Freeze Island

[Yesh (DoodleBob91)]

Herro, I think I say this for a lot of people You should REALLY take out Freeze Island! It's probably the worst map on the servers, the games take forever to end and people just run for ages on the ice. Also the map doesn't even look that nice. So yeah just wanted you to know my opinion on that :3

Apparently the staff have a good reason for having added Freeze Island and, thought I don't know what it is, I trust that their reason makes sense and is worth having the map for.
I personally don't find it that annoying. The ice battles may drag on longer than water battles, but I think they are also a lot easier and in some cases more fun.

:3 I can second that :3

Worst map ever

Everyone has their own opinions. I don't like it that much either but I don't think it should be kicked out.

One of the reasons the staff chose to add Freeze Island and Demon's Breeze was to decrease the amount that Breeze Island was played. To dilute the water, as it were.
Though I have noticed it made little difference, with the new voting system this is no longer needed.
I know and understand that Breeze Island will certainly never be removed though I much prefer Demon's Breeze and would rather that one be the only Breeze, they no longer need Freeze Island as it is a rather sub-par map with a few nice builds but overall rather unoriginal.

I voiced my opinions of this map on my most recent video. In short, I agree that it should see the dump.

As stated before in this thread, the chases last quite a bit longer then they really should (even longer than water battles.) Because Minecraft isn't on par with what it was back in 1.2.5 where you would get hits on a person if you were actually swinging on them, I find that quite a few of my hits that should be hitting while I'm on the ice simply aren't. This results in extremely long battles, and I know I'm not the only one who is suffering from this problem. I was able to pull of a 9 - 10 minute long chase in my first Freeze Island video. The guy wasn't able to hit me at all, and his arrow shots weren't hitting either mostly because it's tricky to time arrows with the boosted ice speed.

Anyways, the servers seem to try to cut down match lengths (added 3 player deathmatches, got rid of most of the large maps, etc), so I'm surprised this map was added even after testing.

Also, in no way am I bashing the design. The designer didn't do a bad job with what was asked, as I do know an icey Breeze Island was suggested a couple of times before this map was created.

Now that I read this I agree. But it shouldn't be removed, Maybe edited a bit without a ton of ice.

Yeah I agree, perhaps changing the ice to snow and keeping the ice in a select few places.
