Everyone who is interest can participate: give the names of the worse maps in the silent 1 rotation screen and i will try to change it for the previous suggested ones. Do not bother to think the most common maps will be out of the votation and we already know it: sd2, frost, oasis, etc, etc. Players love those maps and no matter what, they vote for it over and over and over...so do i.

I was told repeatedly that suggestion I make on the server(Jay1) should be directed to the forums. But when I see threads like this, it is extremely discouraging. The fact is, most players don't utilize the forums, so getting real time feedback from those that choose to play on your servers seems invaluable, at least to me. When a topic is brought up, anyone has the option to add their two cent in real-time. Punting the conversation to a forum that will give you the run-around for 9 months doesn't really scream "community". That being said, I'll attempt to relay some suggestions here. These are all directed towards Jay1. Maybe this is simply a waste of my time. Hopefully not. I want to preface this by saying I've never maintained a server, nor do I have a developer background, so I don't have an inkling on how difficult these changes would be. I'll take that into consideration and fully expect the experience folks out there to keep me honest. 1. Nothing scales The biggest issue I see on Jay1 is that there is an enormous swing in player count throughout the day. Without having things(e.g. 'weapon count' or 'spawn times') scale with the player count leads to obvious balancing issues. I doubt F|A runs metrics on Jay1, but if they did, they would notice how much more often the defending team wins with a high player count, and conversely, how often the attacking team wins with a low player count - especially when bots are taken into consideration (I'll touch more on this in a bit). I understand that this is a server that is tailored towards non-competitive players, so 'fun' should always be the driving force in the decision-making process. That being said, there is an incredible amount of spam with a high player count. Maps are full of choke points, so when 4 players are spamming grenades, pushing is through is quite difficult. Now say there are 6 players throwing grenades. Now add a mortar. And now add 3 rifle grenades. Can you see how the 'fun factor' starts to lower as players are no longer really engaging in combat? This isn't even taking into consideration the players on your own team that are also spamming grenades in the same choke point. This issue seems like it would probably be the most difficult to address. Scaling seems like it would involve algorithms adjusting in real-time. The simpler answer might be to start putting a limit on some of the spam weapon, or nerfing the ones that already have restrictions. These don't have to be significant adjustments either. A little can go a long way in some cases. Here are a few examples off the top of my head: Add limits to rifle grenades and grenades. I don't have a good number for rifle grenades, but you shouldn't need to hold more than 2 grenades. Adjust artillery duration. It feels like artillery can be called as soon as the previous one finishes with a full level lieutenant. This prevents opportunities to push between artillery strikes. Adjust panzer fire rate or reload time. If the player using a panzer also has access to an MP40/Thompson, they shouldn't be able to rally off panzer shots at that rate. The panzer felt like a balance part of the game in RTCW, but that class somehow got a boost in almost every conceivable way on Jay1. The easiest thing to do would be to limit the player count to something like 16v16. This would solve a lot by itself, and maybe even send some traffic over to the lonely Jay2. 2. Recognize which weapons are only 'fun' for the players using them This topic may be the one I am most vocal about. There are a number of weapons that I feel have no place in Wolfenstein. Another player jokingly made a comment to me before(which I wholeheartedly agree with) when he said "Sometimes you just die, huh?" referring to Jay1. Look, I'm not here to argue their removal. I'm going on the assumption that they're here to stay. Knives. This may be the most obvious one. Having a weapon in the game that makes it so another player can't really play the game anymore seems crazy to me. I've never experience a weapon like that before in an FPS, and I hope never to again. But if it's here to stay, it should be far less impactful. I've seen whole squads get taken out because someone threw a knife. Friendly medics put down their weapons to help a teammate(because teamwork is good, right?) only to get steamrolled by the other team. When the best option is to NOT help your teammate, it's worth reviewing in my opinion. - Let medics heal themselves. I may never understand the logic behind this choice. If a medic has to pull out health packs in the middle of a fight and you STILL can't kill him, then you don't deserve the kill. This one seems obvious to me. - Knives deal a ridiculous amount of initial damage. They shouldn't do more damage than a bullet, right? See argument above. - Limit knives to 2 max. If you miss a shot, you are able to pick up the knife again. This doesn't apply to any other weapon, so there should be more focus on limiting how many you can have. Mines. This is one of the worst ideas for an FPS. Any weapon in an FPS should require you to 'aim' to some degree. But as I said before, I'm not here to argue their removal. - Increase the time is takes to plant a mine. Planting a mine in real life takes quite a bit of time I imagine. While understanding that this is a game, maybe planting a minefield in 30 seconds is a bit much. - Decrease the time it take to 'detect' a mine. Some people enjoy spectating as much as playing, and watching a player spend time detecting mines for their team is probably as boring as it is for the player. That time is better spent engaging the enemy, but teamwork is good, right? Mortar. This falls under that "Sometimes you just die" category. Maybe slow the fire rate? Decrease the AOE? I don't know. It's too similar to artillery, and nobody asked for more artillery. It's almost as mindless as mines, but requires the minimal amount of aim(if you want to call it that). 2. Sten The sten is the only weapon with a clear downside. It overheats(a bit too quickly IMO). The upside to the sten is that it is accurate at long distances. Unfortunately, the falloff damage completely negates the only upside. I've gone through clips trying to kill someone long-range with a sten. The MP40/Thompson are plenty accurate short/midrange, so the only benefit to using the sten is just to challenge yourself, which I don't think was ever it's intention. People may argue that it's meant to be stealthy, but Jay1 gives the enemy the ability to identify you as a 'Disguised Enemy'. If you're being stealthy, the sten is probably you worst option. It has a silencer, but anyone with a headset can hear the damn thing. - Increase the bullets in takes to overheat, or decrease the cool-down rate. - Adjust the falloff damage so the only upside the sten has isn't negated. This seems like enough to start with, so I'll give folks a chance to chime in on what I presented so far. I've always enjoyed servers like this, ever since RTCW, but i believe there is always room for improvement. - MoFo

