yes, but I was surprised to faced a sabre when I ran up there for some shield
its a good idea, though. Still I hope the NL server isnt being changed soon coz Lost Temple is simply the Place to be for me
edit: I just thought about maybe more balanced light in matrix.... models seem to be very dark here, but the center of the rooms is very bright. _______________ One of the Belouve boys, founder of the mighty FiZZsters Midbie council #20 - Fizz - #1933 - Jan '03 - Aug '04 "Renfield, you idiot!"

Damon and I used some of the up-stairs hallways for tight space training. No one ever goes up there (usually.) _______________ One of the Belouve boys |

I've played on almost every map the academy has used. And probably heard almost every suggestion for improvements from moving platforms to a room for people to lounge around. Here's what I think the academy really needs:
A simple layout various rooms to simulate multiple conditions Something that doesn't make people lag horribly The current academy has those things. Its a compact place so you don't spend an hour trying to find another player. And when you die you don't take 20 minutes to get back to the room you were in. You also won't get lost in the place. That something that can get frustrating. The rooms do simulate many game situations, especially the pit room and pillar room. I like how the pit room is now. This is a place to learn how to fight and survive the situations. Not every plank in the game is a death trap, so not being killed from falling off is good and a learning method. Now you don't have to spend time running back to the pit room to learn to survive on a narrow area everytime you fall off and die. About the only thing I can think of for an improvement is an corridor room narrow with wall and a decent amount of a jumping room. I say corridor room to point out the difference from it and the regular corridors. Others might get kind of mad if people are dueling in the hallways to get to the rooms and that is an actual occurence in the game. tight confined spaces _______________ When you are going through Hell, keep going. -Sir Winston Churchill.

I don't think I was around long enough to appreciate the old map. The new one is pretty cool. I once saw a map (forget which one now) that had bedrooms, a bar (which served bacta cannisters), and a disco. I think something like that would be cool on the next version. I also would like to see more outdoor rooms. As far as the spinning thing (don't know what its called), it looks cool, but it's a PITA to duel on.

When I first started making my map, I had a spike room in mine too. I found out quickly that the spikes were a major source of slowing down the framerates of my videocard.
Probably the single best decision that Dom made in changing the map was changing the pit. Maybe you guys don't like it as well, but I hear less crying about framerates now. _______________ Death is only the beginning. |

well, i for one miss the spikes in the pit. what is more intimidating ... falling into a shallow pool, or getting impaled on a spike? but then again, maybe just the oldies like the spikes.
i never went to the lost temple too often, and it WAS a major pain to get out of, so i'm not so sad about it not being there. but i'm not a big fan of the carousel at all. granted, if i don't like it i don't have to use it, but it just seems like un-needed eye candy. _______________ p41n pu|21ph135! |

me personally id like to see more outside area. like maybe being able to jump out the windows of the rooms. or some water so we can have underwater duels. |

Ninja has a valis point and a agree to an extent that a jedi council-ish map (or a JA version of) would be cool. All the changes in the current map are quite cool. Also this map still based on the original so people know ehere everything is. We get a new map and everyone gets confused. Stick with a working fomula. It rocks.
Also, it is one of the better maps i have seen. and i've been checking out loads of publics as well. One funky map to get though is the WoV clan map if you can find it. it is HUGE. can't remember where i got it from now. |

I miss the lost temple. ;*(
the new pit seems ok to me. but I didnt like the old one very much. The spinning pillar simply is a piece of hardcore to duel on. ITs gonna take long until we got used to that. secondly I dont get why It is that big, so you could not use the place around it, as in the old map. and I like all the other changes _______________ One of the Belouve boys, founder of the mighty FiZZsters Midbie council #20 - Fizz - #1933 - Jan '03 - Aug '04 "Renfield, you idiot!" |
