Maze as game mode?

[Villyer]

Im sure it has been suggested before, but im just making sure.

I think it would be a good idea to add mazes as a game mode (like team deathmatch and assault)

The mode would consist of only one team, which can go up to 10, or 2 teams and its a race to the end, with the average of everyones time to determine the winner

Then mazing could become more of a game than the hobby it is now.

Tell me is it has been suggested before, or comment on the idea if it has not.

That would be pointless..
Because when the maze maps are servered, they'd get boring after playing them over and over again.
I say no.

Add a poll.

This idea wouldn't work because, maze maps have diffuculties, and unless you set a difficulty for different mazes, some might not be able to do them.
Also, this would be pretty pointless since you can't get points from mazes and you could just host a maze in custom.

Been suggested before, I support it.

You also need to add a poll, or the suggestion will be shot down, after the poll hit's 15 "yes" votes, it get's moved to official suggestions.

And where did he say you cannot add difficulty into it?
And when you host in custom, all you get is idiots hooting, in maze game mode, you most likely wont have guns or health.

Worst Idea Ever. Will be bad for some pawngame users.

But why not try adding Digmaps? Dig maps would be god for pawngame. Wouldn't it?

The mazes may get old, but its better than the junk mazes that are usually being hosted nowadays. And for the difficulity, they can be listed from easiest to harders, or have a (E) in from of easy mazes, and so forth.

And how would i add a poll to this? im new to the forums

I'm asking brohana on IRC to add a poll for you. :P


And yeah, some mazes are so awesome, but a lot aren't now a days.

[Villyer]

thanks

and i still think that adding some sort game to mazes would be cool, a race to the finish type thing

It's not that I don't like mazing, that's not it at all. I'd love to see mazing become more official!
It just seems like it would be too hard to implement and I'm sure it'll be very easy to abuse.

The fact is, the majority of people.. CAN'T maze.. Most people don't even know what mazing is! D:
Most of these 'severed' maps would still have to be easy and lame, because only a very small percentage of people actually play 'pro' mazes.

If you're sick of all the horrible mazes are hosted (I agree with you there), I suggest you have a look at this thread (http://www.pawngame.com/forum/showthread.php?t=91536). It's got a whole bunch of good and hard mazes made by several different people.

If a maze map was server ed wouldn't that make it a ladder game
and if you got killed your k/d would go down and its like padding :(

But thats just it. If we can open up mazing to everyone, than more people will learn, and a new variety of mazes will be opened. Right now, only those good mazers make mazes, and then bad mazers cant do them, so then they invent horrible mazes and the good mazers get annoyed. Nobody wins. But if somebody who has never heard of mazing saw mazes as a game mode, they will probably try it out, learn to maze, and a whole new generation of mazers will be born, who can then make good mazes of their own, to be submitted and added to the public mazes. Then everybody wins.


To sum it up:
Now- few can maze + mazes out there bad = more bad mazes and less skill
If maze as game mode- more open to mazes + better mazes im server = more people learning and more good mazes
