We heard your feedback. So we have made some changes.
Hightower Plugin Changes:
Increased Spawn Uber Protection to 1.5 Seconds
Removed Damage Penalty from 5-8th Jumper Rockets.
Map Changes:
Fixed Engineers Building in Spawn
Reverted a Couple Ladders Back to Instant Slide Ramps
Reverted Changes to the JumpPad Launch Location (They still give you particles)
Reverted the Bottom Spawn Doors
Added a Speed Boost to The Lounges Hallways
Added a Push Trigger to Prevent Players Getting Stuck when Falling Off the Map
Made the Sniper Sight Blocking Signs Non-Solid to Players (They still block bullets/rockets but they allow players to rocket jump past them without bonking their head)
Changed the Teleport Effect to be Much More Subtle
Welcome to Custom Hightower C1! The C stands for Classic.
Hightower "Classic" takes the unreleased R15 while removing the cliffs and associated secrets to bring the focus back to PVP.
We are moving away from secrets and are focusing on the balance of PVP.
This is just C1 so things are still open for discussion/balance for PVP. Don't be afraid to speak up. If you think you have idea's on map balance mention them and we can discuss them.
You can view the full changes below.
