Hi,

I've been working on the creation of a new map for a while, and it's getting close to final version. It has 13 jumps and a difficulty of:
Soldier: High T5
Demo: No intended route, but probably around T3

I'm looking for some jumpers to test the map: to give some thoughts on individual jumps, the difficulty curve and possible cheats.
I'm going to add some more detailing as well. Hoping to release the final version in a week or two, so it would be nice if people could play the map before then

Current version: final

Jumps should be clear without an explanation, but here's the descriptions anyway:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

1: speedpogo into ramp into rampsync
2: stella 14 cheat: telesync into (good) wallsync into rampshot + wallshot
3: sync ss into jurf into 180 strafe
4: wallbug 4x sync (in water)
5: double ss into (speedy) rampsync into wallshots
6: pdidey last edit: speedy jurf into wallshots
7: wallshots into 2x into wallshot(s) into 3x into wallshots
8: wallshot, skip into 3x rampsync into upwards sync into double/triple catch or go all the way with a good triple
9: prefire, 3x jurf sync, 3x on floor (ctap recommended for 1st jump)
10: 2 crouched ceiling bounces into 2 ramp doubles and a triple on floor
11: triple ss into diagonal drop eb 4x
12: double prefire into auto eb 4x crouched bounce into 6x with prefires (ctap 5x also possible)
13: ss into ramp 2x into water 2x into wall 2x into wall 2x

jump 3 is completely out of place in difficulty and feel and it's cheatable. personally i'd make it a bonus

the clip on the left wall of jump 7 (after the wallshot) killed my strafe, could you change it to nonades?

jump 8 i had no idea how to go high enough from a triple, i had to do it with a telesync to a ramp quint. (edit: i was doing the wrong thing, whoops)

jump 10 is the most confusing thing ever, i don't like it at all. i dont really understand what its doing on the map, it feels so out of place

jump 11 might be a bit annoying if the edgebug fails as you have to do 3 speedshots again, not much you can do about that i guess

jump 13 the ramp is so steep it feels really strange, i'd make the ramp shallower and closer to the speedshot so it feels a bit smoother

Triple speed shot into an edgebug? That seems a bit cruel.

updated from a2 -> a4
changelog:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

- overall: added some detailing, increased spookiness
- jump 3: changed 2nd half of jump, jump is now: sync ss into 2x sync into wallshot into wallsync
        I might change this because it's too similar to jump 2
- jump 4: made the floor shootable for stickies so the jump is doable for demoman
- jump 4: added wallbug sign
- jump 7: changed the back wall from clipping to nogrenades
- jump 9: added prefire sign
- jump 10: removed jump
- jump 10: made new jump: 2 crouched bounces into 2 ramp doubles and a triple on floor
- jump 12: put 2nd sync platform slightly lower to give the player more time to sync
- jump 13: put ramp 64 units closer (making it less steep made it too hard to get a water sync)

@Starkie, thanks for the feedback. Is there a way to make it more clear what you are supposed to do on jump 8?

@League, the edgebug is automatic, so it shouldn't be that bad.

I'm going to be adding more detailing in the next week, if you want to voice your opinion on the various jumps, be sure to do it soon.

[LJ]

changelog a5 -> a6

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

jump 3: removed wallshot at the end since it's just as easy to do it without one
jump 3: added 180 sign
jump 7: removed jump because I didn't like it, added new jump
jump 9: made slightly easier
jump 11: added teleport to get you back to the top of the sync if the auto eb fails but you do get an okay sync
jump 12: made bounce work better with a good sync and worse with a bad sync
jump 12: made the setup for the 2nd sync slightly different to reduce rng
jump 12: lowered end platform so it's more doable without ctaps

Probably not going to change the jumps anymore except for minor things.

[Starkie]

jump 3: that strafe is really bad, you get punished by going really far and high from the jurf by having the strafe be impossible

[LJ]

Released final unless I broke something

changelog a6 -> final

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

- jump 3: improved spacing
- jump 12: changed spacing: first sync is harder now but it is the only way of not punishing the player for getting a perfect sync (do the first sync by holding m1 as your crosshair goes over the middle of the yellow platform or a bit earlier with higher ping)
- jump 12: second sync is made easier
- other minor things

If I did break something please let me know.
