This is the problem with places like Dretchstorm where people play maps that suck because someone with elevated standing within the community created them. Maps with no artistic or gameplay merit are praised and see playtime on major servers (case in point, "Rotcannon", "the Bunker", et al.

Apparently you never play on DS. I've never seen either of those maps run on that server, and I've played there a ton. In fact, the map options on DS were decided by a month long vote on the website and not "someone with elevated standing".

DS plays a lot of Trak's maps, because they are great. Keep up the good work, Trak, and ignore people like this guy who clearly suffers from an inferiority complex.

Nathan, why do I get the feeling you don't know what the fuck you are talking about?

Please, everyone. I don't want this thread to turn into a flamewar. This thread is for feedback, constructive or otherwise, on Thanatos, feedback which Nathan was kind enough to provide. He has stated his opinion and let's leave it at that. If you feel the unstoppable urge to confront him about it, send him a pm or something.

Thanks :)

He did... He sent me three abusive PM's which I have forwarded on to Lava, Surv and Roc.

Nathan, go find a little hole to rot in and leave us in peace.

That had nothing to do with TRak's map and should have been kept out of his thread, Kaleo.

It's too bad that instead of responding to my sincere and heartfelt messages you had to go tattlebitch to the mods. It's a shame that this is the response from the community when I try to leave actual feedback. It's a pity that I've derailed TRak's thread into the abyss, but I can't help it when twelve year-olds who need to feel like they are important over the internet direct such rude, tasteless comments towards me.

I'm sorry, TRak.

If that's sincere and heartfelt, then you should talk to a therapist.  And I'm sorry, tattlebitch?  That's what moderators are here for; if you have a problem, you contact them.  Sheesh, some people act like this is fourth grade...

What's odd is that I thought he was banned earlier today, but perhaps a ban trigger was missed.  Either way it's fixed.

Trak, next time you see me in IRC (possibly tonight, if I don't pass out soon) flag me down so I can get a tour of the map with ya.  Maybe we'll take over a server and playtest it for a bit :>

If you want another word on the subject, Trak earned much of his reputation because he makes such good maps.

A few of us played some games on this map last night.  We pointed out to Trak some of the flaws as we saw them (though he was just as quick to point out things we hadn't noticed yet).  I don't think any of them were real showstoppers, just minor things really.  I love the detail everywhere, makes it feel like you're inside a facility and not just running around a map.

Isn't this the same idea as ADOC? Anyway, downloading.

The whole competition is.

Oh. Wierd, I haven't seen any others. Just ADOC, which was TraK's second map.
Anyway, tremulous fails when I try to start a server using Thanatos.

This map is awesome... I played a LAN game with some friends, and it was unbelievably well balanced.

but I can't help it when twelve year-olds who need to feel like they are important over the internet direct such rude, tasteless comments towards me.

That made me laugh... 12 eh?

One of the best non-1.1-bundled maps made.
Keep up the great work!
