Due to how underpopulated the mod and how hard it has gotten to start up the server i would like to make a suggestion and get feedback
make the server have only popular maps like
zpo_harvest
zps_cineme
zpo_snuggles
etc.....
and cut out about 70% of the current map selection
it is eithier we have a server with limited maps and probably more populated or we have a server with no players but alot of maps and just a few cg members coming in from time to time
it is something i don't want to do either but it makes sense and it is something i think we should be willing to git it a try
-
I agree, we need to remove several of the maps, and look around for those maps that populate other servers.
I have been a bit frustrated, as I cannot play as often as I wish (laptop overheats after about an hour of play)
The one with Fog is written so bad...
I suggest talking to scottytabs as he plays a lot - to find new maps...
-
okay ya i definetly agree i have actually been looking around a bit watching my bro play and it seems CVG populates their server by biotec and aqutica in my opion the main maps that should stay are
1.snuggles (its like the legend and probably almost all of the admins favs defineitly mine lol)
2.deathtrap (their are actually alot of people that like this map)
3.harvest (just the oringinal u kinda have to have it)
4.armory (just the original armory none of that zombie aromory bullshit)
5.church seige final (this is still a great map but their are some pretty updated maps of this theirs a church map thats called the bunker its really good)
6.cineme (this is an oldie but still alot of people enjoy this)
7.one map we should add like i said is aquitica (it just good populater)
8.biotec (this is a classic and defineitly needs to stay)
now i have made 8 suggestions if anyone else can think of 2 more or find 2 more that populate will and we injoy then i think were set wat do u guys think do u all like the 8 i picked out their. :D
-
People like cabin maps. :)
-
yes hallow people do like cabin maps i agree but i dont think we should put any cabin maps in if anything we should just put in the regular one but ya they do have a 24/7 server for biotec and my bro says some guy in CVG is creating a space biotec now that would great if we could find a map builder
-
Yes keep Armory (server populating) and a few fun maps, like snuggles, and no maps with fog (poor frame rates, and lagging.) Periodically, a fresh map would be advisable, as it will keep people interested...
-
ya i agree no fog maps or any of that lagging crap
-
Should still keep maps like redqueen OR klusark, kerreti, van dodgeball
Aside: hideout for admin nominatable map
-
lol ummm i do agree red queen for sure and kereti but eh about the other one
-
OH i almost forgot could someone plz put the new updated version of snuggles on
-
link?
or full name of the map
-
okay ill get it from my friend when i get the chance
-
okay i got the new version of snuggles he says hes going to be making another one soon that has another floor or something so will see soon but for now theirs the updated snuggles
zpo_snuggles_v1
-
While it might "help" populate, having only 10 maps, it will also deter other players from our server. I remember having only 4 pages of maps in nominate and hearing "Jesus this server doesn't have any maps".
Nothing's really going to help the server till we have more people playing on it..
-
pillz u are right we diffenitly need to get the server back to its original state and get the regular players back but at the same time when we have soooo many maps a group of people tend to choose a map that alot of people dont rlly like and then some people leave so maybe not 10 maps but id say it shouldnt be above 20 maps and ive been trying to recruit a few people but some people are more interested in the admin than in the forums but we will keep trying to recruit and populate
oh and i believe we do have a few regulars but the problem is the servers usally empty so they leave and join another server so what i suggest we start doing is whenever u see someone that uve seen on the server before add them to your friends list because i have one regular on my friends list and whenever i invite him he comes so its just the matter of picking out those regulars so just keep a close eye out
-
It's kind of hard to read run on sentences when you're high.
Anyway, the thing where people leave the server after map change? I've seen that happen on biotec, shreddingfield, even on armory, coming from snuggles with like 10 players, and so on. It can happen anywhere. The end of a map is just a convinient place to leave the game, or rage if you rather not play the next map. Etc.
Sure, sometimes the map deters them from continuing, but where some players really like maps, other players really hate them. The server doesn't stay full after you change to any given map, usually, someone will leave, one to three on average I'd say. Five or more and it's a kind of a problem, but you'll get over it, and if it's like eight or more, it's time to RTV again.
Yeah, the adding people thing is really the key, it keeps it kind of personal and makes people you've added feel more inclined to come play again, rather than forgetting about the experience on our server completely and never returning.
Meh, if they rather play somewhere else than help start our server up, to hell with them! Not really, but rawr. It'd be nice if they tried to help us out..
-
haha ya i probably have the worst run on sentances in the world lol.gif but i admit periods are just not my thing XP anyways ya uve got a point so whenever someone (probably wholegrain) gets the chance just add a few more maps back.
actually i think what we should do is put all the maps we currently have on a forum and then take a close look at them and get all the admins opions on what maps should stay and what should go.
cause from many past experiences i dont know if its just me which it could be but every single time the map gets changed to zomboing it seems to crash, that was one of my favorite maps which i think most of u knew, oh plus snuggles thats the best XP but ya just everyone should have their opions and will quiet frankly im really not even sure who is admin on zps anymore cause the list isnt very updated and i dont see very many admins on when im on so just sayin the admin list should be updated and reveiwed.(this should probably be added to the list of things to do)
-
Zomboeing was STUPID RETARDED HUGE. That's probably why. We played for like 14 minutes, assuming this annoying little foriegn kid raged on map change, but then he finally connected and complained about how long the map took to download. We can't really come down on admins like that atm anyway, since I myself, have hardly been playing. We, as a community, haven't been playing ZPS, basically. Once I get control panel I'll start managing it more though, removing completely inactive people unless they're important or something and etc.
-
ya i remember all of that, I also remember learning a BIG lesson from that map experience XP but ya okay
-
I like smash cannon :D
-
lol patty
-
We need new maps... maybe a few new death runs everyone plays those
