Been climbing here for a little over a month now, and every time this map comes up, it's a problem. On the screenshot provided, you can see 6 players, and myself, making a total of 7, who were at the 300 unit jump platform. None of us made it. There were 14 players on the server, and 7 were at that platform. The other 7 either did not make it there yet, or passed it. The point is this: 50% of players on a Sunday night could not make it past this jump. This isn't the only time this has happened. This happens every single time this map comes up - half the people don't make it. I'm sure the amount of people who finish it on the server records are exponentially lower than the completion rate for all of the other maps. One of the longest optional jumps is a 248 in power block. There is a way to circumvent that jump by moving to the side. It is not necessary. On cellblock, there is a bonus stage that has 220-300 ranges. That is optional. It is not necessary. On this map, not only is an adept knowledge of bhopping necessary, it also gives you an incredibly difficult, MANDATORY jump, thus making it an undesirable map for many CLIMBERS. Yes, climbers. The server is called house of climb, not house of bhop, and while bhopping is an integral part of some longjumps, it is not the focus of climbing. In addition, the feedback from the bhoppers is just silly. Telling other climbers to "get good, scrub" or "don't be a little bitch and rtv" contradicts the friendly environment ideology that is outlined in your server rules. Finally, as said by one of the disrespectful offenders in question, "Mr. Chips [R]", the map takes even skilled bhoppers 20 minutes to complete. Combine that time with an average bhopper, and then with the people who cannot bhop, and you have a full hour of a map that half the userbase does not like nor wants to play. You can even factor in those who extend the map (which has happened before). All in all, bhop_areaportal is a terrible choice of a map. The HoC's server rules paint it to be a welcoming place to people of all creeds, skilled or not, and this map contradicts that. It is a server where elitist people can, for lack of a better word, wave their dicks around at how good they are at bhopping. I have considered that one might say, "practice." but no amount of practicing on a casual climbing server is going to allow one to jump 300 units in an average playing session. I've seen countless people just disconnect after 100+ unsuccessful attempts. I implore you to consider removing bhop_areaportal from the lineup. Let those who wish to solely bhop go to another server for that. We already have monsterjam. That map is a good example of what a bhop map in a climb server should be, because many of the sections contain option climb obstacles for those who cannot bhop. Thank you for your time.
It takes time, its take practice. It breaks the monotony of the maps and it requires much more skill. If anything, these make you a better player overall. No need to get frustrated. It's just a game.
Consider getting good and not being a scrub. Beating areaportal will make you better at the game. Then maybe you will grow some chest hair and stop complaining.
