Just upload the maps when you have time
Tyvm Gouxim & NADEO.

Try to do it correctly as it already failed at least 5 times in the last months. The community would appreciate it.

By the way, it's still in discussion but we may limit the mappack of the Ubisoft Gold lobby to the two most "used" mappacks of the community in the short-term (like Go4 and Parangon or CPlay).

We are at a maximum reasonable number of maps for a match server (i think). We'll tell when we'll take the decision

If you dont want too many maps, take CPLAY + Paragon, and it will be okay, all links have already been given

Stick to the topic guys! It's about bugs, not maps!

I think the shootmania community still has a lot to learn from that. We have tried to show some ideas, like the Maps of the week lobby, but without too much success for now.

Completely agree with that but the comparison to trackmania maps is a bit odd. In Trackmania there are different maps for each league so everyone is forced to play on a different map and learn it. In SM just 20% of maps are new in each rotation (and being honest, the least played maps) and others maps are remakes offering just a single or 2 movement capabilities (or even the same). This has a name: IMMOBILITY

There's like a non written rule to keep old maps in the mappack and add 2 or 3 new. I think this should be different. Keep 2 or 3 old and add new maps, dont be affraid of diversity! Yea I know, we will only see 2-3 maps in competitions but it's the only way to stop playing same maps. Sometimes I feel i'm playing dust2 again and again. Some days I played 20 matches and 15 of them were calypso. random blocks everywhere, one tp, one jumper, pole, bridge, mountain pls

It's about bad matchsettings ^^

New maps are introduced too fast to mappacks, that's why most players have negative opinions.

I still prefer old maps from beta stages, cause they were/are good, without useless pillars etc.

Nobody at the office thought : "lets fix this before the weekend."?

What about penalties? 30s doesnt really feel like a penalty.
I blink with my eyes and the penalty is over

In other games its 30minutes-1hour or even a full day. I recommend having the minimum penalty @ 5min at least.

Why increase the penalty time? Because every 2 matches somebody leaves and it takes away all the fun and makes it unbalanced. "Leaving" can EASILY be solved, by just adding more penalty-time.

Let's talk about bugs again !
A very strange bug that didn't happened for a long time : When matchmaking sends me to a match, i also stay in lobby
So while i'm playing my match, there's "another me" waiting in the lobby for a match. As "I" am ready, i'm send to another match but i do not appear in this new match and i get suspended in the lobby and people start playing a 2v3.
I know this bug thanks to people playing with the "other me", seing me suspended/ready in the lobby while on another matchmaking server.

I suppose this is why i'm sometimes suspended when i comeback to the lobby after playing a match.

EDIT : After playing as a match as substitute, when i comeback to the lobby -> "We're sending you back to the match you left"
