The game is old, and everyone knows that we arent going to get new content like maps very fast.

Many of the maps are large but most of the area goes largely unused (at least in QP) because the spawn points / objectives funnel players to the same spot every time.

Altering objective and spawn locations has the potential to dramatically change how a map plays in a large number of ways (changing domination circle locations being the most obvious one).

We aren't likely to get dynamic spawns/objectives for a number of reasons, mainly the ability to program that but also it would be hard to balance and youd end with unfair combos.

Which leads to my suggestion:

Make multiple copies of every map, call them Terra Therma A / B / C / etc, and have the only difference between the copies be the objective / spawn locations. This could dramatically expand match variety for what seems to me to be very little effort or resource expenditure.

I'm bothered by having only one Terra Therma map, but you want to have three or four. If you want it to be hot, hotter, and hell, we might as well not play and jump straight into the lava

In my opinion, developers should focus their time on adding new maps and new machines rather than fixing old parts.

If possible, let it not be hot.

I don't like artificial maps at all. I think maps with greenery, forests, and snow are very beautiful. I wish there were more places from around the world. I wish there were more beauty, I want to see more than just empty rocks.

But of course, I'm not referring to flying grass. It's good to do a job properly. Either work meticulously and produce something beautiful or don't do it at all.

clan needs more chassis horribly and maybe a couple new weapons.

Terra Therma was just an example. Im suggesting making multiple versions of ALL the maps, with altered spawns and objective locations so we can have more variety in where we fight. Please stop getting hung up on the temperature of the map, its really a minor issue.

Yeah, in an ideal world we would get more new stuff. Its not an ideal world and im making a suggestion that takes into account limited resources.

Clan doesnt 'need' new chassis, though i wouldnt complain. New weapons would be nice too but, again, this was a suggestion that specifically doesnt need much work so could be implemented without taking away from other developments. It isnt either/or..

An increase in hot maps is a big problem for me. Not a small problem.

You want all the different modes of all the maps to be in the game. I understand you, but I am also saying that I did not want the increase in hot maps. Whether you tolerate it or not, I no longer have tolerance for the people here, they are really very insensitive. Don't bother, I won't join again anyway.
