ReLoaDeD Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 I don't like to play this map either. Its also an unfinished map because the strip of the airstrip doesn't belong to the airstrip. U can't damage it and can't rep it. 80% of the players leave when this map loads.
f1r3st0rm Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 yeah, put in glacier_flaying in the rotation 2
ultrared Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 This one is original tbh. By the way... what about terrace.mix.
StJohn Gumby Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 This one is original tbh. By the way... what about terrace.mix. I also like it. Unfortunately I think Creekdale suffers badly with players dropping out because it follows Field in the rotation. I think Terrace is a nice map but may be a little too big and favour Nod too much. I'd be happy to have it added to the rotation as a trial though. I'm disappointed that fan maps don't seem to go down well with Rencorner players, not because I like them, but because they freshen up the rotation. Most fan maps are either too big or favour Nod too much but there are some good ones that are worth trying out. Examples would be Niagra, Uphill and Mines. Currently I like Tomb and Creekdale, Bunkers less so but if we arranged the rotation better we might get more players on them. Gumby 1
Manta Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 I also like it. Unfortunately I think Creekdale suffers badly with players dropping out because it follows Field in the rotation. nah ... i dont think so ... this also happens if it was a field quicky. how long does the vote for the new maps last at all!? I think Terrace is a nice map but may be a little too big and favour Nod too much. is there a map where nod isnt overpowered? ^^ nothing kills a teched arty !! Its also an unfinished map because the strip of the airstrip doesn't belong to the airstrip. U can't damage it and can't rep it. nah ... its finished ... but think of u can hit that ... so no gdi tank would miss a shot ... that would be quite unfair to have that large target... wf on gdi is also very far away so u cannot hit it (only with arty) 1
Mikey Posted August 12, 2013 Posted August 12, 2013 I dislike this map too Personally it's just not enjoyable to play? And terrace wtf? No thanks
Manuel857 Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 oh and Why can't we play c&c_creekdale instead of flying? I would prefer not the flying map.
Volcom Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 I'll get a poll going. Glacier is not happening though. 1
dronez4 Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 The thing about glacier is when people actually have the map in the rotation, they complain and say the map is shit... but when it's not in the rotation, they want it.. so its an ongoing problem about this map.. we have tried that map time and time again and we loose players, So glacier isnt coming back 3
Mikey Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 Personally haven't really witnessed a mass dropout from glacier Iike the map it's fast paced and the field is great with the two routes to enemy bases but whatever maps keep players evidently its what we need
bad2gurlz Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 oooo me no like creekdale the name gives me the creeps, glacier cool (maybe)
shaitan Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 It has taken you guys this long to see the new maps(a lot of you wanted) wouldn't be a hit? *snorts*
StJohn Gumby Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 Like I said, I think one of the reasons for large player drops is where they run in the rotation. i.e Creekdale after Field, Tomb after City_Flying and Bunker _TS after Under. They all follow really popular maps. Siege and Snow seem to work OK but have better locations in the rotation. Try switching Creekdale and Tomb with Snow and Siege and see if player count improves would be my suggestion. Gumby
shaitan Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 You always have a player drop after Field and Under on 'this' server. Put whatever maps you want in there, it'll do it. Put these maps in there, it gets worse. The lasttime I check the ingame polling was against all three maps.
CerealKlr Posted August 13, 2013 Posted August 13, 2013 Players leave after a 2 hour map regardless of what comes next, at least I do even for a minute to eat or w/e. I don't even know what the current rotation is, but maybe 3 short maps after field and 3 more after Under. Islands seems to bring the most players to kick off a dead or dying server, (its fun with just 2) so maybe have it follow both field, and Under first in the rotation. Then another standard short map, then introduce your new map, that way all the players have warmed up and are ready to keep playing, instead of tired and wanting to eat. just my 2 cents 1
ehh Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 put a rush map after under/field/city fly i suppose
Feda Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 Actually bunkers and tomb are doing fine in the in-game poll, kind of 50%, creekdale got owned though
CerealKlr Posted August 14, 2013 Posted August 14, 2013 I watched this today after 2 hour field, half the players left before the new map even loaded. I think they just leave because 2 hours of Field makes you do that, not because Creekdale came up next......the ones that were there when Creekdale loaded, stayed the whole game. I like the map, but Ill play whatever is running on the server.
Good-One-Driver Posted August 15, 2013 Posted August 15, 2013 yeah, put in glacier_flaying in the rotation prob the best thing you have ever said suka
shaitan Posted August 16, 2013 Posted August 16, 2013 Forgot to mention that the script was redone some to allow you to see the polls when they update. mapspoll And the ending map stats get updated there too.
WNxKenny Posted August 16, 2013 Author Posted August 16, 2013 Agree with shaitan about tge drop out, it doesn't matter what maps you put in, anything after field is usually a drop out. Do we really need all tge new maps? Tomb I can adapt to, its an alright map, bunkers is shite with a small player count and tends to be more favoured by gdi imo. Couldn't a popular map like field or islands not go into the rotation twice?
