Volcano Map Needs Looked At

http://i.imgur.com/Ecl3Lrt.jpg

Is this supposed to be a joke?

The map layout is incredibly small, has very poor mob density because the narrow path doesn't allow for huge packs to spawn, and while I've not tested this last bit, I've heard that shrines will often not spawn on this map, even if you pay for the domination mod. This is easily one of the worst tilesets in the game (not the visuals though, I commend your art department) and it would be nice if you guys made it larger at the very least.

In it's current iteration, Volcano = 1/3 Springs

Actually most of the Act 4 maps are kinda disappointing from the gameplay pov. They are either a bad half-empty layout (Desert, Quarry, Volcano), backtracking layout (Desert, Channel, Malformation), completely overturned boss (Desert, Pit, Malformation, Village Ruin) or all of those (Desert). Haven't seen any from tier 80, tho.

Volcano seems to be pretty underwhelming.

I also agree with Morbo about Act 4 maps. They have very strange layouts, mob density and most importantly completely out of line bosses. Mirage of Bones is one of the most imbalanced bosses ever introduced into the game in my opinion. Malachai in beta was standing out too but compared to Mirage he is puny.

Wierd. I like quarry map (it is big, drops good cards, has very good boss fight and the pack density is more than balanced with pack count. I also enjoy Pit boss but only after i got to know how this fight plays. Channel has a really eqsy to navigate layout with minimal backtracking and has both good xp and card drops.

Village ruin is another story. The boss(es) are fine for 79 map but this maps SHOULD NOT spawn as a zana map! These bosses are extremely deadly even as lvl70..
So it wasn't just me who thought volcano was somewhat small

i don't agree about the other new maps tough.

as for the 'overtuned bosses' i'd argue that allot of the old maps have 'undertuned bosses'.

they are not bosses they are pinata's

the new bosses are mostly ok

As for the village ruin, ye the damage doesnt scale down properly on lower level maps trough zana
Going to give this another bump

I've ventured into 76-77 maps now, luckily I saw this thread before running my first Volcano map.


I'll just stash them for now. This has to be fixed.
The Volcano map is horrible. I've run a lot of them in the past few days because they're 77 and easy as pie but certainly not enjoyable.

I personally dislike the whole tile art direction. Bland, has no atmosphere. There should at least be some lighting variation.

I get the visual idea behind the whole thing but the execution is poor.

Put lava pits in the middle of the tracks or something else that adds more "feeling" to the whole thing.
Same here. Volcano is a map that I'll run at my current level just because, but the pack size and layout really needs to be looked at. Especially packs...really should have a few more in there. :\

My first ever volcano map was double boss. After killing the entire map in about 3 minutes and stumbling upon the bosses, I killed them both so fast they didn't do anything. As i stood there confused and looking at the terrible loot, a shit ton of fireballs came at me from off screen.

Needless to say, I don't find it worth playing again.
