Horrible map rotation in high tiers

[_interceptor_80]

When this will be fixed?

[elblancogringo]

What do you mean by horrible map rotation? There is nothing wrong wi th the rotation, we just need more maps for more variety. That's the problem.

There are so many premium ships coming, I'd love if WG could stop developing premiums for a month or two, and focus on new map creation.

Its really horrible rotation like 4 battles and I get 3 of same map (Tears of the Desert) and some other things like endless Heaven map etc.

Let's face it, the map rotation is so horrible, because most high tier maps are so horrible.

 

Also E-peen-center needs to get removed from the game.

it's called random. deal with it.

Make all maps T VIII+ be ocean, problem fixed 

 

On a more serious note, i do agree that despite "random rng" a new map or two would do great, and if the possibility of making the same map be impossible to get 3+ times in a row would be implemented, that would be great.

Play other tiers and get different maps … and epic-center is kinda rare these days so it's almost like I miss it sometimes … I also almost ran the London Marathon … almost

Yeah, but it's a random choice based on the roll of a 6 sided die.

 

It would be so much better if the map rotation were based on the roll of a 20 sided die. Or a pair of percentile dice.

This^^^
There are like 18 tier 10 maps, of which Ocean is a rare one, so 17. A Random Battle consists of 24 people, so some people are going to have the same map with such small variety.

Though I do think they have a different team for the maps and ships. Currently they are adding a map so now and than to see how it works out.

I get North / Northern Lights in about 80% of the games. Yesterday i got 5/5 in N. Lights in same spawn side. Damn it was a boring night

They have to make Moar Maps lad. The reason there is so little variation is that they do not have too many maps available for tier 10 (because of increased ship speed and gun range, maps need to be bigger that at lower tiers and they just haven't made enough of them). It'll happen... One day... I hope. Perhaps...

 

So yeah, totally agree here.

I think that would be a good idea also.

6 times in a row was the maximum for me... Haven. I turned the game off and did something else after that..

[RAHJAILARI]

Yeeah @Migantium_Mashum, repetition is makes things boring and is quite bad BUT just keep in mind it could always be worse. I once got the "Ocean" map 3 times in a row, while in Mogami in a tier 10 match with 5 BB&DD's per team. Unsurprisingly, things did not go well....

 

All of the sudden, "Empire Total War" began to look like a brilliant alternative for the day so I switched and all was well...

[Migantium_Mashum]

@RAHJAILARI do you know I actually don't mind Ocean. As a DD player it is perhaps a map I enjoy playing and usually really do well on.

 

Command and Conquer Generals/Zero hour for... Kick some Chinese butts...lolz

Yeah, "Ocean" is basically OK, but in small increments only and mostly, if you are NOT playing Cruiser OR if the teams are balanced and not particularly BB & DD heavy. i do not mind it, if in a DD either, but if you are in a Cruiser you tend to get quickly and violently raped, that's all

 

Used to have Command and Conquer too, long ago, but I've transferred to Total War Series now... Have nearly all from the Historical games and waiting to see the next episode: "3 Kingdoms, Total War" with quite some enthusiasm, in fact. I have played the KOEI's "Romance of 3 Kingdoms" for nearly 25 years from version 1 up to 13 and had always hoped that there would be a Total War version available.

 

Meanwhile just watching the Drama series just to wet the appetite (and it's working dammit). Link to first episode below, if anyone's interested:

Yeeah, I admit it. I am a sucker for history...

The very first one with many small islands (and a couple of big ones) on both sides and none in the middle? I liked that too. Dunnoh why they removed it.

I have never seen that one, but sure sounds different from having 3/4 caps somewhere in the middle between a bunch of islands. Usually the game makes me think of this:

[RAHJAILARI]

Yeah @BLUB__BLUB, it was a looong time ago and gameplay on that map was quite fun. I played mostly DD's at the time tho but usually the DD's and cruisers went on the map edges, playing pika-boo in-between the islands on both sides and trying to flank, while BB's dueled at the middle where it was more open with a couple of DD's from both sides patrolling the middle and trying to torp them and each other. Plenty of ambush opportunities on and whichever side managed to control one or both the flanks usually won.

 

In domination mode D was behind 2 large islands, but completely open from both sides, C was in the islands but quite open B had a central island and A was inside the small bunch of islands on the other side. There was a quite large archipelago between D and around C cap next to those 2 big islands separating D from C, where you could skulk around hunting each other, expecting a torp salvo from behind every island.

 

Ahhh, those fun days... Oh yeah, why babble? I have a picture!

Of course, as you can see. D was acting as the "Noob trap" cap back them days.

[BLUB__BLUB]

Seems a lot more interesting to me. I'd rather have something like this (made it bigger, and ff-ed around with it).

That looks like an amazing map....

I liked it anyhow, but it used to be more open in the middle at first. No islands at B cap, they were added later. Lots of fast close range action and not much point in camping because you just could not see targets from behind all the islands.

 

A very good map for Cruisers and DD's... Less appealing for the BB, I guess.

You mean it might stop them camping? Or even, God forbid, making them more active in defending gains and allies...

I think that would be sweeeeeeeeettt and I'm a BB main. However I hate camping, its a battleship, not a pillbox. 

I'd also welcome submarines. Let me have  go at the maps and you'll see no more camping Bbs for sure. 

 

I'd change more stuff too. You'd not get bases, but have something like 'submarine pen' or 'harbour'. 

And you'd not get caps but islands with factories and such.
