et server suggestion Expanding number of slots on Silent#1 and Hardcore?

[(FORCE)]

The popularity of the Silent#1 and Hardcore servers has grown tremendously over time. My question to you =F|A= Community is do you think the leaders should expand the # of slots on these servers from 32 plus to 64. This move may cause more lag on the servers and many more bots will be present when their aren't a lot of players but it would allow more players to play on the server being much less likely to become a full server when players cannot connect to the server. Please let me know your thoughts on this suggestion.

 

Sincerely yours,

Same popularity "issue" happens on b2, though that one doesn't get full.

I think we don't need more slots as most players prefer 16v16 over 32v32. Extra popular servers are the solution, maybe making our nq3/nq2 servers silent mod.

Don't touch our NQ 3, with its lovely bit-wise GameDay commands!

I honestly love nq3 as it is. But I would also love to see some players on it

[schNee]

NO pls don't!! server is lagging when there are more than 26 player are on. please dont

and some maps are just not nice to play. e.g. adler, braun, frost, ice. the most are not playable. the people come there to play objective. if u play with 64 slot server its more a mess than serious gaming imo

 

maybe add another server, i dunno how much it costs more than making a 32 to 64 slot server.. i have no clue.

 

but yes a lot of people loving the server. full very often. whats good, but most people become mad when it becomes so full

Speaking of this, I think Jay 1 should be reduced so Jay 2 becomes more populated

[Gengis]

Having more slots means the maps we play coudnt be the same. Many maps are fine for 30 players but not for 40.

More slots means a different was to play too.

So why should we change a winning formula ?

 

But yes those servers are not easy to join. Especially the last fews days when HC was often full.

Maybe buy a private slot ?

 

My 2 cents

Umm there's still Fun1, EU server with silent mod that's not very populated. Let's fill that one up first

Jay1 and Jay2 have different settings. Jay1 is almost always full at peak times and players get redirected to Jay2 then iirc. If they don't want to play there, it's their decision. We all have our favourite server after all.

 

Again, we all know that ET is an old game with a declining number of players and that a server's popularity is fickle. We try to overcome this with recruiting or moving members to create a loyal playerbase for each server. Last I checked, NQ2, 3 and Fun1 all lack those. I, personally, don't see much potential in NQ2 and 3 (although they gave us members such as Platonic and D..X, so you won't see me complain...much ). I do have hopes for Fun1.

 

I really don't believe that tweaking on server slots numbers will get the desired results, although I can't remember whether this has been done already or not.

Personally I wouldn't open new slots, I think the game is very good the way it is, with the maps we are playing.

 

Opening slots would completely change the game and the action on server, we don't this to become over populated

 

Maps like supply depot, delivery, bremen, braundorf would become crazy unplayable imo.

 

Wasn't that full this summer but yeah, winter is coming weather is chilly so people play ET...

If u would have suggested this somedays before i would have supported but i think it wouldnt help our servers.. i had suggested this to increase slot in INSurgency server but when i was explained y cant how it effects i understood... The thing about increasing slots is that it helps in someway but harms in alot.. Lag increase.. bot counts increases..and the small maps get effected and crowded which leads to people leaving the server...If u see jay1 it is always crowded and alot of people lag but alot doesnt .... and cause of its crowded people often whine,abuse etc... its better to get a new server rather than increasing slot..

I suggest keeping Hardcore as-is, but also suggest creating a new server called Hardcore II, with exactly the same settings.

 

When Hardcore is filled, players trying to connect there could be redirected to HC II.

 

My II cents.

We don't change settings of server A to settings of server B. Still, as the popularity has grown, I will report it to DD if we can create some new server.

Might set up new server, but then again, we have beginners 2, which is as well silent and isnt that popular over the silent 1 and hardcore as for increasing slots, definitely a big no, its laggy already as it is, when 32 ppl get stuck on silent, its really unplayable even with top notch pc, not to mention on smaller maps and without double jump making it too much of a mess than it already is, as for hardcore, it has perfect slots now, increasing that would just pretty much ruin entire gameplay, with too much heavy weapons and not to mention the amount of increased teamkills.

What about working on B2 instead of creating a new server ? Could we consider to change the configuration of B2 so it would be more like HC/silent1 ?

 

And then what about redirecting HC/Silent1 to B2 ? For now they redirect to each other so it doesnt help populating another server.

 

My 2 cents.

B2 is popular enough so no need. We could consider that for fun1 though.
