Narrator's Paper - Issue 2
You know that feeling when you were tracking a map's development for a long, long, long, long, long...(3 years later)...long time, and then you see that it's finished. You excitedly download it, only to say this after playing: "I wasted 3 years of my life waiting for THIS?!" Now we pay attention to some maps that ARE good, but did not give everything that was promised. NOTE: I don't mean to insult anyone with this.
(no particular order)
-Whispers in the Dark by Grievous1
While a really innovative map with good terrain, it didn't give everything that was expected. A couple Youtube videos appeared, showing that the map will have a full storyline, campaign and co-op, but it came out as a survival Multiplayer mini-game with hard pathfinding and bosses. Play the map. You WILL like it, but it's a little bit disappointing if you followed its full development.
-DotA by IceFrog
Like you don't know why.
-Dreamscape by Yayoi
Not many people know about this campaign. It was a long and active development, with a great idea: you could post your dream, and it would be implemented into the map. Completely random. Somewhere in October, a bad Beta was released, later to be really inactive, until it became dead. I know because I was part of the project.
-Arcadia by De.Facto
I was tracking this from the beginning. From the first screenies, it looked epic. But, when I finally played it, only thing I liked is the Terrain. Puzzles are very hard and the story doesn't make much sense. This IS a good map, but disappointing.
Now, this is just my opinion. If you saw your map here, don't be insulted or anything. This just serves as a discussion thread for maps that disappointed you.
