Love jumping puzzles and had a few ideas
Suggestion 1:
Rather then having only one objective in the dark room have the actual dark room itself lead to other areas, maybe a hidden fortress or supply cache or even a faction which you can take control of and they help you fight the opposing teams. This way there’s more reason to come back to the dark room and more reason to take control of it (and you feel less guilty when being a scorpion wire troll).
Suggestion 2:
Have a small arena/pvp map where it is basically a jumping puzzle.
Two small bases for both teams and the entire center point is a vast canyon where you can fall to your death (or to a ledge that is lower if you’re lucky).
What you have to do is jump from column to column until you reach one of the capture points (in the middle) and your objective is like normal: to hold it for a certain amount of time.
But in addition to this there are also catapults (destructible) near both the team’s bases which can be used to set the capture points on fire, when this happens the opposing team is essentially forced to jump off or die (make it deal damage to friends as well?) . To stop this from happening the other team can use a second route that is lower down (and the catapult can’t hit you) which eventually leads up to the catapult and they can take it out giving them a few minutes of relief.
Maybe also add like a griffon faction whose head griffon (what ever you want to call it) is in a cave near the bottom of the canyon, if you kill it then the griffons team up with you for a few minutes flying up to the top and attacking opposing players.
Finally there are refuge areas which are essentially walled up columns where the enemy can’t hit you, inside these areas is an npc team healer which heals up and gives speed buffs to your team. These healers can heal player on other columns not just in the refuge areas and to stop this the other team merely has to kill the healers.
(in general more pvp jumping puzzle maps!)
Suggestion 3:
Expand some of the existing jumping puzzle such as conundrum cubed, it looks amazing but its really really short.
If anyone else has more jumping puzzle ideas feel free to add them in a reply
