Loki Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 Hey guys. I have been playing almost exclusively on the Hard Core server now for a while. I have noticed that we can have a full server going for a long time.....until......the vacant free for all. It seems like we loose half of our players when the free for all map comes up. I was wondering if we could rotate that map and game type out for a while and see if we can keep more people on the server for longer. Just a thought (For the record, I don't really like the free for all either.) Loki Quote
Administrators daredevil Posted September 6, 2009 Administrators Posted September 6, 2009 People don't like map or they don't like free for all? or they don't like free for all on vacant. We can change it. Also, is heli fixed? Quote
KILLERGUN Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 people dont like Free for all as such. They just wait fr it to get over. They prefer the other game types. Nowadays our HC server is full most of the times, thats a great sign. Also will have to check if the heli is fixed.... Quote
Dixus Posted September 6, 2009 Posted September 6, 2009 One reason that people dont like it is that we have 10 Seconds respawn timer. We need to get rid of that and we need to set up the new rotation. Its nearly everything TDM. Quote
DonTomG1349 Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 I've been playing on nothing but the hardcore server, and I've also noticed that most people leave when they notice the free for all come up. I'm honestly not sure what the problem is for them. I'm not sure if it's the free for all part, or if it's just the map. I do know that a lot of the people (myself included) don't like the 10 second respawn timer. I think they might not like the free for all itself because they come on a =F|A= server expecting tdm. Even though it says mix gametype, I think they are expecting games that are team related. Just a thought, perhaps the free for all could be switched for headquarters. I know it's a lot like domination, but it is something different nevertheless. Like I said, just a thought. Peace Out, DonTomG Quote
Dixus Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 i see that its pure chaos if more than 10 people are on. The server is more populated than 4 weeks ago.. True. We should think about changing it to TDM or DOM. Quote
Loki Posted September 7, 2009 Author Posted September 7, 2009 I cant remember who mentioned it to me, but we were chatting about maybe changing from free for all to search and destroy. From what I have gathered, I think the issue is the game type and not the map. and I do hear alot of gripeing on the 10 second respawn too. Quote
Malokyte Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 I would love for Vacant to be changed to search and destroy, instead of free-for-all. I have no problem with the timer, gives me time to see how the other person is playing to adapt later on, but vacant is a very camp heavy map. With no objectives other than kill or be killed it just steps it up a notch. Plus vacant is a pretty cool map when it's search and destroy. Quote
FatWolf Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 I mostly play on the regular TDM Killbox server, but I play on the HC occasionally. I agree about the 10sec timer before respawn on FFA, needs to be shorter or removed. Also agree with the gametype on Vacant, FFA is better on bigger maps in my opinion. Perhaps the FFA map(s) should have a shorter time/score limit too?? Just a thought. But yeah, keep up the different gametypes. It's good for a change of pace from playing on the Other server alot!

DonTomG1349 Posted September 7, 2009 Posted September 7, 2009 After reading the posts after mine, I agree. I personally think that the game type should be changed either to search and destroy, or headquarters. The map doesn't necassarily have to change, but it wouldn't hurt to change either. Peace out, DonTomG Quote
timmins Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 well a FFA wouldn't be that bad if you threw it on overgrown or something, a bigger map that isnt a grenadiers paradise. I'm not to fond of FFA's but i play em... in my respect, it is just the map that gets it for me. Quote
Dixus Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 currently we need to run a mix.. We have members from all over the world. And currently the u.s. members crowd the server at u.s. times. True some maps are pure chaos with 20 people on. But like we europeans, aussies play most time with 4-5 people. Quote
milli vanilli Posted September 9, 2009 Posted September 9, 2009 see new map list recommendations in other member forums, i suggested a new list Quote
Administrators daredevil Posted September 9, 2009 Administrators Posted September 9, 2009 see new map list recommendations in other member forums, i suggested a new list I removed free for all since all didn't liked it. I will add it back after 1 month on some another map. Quote
