Me "changing" isn't about "oh i'm gonna be nice to everyone now ((((((:!!!", I'm still going to call you out if I disagree with something, and I'm still going to talk in the way that I usually talk, because that's how shit gets done.
However, what you've just done is making this personal. During this entire time, I have made this about the map, and only the map. You have made this about not only my comment, but about me as a person. And that's fucked. So what you've done is lost all respect that I may have had for you, because you've shown that you're unable to have a decent discussion about a map without reaching for ways to attack me because I hurt your feelings and didn't sugarcoat my feelings about the map.
I really don't get how "leaving a lasting impression" translates into "Doing the same pattern over and over again."
I get it from an artistic sense and it reminds me of older maps like
this (which big shock everyone fucking hated this map when it got ranked) but if you wanted to make it not seem like you just slapped 2 patterns into a map you could have had it be a variation upon a notable pattern. You have your pattern, and it repeats, probably STARTS in the same place, so you have that memory recall, but you DO something with it so it's not just slapped over and over again, especially on the highest difficulty when people are going to be expecting a lot more out of maps.
It's sort of a philosophy I have about kiai sections. They're the same shit over and over again, right? So I'd copy-paste them, because yeah, that makes sense, and everyone gave me shit for it since "waa cdfa you're so fucking lazy", so what I do instead is that I make REFERENCE to the earlier patterns, while still giving it its own distinctness.
It's a fine line between artistic and lazy and sadly, in my opinion, this reaches the line of lazy.
If the community disagrees with me, then that's great. This is my opinion regarding the map and it will take a lot for me to change it.
I suggest you grow some thicker skin before throwing personal attacks at me. I've been given my fair amount of shit in the 8 years that I've been mapping, so I have no sympathy for hurt feelings.
I suggest if you want to make this personal, make it personal. My PMs are always open, and I'll happily give you my contact information for your preferred method of communication.
