SHADOWS OF HEROES
A house catwalk suggestion (WARNING: A lot of words!)
If you are open to suggestions I have one for the Catwalk (if one could call it that) that goes from Telepad to Lightning Staff side of map..
I absolutely love camping at this spot and have discovered its my favourite area at the moment for camping however what hurts this spot and particularly this side of the map is the fact that the house is completely locked off meaning that any and all players cannot access this side of the map nor the Lightning Staff..

Now I understand that having the two doors entering this house are dependent on eachother for potentially balancing reasons but I have a few ideas to maintain the balance whilst making this a viable area to camp even when the downstairs door has been open..


- Independent Barriers:
Both Barriers to the house will now be independent and will no longer rely on eachother (if you open one barrier the other will not open)..

- Price Differences:
However with this change in mind the top barrier will be the cheaper option of the two being maybe around original price but the bottom one will be more expensive, maybe making it cost somewhere between 1,500 - 2,500 pts (roughly)..
This will force the players to decide whether they care about the camp spot and pay a cheaper price or if they want an optional strategy for the long run..

- Too Easy?:
Now with this change comes a problem, this could be a meta strat where the player can very easily evade, so now there will be railings on the side of the catwalk, on the house itself and the telepad area so that way the player cannot just camp here whilst forever being safe..

- SoE Emergency Catwalk Barriers:
Now additionally, this change alone could be kinda bad but if you want players to have a way to hop down then adding one of SoE's emergency barriers so that the player can hop down whenever as long as they have the points to do so would be a nice addition but only to the opposite side of where the stairs are (path to power side)..
And an optional one next to the telepad could also be added above the stairs if so desired..
This side barrier could cost maybe somewhere around 750 - 1,250 pts for purchase..

- Zombie Access to Opened Catwalk Barrier:
Opening these barriers could prove to be a problem for players now since this change will allow Zombies to jump up onto the catwalk so that this strat may not always be useful in every situation..
This balances out the cheese tactic making this a better spot for players whilst also making this a more polished spot for the map itself and not allowing players to just cheese it forever..


Some of these changes do kinda make me sad since I love the running up and hopping down but then if its that easy a round 100 would potentially become a joke..

Obviously your project so you decision but I figured its always better to say something and get a no than to not say anything and never know.. ^u^
Also apologies for the book of a message you had to read, hopefully its beneficial in some way..

Well, there's an even better camping spot now. You can now camp with a sniper on the roof of the warehouse. The Mystery Box spawns there every match, making it ideal to survive with a crew. I made this change to the level after remembering how fun it was to camp on the catwalk in Der Riese.
