re: new uranus defense map

[UncaIroh]

1. Yey I don't have to run around to one of 4 spots on the map... which was annoying but not overly so.

2. We don't have the high ground almost 100% of the time. Seriously, why do the the tenno choose some of the worst positions? We're also surrounded by cover that can be used by the grineer. We can't funnel, the only real option is to bring defensive frames like frost, volt, or zephyr to block incoming fire.

To players who kept complaining about this map:

They FIXED syndicate missions on this map. The old one spawned 8 medallions/seeds/datum/etc, which is among the EASIEST to find. Congratulations on making your farming harder. I was ok with this tradeoff, annoying mechanics for guaranteed complete medallions.

Quoth the Lotus, "Our position has been compromised"

We didn't choose these positions, the Grineer chose them for us, that's why they suck so much

We didn't choose where the equip we need to defend was installed. The Grineer did.

I don't buy the whole "Grineer chose them for us" argument. The basic idea of the new map is we're conducting sabotage (similar to earth sabotage). We're somewhere in a grineer base, and Lotus couldn't find another more defensible access point?

At the very least they could make it less like shooting fish in a barrel for the grineer.

Again, the Grineer chose that point for their equipment that we're sabotaging. Since it's so mission-critical for them, they probably WOULD put it in a spot where they have the high ground and full visual clearance and advantageous firing positions, and anyone trying to sabotage it does not
