I've been having some trouble with the ice spikes-themed dropper level -- I'm assuming the landing pad is a slime block covered in snow, but I can't seem to find it.
Remember the Dropper Tips book.. Sometimes, you need to take it one step at a time.
So think we found a few problems (played on multiplayer, hosted on my home PC (2-6G RAM allocated; around 30mbps dl, 3mbps up) with 2 other players; using minecraft 1.8):
Puzzle branch's 'Toggle Pillars' doesn't appear to do anything(?), also I'm not sure if we missed something in the puzzle, but that first light puzzle didn't seem to have a solution (my friend eventually tried using an auto-solver for that type of puzzle, each time stating it seemed unsolvable) - could've been something we missed, but either way it was moderately annoying to 'solve', we may just suck as those things, though.
Also, after solving the jukebox-pipes puzzle, we were all stuck in a red room, a pressure plate behind us had barriers in front, and the iron door in front of us was locked -seemed like a bug to me, as there was nothing in there (we we had to TP ourselves out)
The /give for bows in the portal-style puzzle did not work numerous times, it clears instantly as it gives (seems like a trigger-order mistake, I recommend not trying to abuse redstone trigger-order in general), it also never gave us an arrow to fire the bows; my buddy managed to fix the first few, having to use blockdata since you block us from using gm, but it happened repeatedly, which was pretty frustrating...
We were able to escape to the trees in the Adventure branch, by jumping up onto the trees (I cannot remember the exact spot, if you really can't find if I may try going back into the map to find it again)
I'd leave a review but I don't think you'd want to read it (not trying to imply anything bad about the map, but my opinions are rather strong, and the people I played with are even bigger pessimists than me)
Strange. All those puzzle bugs sound like it's server lag. Especially the part after the jukebox puzzle. Are you sure you were playing on a 1.8 server? Or did you follow the server properties properly? I really don't know why you had so many issues with the Puzzle Branch commands. Maybe you can post a screenshot for me to look at.
I found a bug on the Trivia section. Not so much a bug but an infuriating, probably impossible part. On question 14, if you pick one of the wrong answers (Just so I don't say which one, I'm putting it in a spoiler)

When you have to do the running bit to get to the button, it is impossible. Drinking the potion right as you step on the button and running doesn't get you there fast enough. Jumping makes you slower as well. I'd suggest a way to die like the other questions or to make it a bit easier, thank you.

Man I'm just kicking myself that we didn't record ourselves playing the map; unfortunately we didn't take screenshots. It's notable one of the player was experiencing connection problems on the server frequently, so I guess that could've been related. However, the issue with the /gives not working doesn't seem related to lag, at least as far as I can tell. Either way, could you maybe consider checking the efficiency of certain mechanics? as we took a glance at bits of redstone here and there (since we had no choice to cheat after being stuck in a couple of points during the puzzle branch), and I couldn't help but notice at least 2 points in the map where 2 clocks would be running simultaneously next to each other, when they could easily have been merged into just one clock...may seem insignificant, but from what we've tested while working on private projects/maps, things like that can have a rather large impact on server performance (afaik multiple clocks within the same chunk simply sent too many packets, overloading the server's bandwidth)
...and yes, it was a 1.8 server (official release), the server.properties I took from the properties file left in the folder.
As far as I recall, though, those were the only actual bugs/issues we found, the rest ran perfectly fine
I'll have qwerty look at that part as I did not design that branch. I did notice the give and clear commands for the bow and arrow were simultaneous but no one ever had issues with that in testing and I watched an LP of with no issues. Nonetheless, thanks for the info.
Also, in the Adventure Branch, were the trees you could escape in the regular world, or the orange dimension?
I went through a gold gate, had to run though some pistons that were trying to crush me, and the lever at the end won't work after I grabbed the gold block.
Not sure if it is an issue or not but during the trivia branch I got a question wrong, then was put here. I tried to beat the redstone about 3 times but then the pressure plate didn't spawn back in. I don't see any other way out

I thought I had fixed that bug. Thanks for letting me know. I'll tweak it again.

First, when i spawned, i stepped on the pressure pad, but nothing happened. So i killed myself by jumping off of the edge. I then spawned in the 'old' diversity spawn. The text was weird (First attachment). Then, i did the 'Intro', and got a dead bush, and some weird text appeared (Second attachment). I put it in the chest, but the door wouldn't open (Third attachment). I then noticed that some blocks had been removed (4th attachment). I went through, and found a chest with nothing in it. I tried putting a spare dead bush in it, but nothing happened (5th). I then went to the back of the stairs, but nothing was there! NOTHING! (6th and final attachment) This may just be me being stupid, but is Diversity 2 v0.0.1 broken?
EDIT: dangit the last attachment didnt load. Oh well.

It worked just fine for me, try reloading the map, and make sure you have 10 chunk render distance The text (I think) is supposed to be like that. So. Yeah

Im pretty laggy (Always have been) and so i tend to play at 5 or less render distance. And im in singleplayer, so i cant reload the map.

I honestly can;t replicate this, let alone understand how it's possible. That pressure plate should always respawn - it doesn't have a choice.
When you reset the Arena, it changes difficulty to peaceful. Make sure you select easy/normal/hard again.

HA! Cheater!

Drink the potion before you step on the plate.

Yay for sandstone stairs!

Good grief! That's a first. Thanks I'll update it.
Oh the sugar speed run? I'll have a look at it.
