Hey guys, just wanted to let you know we're going to be updating the pictures here with some better shots. Apologies for those of you who weren't fans of the shaders!

Just keep in mind that any sort of hilly or, especially, mountainous terrain will not be able to have any development and will be basically wasted space unless you're a Dwarf. Thinking about how something will work once there are players working to do things is pivotal to creating a good map.

 

There's plenty of space to build.

You can never please everyone.

Nitpick all you want I'm sure you all will enjoy what the map is, less mountain's, more biomes, better design.

Problem is, the Dev Team and Staff Team is releasing all new changes with this map in Nexus and Rules, screwing over everything. You guys should have done a temp map and introduced these new changes slowly. But nope, had to do the dumb move. and everything that bungo said.

We did take a poll on how the community would like to transition to 6.0 and the results were overwhelming that the community didn't want a temp map and instead wanted to transition straight to the map.

I'm going to be honest, it sounds like you're trying to create a hype train for what will likely be the worst map yet. Not only will it likely be the worst map and possibly the last map LoTC will have ever have, but the "crack team" working on it is too small and consists entirely of staff nominated team members.

 

What happened to letting normal players help in map design? I for example would love to help design the map, especially the desert regions so the orcs don't get shafted like they do every map. Yet, all I ever can do is watch as the server continues to decline because the staff refuses to allow me or any other player to aid in the design of new maps. I get that you think you know what you're doing but you don't have enough people working on the map to come up with anything significant. 

 

For example, there won't be enough ruins to explore or occupy. There won't be enough variety in vegetation and rock formations. There won't be enough caves or dungeons, etc. You'll probably say there will be, but that's just going to be a flat out lie. I refuse to think anything optimistic overall because each map has been worse then the last each passing year. It's as if the staff is purposefully disregarding everything everyone has been telling them for years.

damn i hit bingo with 'drfate continues froffing at the idea of lotc shutting down' thanks bud

 

ps. if you are so determined that lotc will fail then fun fact, you can leave :wink:

ok but.. snow orcs..

[Kaiser 2347]

By Thor's beard I hope we've learned from the mistakes of this map. I have faith you guys will do good, but... idk, these screenshots don't give me hope. I hope it's functional and enjoyable to explore, and not just a pretty map.

The map's not even out yet, so I'm not going to start going off about what it's missing or what I want, etc, etc. Fact is, it's not released, so we don't know what it'll be like. Accusations that it'll be terrible are  practically unfounded. The selections for the team are great, and all of them are capable of making 6.0 something really memorable. I have full faith in you guys, and you have my respect for taking all of the hate and abuse on the chin and pulling through with your plans, despite how ungrateful this community can be at times.

Glad to hear, perhaps you could look into making half the area a savannah desert mix, might give it a fresh face than the typical scorching desert.

Yes this

can we just make a moment to appreciate how ******* impossible those slopes are? it would take you hours to traverse, and it'd be pretty much impossible to build on. just like how the trees in the first teaser had literally thousands of blocks and will be impossible to get cut down. look, don't touch.

Is this minecraft?