After playing a few rounds today with omnibots it seems they are well rather dumb. Seeing as I am rather bored today and enjoy coding AI systems I was wondering could machine learning be coded into the pathing and reactions for omnibot. So I had a request would this be something =F|A= is interested in and if so I can easily convert replay files into actions that could be used to train a network for AI that would act quite similar to real life players filtering the 0 ping player as "corrupt" so it does not learn from any current OMNIbot looking at the source at gibhub the framework is quite open and this seems like not a large undertaking to really do code wise. The largest part of the project would be training the AI for which I would need the largest sample of replay files I could reasonably get. Let me know if people are interested in this it sounds like a fun project.

I assume suggestions are welcomed, thought I'd throw mine into the hat. I was always kind of against legacy, just didn't sit right for me, and some bits I am still adjusting too, probably the same for a lot of others, as I play ETPro more and have done. But playing on the F|A legacy yesterday throughout, it's not bad. I did notice that there aren't any skills, and I know for scrims that's good but for pubs, maybe not. Even if you had level 1 on all stats, but make it so it's not easily achievable, for example, have light weapons level 1 and have the required xp set to 100/120. Also some maps are a bit far fetched, looking at TM and their legacy server, they have the standard maps you'd find on an ETPro public server, not saying to copy but would be nice.

Hey guys, Had a thought, I know, dangerous. How hard is it to change the bot's name? could we potentially change the bot's name to match holidays/festivities? Thought it might be fun to have like "pumpkin head" or similar as a bots name at halloween, and change their colors, but if it's difficult to rename them that's not a good idea? thanks, Mad P.S. happy to help pick or vote on numbers/names, or work on a script to implement for this if anyone would like that help?

Hey, whomever has access to the server CFG, is there any possibility you can move the FPS cap from 250 to 333 please? it would be appreciated thanks

