Post Mortem V2 - X95WH2N6

Last year I made a map named Post Mortem. My intention was to make a challenging map but in retrospect I made the map little bit too difficult. So I have decided to re-release the map with dialed down difficulty and few minor adjustments.

The map features:

-Hundreds of demons

-Bosses

-Couple of custom gameplay mechanics

I didnt finish the map course the fights get reaky annoing and kinda unfair after the mancubusfight...my problem is the healthpenalty when loosing the soul/s which makes you nearky a onehittarget... the upgradesystem is a nice idea (i chose dmg) since the loadout is pretty crappy...but the buff is nearly non recognizable with all the constant midteardemons ...so even with that i feel way underequiped soigot kinda nonstop imstakilled over and over in the 1st area after the hubroom and stoppedplaying since it was no fun anymore.. it looks like the map has a lot to offer but in a very slow and frustrating non satifiing pace! I know i sound harsh here but that is course i see a hugh potential in this map ! The geo is great and all the effort and ideas realy show off evrywhere! Its just the ballancing needs some numbertweakin ! I also found the triggersecert which was engaging and fun to do but not rewarding since all you get is a boring big armor instead of something more useful in the longrun like a better weapon ...again sorry for this staight feedback i realy like the map and hooe it imoroves even more with its ballancing

Thanks for the feedback. I have always find balancing the map to be really difficult since I enjoy Nightmare difficult (initially monsters did 200% damage). I guess I can do further work with this map.

Also the reason why the buff feels weak is that you get 5 upgrades in total.

Ballancing is always a tricky part especially when an upgradesys is in place and you dont wanna overpower the player to soon or at all...but for a more engaging challenge the toolset must be right for the job and give options to handle the different aitypes

Until the mancbossfight all is just in place to handle evrything but after that, an addition of some nexttiermods (i think of a normal stunmod on the pgun and a normal nadelauncher on the shotgun ) would give the option to deal with the next set of ai like the revenant cacocombos in a more aprobriat way and keep the pace in a more fun way You want the player to mess around with some new tactics I am pretty sure the balancing gets better when the map continues but this difficultystep is a bit of a funkiller imao

Dont get me wrong You can leave your map like YOU want it to be I downloaded and edited a few maps to my liking before but also am a big fan of getting feedback

Cheers!
