[REJECTED] Cliffside - Power Trip
Demo: https://testing.potato.tf/demos/mvm_cliffside_b8_exp_standard_pushback-1687122090.zip

Strike, Pass, or No Strike?: No Strike

Team Lineup:
  • DaMno (Spy)
  • Lemonee (Scout)
  • Hell-met (Medic)
  • Skin King (Soldier)
  • B855 (Scout)
  • Mo (Heavy)

General Feedback:
  • There cant really be much said about the waves because them being built around an gimmick that is really hard to even utilize or use.
  • Higher max active compensating the core gimmick is really hitting hard on classes that either cannot do much as giants such as spy/engie/sniper or are generally weaker early on such as soldier/demo.
  • Probably rebranding the mission to an advanced would be for the better, reducing max actives, and giving a chance to players not having a core.

[REJECTED] Rustvalley - Spy Sheriff
Demo: https://testing.potato.tf/demos/mvm_rustvalley_rc4_adv_spy_sheriff_juj-1685846270.zip

Strike, Pass, or No Strike?: No Strike

Team Lineup:
  • Lemonee (Engi)
  • colonel (Soldier)
  • watermelon (Sniper)
  • Olimar (Pyro)
  • Shade (Scout)

Wave 4:
  • I would keep an eye on the sentry tank's performance in future runs. Our Pyro managed to sneak in front of the tank and waste the gun's aggro for its entire lifespan but I imagine this wave would be much more problematic if the gun wasn't distracted.

Wave 5:
  • At this stage you can afford to send something stronger than a Giant Pyro, the buff banner Soldier commons were the main pushing force here.

Wave 6:
  • There were 4 straggler gauntlets at the end, you should either cut them or send appropriate giants to pair with them.

Akure RC1A - Gold and Grit
Demo: https://testing.potato.tf/demos/mvm_akure_rc1a_adv_gold_and_grit-1684375857.zip

Strike, Pass, or No Strike?: No Strike

Team Lineup:
  • Perper (Medic)
  • Lemonee (Engi)
  • Solifuga (Demo)
  • watermelon (Scout)
  • Skin King (Pyro)

General Feedback:
  • In Wave 6 the G Medics got stuck in spawn again because of nav funkiness. You should check that out again.

Wave 2:
  • I think I would reduce the number of crit bat scouts slightly, there is at large quantity of them at this early stage of the mission and they are pretty lethal.

Wave 7:
  • The G Scouts could be made to be less punishing. In our first attempt of this wave they manage to slip through and run the bomb to hatch, which the rest of the wave very difficult with the strict pacing of the bots only bolstered by the presence of tele engis. On our second attempt this wave was much more manageable when we were able to corner trap most of the g scouts.

Quetzal - Banana Barricade
Demo: https://testing.potato.tf/demos/mvm_quetzal_rc5_exp_banana_barricade-1684382779.zip

Strike, Pass, or No Strike?: Pass with Changes (3/3)

Team Lineup:
  • Solifuga (Engi)
  • Lemonee (Medic)
  • QuantumApple (Pyro)
  • watermelon (Soldier)
  • Skin King (Demo)
  • AverageGamer (Scout)

General Feedback:
  • Our run went well and this mission seems like a fun and fun one. The only change I would advise is to reduce the frequency of meteor spells from the boss, as their high knockback gets pretty noticeable with how often they come. Otherwise, this is campaign ready.

Akure RC1A - Diamond and Dross
Demo: https://testing.potato.tf/demos/mvm_akure_rc1a_exp_diamond_and_dross-1683259539.zip

Strike, Pass, or No Strike?: Pass

Team Lineup:
  • Lemonee (Medic)
  • watermelon (Engineer)
  • colonel (Soldier)
  • Whurr (Spy)
  • A+drew (Scout)
  • Skin King (Demo)

General Feedback:
  • Overall I would say this run went fine. Nothing stood out as too egregious in this mission. Still, the demo should be reviewed for anything we may have missed.
  • Personally I tried the custom Syringe Gun weapon and it felt really bad for me. Syringes even with double damage and mini crit marking are a really bad offensive weapon, and the incredibly small clip does not help either.

Skangus - Metal Scorn
Demo: https://testing.potato.tf/demos/mvm_skangus_rc9_adv_metal_scorn-1682831845.zip

Strike, Pass, or No Strike?: Pass

Team Lineup:
  • colonel (Demoman)
  • LuigiFan (Sniper)
  • Lemonee (Engineer)
  • Scout
  • Soldier

General Feedback:
  • It's a fine mission - nothing stood out as particularly egregious. You can still review the demo for anything we missed though.

Lotus - LED-Motif
Demo: https://testing.potato.tf/demos/mvm_lotus_b6_adv_ledmotif_judge-1682743700.zip

Strike, Pass, or No Strike?: Pass 3/3

Team Lineup:
  • Lemonee (Soldier)
  • Perper (Engi)
  • UltimentM (Pyro then Demo
  • watermelon (Sniper then Pyro)
  • StardustSpy (Demo then Scout then Spy)

General Feedback:
  • The only main complaint from this run was that the battalion soldier subwave on W2 drags especially if the team gets pushed earlier. Other than that hiccup this mission is campaign ready and will be featured next event. Congratulations!

