The problem with the comodo map is that you need to add a ridiculous amount of anolians to make it of a density worth it. The map is too big.
And once you start putting *that many* anolians in one place, people will start doing stupid things. Lets make an example with numbers for easy math. Assume the UG map has a tile area of 300 tiles. and there is 80 anolians and 80 bathories on the map. That's like 1.8 tiles per monster. Now take the anolians map which is easilly 4x bigger, so 1200 tiles. To get the same density you would need (and I'm ruling out pests here because they give almost no exp) more than 600 monsters on the map.
Now imagine what people will do with 600 anolians on one map. It's not hard to picture! My numbers aren't accurate, but they should describe the issue.
I still think because there are players who levelled in CTUG before bathories even existed there, that there should be 2 UG maps and you pick which one to go to. (it's really not hard to do), have the npc discover a lower level to the basement, have bathories require a UG key and CT anolians require a UG and CT key. Problem, solved.
I don't level knights down there. Hell I even use my assassin to leech things down there with grimtooth. I'd do it in juperos, but apparently we were never to have the unnerfed version of juperos with instant spawn and area spawn (for map distro) and no dimiks. Make that happen and anos will be a lot less of a problem.
Prison needs to go back to no rybios. That map was soooooo good for low/mid level chars. Mobbing with firewall, its good stuff! The only place I can think of that would would come close would be stings cave, but the arclouse make that a bit of a stretch.
Reinstate HOs with higher spawn and ironfist. Arclouse are stupid monsters anyway. The spawn in HOs is so low, it's not even worth going to. Tried it last night, it was godawful.
Just put graveyard back. In 13.2 it was an unused map. In it's pre-amatsu form it was used. What else needs said?
Chiv and castle, revert those back too. Castle will go from used to unused and chiv is just sucky now.
Buff Abyss lake back up until thors surfaces at least. Bio may be a little buffed right now, but lets not forget you can't enter until 95 nontrans and nontrans chars do actually exist. there's also the timezone thing, some of us aren't able to get parties because they don't happen in our timezone, so smaller party options like AL3 are good to have.
I'd like to assume the idea is to make more maps used and appealing, rather than forcing the server to descend upon 3 maps as they did before.
So in summary
- clone UG, add anolians to one.
- make juperos 1 venatu instant spawn and area spawns in each quadrant to keep the mob distribution suitable for multiple parties.
- Put the buffed HO spawn and ironfist back in CT HO
- Put GH Prison, along with GH graveyard back to it's old version
- Revert GH castle and Chivalry too.
- Re-do the Abyss event spawns until thors comes along.
- Put in bio 3 all area spawns so that partying is viable, rather than everything dying until it eventually all respawns in the head.
