Tuesday Night Tests

[AbleSir Thomas]

Tuesday Night Tests

Hello everyone and welcome to The New Tuesday Night tests event

TNT is a weekly testing event that allows forgers to play and receive constructive feedback on their maps.

After a good deal of feedback I've decided to rework TNT. 

 

How do I get my map tested?

It's simple, post a reply in the thread below as follows.

Be sure to upload the current version of the map and/or game-type you would like to test to your file-share.

Example:

Map: corrosion

Gametype: Dominion

Playercount: 12

Notes: I would like to see how the changes play

Film: Yes, I may not make it. 

 

How do I join testing?

Attendance is NOT required but It is recommended.

In order to join testing send a message the reads " inv123 " to the available hosts

Hosts: AbleSir Thomas

 

What if I don't have a map?

Testers are welcome be sure to message the host for an inv

 

When does testing start?

Testing begins at 6PM CST every Tuesday.

 

How will feedback be provided?

If you attend the testing: Feedback will be provided in the post game lobby, immediately after the game is played.

If you don't attend the test session: Feedback will be provided via PM over 343i.org within 2 days time of testing. 

Also game-play film will be available in My file-share at player request.

 

What are the rules?

(1.) Be sure to include your Xbox Live Gamertag. If you don't, then we won't be able to find you in-game to provide an invitation to the event.

 

(2.) One gameplay request per player, please. This policy will allow for more players to get tests, and prevent the lobby from running too late.

 

(3.) Be specific about player count. If you provide a range I will always use the higher number. 8 to 16 = 16

 

(4.) Please don't submit a map that has been finalized and is receiving no additional updates. We want raw, unfinished work still in the testing (or beta) stage.

 

(5.) Deadline for map admission is Tuesday at 5pm. This deadline may be announced sooner if there is a high rate of map submissions. If you are too late for the map admission deadline, you may join the event lobby for testing; at the end of TNT we will pass host to players who want their maps tested.

 

(6.) Maps must be available in your fileshare. This allows the host to quickly progress between TNT submissions.

[BeckoningZebra1]

Map: Mos Delia
Gamertag: Beckoningzebra1
Gametypes: Slayer
Player Count: 12-16

Notes: I want to make sure that the spawning plays smoothly with the map, and just check overall gameplay on the map.

[IR3CON]

Map: Fairy Tomb
Gamertag: IR3CON ST34LTH
Gametypes: Mancer (Flood)
Player Count: 12
Notes: Fairy Tomb is a name of a submarine that has sunk to the depths of the sea. Using the new underwater glitch, I made a map that fits the foggy scenery. The map is an indoor map, but it does have outdoor sections which are just there for aesthetic views. As well that, there are pressure rooms too. Once inside the pressure room, your shields will decay and if they drop half way through, it will take 1 hit to kill you. The way to beat this map is find a holdout room or hide if that is your tactic. There is also a small Easter egg in form of a fish. Or something that looks like a fish. Quite easy to find.

[Drizzy_Dan]

I'm going to try to join tonight but I will be quite late

[MCPO Mayh3m]

Darn. I would love to participate, but as of right now my schedule is stuffed. Maybe when things free up a bit I will join you in some.

[URBAN B0BCAT]

I'm sad that I missed this lobby yesterday.  It sounds like you had a full set of maps to test without me though.  Regardless, you're on my calendar for next week.  Map info below:

 

Update:  I've removed my map for testing next week because I was able to test with a couple different lobbies last night.  After receiving some pretty solid feedback, I know that I still need to work out some fairly substantial changes to the bases.  In addition, I have frame-rate issues that need to be addressed.  I'll still try to make it to the lobby in order to help you all out, but I doubt that I'll be ready for testing a new version by then.  Danke!
