ET Server Suggestion Beginners #2 - Map suggestions

Recommended Posts

I propose to add one or two maps offering a different experience in the next cycle: a baserace map, a frag map like Fragmaze or a CTF map like BBA Castle. Playing on Jay 1, Baserace and BBA Castle are always a nice break from the usual type of gameplay. Those maps would suit us well on Beg 2 as well.

We're trying to change up the maps every 2-3 weeks if possible. Baserace might be a good addition but a frag map like Fragmaze/Purefrag would be hell, and I'd say a lot of people would leave if you had 12v12 or more on a small frag map. BBA Castle would be a nice addition.

+1 for Baserace (maybe desert or night or winter ) and BBA Castle but purefrag / fragmaze as valk said might be hell and would not be fun to play in .  BBA Castle is a good map there is 1 more CTF Map i forgot its name (its in space ) that would be good too.

Some suggestions based of playing on the server a lot, I don't see these maps played as much as others, I want to help @Ins4ne with the refreshing the maps every 2-3 weeks so we can keep the server rolling.

 

Maps OUT:

Adlernest (I was thinking we could replace this with the roof version of the map).

Haunted Mansion

Eagle_2ways_b3

 

Maps IN:

Adlernest roof version: [et.trackbase.net] » Map details for map: Adlernest Roof Beta 1

Millenium Falcon 2 Final: [et.trackbase.net] » Map details for map: Millenium Falcon 2 Final

Baserace Final: [et.trackbase.net] » Map details for map: Baserace Final

We have a few maps on beg2 that are good for a lot of players but I'm basing the removal lists off if they're are played regularly or not.

We used to have Fragmaze on in the past and if I recall correctly it was mildly popular (voted in ever so often). With a lot of players it doesn't work well, but that can be said of many smaller maps. I'd expect people to self-regulate by not voting for Fragmaze if there's too many players online.

 

Eagles used to be a popular map, but somehow has lost its popularity over the past weeks. I only ever see it on when there are not many players around. The map certainly has its issues with our game settings, as without fall damage Allies can easily capture the first and second flag and secure the gas canisters within a couple of minutes. Maybe changing the map duration could help with balancing and its waning popularity (e.g. 20 instead of 30 minutes).

 

In general I see a stronger tendency than before of voting in the same maps over and over again by the players. Not so popular maps like Decay or Eagles have a harder time nowadays than they used to have. This might be in part due to us having many of the most popular maps all in one map cycle (Italy, Goldrush, Special Delivery, Bremen, Supply Depot, Pirates, Beach etc). Taking out some of those super popular maps could give some less popular maps an opportunity to shine and prevent fatigue from playing the same maps over and over again.

I was going to write something similar today regarding the same maps being voted over and over again, I think we're all to blame on beg2 for doing it, I like to play Venice, Italy a lot. Maybe if we take our a couple of the more popular maps, we might see a rise in others.

Those maps are popular for a reason. We have regulars joining us to play 2-3 games and I'm sure they would love to play their favourite maps. Removing the most voted maps can kill server in my eyes, especially now in summer time..

Baserace is hell for newbies with adre and DJ on beg2 but now Steam's popularity is gone and we have summer time so less new players.. I think we can give it a chance but with careful observation of how the players react. 😄

out:

=F|A= Oasis

Saberpeak
Subway
Dubrovnik 

in:
Transmitter: https://et.trackbase.net/map/37/
Streets of Italy FP 2: https://et.trackbase.net/map/48/

Baserace: https://et.trackbase.net/map/131/

Can you give a reason for Saberpeak, I for one like the map because it breaks up playing the same ones all the time.

 

I think we should have more maps like this, breaks the cycle of the same popular ones.

Keep saberpeak  and oasis ( I know its a popular map but removing it would be bad as ins4ne said it would kill the server)
instead remove decay. Transmitter is a good addition and  what's the point of removing Italy if u r adding it again but different version streets of Italy FP 2
Should be 
Out:
Subway
Dubrovnik
Decay

In 

Transmitter: https://et.trackbase.net/map/37/

Baserace: https://et.trackbase.net/map/131/
Millenium Falcon 2 Final   https://et.trackbase.net/map/122/ 
my suggestion

Millennium Falcon would be good, and Italy should stay because it's a good map for a large amount of players. Transmitter could work also.

 

Plus we need maps that haven't been played for ages or before, so it's freshens up the server.
