Give the removed death tag maps a second chance

I believe most of the removed maps had some potential, and many players seem to agree with me,
They might need a bit of tweaking, but i think it wouldn't hurt to try and put them back on the server and see the players' reactions to them.

Waste land: the most recently lost map, it was a perfectly fine map until the Game insights team thought it was too big, so a big portion of the map was blocked off. it really deserves to be put back in the game, with that portion of the map opened up again like it was from the beginning.

Enclosed library: Another great map removed, the reason may have been the size of the map, some thought it was small, but I (and many others) think it was fine, and should be brought back, the only negative thing i can think of is the anvils in the middle of the map, which is not a big deal, so it deserves a chance.

The 2 other maps (Mayan ruins and Shiro) I'm not sure about, I don't remember Mayan ruins being particularly bad, so i'd like to see it again.
and lastly Shiro, i don't think this one should be brought back, unless it gets remade or a big portion gets blocked off, because that's the reason it got removed, the size was too big for a death tag map.

 

If maps were removed there is a reason. I made a map recently and it got rejected because there were a few things that needed to be fixed. I'm sure if they were removed because of small errors that needed to be changed, the map creators would get the chance to make edits and re-submit.

 

Hello! I want to give you a link to the official Mineplex Map Database here. An explanation of what this information is can be found on this thread made by Dutty, the current Build Lead. You can see on the spreadsheet on the "Removed Map Databse" tab that all three maps you mentioned ("Waste Land", "Enclosed Library" and "Mayan Ruins") were removed for the reason "Poor Gameplay". This is likely due to decisions made by either the build team or the Game Insights community discord and official Game Insights players. Learn more about Game Insights here.

You briefly mentioned reasons you thought the map might have been removed and fixes to them, but unfortunately without knowing exactly what "poor gameplay" meant to each individual map, there aren't fixes we can propose. There are 13 active maps for Death Tag and only 3-4 removed, so I think there is plenty of variety currently available.

I do understand the nostalgia, but it is likely a better use of builder time to create new maps for this gamemode.

 

To be honest, I didn't think there was even a fanbase for death tag to begin with.

I mean, I'm glad there is -- I just didn't know it existed

 

There is a fanbase for pretty much every game, or at least there used to be.

 

I understand, I know 3 of the 4 maps had the reason "poor gameplay" for removal, but I'm sure that's not really the case for one of them, Waste land was a perfectly fine map, it only had poor gameplay after they made the decision to minimize the map (even though the size of it was fine), so I don't see any other reason it shouldn't be brought back as it was from the beginning (with map exploits fixed, there's already a version of it fixed).

This map was removed recently, and I don't think it was for a good reason. so the build team should consider bringing it back.

Sorry if this sounds unreasonable, I don't want to sound ungrateful for the other maps the build team puts out, i love those, but I also liked waste land.

 

I'd love to at least see Wasteland again (and with the blocked part open again), that map was great.
Mayan Ruins was great too, although a lot may disagree with me.
Enclosed Library was okay, it was just too small.
And Shiro was way too big: It's literally an Archer's dream come true.
