Verdant

[Shakey-Lo]

Sooo... Verdant = Damnation, Abaddon = Abaddon, Icewind = ??, DesertedSands = umm...desert version of IceRidge??

edit: thought I remembered seeing a DX clone on a preview stream?

[Nasty Hobbit]

verdant is wilderzone. i'm told it was the most popular t2 map over there. there's a smaller dangerous crossing one but it must be an LT map. only a server admin can switch to that mode atm.

plently of familiar buildings from stonehenge, katabatic, jagged claw and damnation. the vpad room from harvester is there, the massive base looks familiar too. feels like home

[Larno]

The building/structures look like they have no textures at all in those pics, do they in game?

A couple of maps are fully textured but majority arent atm.

Are we able to get server administration privileges?

I think hobbs has requested admin from bugs

[Nasty Hobbit]

there are other maps too, one called StealthRun that doesn't appear on the ingame list. 19 in total (some LT variants, some new) i'll grab more screenies tonight.

and yup, a few of us have admin pw now. without a rabbit mode to play switching to LT works well for small numbers

There was a map I played those morning. It's an SH clone. Has the deep sliding dips behind each flag stand. Awesome map.

it was played a lot in AU comps, not so much in pub map rotation though...

^ added new screenshots of the other maps to first post

SLTE-021 is stonehenge
Outpost 99 is dangerous crossing

Pretty sweet that they have such a large amount of maps at this point of proceedings! If there was a way to upgrade from Alpha to IA I would now

[Deepjay]

Obviously some of these maps are quite rough and early works in progress - but how much attention do you think has been paid to the actual terrain design? From the screenies much of it looks like randomly generated fractal maps. It's impossible to tell from screenies though, but do you think these guys have some good mapper skills? Do we need to dispatch DOX?

[Nasty Hobbit]

i've played a lot of shitty broken early access games, midair isn't one of them. runs brilliantly on an old gtx660, snappy and responsive controls and hasn't crashed once.

terrain-wise, if anything i'd tone down the amount of bumps. no matter what direction you're hurtling in you can always spot a ramp somewhere and it feels a bit ez mode. not having falling damage probably exacerbates it. the maps are generally very natural looking with no stupid spires of rock either side of a volcano that would make a geologist rage quit. some of the rock objects have some clipping issues and also i'm yet to stub my toe on a map tile, remember that was a thing sometimes? some maps are huge and while there's an oob grid there's also a edge of map grid beyond that. you can't ski off into the distance forever but you have plenty of room.

base-wise, some are obvious rectangle placeholders and some are more polished with pipes and curvy bits and textures. flag stand-wise, there's a good mix of open stands and structures/terrain that force side-caps. everyone is still working out routes but you don't have blatant shit like arx nova which may as well have had a long distance ski jump with the enemy flag at the bottom pointing you back to your base. a couple of flag stands worry me a bit, you can get a huge amount of altitude without too much effort and in the right hands that'll translate to unchaseable back caps. have had some intense chase's in the last couple of days, gotta keep that phase of the game going.

if im not mistaken that would be this map.

[XU1]

That's the one damo. You would love the skiiing and jetting in this

[Nasty Hobbit]

it's called SLTE-021 (see updated first post)
pretty sure everything after Massive is LT, the rest are naked spawn

Kind of reminds me of snowblind aswell