ET Server Suggestion Maybe it's hard to do but is it possible???
ZeroZeroDb posted a topic in ET Suggestion
I remember playing Oasi reversed a few times where the path is reversed compared to the traditional one; now I wonder if it is also possible to reverse the roles of Axis and Allies on some maps. Did I ask a stupid question?🤗 -
OK, so I have been trying to think this out and say it all the "right" way, but I suck at that. So, anyway, Jay 1 is a good example of what ET is these days and that's less about skills development and more about chaotic free-for-all, just get as many kills as possible anyway you can. But there are people who still try and play skillfully, that aren't high-skilled players naturally such as Nightmare, Bunny and some others are. Maybe people who could never be that good got frustrated and moved away from being more skilled and chose to just melee-kill, which is fine, if that's what they choose. Recently, I've paid attention to how I get killed and almost never is it by a default SMG (Thompson or FG42). It's almost always by heavy weapons. rifle-nade, Heavy MG, Panzer, Flame, arty, mortar or M97. This tells me that that is just too much of these types of weapons available. I'm not asking to radically change the game, I wouldn't want to do that. but to make it so heavy weapons are still available without frustrating people who still like to use old-school game sense and tactics, but limited. I've been told the idea is for everyone to enjoy the server, right? So what about some limits, if possible. Less Rifle-nades, M97's and only 1 Heavy MG and a limit on the poison gas and arty that gets spammed horribly. I've sat back in a corner and just listened to one person throw non-stop arty. I mean non-stop. This would make the game still full of the "fun" weapons and make it more able to be played by skilled-minded people without being constantly slammed by arty, rifle nades, etc., so I ask that the admins look at this seriously, consider it and not just brush it off quickly

It's not a good or sensible game if you're constantly throwing hand grenades into spawn. When everyone has a million or more grenades. You should have fun on all servers and not get annoyed with certain players, or? Maybe something can be changed about that. A small video is attached. 2024-02-20-142405-braundorf_final.dm_84

Hi, I was wondering if there's any interest for something like MarketGarden, which is a map that is symmetrical in that BOTH teams have an objective to accomplish, but the catch is that there is a limited number of lives for each player. Therefore, at least ONE player must remain when all other players have been eliminated, and must have the class requirement to complete the level. Anybody?

I suggestion there is no topic for hardcore server. Start suggesting ones in this map going forward. Format: Remove: map A Add: map B So to add new map you have to suggest which existing maps need to be replaced. Without that I will ignore the request.

So, I've noticed the number of bots on Jay1 are a little extreme. I personally feel there's no need for so many especially when teams are 8v8-10v10, etc. I've done some talking with the regulars and everyone is getting quite annoyed with the bots blocking, not reviving, wasting arty, being more of a pain in the ass rather than actually being helpful. Some maps they are completely useless as the bots have no idea where to go or what they're doing. Most people leave when the bots start connecting as it is. People don't join our server to kill bots, and it is the most populated server in ET. I don't see people leaving our server due to lack of bots to kill. I took a couple ss of tonight's gameplay as examples of the nightly gameplay around Jay1. Grant you today is Saturday night, but I still feel the bots could be limited or possibly having a !command to remove the bots. I agree with having bots when server is very limited on players, but like some other mods we should have bots removed when the player count reaches a certain limit. Please cast a vote and leave any feedback here, it is greatly appreciated!

ET Server Suggestion Feature on all servers - Winning streak
blast3r posted a topic in ET Suggestion
Hi all! Our servers have the goal to be a place to entertain people, but we take it seriously. I believe that a feature like a Team winning streak will give two different perspectives: - To balance teams can give an idea of a strong team for a while. - As a fun and motivator factor to indicate the team that is playing better than others. Let me know your thoughts!-

i believe if we jointhe server and wait a bit more will be joining and maybe we can revive the server : )

