Bow_In_Honor Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 (edited) *cough cough* Shipment *cough* Hate to break it to you Shadow but I doubt Shipment will ever be in the rotation. Might bring some people in, but it'll definitely piss off the regulars. Most of the people that play on beginners expect us to put fair, and balanced maps in the rotation, and shipment is neither of the two. However coundown / bloc, especially when one after the other, is really rough. Countdown is definitely not a map that scales well for lots of people. Completely agree with you on that. +1 Edited June 20, 2015 by Bow_In_Honor Quote

Bow_In_Honor Posted June 20, 2015 Posted June 20, 2015 Don't take my dream away from me Bow...! Hey don't get me wrong, I'd love to have shipment put in just so I can see the regulars lose their minds in chat, and rage quit. It'd be a nice little break in between actual maps. 1 Quote
Administrators daredevil Posted June 28, 2015 Administrators Posted June 28, 2015 Can we change up rotation to something else? http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/108.61.21.94:28934/ Server rank has been dropping like crazy which tells, players just don't want to play the maps which has been added or changed or some maps kills the servers? Let's fix it before beginners becomes another abner. Quote
KILLERGUN Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 we can definitely take out overgrown. We could also reduce the map time for all the maps.. making the rotation and gameplay quicker.. We can give that a shot.. Quote
Drizzt DoUrden Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 we can definitely take out overgrown. We could also reduce the map time for all the maps.. making the rotation and gameplay quicker.. We can give that a shot.. is overgrown still in the rotation? i havent played it since weeks. Can we change up rotation to something else? http://www.gametracker.com/server_info/108.61.21.94:28934/ Server rank has been dropping like crazy which tells, players just don't want to play the maps which has been added or changed or some maps kills the servers? Let's fix it before beginners becomes another abner. the amount of players is decreasing since several weeks, so i dont think its the rotation only which is causing this. months ago we have discussed a map rotation based on the amount on players. big maps when main traffic and small maps when only a few players on server. do you have tried this?

ShadowFax Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 Take out countdown. That's the one killing the server. Overgrown isn't in there. Atm it's Vacant, Showdown, District, Pipeline, Countdown, Ambush, Backlot and Strike I believe (not that order). I think we should replace Vacant, Strike, Countdown and maybe Showdown, with Crossfire, Chinatown, Overgrown and Crash I think it is. I know a lot of people enjoy those maps, and we've found the servers do get busier when some of those maps are on, especially Crossfire and Chinatown. The problem is, I think, we need to find a way to get people to our servers in the first place. I'm not sure how we do that exactly though. :/ Quote
Bow_In_Honor Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 (edited) The server definitely seemed a lot more populated when we had Chinatown, Crossfire, and Crash in the rotation. A lot of players have complained that they don't like Countdown. The map just turns into a giant spawn trap for the losing team. Also, I know tubes are allowed, but when it gets to be too much (I.E the spawn tubing on Countdown) it causes players to leave, and ultimately they find other servers to play on. Tubing should be allowed, but we need to pick maps that don't cause it to become a problem. The other map that I hear people complain about is Showdown. I'll even leave, or spec most of the time when Showdown comes up. It's just another map that has a tubing problem, and OP camping positions, that you can't deal with when there are 13 people on the other team. It can easily turn into a giant spawn trap for the losing team. At least with Creek if it's one sided, the other team still has a large area to roam around in. When a team gets spawn trapped in Countdown, you can't even make it outside of the buildings, and in Showdown you get stuck in a tiny spawn getting f***ed three ways.

Guardian Posted June 28, 2015 Posted June 28, 2015 I think that if we need to change the map rotation that Countdown and Ambush should be swapped out for other maps because those two are most prone to spawncamping without getting a chance to switch spawns. Also i do agree with shadowfax that if we bring crossfire and/or crash and/or chinatown everyone will rejoice! Quote

Let's fix it before beginners becomes another abner. I changed the rotation a while ago when it dropped down to 112. I removed a couple maps that were draggin it down. The server pops has been goin up slightly with the new rotation..so i think we should keep it the way it for a while longer. Because if we change it again...i can guarantee it will drop below 100 again and this time it might not come back up.... Quote

Also i do agree with shadowfax that if we bring crossfire and/or crash and/or chinatown everyone will rejoice! Really? Because Crash has a higher probability of spawn camping without spawn switches than ambush and countdown put together. Especially with the same wannabe 'pro'-douches stacking marines lately. Ops might as well lay down and die on that map. Countdown I don't care much for, but that's only because it's a boring map. Sit in a corner and pick people off then circle jerk it around a bit. Crossfire was fun. 1 Quote

Can we do camp on server a bit when we get zero players? I see once we get 5 vs 5 we easily go above 20+ in next 30 mins. The only tough part is to get it going for 5 vs 5 from 0. 1 Quote
