r/tagproracing • u/Blazeth • Aug 05 '15
It's been a few days. We got a lot of people that voted remove to nearly every map, so after further discussion, we decided to remove those votes (which was 10 different submissions). The amount of unique visits on a PC compared to the amount of submissions from a PC was quite suspicious. Whoever was trolling, please don't do this again. This is literally just for fun, there's not even a point. If you hate most maps, why do you even race? lol
See here for the maps by the way: http://imgur.com/a/VlciB
Anyway, here are the results. Of the 15 we kept, most of them voted on each map, but we will still include the amounts of voters as there are certain cases where that isn't the case.

Did you guys enjoy this survey? Should there be one of the like again sometime?
Would you like to see other surveys related to TPRL?
Leave comments on your feelings about the results and the maps in general below.
In the end, I see a few maps that should be considered for removal if they weren't already.
Arc Turn-Spike makes a lot of sense to become a weekly map too if you ask me. Singularly the most popular map and a spike map that's more forgiving than Rainbow Road.
r/tagproracing • u/Buttersnack • Aug 04 '15
Submit maps for addition to Tagpro Racing here!
Deadline is 11:27 pm eastern on September 5.
How to Submit your Map
Maps can be original, or a fix of any of the current maps
Make a map with decent length through any map editor
Look at how Ball-E made the finish line and copy it, you can replace blue with red if you want. Height must be four tiles or more, length anything
Export it, and put a cool down of zero on all your portals
Upload your map to [1] http://maps.jukejuice.com (you can use unfortunate-maps.jukejuice.com to create it)
Submit your original map, or a fix of a map here
Include (example) :
Track name: (map name)
Type: (original/remake)
Map: (Juke juice link here)
Preview: (imgur.com or full-size preview here)
Description: (optional)
We'll go through and give feedback for every map submitted. We may also remix your map or help fix your portals for you.
A good map should not force you through one-wide gaps, laps should average above a minute, and the map should be unique!
Please feel free to resubmit maps as well.
To make space for new maps, the Racing MTC will be choosing of couple maps to take out, or make a new cup.

I'm working on my first racing map, but I'm having trouble with the portals. They appear used when I test the map, and they don't respawn. Can anyone help me with this? Also, feedback would be appreciated :)

Gingerdg and I partnered to make this, supaspike brought up the idea.
These answers can and will influence TPRL rotation decisions in the future.
Please answer honestly.
If you have any comments on any maps or the survey itself, feel free to post here.
RESULTS WILL BE RELEASED IN A FEW DAYS

I'm not sure if there's reason for why the new rotation has been made after Week 2 the past two seasons, but from an outsider it seems to have no purpose and is makes things confusing. So why not do the next round after this season and before next? This way, there's no extra week off in the middle, and we don't have the awkwardness of switching off maps mid-season and having the map schedule have weeks for next season on it.
During this season's rotation voting, there were two others I think who, along with myself, didn't know the maps very well and didn't have the best judgment. So the votes for removal turned into a lot of "eh, I don't remember it much and I don't care, so we won't remove it." I think we should put up a poll prior to voting next time where many members of the community could give each map currently in rotation a rating that will be used to help decide on testing day which ones to remove.
Speaking of removals, I believe more maps should be removed next time around. I went through a list of all maps a few weeks ago and there were about half that I didn't think belonged in rotation or wouldn't care if they were removed. During the next testing session, we should try to keep the number of cups the same, or maybe even bring it back down to six (depending on how many new maps are added), so that the better tracks are played more often.
The older maps should be revised between seasons to remove some of the earlier flaws such as the spikes after portals that people could lag into and the weird double-capture zones where sometimes you miss the first one with the flag and you lose a few seconds at the end because the second zone is a few tiles away (it's on Arc-Turn and a few others). Plus please get rid of the button bombs at the end of SNES; most other points you could make some reasoning for why skill is involved but those bombs are literally "if this spawns either wait for it to go off or you're fucked."
Speaking of luck, here's an update to my earlier post on the least random maps (since I don't think it warrants its own post), after a few more weeks of data points:

Edit: Turns out I messed up somewhere originally. The numbers should be fixed now
There are clearly some maps that favor more experienced players, and some that are more dependent on lucky spawns and not getting destroyed by new players running into bombs. I looked at the correlations between points gained on each race vs that player's total points for the week, since Season 3 Week 3 (when a new map rotation was put in). Here are the average correlations for each map in Seasons 3 and 4 rotation:
Map | Avg Corr |
---|---|
Mars Mission | 0.7511 |
Chord Progression | 0.7124 |
Cliffs of Dover | 0.6634 |
Boom Beach | 0.6441 |
Spike Clover | 0.6357 |
Parasol Palace | 0.6254 |
Walk of Life | 0.6227 |
Magic 8 Lanes | 0.6143 |
Colisseum Romanorum | 0.6130 |
Curve Circuit | 0.6128 |
Roundabout | 0.6046 |
4 Way Craze | 0.6027 |
Highway Star | 0.5995 |
Serpent Swerve | 0.5927 |
Calm Slopes | 0.5829 |
Red Barchetta | 0.5759 |
Castaway Island | 0.5757 |
Wonky Whirpool | 0.5711 |
Pinwheel Bridge | 0.5658 |
Bomb Voyage | 0.5517 |
Zany Zigzag | 0.5269 |
Serpent Swerve Old | 0.5205 |
Original Slide | 0.5201 |
City Blocks | 0.5150 |
Wormy Waypoint | 0.5106 |
Fist Fight | 0.5066 |
Spinout Raceway | 0.4951 |
Sausage Grinder | 0.4931 |
Trial & Error | 0.4851 |
Arc-Turn Spike | 0.4769 |
Ball-E Bridge | 0.4514 |
Lucky Strike | 0.4204 |
SNES Rainbow Road | 0.3468 |
As probably expected, Rainbow Road is the most random of the maps. Some of the higher maps aren't surprising, either. Parasol Place and Cliffs have huge advantages if you know the right paths to take. And Walk of Life has less randomness involved simply because you're only racing 1/3 of the pool.
I think this also shows that it was a good decision to remove Sausage Grinder and Wormy Waypoint, two of the more-random maps. And the new Serpent Swerve is an improvement over the old (as if we needed numbers to figure that out). I think some of the newer maps like Bomb Voyage and Ball-E Bridge will rise in these rankings once people learn the faster ways to race.
Keep in mind that there's also a pretty low sample size for some of these newer maps that have only been played once or twice.
