Hexadecimal Horrors extreme action or worst campaign ever?
Hello potato's,
I play on these servers since the heyday and really dig it. Aside from that, I don't need to create my own server or have to make bosses and missions by myself, just let others do! However, they do a fantastic job on scripting, designing and more stuff.

I don't know if the mission makers wondering of what people are thinking about the new campaign "Hexadecimal Horrors", but to keep things going I want to add my two cents.

The campaign has a few new maps including a lot missions. Some missions are well-arranged, but in contrast to this others are very simplistic.
I call things as they are and think that Hell-met is an asset for each of us and everybody else start out to be a mission maker him should take a page from his book.

Anyways, I'll knock out my experience with some maps/missions on a listing:

// Bloodlust * No comment, except the mission was meant as a joke.
// Butcher *** Very edgy map with gusto, the mission is good, too.
// Chateau **** They call it the "medic map". I like how you keep each other safe as medics. The map is cp_steel with a new livery. Great camera tracking!
// Condemned * Not playable. My game keeps crashing on half way, changes on mat_queue_mode doesn't seem to work.
// Creepside *** Good map and both missions are haped with moderateness.
// Deathpour **** I prefer the expert mission, instead of memeing on intermediate.
// Ghost Town *** Okay, if you're twisting my arm, this applies to all missions.
// Heatrock - Brain Taker * Only spam, bad experience. It needs someone more experienced.
// Kelly * At first I thought the mission maker has swallowed a clown for breakfast, but then I saw a giant pyro clown on the map. Are you serious about Kelly missions?
// Legerdemain *** Good stuff. Keep it up!
// Lostvalley - Dreadful Discernment ***** Outstanding! This expert mission is the best one, in my eyes.
// Nightsky - Death Con One **** Great! You haven't been humbugged by murky tanks yet? Give this one an honest try!
// Nightsky - Mountain Of Fear * Spam more! You'll never get through to me...
// Nightsky - Nightsky Nightmare *** Yet another good mission.
// Null - Void Voyage ** The mission has initial difficulties, it's overspammed on wave 1-3. After that I saw all manner of interesting things, but too much at one and the same time. The last wave has bumper carts and is full of flaws. I guess we killed the giant bots a little bit too early and dodged the race. So, on balance I would say it's crude, but every cloud has a silver lining.
// Oxidize * It's an advanced mission which dwindles into intermediate very soon, so spammy and too much money.
// Shank - Moonlight Menace ***** What should I say? One of the best missions, just play it!
// Skullcove *** Good mission, another remake.
// Traumatic - Terrorstorm *** Very traumatic, very good! ;D
// Underworld ** Here we go again! All advanced missions get out of control and turn into spam.
// Whitecliff Event - Descent ***** Great map and missions across there. The camera tracking on last wave is like boom. Just what I needed on Potatos - Hollywood-style!

So, what do you think about the new campaign? What is the superlative comparison to other campaigns like DD, Madness vs Machines, CC, Memes vs Machines or even TT - best or worst?

Last but not least I want to express my gratitude to the potatoes staff. Keep it up the good job you driven in at some time in the past!

condemned's mission has a very different meta from the norm, is very punishing, but most importantly is a single wave, which is ridiculous, it should be 2 or 3 waves to compensate for how hardcore it is
its a shame cause its fun, interesting, creative and well made, it would totally be a great mission if it wasnt for being near impossible for like 95% of people to complete

I mean hey, it's free content. As a starving member of the TF2 Community i'll take anything I can get my dude :demoticon:

If you're crashing in condemned, try downloading the newest asset pack, and delete the cache file in tf/sound.
This should fix the crash

O.K. and I hope it stays that way. This being the case, I started a discussion to offer constructive criticism and hope it means something to the developer, right up to you with a positive impact of course.

bruh

While I do respect how you pointed things out in a good way, I don't see it yet myself. Maybe I'm jaded after surviving that creators.tf campaign going FUBAR.

ngl I want to try to understand all the feedback here.

Butcher - Debatable. People seem to like lucid nightmares. Not sure why I don't though.
Heatrock - Sounds about right, its how big rock is designed if I'm being honest. The Expert's mission maker has this style for almost all his missions but I'm okay with it.
Kelly - Kelly easily has the worst missions in the entire tour. They're all repetitive and some are just outright bad.
Nightsky - Yeah... the mission maker isn't the best at balancing stuff (adv and int) while the Expert was a polished old mission
Shank - *which one theres 4-5 of them*
Skullcove - Eh I wouldn't say its great. Its good though.
Traumatic - Havn't really played it but personal opinion, I disliked terrorstorm just because of its super high cash.
Underworld - Yeah this might sound a bit bias since I made a mission on underworld but yeah. Subterrean and Unholy assault were rather spammy with commons, with unholy assault having some super long waves. Demonic Dominance might be spammy (specifically wave 2 and wave 5) as well but it had calm parts.

maps not listed there I have not played or I just don't want to give my opinion on it. (Lost Valley, Creepside, Whitecliff, Ledgermaine)

also u forgot
Null - 2 ok missions. 2 good missions.

Also what cultural bias is there to have in the first place.

HH is the worst campaign because there is no waterfront :ujel:

the above comment is a joke, HH is the 2nd best potato campaign (behind memes 2) because it has no teien :ujel:

Hey there, I played "Void Voyage" on Null which roughly gives an overview of the things to come.

null_b9a ** The advanced mission has initial difficulties (overspammed on wave 1-3), after that I saw all manner of interesting things, but too much at one and the same time. The last wave has bumper carts an it's full of flaws. I guess we killed the giant bots a little bit too early and dodged the race. So, on balance I would say it's crude, but every cloud has a silver lining.

BTW: I have an open mind and don't know about any cultural bias, it's a hackneyed phrase just slipped out.

After looking at your progress, honestly. Maybe its best if you include the missions on your list. Some maps have extremely different missions from each other and it does not help that you just classify a bunch of missions and then give a rating,

Take, for example, 2 of the 3 different advanced missions on Underworld. While "Subterranean Animism" and "Demonic Dominance" slightly vary from each other. One mission has a magical tank, while the other has almost as many bots, but with normal tanks. Besides that, both of them are pretty substandard. I dont't know about the last advanced mission, but it's got to be it, right?

Certainly! I have a moderate mission progress of 60%, I get back to you when it's 100%.

yes but you should still show the names of the missions you're talking about

The first 4 maps on the listing has one mission each. When I say "it applies to all missions" on a map or it just has one mission which is barely half of them. What next, shall I put a finer point on that?
randomguy 22 Oct, 2021 @ 2:12pm 
you should name the missions if there's more than 1 of them on the map
