I finished this map over a few days, doing a few branches every day, and I have to say that i liked it so much that I came back here and read over all the comments, seeing the opinions of other players...
And i have to say, i'm very surprised that some people disliked it.
The map was tedious in sections like the Arena and the Trivia, yes, but that's completely fine. It would've been much MORE boring without the punishments for dying or getting questions wrong. If people don't have enough patience to enjoy the complexity of these sections, then that is their fault.
I've never played Complex, but I loved the escape section. It confused me, annoyed me, defeated me, and I loved every second of it. It was hilarious, creative, well-made, and aesthetically pleasing in general.
The Adventure branch was great. I thought it was a fantastic break from an generally challenging map, and I personally took the time to seek out all the people and read all their sayings.They were hilarious and the story was funny, although i would've loved to see the other side's ending (more on that later).
The Puzzle branch I can't say much on - it was the last branch i did and i didn't really think much on the first puzzle before saying "eh, screw it" and using my bonus wool on it. I wish i'd done it, though, because everything else was just great.
The Dropper and Parkour maps - well, people just have to understand that you didn't set out to make this map specifically for dropper and parkour. The dropper map was fun and i liked the spawn areas' themes especially, They differentiated just enough to keep it interesting. The parkour was frustrating, yes, but hey - It's Parkour. I still had a good time.
I don't have much to say for the Labyrinthian branch. I hugged the left wall through the whole thing and got through all three stages in less than 20 minutes and i didn't find it tedious. The level designs were creative, especially the pressure plate lighting and the final jumps across the lava maze walls.
Survival was fun. The items were balanced and not too hard to come by, and i finished in less than an hour, I believe.
The Boss Battle branch was a bit bland, but I didn't mind. We've all fought the wither before but I like the enchanting mechanics and the aesthetics were nice. Wasn't too tough.
The only thing I'd suggest is this:
I would've loved the option to replay the branches once i completed the monument. For one thing, the escape branch was just fun to explore, and i would've liked to see the other ending for the survival branch (I sided with the zombie king, just because the normal king was too suspicious).
Oh, and I loved the ending, the reenactments of all the different branches.
I can tell you put an absolute TON of work into this map and in my honest opinion, it's the best one i've ever played. First multi-genre I've ever heard of, but it certainly won't be the last.
Keep making maps, man. You're gifted with a lot of stuff, from redstone to aesthetics to downright humor and story.
Hey Xeno, tddtdd103 from the server here. We are having a slight problem. Only one person is able to use the server at a time, and if another player logs in, the person that was in the server first loses their connection and must wait a few minutes to log back in, in which situation the OTHER player loses THEIR connection. Hopefully, you can fix this soon, as it is not much fun only being able to play alone :/ lol thank you see you around the server byee
