[Preston]

They are still present. Saw the imperial win one last night.

This ship you mean? The one actually in the hangar at some point in the movie unlike catwalk?

Yes I know its in the movie. But I mean come on, it just doesn't look right at all. Out of place not in a lore sense but as in map design.

 

[MaceMadunusus]

IMO it serves all the purposes of catwalk without the negatives of it. You get the verticality, additional attack and defend angles, more cover in a too open hangar, more than one access point so that it cant be camped, people on the ground can mostly shoot at people on top of the ship, etc.

I guess it's not worth fighting anyways. I'm not trying to crap on your work, just I think it looks quite bad tbh and found CW to look much much better. Atleast I like the throne changes.

 

[Derpdolphin]

Added a warning on the bridge to return to the objective, if the player ignores this warning and continues further down the bridge they will take damage.

Really.. Have to take away our fun that catwalk had purpose before to imps

Fix: Death Star

• Blocked off hanging pillars to remove timewasting places.

Put that thing back where it came from or so help me.

I will never understand people that think timewasting is fun.

 

[Deleted member 1872]

Where are the saber combat updates?

Been taking awhile for those when the changes seem pretty established at this point... but then again maybe they're not quite concrete enough yet.

 

[theNoah]

This ship you mean? The one actually in the hangar at some point in the movie

Wasn't this ship parked in a forest during the Battle of Naboo?

 

[MaceMadunusus]

Wasn't this ship parked in a forest during the Battle of Naboo?

It was yes, but its more accurate than the non-existent catwalk that was never ever there at all. Thats all i'm saying.

but then again maybe they're not quite concrete enough yet.

Exactly, you answered it yourself. Not quite ready yet otherwise they would be out.

 

[Hellion]

I will never understand people that think timewasting is fun.

Catwalk and generator room

 

[Richard Nixon]

I like new Lunarbase alot
Scarif is meh, can't really see myself playing alot here
Barely played Dxun to give an opinion but it's interesting

 

[Helix]

SWTOR Valkorion & Arcann models, please.

Penekepack V1.7.5 Replacement mod Update is Live!

 

[Helix]

• Blocked off hanging pillars to remove timewasting places.

• Blocked off upper catwalks in TIE hangar.

How I imagine Mace during these changes

Joking, nice job

 

[S o l d i e r]

The new Lunarbase looks somewhat strange and crowded. Certain objects look out of place. The revamped maps don't strike that kind of a "balance" of appearance as the old ones have. Certainly in some aspects they are aesthetically improved, but heavily disturbed in others. While there is a greater variety of textures, objects, etc. on the map they don't all fit together in the same theme. The greater amount of complex objects, like ships, isn't always so good, as they aren't properly optimised in MB2, have strange collision boxes and their textures are distorted and blurry. Certain objects also look way too bright for their environment and really stand out in a bad way, like that ship in main, while other objects and parts of the map look out of place, as they are just dropped in there into the old map and don't really fit, or are parts of the old map in the new environment. Also, those mountains outside of the main hangar look really ugly and blurry, you should place that old blue force wall on that hangar entrance to mask them. And that new screen or window at Imp spawn looks ugly when you are far away from it, as it is just black then, like there is a void of nothing behind it, and it suddenly appears when you move closer.

 

[President Bossk]

Dying to try this out. Looks good. What are your guys opinion on Dxun? Look like the best map added in a VERY long time.

 

[pelmeņu lauks]

Replace with this instead:

Edit: Thought you were talking about dotf, nvm.

 

[pelmeņu lauks]

dotf hangar took a slight fps hit with the new changes, but playable

 

[Gumba]

Dying to try this out. Looks good. What are your guys opinion on Dxun? Look like the best map added in a VERY long time.

Worse than jakku.

Scarif on the other hand seems like a really good map. A few fixes like removing the bushes and the platforms above the doors would make it one of the best mb2 maps ever

 

[Lessen]

I like Dxun a lot. I think Gumba is a wrong person who is wrong.

That being said, Dxun can feel a bit sprawling, although I think it becomes much less so once the defenders start just watching Main and paying attention to the alert flags rather than wandering anywhere, and once the attackers concentrate on the objective (especially secondary objective). I also found Dxun kind of confusing and oppressive at first, but then I got more familiar with it and now I like it a bunch.

i share the same opinion about lunarbase, theres too many boxes everywhere.

dxun is awesome! both in open and FA version of it.
