The only problem is that there are places on the map (mountain) where a sniper can not be killed by a sniper rifle. Although the head sticking out from behind a hill and shields flicker.

Ooh thanks for the update LogicLoop - and mentioning the sticky environment issues there are two areas that are always a problem:

1) When C has the burning structure that looks a bit like a busted gas pipe and has some extra bumpy terrain that isn't there with other structures - these bumps are very easy to stick to, not permanently but it slows you down to almost stationary and makes you very vulnerable in a gunfight.

2) There is a similar problem around the Eastern side of B when it has the large hexagonal prism containers and the supply depot up some stairs next to what looks like a helipad. Behind the structure that the supply depot is on there is another area of bumpy terrain that is very easy to get stuck on in the same manner as described earlier.

Dear Dust Community,

We want to inform you of a few changes to Manus Peak that will address your concerns. The redlining is a big concern for us. We want to ensure that you guys can safely get out into the battle.

First, the terrain in all of Plateaus has had a lot of beautiful work done to it. This also came with some adjustments to heights in the terrains. Some areas were lowered much more, and this will decrease chances of snipers having a large field of fire over the area.

Second, the Northern MCC drop location that can get spawn camped has been changed. Not drastically, but enough to protect players from this. We moved the MCC near some rocks to help provide cover. We also raised some of the terrain to block the site from the road, and we also adjusted the gameplay borders. This should prevent spawn camping from happening now. We will be testing this as much as possible this week.

Third, we are currently further tweaking the gameplay areas to try and help alleviate any disadvantages and odd behavior (like spawning rail gun tanks on mountain sides).

We really appreciate all this feedback and comments from you.

In addition. We would appreciate any further detail you can give on the actual areas you are getting stuck in permanent falls inside buildings. For example Luther Mandrix mentioned a one foot fall at the edge of the pad by Resupply at B. Detail of what sort of structures were around, or even a guess to what the area may have been (for example a small residential area) will really help us to identify these locations. Due to the vast number of map combinations, the more info you can give us the faster we can identify problematic areas.

With all that said, we want to thank you all for this great feedback and your support and love for our game. Battle on Mercs!

Django,

I know exactly the two areas you are talking about based on your descriptions. We will take a look at these and see what comes up. Thank you!

This is still broken. There's the top of the hill in C3, which is not red lined. If you can look at play logs, PsychoFreak78 utilized this a lot in my last battle as Big-Cheese. The player took a Baloch right under the MCC for more than 20 seconds without dying. He would sit at the rise of the hill and come down as you dropped out of the MCC. I sat in the MCC for a few minutes to see if this was a one off instance, but it was repeated multiple times. I'm gonna quit this map if I happen to get to be the defender on this map again.

Wasted quite a bit of my ISK, tbh. Pissed me off.

I agree with you there. The cord: 7c and 6c is where they camp, from there they can get good overview of the whole area, they can be perfecty safe there and its easy to attackers to get there while it's so hard for the defender to get there or kill the enemy there.

I don't mind getting killed by a sniper but when he/she is on a spot where I can't reach it really pisses me off, specially when I know where that person is.

Sounds good, but another excelent thing to do IMHO is to remove the possibility for the southern team to climb up to the highest mountain, while the northern one can't.
Or both factions should be able to get on the top of the mountain, or both shouldn't be able to reach it.

Hello,

I was playing on of the new variants of this map, the one where the B objective looks like a loading area.It has a large tarmac area and scattered large crates. It has a resupply station on the west side just off the edge of the tarmac that has no earthern mound (as i have seen with the other structures).

I managed to get stuck between the resupply station and the tarmac, unable to move jump or crouch but still able to swivel. shortly after that i was killed, after respawning i noticed another member of my team in the same predicament so i drove up a LAV which he was able to jump into.

Thanks

Same happened to me at the Supply Dept at point B. Here is a min and half vid of it :(
