The blandness of DMs now

[Mecha]

Lets have a look at a DM you find regularly now:

Uses tier+tactical (Despite it being pretty damn good)
Mostly TDM (again, a good mod.)
Modern warfare themed
Map is too big
Most engagements are 1 on 1
bland
nothing that makes it unique

Sad, isn't it?
Come on. This is blockland. Not counter-strike. we can do more than make maps.
Where did the creativity go?
We used to have GOOD dms. Hectic. Fast. Fun.
Come on guys.

At least I can still create a unique DM (see deathmatch royale and LT_Derezz

I'm not sure how you could group people up? How do you stop the 1 on 1.

I guess someone could make a mod that would force groupies to stay within a range of the squad leader.

I start working on a new gametype for Blockland, Bedlam In Blockland, I started the map, but never got it done. It was like a TTT knockoff. I also tried making an air assualt/defense TDM, but I never finished it.

Don't complain, just don't join the stuffty ones. Try joining ones like Taboo's or something.

Or make the maps a decent size.

As in, not gigantic.

Nah, the mapsize causes that.

I tend to like fort wars in a small map, if they are run properly and contain few spammy builds. I have seen perhaps two of these.

The problem starts with the map, moves to the weapons, and then to the players.

If a DM does not work well, first look at the map.
If you can find no error (which is nigh impossible but I'll humour your ego), move to the weapons.

If you can find no error (which is equally if not more impossible considering the kind of weapons we have (i.e weapons that aren't mine)), blame the players.

I suggest mass bannings.


Overall, though, most DMs and TDMs are just carbon copies of each other with no interesting qualities and maps that vomit could be compared favorably to.
I feel like we have this conversation often.

Thats why I try to make my DMs unique.
LT_Derezz and LT_Fortvoid - So damn small it's hectic as forget
CTF_Parkour - Kinda obvious
Deathmatch royale - so many little Dms crammed together

People need to add more mechanics to their DMs. (I made my friend put an avalanche that kills everyone on round end, and it can be triggered without ending the round like in lime core)

Screw everything but shotguns and machine guns then.

By "not gigantic" he didn't mean so tiny that sniper rifles proved useless.
Also, I hope to make a decent tdm map which should make my tdm an original one.

If you can use sniper rifles, it has to be pretty crowded for team fights.

you've obviously never been on my server.

One of the few good servers. If you get enough semi-intelligent people on your team then it's awesome.
