A new maps in current generation of console is a problem. If it comes with paid DLC it needs additional lobby, which mean less players. The solution is to give free DLC with maps but as you probably know it's not popular this days. Of course they Ranimo can add paid maps to the roster but this will force people to disconnect and many of us will end up with bots in teams. And getting kicked from a game because you didn't paid for a DLC is annoying.

One map more would be cool, I mostly care about characters though. I enjoy all these maps and they're pretty diverse from one another.
Make maps free, characters paid. Seems to be the best way to not split the community. Just need to have the characters come in a patch and to use them you need an unlock key, in this case buy them.

The issue with map additions are that I feel it'll simply amount to gimmicks for each. Not to knock on the game or anything, but what exactly makes the snake level special compared to the others apart from the snake? Of which I'm not much a fan, it's just an obstacle to avoid all the time, and the one time I was able to get a kill with it they lagged out of it.
I'd rather have one fun map than a bunch of gimmicky ones, like the above.

I like that nearly every game, people equally split attacks between the upper and lower parts and it's quick to switch focus on defending/attacking each of the first layer. I also like where the neutral creeps are.

Less maps allow for more careful planning when it comes to strategy, otherwise most of your time would be spent getting to know 628 maps or whatever instead of actually using the territory to your advantage. It's easier to learn a character on the fly than a map, and we should certainly be seeing a lot more of the former soon.

I definitely think they need more maps. I could do with out the gimmicky stuff like the worm or ant-gravity area. I would like to see a map that has more turrets. Right now you only have to get through 2 turrets on any map and you are in the enemy base.
I want to see a map where you have to get through like 8 turrets or more. The games ends too quick. You barely get your character maxed out and the game is over.

im 99% sure i read in an interview that their priority is going to be bug fixing and getting new characters on the table, and honestly i like it that way  new maps are probably a lot of time and effort to make and i prefer them using that time to make new chars and improving balance

You can have all the characters you want but if the matches end too quick and you never get to level your character all the way up it's not fun. On the first map there are 4 turrets and I intentionally take all four of them out before I even go in the enemy base but droids still end up killing it. I think I have only maxed my all the way out in game like once. The games need to last longer so there need to be more maps with more turrets.

-crow but that´s your personal opinion, imo getting to a full character sounds tedious and boring the fun is in chosing wich tree will you use in this specific match against this specific enemies, to work with this specific team and against that specific team and beat them as fast as posible to play another game and beat another team

Here's my take on DLC: To avoid potential compatibility problems, maps should all be free whereas additional characters should cost moneycash. Of course, it should be possible to encounter the additional characters in-game without having bought them. You simply buy the possibility to play them.

Damn, I really hope this game gets some decent post release support with an abundance of patches and DLC! crow5716 wrote: You can have all the characters you want but if the matches end too quick and you never get to level your character all the way up it's not fun.

-crow I do not agree at all. The game is all about winning ASAP. The fun sorta ends when your character is fully upgraded.
