Gamemode & Map Description

Since this description has to be short, it will be missing many important details, but don't worry I've created a detailed description in a gist! Basically the main point of this map is that rushing gets enabled after 20 minutes. Before that players have to fight at a resources arena for resources to get more resources than their enemies and therefore make a better defense and have more gear stored for the rushing phase. Since I want this map to be team-work based there are 3 classes - attackers, defenders and resource gatherers. Attackers have to fight at the arena and defend their gatherers until rushing is enabled, then they can rush the enemy woolroom. They also get crystals for kills so they can buy useful items in the itemshop. Defenders have to build the best defense using the resources that gatherers brought to them and also defend the woolroom after rushing gets enabled. Gatherers have to gather resources at the arena and bring them back to base, optionally craft stuff for attackers/defenders like iron armors or iron bars. If u have any questions, please read the detailed description

Yo, I probably would avoid using abbreviations such as "ur" in descriptions. Also, I'm having some trouble consistently hitting the launch pad's trajectory - maybe using portals would be a better substitute?

Otherwise, tbh I'm just a little confused on how the map works. Without adding more walls of text, what could be done to streamline the user understanding of the map? As you seem to get at in the gist, this isn't a map with classic mechanics...and unfortunately that means that there's going to be a learning curve that will probably affect the overall enjoyability of the user experience when playing this map.

That's the down-side of jump pads - u can't move on them if u want them to launch u into the right place. I could make the jump pads launch u into a teleporter. I thought actual jump pads are cooler tho that's why I didn't do it but considering many ppl don't know how jump pads work they may get annoyed if they get launched into a wrong place just cause they moved a bit

I think it should be pretty easy to understand for new players

• the /map command contains all the map rules,
• there are proper deny messages when someone tries to do something they shouldn't do (for example defender trying to use a jump pad),
• there's a countdown in bossbar showing when rushing gets enabled,
• the class + objective descriptions are pretty good i think
• there are also helpful tips and alerts

I bet it looks really cool, I agree with you there. Wouldn't be so cool if someone returning from the arena hit the jump pad on the ship when trying to enter it and died in the void with a full inventory of loot though.

Could just be me, but my mind glazes over as soon as you give me a wall of text to learn how to play a map. If I can't figure it out in the first 30 seconds, I'm already starting to give up.

Anyways just my 2 cents. It can be difficult for maps to have gameplay outside the norm and do well, so best of luck to you! Maybe it'll play great.

Okay, I made the jump pads launch ppl into teleports and some other changes and committed them to the map repo
