Fix maps and check them better - AleksCore - 26-03-2016
Many maps have invisible walls/objects on turns which is obviously wrong and bad, I hope I don't need to explain why it's bad. One map even have invisible object in the middle of the road (!!!).
Some maps are bad cause mapper was lazy to add nfs arrows or decorations/barriers, so you simply don't understand where to ride, especially if you playing first time.
There is also one map with weird jump on the finish and you fall right on the bus vehicles. There is 3 ways to fail this map for a newbie. 1) he will be confused with finish and he will turn before the ramp and fail. 2) he will ride too fast and fail on the ramp cause ceiling isn't high enough etc. 3) he will fail on the bus vehicles when he fall badly on them
So, what is my suggestion? Check maps better, fix bad maps. This server deserve top quality maps.
I hope it's understandable and maps will be fixed (hopes die last
). I can help with pointing on the bad parts of the maps, is here topic to report maps?

It's not that mappers are lazy. It's about aestethics and performance. Maps without arrows and objects looks more open and user friendly. They can't also set too much objects cuz it would decrase users performance. I guess you're talking about bus station. I don't really like this map myself and i find it pretty confusing. But i didn't find any other bugs. It's all about creators idea.

I don't understand why many objects will decrease performance. (What performance? PC?) It don't decrease on other servers with much more players than 4. Also few objects won't affect much in any case.
Well, I will record maps using Fraps and I'll show what I mean, 'cause hard to explain.

Map #1 - Dockside Rush

Okay, that's bad

I think that the bug on dockside is there because mecha noxia was adding invisible barriers near the water but then someone told him that he doesnt need to do it, so he removed them but probably forgot about this one

Bus station should be fixed or removed because invisible barriers placement is horrible

It's not about bugs, it's just stupid. Some maps you can drive offroad (much faster than on asphalt road) some you must drive on the asphalt road. Where is logic? Ridiculous. Maps should be equal. The same rules should be for all maps. Otherwise it's just stupid.
I will stop testing 'cause seems like it's pointless work. If you won't improve your maps and you really don't see problems - I am leaving this thread.
I should say in NFS U/U2 there is no such stupid maps. Why stupid maps should be in NFS SA?
