ET Server Suggestion Jay2 New Maps Suggestions

[Haruhi Suzumiya]

60 players is too many anyways.  No maps in ET play correctly when that many are on.  Jay1's rotation seems to getting smaller and smaller choke point maps and they become completley unplayable.

 

I like the bot settings on jay2.  Just fun targets to shoot but keep the objective flowing.  Jay1's are a little OP and start to connect when there's still a ton of players and no need for bots.

 

The rotation is pretty decent on jay2 though.  Seem to have more rare and less played maps.  Even if they're not the best it's still refreshing to play something different.

Slipping a new one in here and there to see how it goes and if people like it, then add another one.

this i agree with sliding in one or 2 rarely played/new  maps is fine and it keeps some happy but more then 2 at 

a time is too much ive seen rotations in the past with 5 or more new maps and from what i saw was some enjoyed it but a lot would 

leave or go spec  witch we need to avoid  so maybe if each rotation is around 20 maps throw in one or 2 new maps but spared them out 

dont have 2 new maps come up one after another people may play 1 new map and be ok but when several new in a row come up

i think that's when the interest seems to get lost.

Jay2's player base dropped considerably when the limit for Jay1 was moved from 51 players to 60. Move it back to 51 and I bet any amount of money that Jay2 will get more players again.

I also see a lot of people you listed on Jay1 regularly when I play there.

 

That and the redirect to Jay 2 being removed. Years ago, that's how I ended up on Jay 2 in the first place and got redirected there often. The only time I ever went to Jay 2 in the past was when Jay 1 was full

No one, including myself, wants to be the first person to play against all bots hoping that others start to join when they could just go to Jay1 and play against people. I can't really blame anyone for that.
 

I do remember a lot of discussion a while ago about people wanting non standard maps, it's one of the reasons I started playing on Jay2 in the first place. Maps like Raiders, Fata Morgana, La Rochelle and Praetoria I didn't see on any other server at the time.


I'm all up for playing a basic rotation but that's up to you guys. I just can't see it making much difference.

 

Just my 2 cents. 

Well, last night, the server was full, as in 1 or no Bots per team for a fair number of maps. Cluedo killed it the first time I was one and when I came back, Storehouse sent a lot of people to spec. (The complaint was Allied second spawn only has one way out and is easily attacked)

i dont know why people dont like cluedos that maps fun as hell.  you take away some peoples ability to go 140 and 2  and they just turn to a baby. prolly tho the  heavy weapons ..

Oh, I think it's a different reason. I like it too but that's because I'm more of a Fragger and less of an objective player and I think most people would rather just play an objective based map. I think that's why a map like purefrag doesn't get as much love also

I was going to suggest Cathedral. With a full server, it's always been a fun map

The teams are limited to 27 x 27, which leaves room for 6 in spec.  

 

On Jay#1, I should make clear.

Jay1, not jay2

I think this map could be great in j2, we have to refresh the view of some maps
