Comments on: Empire’s Border – map restricted to Chinese server

And from what I can tell by the video, it’s the only somewhat well-designed Asian-themed map ever produced for this game…and it’s also the only region-locked Asian map. Seriously, WG doesn’t seem to know how to design a map that isn’t either “two to four chokepoints where a battle of attrition ensues” or “Sniper Duels across a wide-open area”.

I’m not saying they should take every player suggestion out there, but WG should perhaps sometimes at least READ the suggestions for new maps and if it sounds good, perhaps consider having it on the test server for a little bit to see how people react to it. If the reception is positive, then add it to the game.

A VERY vocal minority did, but the majority of them weren’t complaining about Asian maps because they’re Asian, but because WG has proven that they are completely incompetent at designing GOOD Asian maps.

I don’t think WG understands that the wiser amongst the community weren’t complaining about Asian maps because they were Asian, but because we’re tired of BADLY-DESIGNED Asian maps.

Too many Asian maps? For hecks sake, this game is called World of Tanks. I take diverse period locations to be part of the game’s theme.

This map looks awesome. I feel kind of ripped off that we don’t have it.

The game needs more maps and more rotation. Too many maps are taken down for whinging when we don’t have enough to begin with. 32 seems like a lot until you spend even a single week grinding for high tier.

I miss Dragon Valley (you know, it was NICE to have a map where hull down and agility was king.) I already miss Port (it looked freaking cool!)

Going back further to maps I’ve only seen in screenshot, Mexico sounded like it could have worked with some more effort and Savannah… there’s just not enough maps set on the African continent. Again, a load of work on art and terrain assets that they threw away altogether instead of reworking. Seems like such a waste. Montanna sounded fun.

I just counted five maps that have been discarded without rework. That’s about 13% of our variety lost and never regained.

Dammit WG, make do and mend. Too much of the throwaway capitalist about you. z: )

It seems like they spend months making these maps and take them down on a whim.

Exactly that. So far we didn’t get a single Asian map that would be any good. Limited playing areas, choke points and extreme hills and mountains. That’s what we did get.

If suddenly developers’ new approach would be to make (rework) city maps with two or three narrow streets linking the bases with inaccessible ground taking 75% of the map naturally players would complain. But of course there would be few fucking idiots out there saying people just don’t like city maps.

I don’t get it…

Please make a poll. Check how many of FTR users want this map.
Just try to change SerB’s mind about buying rights to it ;-)
I WANT THIS MAP! NOW! Please.

People don’t complain about too many Asian maps but about how all Asian maps are utter shit to play on. It’s the same story every time. It’s always extreme hills, choke points, crap objects littering the whole map and very restricted areas where the battle actually takes place.

It would be nice, for a change, to have some Asian themed map actually accessible to tanks, with less mountain peaks, limited lines of attack ending up in very few choke points and with rubbish crap “decorating” the map but effectively only getting in the way.
