Name of map: Dragonwrecks
Description of map flaw: The hunters are not given swords when they respawn but they are given tnt, flint and steel a pork chop and 3 enderpearls. Survivors are able to get iron swords and a blast protection X chestplate near spawn completely blocking the damage taken from tnt. The only option a hunter has is try to punch the survivor to death

I guess you never broke the ice over the chest at spawn yet x)? Anyways there is a chest right by spawn that only hunters can break into and it has swords in it.

Description of map flaw: Multiple iron swords including a sharpness iron sword + chain armor + lava being used to block the tunnel, [which is a kill chute in itself] kits not being balanced[First hunter gets iron sword + chain rest get wood sword/leather and chain + stone sword] while survivors will always have better gear and vines block arrows leaving cannonfodder hunters to vainly attempt to kill survivors.

Fix: Give the hunters better armor (chain maybe?), and make thet spawn with normal iron swords, which is just slightly worse than what the humans got. The lava is is in hunter kits, so they should be more careful with it x)

Name of Map: Forest
Description of Map Flaw: Almost all useful chest items easily and greatly overpower all hunter kits.
Example (hypothetical): one chest contains two iron ingots, a stone sword, bread, and a chainmail chestplate.
Example (part 2, literal): All hunter kits are either A. normal bow, no armor, and 16 arrows, B. Stone sword and nothing else, or C. Wooden sword, Wooden pickaxe, and 32 dirt.
As I recall reading on the AoD forums, the chests in a map must not give gear that over powers hunter kits by a great deal (chest = iron sword/kit = stone sword + gold chest plate = OK, Chest = diamond sword and chestplate/kit = stone sword and gold plate = NOT OK) and this map does not meet this requirement... misses by about a mile.
Screenshots: even if I did take them, I have no means of uploading anything at this point in time. That, or I just don't know how the internet works.

Name of Map: Forest
Description of Second Map Flaw: Timers are too short to give hunters a fighting chance.
Screenshots: same deal as the flaw above: I don't know how to upload anything to the internet.

I acknowledge the warning sign at the bottom saying this thread is over 30 days old, but enough is enough, I'm tired of this sloppy map killing my fun every other time I play it.

@Catcocomics

I'll be taking a look through the map in just a bit to see what I can do to balance it out. I don't feel that it's extremely overpowered, but it's still worth a look.

Thank you for your report.

Oooh.. That looks like it might be a config derp. We never really got around to testing out Skyscraper, I don't think.

Hopefully Mmarz will look into it.

Round time is now set to 10 minutes instead of 170 minutes.

Apparently on Flashback when you go past the world border it can spawn you underneath the map. Hasn't happened to me but katman46 had some trouble with it.

Question: Is the screenshot from in-game? Neither of those items should be available in the map :s

No, went back to screenshot it while everyone else was in Arachnophobia.

Name of Map: Herenya
Description Of Map Flaw: Beside the stairs of the houses are pretty looking flowerbeds and they add a nice touch to the map but if you fall into them...... there's NO WAY OUT!

I played one game of herenya today and in that short time TWO people got stuck and they both died because of it. I was one of them. You can't break the flowers so you can't get out and your enemies can just pick you off with a bow, you can't even fight back for long because you generally spawn with a low number of arrows.

This is a nice map but this one flaw ruined a whole game. I think it should be fixed.

(I'm sorry I couldn't put a screenshot in. Since I am new to the forums I have no idea how to can someone please take them for me or tell me how? )

Fixed? Might have missed one or two. Only modified the ones that were next to stairs and could easily be fallen into.

Description: A derp on my part. I accidentally placed the trapdoor the wrong way around and now you can't get up onto this house's roof without breaking the trapdoor which takes a while. The trapdoor should be facing the other way around.

Description of map flaw: Survivors don't have enough food and may get killed while stopping to eat.
Screenshots or coordinates of map flaw: (Can't be provided as it effects the entire map)

Maybe add saturation to fix this?

Description of Map Flaw: another case of underpowered hunter kits: Hunters only get some things including iron axe, sharp 1 gold sword (best weapon for hunter kits), bows and arrows, weak splash potions, and a mixture of gold and leather armor. What can the survivors get? chainmail, iron swords, iron armor, hell, even some diamond gear. Plus an enchantment table. Essentially, the hunters drop like flies.

Screenshots: none, but this is kit/equipment issue.

Suggestion to Remedy: give hunter kits a minimum of chainmail and sharp 1 stone sword for most or all kits, so that 1 person will not be able to rampage through 5 hunters without dropping below 5 hearts.

Thanks for bringing this up. I was going to ask to get this fixed. Also can the survival time be upgraded to 10 minutes.

I did kill two people as a hunter the one time I played this map, but only because they either ran, or were preoccupied with a chest.
Not to mention, our kits were feeding them an endless supply of buff pots.
