Plea for new map and map offerings

While I'm sure it's too late for the next couple maps planned (although it's not like it hasn't been suggested before, myself included):

Please can you start adding new maps to existing realms.

We have so many map offerings that take us to single maps, or maps with very little variance. This is a problem for balance, as we all know map offerings are fairly controversial, and this is largely due to how predictable they are. Offerings such as Ormond, or Midwich, take you to single map variations, you always know what to expect, and this makes them stronger than they should be. And not least; we simply have too many different map offerings to keep track of and litter the bloodweb.

In contrast, offerings for the Coldwind, MacMillan and Autohaven maps are nowhere near as reliable, because each one has five variants, each with it's own strengths and weaknesses. This makes them far less 'oppressive' (even if it's mostly psychological) when used by say a strong SWF.

Every new map since Ormond has been entirely unique, and this really needs to change. Please give us new locations in existing realms.

  • A new Withered Isle map for the next original killer that has ties to The Fold, a killer-sided map to offset the survivor sided Garden of Joy, would be excellent.
  • An Ormond village map for the next original killer that could conceivably be either Canadian or from a snowy environment. A smaller map to offset the large size of Ormond Resort.
  • For those that wouldn't be so easy to tie in such as Forsaken Boneyard or Decimated Borgo, then please provide more variations of the map, as you have done for Springwood. However...
  • Please make sure variations of the same map are sufficiently different. Springwood has five variations, but they're all of equal size and 'strength' in terms of loops and features. At least two of the five should be intentionally more killer-sided.

    Obviously the licensed maps will always be a bit of an issue. As significant changes such as multiple variants may require license holders to sign off on them. But you have it with Springwood and RPD already so I don't see why it shouldn't be possible, even if it requires more 'work' to get done.
