In the first Tower week that people used my map, players created 462 maps total… but 284 of them—over 60%—stayed empty, with no rooms mapped.

The second Tower week, last week, players created 210 maps, and only 40 stayed empty. Looks like “Confirm New Map” is working as intended.

Hi, is this still working? Our old map is still showing and we cant find a reset button. We’ve found it super useful so far, thanks for your work!

Yes, it’s still working. I was going to reset everything later tonight, like I’ve done on previous Tower weeks. But since you asked, there are probably others looking too. I just did the reset.

Previously the reset schedule has been “shortly before I go to bed on the Sunday night before a Tower week”. Is there a consensus when peeps want the the reset to happen?

Bumping since it’s tower of doom week to help others find this.
Great work and thank you.

Hi @sidbushes, just to remind you to reset the map. Thank you so much for your work!

So who was wondering why the create-a-map page asked for the game platform you were playing on? It was purely because I was curious about what usage the map site gets.

For anyone else who is curious, I made a public statistics page.

The game platform is optional and voluntary and many map-creators did not specify, so that data is incomplete.

any chance that with the floor view you can add a “next floor” button kinda a pain to type in the number to the next floor….okay I legit just found the up arrow so with that said just a little feed back it did not jump out to ME could just be a me thing tho :smiley: but thanks for making it

Haha, I’m a bit surprised anyone is actually using floor view. I created it more as like a proof of concept, not because I thought players would find it useful. That said, hell yeah! :sign_of_the_horns:

The floor-up and -down arrows are just your system’s “Up Arrow” and “Down Arrow” emoji characters. So their appearance depends on your device and OS and browser and it’s possible they look very different than how I intended them to look. For the short term I made them bigger, but I will keep an eye out while I play Gems to see if there are a couple of good arrow graphics I can use instead of the emoji characters.

For the record, this is what the arrows look like to me now:

its fine like i said user error what i had in mind tho was something like (last floor button) jump to floor (next floor button) but now that i know the arrows are there its perfectly fine as i typed the comment which was basically an next floor option would be great and before i hit enter i dbl check it just to make sure and thats when i seen the arrows but figured i would just leave some feed back anyways :smiley:

Hi,

First of all:

thank you very much for offering and maintaining this service! It’s a huge help for our guild coordination. :+1:

Our guild has entered data up to floor 62 (at the time of writing this). We noticed that after floor 50, we had to switch to the “Tower Floor” view because the “Wide” and “Narrow” views appear to be capped at 50.

Would it be possible to dynamically change those views to show up to the “max floor filled out”?

Thank you!

Hi guys,

Thanks Richard! @sidbushes

I came here to say exactly the same thing lol

Cheers!

It’s a great site, thanks for sharing it so we can use it.
Might be a bit too big of an upgrade, but there’s rules on how often certain things can spawn. Is there any chance to upgrade the map so sections are blocked/zoned and once you hit those things in that section, it gets ticked off??
So, ToD works like this:


So, if the map can have a section on the side, which would have a blue section that gets ticked off when you find luck scrolls, so you can stop looking for them, and an orange for fireball, and a purple for heroism.
Dunno how doable it is, so I’ll understand if it’s more work than it’s worth. Just something that would be really useful for players to know, while scouting the tower.

Maybe something like this? But looking better, because you’re way more skilled than me.
Thanks.

I think the floor-50 bug is fixed. Sorry about that.

Some of y’all may have noticed the site now retains past weeks to show statistics on them. The floor-50 bug was an unexpected side effect coming from that.

Huh. Interesting. How do we know “ToD works like this”, is that something the devs said or something that players figured out over time?

I see the usefulness and will have to think about how to integrate that into the site.

Oh, it works like that alright. Players figured it out.

Last time I said anything, I got berated by my guild and a muzzle applied.

Guild’s dead now, so…

I get the last laugh, I suppose.

Yeah, it’s all community based. Players working out the rules.
Shame some guilds don’t like sharing info, but yeah, last laugh for you. Lol.

BTW, @Jeto

When GoW will update this feature to the game, an automatic mapping?

Cheers.
