LeftWingVixen Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Hello, everyone!! While I'm a frequent player of the Jay1 server, I've noticed a lot of complaining solely about the map rotation - and how monotonous it is. I, personally, like the maps but I feel with the right twist it can start off with 'YEAH's instead of 'Ugh, not again's. Requests: To replace North Pole [since it's not Holiday season anymore]: Cortex Who, Warbell, or Axis Lab. (I chose these maps for the entertainment factor as well as enough room to roam when the server is full.) To replace Castle: Baserace, Falcon, Beer Run. (I chose these maps because I feel they share in the same tag-team/capture-the-objective as Castle, so you get new maps with the same concept.) Other Maps (for diversity): Seawall Battery, Radar, SUPER Goldrush, Glider, Daybreak, Vesuvius, Paris Bastille. Also some simple suggestions: Enable team-killing during warm-ups, for entertainment. More panzer-wars! In a more advanced point of view, I understand that certain maps won't be able to be added based on their compatibility with the server, but I just thought I'd at least throw in my two cents. I'd also like to hear others' opinions, too! What do you think? Happy New Year to everyone as well! xo - Vixen 1 Quote
Ultra...?! Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 ...What do you think?... Warbell & Paris Bastille-these maps were recently Super goldrush-very eats fps Battery-camping map, created to show the beauty et Baserace & Daybreak-good maps, Daybreak is the best of the series MLB this only my opinion Quote
Belo Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 Axis lab is too small for 50+. Warbell was on few weeks ago. Give us a (long) break. Baserace and Cortex, just no. Battery, too hard for Allies. I like Vesuvius, Daybreak and Beer run. But just to let you know, Beer run isn't the same kind of map than Castle or Baserace. And why not Radar but Summer version. Daybreak isn't the best MLB map, Egypt is Quote
staticwarp Posted January 3, 2014 Posted January 3, 2014 I'd really like to see waffenschmiede added: http://wolfenstein4ever.de/index.php/news/wolfenstein-enemy-territory/et-maps/item/1321-waff I'm thankful to see the 2 tanks map added, it's fun but usually ends too fast. the map rotation is pretty good, but I'd really like to see venice and castle CTF rotated out for a while. so for my vote, waffenschmiede instead of venice. there is a ctf map on one of the beginners servers (i think?), i don't know what it's called but it's in a dungeon sort of setting and the map is constantly changing, there are rotating walls and such. that would be a nice replacement for castle ctf for a while. 1 Quote
LeftWingVixen Posted January 4, 2014 Author Posted January 4, 2014 What I would essentially like to do is compose a list of maps that MOST people would like, and promote it. Quote
Olykiller Posted January 4, 2014 Posted January 4, 2014 why would you change bba castle capture the flag? good map and fun obj id love to see oasis or fueldump removed and perhaps a vesuvius or toxicity facility or haunted mansion in stead Quote
Trucho Posted January 7, 2014 Posted January 7, 2014 (edited) Warbell!! great map, I miss "Pirates" too.I would like one day or weekend (some like an ET party) with only original rotation's maps (Gold Rush, Siwa Oasis, Atlantic Seawall Battery, Rail Gun, Wurzburg Radas and Fuel Dump), I've been playing this game 7 months and I have rarely played this map online!

LeftWingVixen Posted January 8, 2014 Author Posted January 8, 2014 Pirates was very fun, and I love Warbell. Is there a vote, or an admin who has final say on adjustments? Haunted Mansion rocked! Much better than Nightmare, imo. 1 Quote
Gorilla Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Pirates was very fun, and I love Warbell. Is there a vote, or an admin who has final say on adjustments? Haunted Mansion rocked! Much better than Nightmare, imo. Yeah Im a fan of haunted mansion and pirates. Quote
staticwarp Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 why would you change bba castle capture the flag? good map and fun obj id love to see oasis or fueldump removed and perhaps a vesuvius or toxicity facility or haunted mansion in stead It's just a personal thing since I prefer objective maps to CTF. castle CTF is just one of those maps that makes me groan when it comes up again, but i know a lot of people really like it. It is a great map, just boring for me. I usually like to play engineer so there isn't much for me to do as far as building/repairing/escorting. It has been in the rotation for what seems like an eternity so i think next time someone decides to change the rotation, it should be swapped out for a different CTF map. Quote
staticwarp Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Is there a vote, or an admin who has final say on adjustments? I've been wondering the same thing, there doesn't really seem to be a system in place for map requests. when people post requests they usually just get a few other members saying something like "nowai teh map sux" or "this map would be better", but there usually isn't any comment from the actual admins who take care of this sort of thing. then the thread dies and we all forget about it.

tipsy Posted January 10, 2014 Posted January 10, 2014 Let me explain you things regarding map , maybe sound hard or rude. You have full right to request for maps you want to play,, but server owner has to keep many things in mind before adding any map in rotation , omnibot - fps drop - bugs etc. and we had some quite bad experience with "maps requesting" for example few players eagerly requested for maps and when maps gets loaded on server.. nobody wanted to play it.. server empty . So voting is waste in practical (maybe we can give another try? ) . Maps are given priority which are mostly "familiar" to players or lag free- less fps drop , more fair reasons can be added here. So in short those maps are tried to be added on server that are accepted by majority instead of few. Just my thoughts . I will add my list later , though I posted one earlier too. Quote
staticwarp Posted January 11, 2014 Posted January 11, 2014 @belo: i'm with you, i'd rather see custom maps. @yoyo: thanks for adding that! it's interesting to know that voting has been tried before but didn't work out so well. I can see how it is tough to decide which maps to add to servers since there are so many factors to consider. it's definitely impossible to please everyone with so many variables and personal tastes involved. I'm grateful to have these servers to play on no matter what maps are on there, finding the FA ET servers has been a lot of fun for me. Quote
