Howdy folks! I'm here to announce we will be resuming SCC map testing this Sunday!
For those who don't know what the SCC is, (that's "Spark Crafter Collective") we are a group that plays games on new maps for ns2, every Sunday. We haven't met for a long time, but with some exciting maps on the horizon, we felt it would be a great time to revive it.
So join us Sundays at 7pm GMT/3pm EST/12PM PST for ns2_origin, ns2_ayumi, and of course any other maps currently in development.

The spark crafter server could really use an upgrade tho, or reduced slots.
It's really laggy, when full, and hallucinations make it even worse.
So I've heard. I'm looking into solutions for this, stay tuned!
Howser, Flaterectomy, Vetinary (or so)?
Good old times with Sunday map testings.
Btw. Beige can u give me a maptester badge?
Psychoman is back (maker of ns2 summit, disappeared for like 3-4 years, and is now back), Loki is... loki I guess... nobody really knows (
For fucks sake
Yes I am here, hello.
Afaik Loki will be there. Flat reacted to the announcemnt in discord, so I guess he'll be there at least this sunday.

Sure! Can you make it to the playtests on Sunday? That always helps. We try to prioritize testing maps of the people who show up.
Also, side note: you should really include the map overlay on the steam page so we can see the layout.
When was this?
It was on March 18
I can't tell you exact time, somewhere in the morning. Maybe about 11-12AM GMT Shitty Twitch doesn't show exact records time
Check it out
It was not from the beginning. Examples from 23:35 as Fade, from 30 minutes till the end I was playing commander.
You can see permanent red-yellow heart and warping marines
PS I am playing from Russia, Moscow
That was before Sunday, there was an issue on the server that I believe is fixed now. We played on Sunday and it felt fine. Please let me know if there are any more issues discovered since then.
Maptesting was an official UWE role, much like playtesting is now. Unfortunately it's not been active for some time.
ns2_eclipse_redux
round 1
round 2
Also, we don't have a map thread for ns2_stag either!!! ( @The_Welsh_Wizard get on it!!!
ns2_stag
round 1
round 2
Here's my POVs from today on ns2_eclipse_redux. Just one round, but I forgot to record the beginning, but managed to catch it with shadowplay... so it's in two parts.
Thanks for recording these as always.

"Eclipse is gonna get rushed"... man that was a great distraction. Shame we didn't win, even though Meph carried hard
edit: The Triad/Access Alpha/East pressure was so annoying. Our team was constantly tied up elsewhere and no one went left at all, despite me constantly calling it out. I think they are a little too accessible. Maybe the vent from East to Alpha should be removed?
