Rejected The Maze Runner - Insane

[WICKEDMagma]

Username: WICKEDMagma

Map name: The Maze Runner

The # of your Plot / or warp name to it: /plot visit WICKEDMagma 2

Difficulty: Insane

Number of jumps: 177 jumps & 12 checkpoints

Spoiler: Self Critique

Theme 5/5: This theme is definitely original since there are no other maps based on The Maze Runner.

Build 5/5: I put detail into every single bit of this map, including the out of bound areas. The layout of the glade is accurate. The maze is ideal. Everything you see in The Maze Runner film is on this map.

Parkour 4/5: There is a lot of variation in the types of jumps. However, I took a point off because there are a few areas in the map where the jumps are basically the same. The main areas where the parkour is repetitive is the council hall and vines, but those areas are relatively short and shouldn't feel too repetitive.

Hi, I really like this map and I wish you the best of luck. The build looks amazing, so good job on that.

I have found a few jumps to be sketchy, as I'm 99% certain these jumps below are impossible.

And, also I have found 2 very minor skips
Red = skip
Blue = Intended Path

Thank you.

I didn't realize that swimming mechanics were different in 1.8. I changed those water/lava jumps.
And I patched the two exploits.

Hello WICKEDMagma,

I regret to inform you that this map is being rejected. The theme is pretty original, there are maps with mazes in them, but no maps themed around Maze Runner. The build's interior is great! There are lots of little details that are fun to explore and look at, especially in the campsite area. The exterior isn't as appealing, but I think the interior makes up for it with all the little details.

The parkour is where this map falls short, unfortunately. The difficulty is very inconsistent, with some jumps being an easy or medium level and some fitting the difficulty at an insane. A lot of the parkour is also confusing, since it takes a weird path, and there are very few directional signs. The directional signs that do exist aren't place in spots where I didn't really need them so much. I would recommend having people test your map so that they can let you know where they need directions to keep moving on the course. There are also quite a few deceiving unmarked barriers in the parkour that were pretty annoying. I'd be on a roll just to find that I jump somewhere I thought I could, and it was unmarked. I also feel the map could redistribute the checkpoints more effectively. Generally, you want a checkpoint every 8-12 jumps or so.

Thanks for submitting this map! If you have any questions, feel free to message me here on the forums, in-game, or on Discord.
