In holding out hope, I complained about my Trackmania map getting a bunch of downvotes and my frustration with some of the feedback I got. I was really upset. WELL. I still think the downvotes were stupid. BUT. The feedback was mostly good. As cranky as I was, I did take the feedback and implement some changes. I do think a map is sometimes overall better when there is less visual information, when learning the map is required. But I've added things to make the map more intuitive to drive on your first attempt at it, before you've really learned it. These changes don't really make the map overall better. IMO they make it slightly worse, in terms of overall vibe. (Adding green & red arrows is a typical approach. I use scenery & colored light bars instead of arrows.) BUT, they do make it better for the competitive Cup Of The Day (COTD) format where you only get 15 minutes to learn the map, and people of all skill levels play. Still, there are so many maps that make it through withOUT…
