Even though I love playing on the Lethal Zone servers I think the map rotation could use some work. Some maps are server killers. Custom maps like Roswell and Cranetop don't often win the vote, but when they do the server usually dies pretty fast. Any chance these maps could be removed from the rotation?
It is possible. But it still puzzles me, that people vote for it, and then leave. Must be a bunch of nitwits just pushing the 1 button to get the menu out of their faces...
Roswell is not that good of a map to be honest... so I wouldn't mind to kick it out. Can't say much about Cranetop, since I never really played it. Furnace is meh. Has potential, but just too crammed for 24 players.
It is because the map vote pops up reall sudden, if you happen to switch to the most used key 1, then you automaticly vote for map 1. I still like to see some kind of warning 3 secs before the vote starts.
Yea indeed. I often end up voting by accident for those maps and then they end up winning too. :cry: Another server I sometimes play on has a warning system that a map vote is coming up. A system like that would maybe be a good idea for Lethal Zone too. Reduces the chance of accidental miss votes...
Could we like replace junction by badlands or something? I see junction coming up so much in the votes and when it wins, half the server leaves, while I've never seen badlands anywhere near a vote in the last weeks
yeh not that big of a fan on Rosswel or Cranetop myself also big vote to push Junction out, i really dont like that map and i've had the accidental mapvote happen to me too, rly frustrating when you finally have a map you've been wanting to play and it then loses by one vote so the countdown thingy sounds really good to me
More love for badlands. But I have an idea... instead of this constant "I want this map - I want this map in"... What if just everbody makes his own list? Then we could compare who prefers which map. Of course all those maps need to be split in three groups for the vote... I'm not too sure how the current groups are build up, but it's something like "Official Alltime favorites", "Official underdogs" and "Custom maps", but that's something we could also restructure. Like make the groups depending on the maptype. Like Payloads, 5 CP maps, and Attack/Defend CPs and Miscellaneous (CTF, TC etc.). What do you guys think?
@ gauchemar: Groupnames are just names. The only thing we look at is that you don't get 2 or 3 similar maps ( f.i popular or customs) like dustbowl/goldrush in the same vote. Groups appear in random order, so for instance you can get goldrush on 1 the first time and the second time it appears on option 3. Regulars know by now we have a vote, it's there for 45 seconds, so pressing 1 just to get rid of it is unnecessary since you ads player/regular have the ability to determine the maps played. Really, automapvote is the best option next to running just 1 map on a server only. Removed junction, roswell. Badlands is a server emptier too, just noticed that again. Badlands came on server went from 24 to 3. So no badlands. More suggestions for good, new maps in the vote?
I know there is a vote option, however when I am in a firefight I tend to switch weapons. When the vote comes up unanounced and TADAAH, I voted voor goldbowl again. Also just remove Junction it fails so hard.
I don't see what the problem is with the accidental voting, can't everyone just use next and previous weapon buttons like me, I mean, it's not like Duke3D where you had 20 weapons, there's only 3 slots for crying out loud
lol? what's wrong with ''k'' or ''j'' since 123 etc are used for gunswitches and eh.. mapvotes and the sort?
wasd for the usual erf for the 3 voice menu's and then the numbers above to use, i dont touch the numbpad at all on the right
Custom maps working very well are eeeh is hoodoo. Swift usually works too. Rest is either crap (roswell, labor, rest of the custom maps that were added randomly without any comment), too large, or not the taste of the average pubber.
