Currently the mapvote is rather pointless because there is always just 1 "good" map to choose from. (Always Dustbowl, Goldrush, Badwater or gravelpit.) So I hope that there would always be 2 good maps to choose from. Like pairing them up. Like in the same vote there would be dustbowl and goldrush. And after Goldbowl, there would be 2 decent maps, like fastlane and badwater. The 3rd map in the vote would be always some custom map or some of the new ones.
why change it , its running fine , like a vote today 16 peeps voted for dustbowl of 24 , couple days ago 18 peeps voted for goldrush . so why change the settings if peeps want to play it and it keep the servers filled ? i also witnessed a vote where more peeps wanted to play egypt instead of goldrush , i know gold and dust are played many times but if the players want to play it , why not ?
i think the mapvote we have now is just fine, sure its far from perfect but its flexible and we have even seen the rise of older maps again, i never tought i'd see people consiously pick Hydro for example wich just baffles me the repeated Dustbowl option is a lil flaw in the vote that will get ironed out over time, if there's an admin online there's also always the option for a request instead of an immature "MAPVOTE SUCKS" btw just ask for another map, if there's enough support behind it and it didnt ran like a map or 2 ago most of the mods online will listen
happend twice this morging. eh mike? we even managed to fill a little bit on well. though the really unbalanced teams were a bit sucky...
I also really like the current mapcote config, nice cycle of maps. Though it occured to me yesterday that perhaps most people don't know there's an 'extend map' option too. We were playing one of the more popular maps on a full server and the mapvote was between 3 rather less popular maps and the extend map option only had like 1 or 2 votes, certainly alot less than I would have expected.
well, i like the voting in theory.... but in practice its just to "standard". I played most of the weekend and basicly saw only 3 maps. Dustbowl, Granary and Badwater ... oh, and badlands. I miss alot of the "old" maps like turbine, castle V2, steel, 2fort and alot more whose name i cant remember. Those maps dont even seem to be in the rotation...
the problem with the old maps is that its a 50/50 map . 50 % like them 50 % don't . so its hard to play those maps cause many wanne play dust / gold / badwater / badlands .
You can ^^ A while back people left on that map but times change of course It's back in and granary ( whyyyy ^^) is out for the moment since that one empties the server more often than not. Castle always empties the server altough i personally like it a lot, same with 2fort. For that map it seems players either love or hate, not much in between. Today i already saw maps like turbine, labor, gravelpit , junction and egypt on the servers, so it's not like the same maps are played over and over, they vary a lot fortunately.
yea, but thats personal opinion. even tho i dont like 2fort , i would rather play it then neverending map hydro which seems to be played a lot now ....