Akure RC1A - Bronze and Bristle
Demo: https://testing.potato.tf/demos/mvm_akure_rc1a_int_bronze_and_bristle-1680143769.zip

Strike, Pass, or No Strike?: No Strike

Team Lineup:
  • Lemonee (Soldier)
  • Perper (Sniper)
  • Profit (Pyro)
  • Skin King (Scout)

General Feedback:
  • I think this mission overall needs a toning down in power across the board. The target audience for Intermediate missions are supposed to be complete or near-complete beginners to the game mode and there are many instances I saw in this run where beginner players would get absolutely smoked.

Wave 1:
  • Teleporter engi is absolutely unnecessary for an int wave 11 on 400

Wave 2:
  • Giant heaters with med support will be too much against intermediate skill level teams with only 1.3k

Wave 3:
  • Again this wave will probably be too much for an int level team: multiple active G Scouts with a bunch of demo commons and bowmen (these commons are stacking up again!)
  • While easy skill demos cannot aim well, their projectiles are still dangerous because they have no damage falloff and no one has resistances at this stage of the mission.

Wave 5:
  • The general pace of this wave is pretty unrelenting: giants followed by many soldier groups with little breaks (again large amounts of common stacking)

Wave 6:
  • I would be careful with the conch soldiers as if they manage to break through RED's defenses they can quickly snowball the robot's advantage with speed boosts
  • I would also be cautious with the usage of hard ai g deflectors, they're a serious threat even on high cash

Wave 8:
  • I would reduce the homing power of rockets in phase 3 to make them easier to dodge.

Akure RC1A - Diamond and Dross
Please watch the demo for this one, the written feedback can not really convey how overtuned and excessive this expert felt.
Demo: https://testing.potato.tf/demos/mvm_akure_rc1a_exp_diamond_and_dross-1679177448.zip

Strike, Pass, or No Strike?: No Strike

Team Lineup:
  • Lemonee (Pyro)
  • Seelpit (Pyro)
  • Hellmet (Medic)
  • Mudun (Scout)
  • Yuugi (Soldier)
  • Whurr (Engi)

General Feedback:
  • In general this mission has a pacing/stacking issue — in many waves you will often see huge masses of commons with low waitbetween, giant stacks that spawn really close to one another, or both.
  • You might want to tone down the number of g scouts in this mission — there is something like 60-70 giant scouts through the 8 waves. This just advantages the bodyblocking classes like engi or heavy more than the current payout structure already does or makes people have to get jar slow or rspec.

Wave 1:
  • 7 super scouts is simply overwhelming for 400$. Low cash waves already favor classes like engi and heavy, but the fact that they are also the two best classes for bodyblocking then killing the scouts will make this wave a polarizing experience for teams who do not run either (or lack competent players on them).
  • Teleporter engis are very questionable to deploy on such low cash, especially since the super scouts slipping past will usually let them set up.

Wave 2:
  • This wave has an incredible DPS requirement for an early wave, sending two gmeds, a tank, and a bunch of dangerous giants on 1k cash. Teams without heavy will struggle greatly here.
  • This custom G demo with its rapid bursts of fast moving pills (that have full damage and explode on surfaces!) would pose a challenge to players with a couple of thousand dollars worth of upgrades. On 1k cash it is absolutely cracked and will be the bane of most teams trying to clear this wave.
  • Somehow, the custom rocket heavy that comes afterwards is even more ridiculous. Its damage is in the "easy team wipe" level of lethality and does not feel tested at all.

Wave 3:
  • This wave has major stacking with the commons crit pyros and shotgun heavies. Consider lowering the maxactive.
    -
  • Speaking of commons, the infinite fire shotgun heavies absolutely do not feel like support and are more like one of the main pushing forces in this wave.
  • Again, the fan scout has a higher clip size when it really does not need to be more lethal.

Wave 4:
  • Similar to Akure Advanced the G punchie can't really do anything except serve as a big meat sponge.
  • G Sniper is too slow to position itself in effective locations.

Wave 5:
  • This wave feels like a random roller: bonk giants, gauntlet heavy, crit bowmen with g heavy + g med pushing.
  • For some reason the gmed has only 3k health instead of the usual 4.5k? It would be natural to reduce the strength/number of commons instead of messing with the health of a regular template.
  • Again there are straggler squads at the end.

Wave 6:
  • Once again there is mass common scout and heavy stacking.
  • Questionable pacing with giant brass and giant soldiers all coming out at once.

Wave 7:
  • This being an expert does not justify sending a bp level wave without bp payout. If a team fails to hold the pseudo-chokepoint at the slope/stairs they will face a hellish time fighting the crit commons and bigrock bursts in an open map probably without full resistances.
  • The maxactive of 16 natasha heavies is way too high.
  • There is a naked tank at the end because the bigrock bursts all come out paired and quickly, making for a rather anticlimatic finish.

Wave 8:
  • This boss is very obnoxious to fight. The rockets salvos he shoots either instakill you even with full res or send you flying/skybox you with massive knockback. This is especially punishing for engi as all his buildings will basically get nuked if they catch aggro once.
  • The same criticisms about poor phase telegraphing and the weird move speed phase from Akure Advanced still apply here.
  • Regarding randomchoice support, g charged and g heavies are way different in terms of power level. The pool of giant support should be more balanced against one another.
  • The laser sfx was unusually loud.