I'm going to share my thoughts on balance for the Silent#1 server specifically. I've been playing on the =F|A= silent servers (Silent#1 and Hardcore) for many years, so I know the mod and the regular players quite well. I also played ETLegacy (on other communities) and some ETPro scrims. I used to be a level 14 =F|A= admin as well (I think it was 14 ), before I decided to leave the community. So, I know some things about team balance in general, and team balance specifically in Silent#1. I'll start saying that balance is not an absolute thing. It's relative to the map, and to the stage on that map, as well as to the current amount of players, and to the skill and playstyle of those players. For example, the first stage of the map Braundorf or Erdenberg is quite hard for Allies to go through, so the game could feel unbalanced in favor of Axis. But the second stage becomes very hard for Axis to defend, so the game is now unbalanced in favor of Allies. In this case I recommend helping the attacking team so they go through the first stage, and then switch back to the defending team. Also, there are some maps, like Beerrun and Goldrush (any version), that are just unplayable when the server is crowded. In these cases I suggest just stacking the attacking team. Some maps are just great when it's an 8v8, but become very unbalanced if it's a 16v16. More players means more granades, more heavy weapons and less space to move. How to balance Beerrun on a 16v16, where Allies just die and die without making any progress? Again, just stack the weaker team. And by that I mean literally using !putteam and make Allies have +3 players if necessary. There's a very annoying banner that pops out when a team is +3, and I think it should be removed, since sometimes it is necessary to have a team with more players in order to achieve balance. Even teams is not necessarily balanced teams. Sometimes, a 18v15 is perfectly balanced, specially on small maps with a crowded server, and when the defending team has very skilled players. How to know if a game is unbalanced? The #1 tool for this is the command /scores. This command shows you a few things in console, but the most important one you should keep an eye on is team scores. I mean the numbers highlighted in red in the image: Team scores are amazingly accurate in telling you which team is having the upper hand. Usually the defending team will have higher scores, and this is fine in most maps. But when there's a +50 difference it starts to be an issue, and if it's +100 the game feels very unbalanced. Check the scores at the beginning and at the end of each map, and try to act accordingly. Maps like Goldrush need to have Allies with a lead in scores in order for that map to be balanced. The other tool is just experience. Knowing the maps and knowing the server regular players is a pretty solid way of telling if teams are stacked. I don't care what map and how many players are currently playing, if Phreak and Raider are on the same team, that team is stacked. So, you generally want to have the same amount of "pros" in each team. That's why having an 18v15 is okay some times, because the players that really make the difference are the pros. Is !howfair useful? No, I don't think !howfair (the color choice is absolutely accidental) is useful. I mean, if it says "Fix the teams!" then the game it's probably unbalanced, but it's not reliable since it's based on KR. I'd just check the amount of pros on each team. How to fix teams? Just move yourself if possible, or move others. Admins have !putteam to make this easier. And as I said, if the map is being a hell, just use !putteam and make a team at least +2. The only admin I've seen doing this is ogeazy and some times mobius. There is also the infamous !shuffle (the color choice is absolutely accidental). This command is horrible, and the fact that teams are autoshuffled every 3 maps hurts my soul. The command is garbage because it shuffles on KR, and KR is almost as inflated as the Argentine coin. The values are very distorted and even if they weren't, it still wouldn't be the best thing to shuffle on. It would be way better if shuffle was done on total damage given for example. But still, /scores, experience and !putteam are your best tools. I strongly recommend removing autoshuffle, and telling admins not to use it. Autoshuffle could be replaced by autoswapteams for example. Spawntimers are also something that could help in balance. The more amount of time players are dead, the less time they are actually playing. So high spawntimers makes it so the server feels less crowded. However, I feel that having low spawntimers is kinda the essence of Silent#1. In conclusion, check /scores and don't be afraid to use !putteam and making a team +2 or +3. Also don't use !shuffle or !howfair.

ET Server Suggestion ET: map suggestion =F|A= RECRUITING XP SAVE
Wonder posted a topic in ET Suggestion
Lots of complaints lately on recruiting xp save server concerning the map rotation ( REMOVE MINAS OMG ADMINS ) Also i heard there was a new rotation on the way with admins motivating people to make their own map suggestions for it. So here i am. Keep in mind this is just a suggestion, there's always room for argue since I dont claim to be the most competent at map picking. -Elliot Frostbite Oasis SupplyDepot Radar Warbell Library Baserace Caen2 SW Battery BlackWood (?) Coast Goldrush (?) Adlernest Railgun (?) AxisLab Transmitter Rommel V1rocket Venice Pirates Raiders -
Hi everyone, i came with some suggestions of new changes for noq2 server. These are listed below: - replace maps: MML Minas Tirith, Subway final*, MLB Temple. All of these maps are boring. - new maps: Convoy Final, The Town, Fueldump Christmas, and some maps with snow that all is winter season and Christmas is coming soon.. - enable map voting back If one or more maps have not waypoints for bots then replace with other maps.
-
My suggestion is buff rnade and grenade. Maybe that way rifle will be more popular on the server (now is really weak).

ET Server Suggestion Reneving hidden maps in map pool on Beginners2
razjee posted a topic in ET Suggestion
We have 28 maps in rotation, 8 hidden and 20 for vote (one played map is hidden for the next 8 maps). We mostly play the same maps after cooldown, this is boring and I think 10 hidden maps is better option (only 2 less maps for vote). Because regulars can vote on "less popular maps"-
