And So Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 I hardly shearing my thoughts with server and maps with you guys ,but this is just nonsence that we have 2 kind of GoldRush in our server ? Are we out of maps or what is the reason of it ? Also like to know who came up with this idea or was this another voting system that i missed ? Don´t get me wrong ,im not against Goldrush but 2 versions of it in 1 server is not normal when we have so many other maps what people would love(lighthouse,axis lab etc. ) Thanks ! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyBiondillo Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) Axis lab ain't that good of a map to be honest. Lighthouse is only good for someone to climb up and commit jump-suicide (wink-wink). EDIT: Put stalin on server already, it's a good map.

And So Posted December 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 These maps were just example your not getting my point i see Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyBiondillo Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Yeah i got your point. That's why i said those new maps from the events should be added to the server. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And So Posted December 6, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 Yeah but @ same time while they are adding and voting new maps there should be also new maps not 2 similiar maps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Charlie Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 There's a poll and a topic letting everyone vote for up to 3 maps to be added to the server from the map test event. We'll add whatever gets the most votes there when the voting closes, and remove 3 rarely played maps in return (I think). We have 2 versions of goldrush because the original and sw are equally popular. It's been set so a goldrush will only be available to vote for after about 8-10 maps. It alternates what version is put in to the voting pool, so for example it'll be:- Goldrush ... 8 maps ... Goldrush sw ... 8 maps ... goldrush etc. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TommyBiondillo Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 (edited) It's the harsh truth. People are afraid of change and prefer stagnation.

Charlie Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 It's you guys that decide what maps get added or taken away for the most part, from suggestions here to how many votes maps get on the server. I asked pretty much the same thing when it got decided we'd try this hehe. I don't like goldrush personally *Waits for Niki* The way we've set the 2 goldrush maps up makes it so you won't play more goldrush than we usually do, it's still gunna be every 8+ maps. The server changes which version is available to vote for is all, letting people enjoy both versions as they were in demand to be added/kept but without the server being saturated with goldrush all day.

GreatDanton Posted December 6, 2015 Report Share Posted December 6, 2015 I don't like original Goldrush >.> Add Stalingrad pls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niki Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) Why You always have problerm with goldrush? why not oasis or battery or other basic map? I dont like venice or beach but I dont whine about it just go spec on this one map and wait for the one I like play. Basic maps were always heart of ET and I never didnt see server empty on goldrush or oasis but its always empty on same lame new map.look at the statistics on Tb or SL which maps are most popular and than think twice to remove them. and Its not about that I like goldrush, I like also oasis, battery, supply and many more since people vote on it and its playable dont see reason to take it off. If its really a problem take the sw version but since and Charlie explains it can be not often than 8-10 maps I dont see problem... Ps: I see on Sl that normal gold rush is second popular map on server first is also normal Oasis.... Edited December 7, 2015 by Niki Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ketiv Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 I also dont understand, is it bad that server has full attention at popular maps?I always thougt that thats the point of making public srv and full server = succees server. Of course you can make a crazy server only with new and unpopular maps and be proud that you have 'so orginal' server, but it'll cause that a match 6vs6 will be a event of the month. In that case my type of campaign: school-purefrag-cathedral-reactor-dubrovnik, do it and I'm sure that you'll get rid of lag forever 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Towelie Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 I don´t think the fact that there are 2 versions active means goldrush is played 2x as often than other maps. At least not more than other popular maps like supply, adlernest, bremen, radar, etc Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Niki Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 goldrush isnt counted x2 Goldrush is one map and Goldrush_sw are counted as 2 seperate maps. If we would have only one GR I Think he can beet even oasis with popularity now he choose one version and than second, Sw now take votes take it away and You will see. and yes GR is more popular than other: normal goldrush was played 43 times and supply 30, frostbite 20 etc only Oasis beet GR 54 times played, dont know from how long those statistics are I think since server is up Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Grobar Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 I dont give u Goldrush ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
random Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 first is also normal Oasis.... Oasis comes on when 0 votes, also when server restart.That's what i've seen at least. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TommyBiondillo Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 With 0 votes it cycles the original maps, not only goldrush. Railgun, fueldump etc also get chosen that way. And if i'm correct, the server reset map atm is goldrush. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
brehh Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 If you ever have to chose, I'd highly suggest to stick with stopwatch version for goldrush (sw_goldrush_te). It gives so much more action, time less wasted on tank escorting. On top of that, allied spawn is too far from the obj on the default version while cp spwn is just perfect. x10000000000 Original goldrush is stoopid 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Macka Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 I prefer SW version for these same reasons Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jessica Posted December 7, 2015 Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 Why delete the 2nd GR ? We would disapoint Or Danton, Or Niki. And the server is not Out Of memory I gues. Beter : add more maps, and show a played not after 8, but after 20 mapsThen people must play new maps, Breh is right, Darn again I have to admit Breh is right People dont want to learn new maps, but once people know a map, they play it more often. I guess when you look now at played maps,there are no more then 10 maps played often, and then the statistics drop rapidly. No, I will not do what you expect, I wil not suggest Troop train Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
And So Posted December 7, 2015 Author Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 (edited) I see Niki and other supporters don´t get what i am trying to say to you.And it is completly understandable meyby i did express myself wrong way. Let me try this way meyby then you can understand.1) I DONT CARE WHAT MAP IS IT ! If we have 2 same versions of the map in 1 server: Fueldump or Oasis or Goldrush or what ever else its wrong.(<-@ my point of view)2)The fact that GR is popular and gets more votes then all the new maps together like you sayd isn´t the reason why you should put it on cycle with the original one.And all the story that it comes after 8 maps and then other version comes also after 8 maps dosen´t really count.3)So what´s your telling me is that the reason why GR was added was only coz there is no more maps to add ? Every single map in ET is new ? Well i honestly dunno nothing about how many or which kind of maps ET has put im damn sure there is maps that people would love also like GR.4)Also didn´t get answer to my first post question:Who´s idea was it ?Meyby now you understand what i am trying to tell you if not then im out and not typing any more answers !

Founders MiniMuppet Posted December 7, 2015 Founders Report Share Posted December 7, 2015 We tried lots of new maps over the years and people don't want to play them. It will also empty the server if you make it that maps are not available for longer. I like both versions of goldrush but i find it hard to defend sw as axis and i think people like the original because if your stuck in axis team you may actually win a map. We did changed the time on original at one point but i think it back to 30 mins now. Hopefully the poll will be closed in the next few day and the 3 new maps will be added.
