank you!

@Potato 31 I'm sorry to hear that happened, I know the spawns will break when playing Co-op (2+ players), where if the host player teleports, zombies will not target other players for about 30-45 seconds. If you were playing solo, I'm not entirely sure why the spawns would have broken, although this type of design for a map does seem to push the AI of the zombies to their max as they're constantly changing their target location whenever you teleport.

@oxyMORON115 I'm currently working on implementing a system to where you can buy access to teleport to specific islands for perks or box locations etc. It should be done soon, the coding side of it just takes some time, but I hope to finish it in the next few days.

@poofn I'm sorry to hear it killed you and your brother seemingly out of nowhere, did either of you jump off the platforms in a specific area? I'm unsure as to what would've killed you out of no where, as that shouldn't happen and I apologize it affected your experience :(

@CustomZombieKiller I priced the power originally at 15k, but dropped it down to 12.5k after some play-testing as 15k was a little too much to acquire without perks. I get the 12.5k may seem high, however I believe it's easy to achieve and represents a challenge to acquire, as the map is in fact a challenge map after all.

Either way, thanks for the feedback and I hope that the map is an enjoyable experience whenever (or if) you play it! :)

@Insert Just checked the timed gameplay script from UGX and it's got the following line for dog rounds:

level.next_dog_round = 9999;

meaning there shouldn't be any for the entire game, I'm not entirely sure how you got a dog round as it shouldn't have occurred.
Potato 31 21 Jul, 2022 @ 4:18pm 
Spawns broke when I was rapidly teleporting after a round
oxyMORON115 21 Jul, 2022 @ 1:48pm 
Its a fun map and has a lot of potential, personally the "randomness" of which island the game teleports you to could use some work. I spent a solid 5 minutes going back and forth between the speed cola island and widows wine island because those were the only 2 places it would take me. it can be very frustrating but not game breaking. Maybe make the teleport logic not be able to use the same island more than a certain times in a row?
poofn 20 Jul, 2022 @ 7:11pm 
map seems pretty fun, but it killed me and my brother on 11 mins 23 secs out of nowhere
CustomZombieKiller 20 Jul, 2022 @ 6:33pm 
The power is a little expensive for my taste. But, other than that, seems like a pretty cool little map. I haven't played it yet, so it might take no time and little effort to get that much, but idk.
Insert 19 Jul, 2022 @ 11:00am 
@aclfx np. On round 7, you know the noise that plays before the line? That's what I heard, and after that is when I jumped off.
claims to be pro life.......  [author] 19 Jul, 2022 @ 5:13am 
@Insert There shouldn’t be dog rounds on the map as the code for the timed gameplay makes it to where the first dog round doesn’t occur until like round 9999, I’ll make sure to double check it to make sure dog rounds don’t happen, and I’ve never personally encountered one myself while playing it. Either way, thanks for checking out the map!

@kriller1658 Thank you! I’m currently working on implementing the changes I mentioned in response to isopropyl alcohol, and they should be ready soon. Thanks for trying out the map, I’m glad people are enjoying it :)
Insert 18 Jul, 2022 @ 4:52pm 
First dog round, the dogs won't spawn. I jumped off before it said the "fetch me their souls". and after that, I didn't hear the line.
kriller1658 18 Jul, 2022 @ 4:44pm 
i actually love this concept. very cool design! alcohol guy was kinda right, but also i like the randomness. cant wait to see where this one goes!

Part of the annoying-ness of getting to certain islands is part of the challenge, but for those who simply want to enjoy the map, it's probably a good idea to have an alternative so that it doesn't take 40+ jumps to FINALLY get to the power island to even get any perks. Thank you for trying the map however, I'm glad to see people are enjoying it ! :)

@isopropyl alcohol, Thanks for the feedback! I've considered adding some sort of button on each island that would only teleport you to the center, for pack-a-punch or for the buyable ending. This is still something I'm considering doing for the map but haven't tried just yet.

Another thought I've had is maybe adding another teleporter at the pack island (that's optional) but purchasable for something like 15k, and would allow you to choose what island to go to.

I'll play around with those two ideas as it would make it easier for players to get to the islands they want, as I know myself it can definitely get annoying when trying to get to like the power island :)
isopropyl alcohol 16 Jul, 2022 @ 1:35am 
I really like this concept, and it would be really cool to see it fleshed out a bit more, but there would have to be some other way to get to the other islands. You probably have already realized this, but it being random is a huge pain, because if there's somewhere you want to be, you just have to keep falling off until you get there. When I played it, I had to jump down upwards of 25 times when I wanted to get to the buyable ending. Pretty fun, though.
