Kill Switch update: We have temporarily Kill Switched the Forgotten Ruins Map due to an issue that causes players to become stuck in place. The Map will remain out of rotation until this is resolved.

Finally got TWD map.

Took 40 matches and finally resorting to offerings.

My god….

No one was even slightly exageratting how trash this map is.

Why in the world even bother with it? You could've done a HEY we are going to put out a TWD map at a later date or something. Like a DOZEN possible locations from the show that would've been perfect and we end up with a SLICE of a hospital intersection that lands in the middle of the map like it might be some tiny space ship? LOL.

A shame really. A license like TWD totally wasted. They didn't even have to make a killer and yet we couldn't get a legit map? Aren't some of the perks also kill switched? lol Not to mention the hooked Michonne audio bugs.

Speaks volumes of QA.

    Yeah, it's pretty underwhelming and a waste of potential, and the fact it's pretty rare (for my case) to get the map at all is pretty disappointing to say the least.

    No, see thats the thing.

    I was perpelxed at first why in the world would they not make this map an event like they did with FNAF? That was a perfect solution to letting people learn new maps. It also addressed the fact that with each new DLC getting the newer maps becomes less and less likely.

    Them not doing that, in my eyes its an admission. They KNOW the map is absolute trash. Just imagine if they did an event for……that LOL. Tiny little hospital intersection slice.

    As far as spending effort. It's undeniable. It IS the worst map hands down.

    They couldve waited and worked on it more, maybe released it when maggie comes out or something.

    That’s what pains me is that is most likely the case, they probably knew the map was bad.

    But the problem is why in the world did they not put much effort into the map, when the Walking Dead is such a huge deal for the game as a whole, I wouldn’t even care if the chapter came out later than it did, if the map is a million times better I wouldn’t even care.

    All the ridiculous bugs that were introduced (streetwise im looking at you) causing tons of problems is extremely embarrassing, 9 years this game is here for and were still having these problems.

    Quality is much better than quantity. They need to focus on putting much more love into their important licensed chapters.

    I actually don't mind it so much as a generic, filler map. I feel like it has some of the atmosphere of the older maps where things are a bit foggier and darker and you can't seen clear across the map. I don't think it's particularly representative of the IP though - aside from the one unique tile it's mostly just reused map bits.

    Would've been cool to have a hospital map that felt more modern than Lery's. I don't hate the map as is, but it's definitely the weakest variant of that zone.

    The map feels like a homework assignment that someone forgot they had to do until 10:00 the night before it’s due.

    My theory: management decided at the 11th hour that the chapter had to have a map. They threw a piss filter on the internal QA map and released it

    The worst part? They show the prison on the loading screen, so they could've and should've just done the prison. Would it have been a pain in the backside due to likely being a hybrid of both in-doors and outside? Yes, but at least it would've been something.

    my least favorite part is, the voice acting on Rick and Daryl. i would l not care if they didnt have voicelines by the original actors if we could have them match the ingame sounds. cause they are BADDDD. they need to change them to an impersonator or something

    I've played 112 games this season & only map from that realm i've seen at all is the pizza place twice (both today ironically & back to back thought that wasn't supposed to happen anymore but often does) seen a few offerings for the realm but not one has worked.

    Map offerings really need to go, there's a lotbof junk in the bloodweb but they might be the worst

    Yeah, I would agree that would be a pain. I haven't been to the TWD map, so I can't comment on it, but I certainly don't want another Forgotten Ruins.

    BtW, Daryl is bugged so you hear him mapwide as if he was next to you.

    I’ve got this map a good handful of times since its release, and I play pretty regularly almost everyday for at least a few hours.

    Thoughts:

    I like the atmosphere.

    I would make “main” bigger maybe throw a cafeteria in there and add some pallets. Reception/waiting room.Put down some tiles that are around the hospital perimeter to make it look like concrete and a parking lot. Anyways like half indoor half outdoor. Dedicated the right side to “main” and the left side to woods.

    That’s just off the top of my head on what I would like to see. I don’t think it’s the worst for a working map. It has some solid tiles to play around and I appreciate that.

    Most annoying thing is there is achiement tied to this map. With map offering nerfs it's almost imposible to get it in reasonable time. I have played the map just once as survivor today after 2 weeks playing every day and well ofcourse got sweaty killer who camped the main building gen. Annoying that it's only achiement Im missing. I have let myself survivors to get it. I wish they would put it as gamemode and truth is that map should not have achiement if FNAF map does not have one.
