Map Category missing:

[HammerFist132]

Hello guys, I usually don't like posting stupid threads, but I hope this is not one of them.

What is missing:
Boss Fight, I was really confused when I saw that there is no such map category. Isn't it a bit unique/needed? I think really, if we have simple map (32x32) with only boss who is fighted in phases isn't "mini-game" or "rpg" strange map category for such maps? I would really like to you guys add this category, it will help many lovers of such maps (like me).

One and only, perfect HammerFist

Boss Fight? Can you list at least 10 maps that fit into this category?

 

[HammerFist132]

sorry I am having weak internet on mobile, but just enter boss in search and many will show, also diablo 3 and woa can also join this category, also I and working on some

The thing is that a map can fit into multiple categories, you can easily have a map that combines two genres fluidly.

TBH we should be able to add a list of tags that are suitable for said map.

Looks interesting, but even a 'Boss Fight' has a lot of categories as well (e.g survive 50 waves before boss arrives, access 4-5 mazes/rooms before you kill the boss, build defenses before boss arrives etc.)

Categories such as Defense/Survival, Offense, and Miscellaneous genres is already a fitting type.

well for that kind of maps is not that important because their main objective is like survive all waves or escape from maze, but some maps that have main objective to kill some boss are really needed, diablo3 maps and other I mention before. so mostly we need this where main objective is to kill some strong boss in dungeon or directly, with out many other side quests

Oh wait now I understand, maps that only let you go directly to the boss itself right? There is no actual category for that right now but it can be arranged somehow.

I remember the time where I played some maps from Aeroblyctos that is based only on boss killing:

I am sure that there would be some uploaded in the map section from the boss themed mini mapping contest not so long ago..

 

[sonofjay]

Isn't boss fights mostly fall at 'offense' genre?

 

[HammerFist132]

Imagine how many of the goes in "offensive".

 

[sonofjay]

I'm basing my reply here

But if you want to converse this way

Imagine how many of the goes in "offensive".

Then isn't boss fight can be a offense? RPG? Defense/Survival? Puzzle? Mini-game? It can also be Shooting if the theme requires it. But just like Boss Fight, RPG can be AoS, Puzzle, Defense, etc as long as you're playing a particular role.

Actually category and genre can be a pain in the ass sometimes.

So instead of making a new category that other category already covers why don't you just put it at the latter category?

Impossible Bosses... the concrete example of a boss fight..

[DESTROYER123]

Boss fight isn't a bad category.
However we need lot's of maps to put in.

 

[HammerFist132]

I was really thinked that it is needed, strange that not many others think that too.

 

[DESTROYER123]

I don't say we don't need it.
I just say we need more maps to support it.

 

[Ralle]

What's going on? I don't get this whole conversation. Do we need more categories?

 

[HammerFist132]

Have no idea, I was thinking to it is needed to we have something like "dungeon/boss fight", like what we have hero defense, td, footman freenzy and such.
My thinking is that boss fight, is much more needed/specific then footman wars/frenzy.
