Classic Map Touch-Up - Update: Live map changed

[shearer]

why wouldn't you make a "New Classic" and have that be this new god aweful mess of a map, and have the original map be "classic" the way that it should be...

[joemaddog]

couldn't you add the yellow style classic map?

[Etoh]

It's not our job to follow countless posts about map changes before they happen, but it is our right to comment on changes after they happen. We're not condemning the designers for their work, but it's obvious that that the old design was better. So simply change it back and let's move on. Don't try to be a big shot and make this into something larger than it really is. This is very simple: the old map was better. If people want an updated version also: hello! Leave both of them up?

[BADPAT]

I dont like it either. nice try to improve but its not making things better this time

[Shabel]

it sucks.....change it back.

[llcooljabe]

Honestly, I don't get the big deal. Looks fine to me.

Guys, this touch up has been in the map foundry since the end of January. If you don't like it, you should have posted there sometime in the past three months. If you were too lazy to do so, it's your own damn fault.

I think the touch-up looks lovely

MORAN people play games instead of reading crap. 80% of the new maps are hiddeous anyway, why do you think most people play classic?

I'm sorry that you failed to say your grievances with this touch-up before it was quenched, but that option was open to you for three months.

Name calling, by the way, is not necessary. If you can't make your point without resorting to it, perhaps you should reexamine the validity of your point.

is it just me or does this only benefit people who are either blind or have broken monitors

The white circles under the armies makes it more difficult to scan the map and visually see where strengths and weakness appears. It is fine for attacking some one close but it is more difficult to get a big picture view.

I do not like it.

Can you offer a toggle between map views?

I think the touch-up looks awful, but lack said not to change anything or he'd break my arm

I was campaigning for a new Classic map in the map foundry in mid 2006.
I left after sticking hundreds of letters under the managers door.
2008 - and finally we get this?

[Bruceswar]

HOLY SHIT WORST CHANGE EVRER...... WHAT A WASTE OF TIME

I agree 100% Terrible..

[dougal4chaos]

the new map is harder to use than the old map.
if some people claim to like the new map can we have both then everyone is happy

[moonsoon7]

I CAN'T SEE !!!

& THE MAP LOOKS UGLY

[jonboyau]

Dang, I hate to add Classic to a list of maps I don't play, but it looks like thats the way it will have to be.

Your quote editing is hilarious.

[Budman49684]

Man it is hard to read.

[Bruceswar]

Wow, that's a lot of ire going around. I personally feel that the changes were an improvement, for what it's worth.

@Detractors: How about constructive criticism?

It's simple, the circles are bloody awful, get rid of them or at least make them optional!

I agree 100% YUK!

[andyflint]

sorry - i prefer the previous version too

As ZeakCytho mentioned, we actively run the Map Foundry. At any given time we've 20+ maps in some stage of production, all looking for comments, feedback, and criticism. The Map Foundry thrives on feedback and input. The cartographers do an excellent job at fielding suggestions and comments, shaping maps the way the general community would like.

I'd like to invite you all to be a part of this process in the Map Foundry. Stop by and let your voice be heard--comment on some of the great and interesting maps in production!

We are listening to your current feedback also, just so you know!

Thanks,

guys I know I'm being pretty repetitive, but please do change it back. The changes, overall, are not very beneficial and the army circles are very distacting. However, I realize people put a lot of work into this and if it's going to stay, I'm sure I'll get used to it

why didn't you post it on the home page that you were going to change the classic map, you seem to think it was important enough for the home page afterward... I guarantee if everyone had known that this change was going to be made, we would have gotten in on it earlier

Translation: If you are just a paying customer and you refuse to take part in the development process, then shut up, it's over.

[tomtorresson]

Damn near impossible to read. Please switch back to the old "Classic" version ASAP!!!

[AndyDufresne]

Are the majority of the issues aimed toward the army shadows?
