Jaymod Ideas and suggestions

[led]

I like the idea, but I asked this question from myself...
How many guests play in ND because of the stock maps? Not everyone wants new maps to play.. We could risk losing the guests that only play stock maps
Nevertheless, even if we add new maps, we can change the server's name, right? Right? Hopefully, because if new maps are added, the No Download title doesn't fit anymore
Except if we have fun days with extra maps.. then the name can stay the same

As a player I want extra maps, but as a member I don't want extra maps

The reason is simple: more maps = more rules (sk areas, wj..) = more confusion = :/


I think we should have someone ask the guests via vote if they would want extra maps.. maybe a vote everyday to see if they agree with the idea

Well, I think we got our answer then...
ND will stay the same

Map cycle can't be changed for obv reasons but we could do a "blue monday" event where we could add 1 o 2 new maps too?
As you can see here monday is the least active day of ND so it wouldn't bother too many players if they are informed.

I'm a bit confused. If you guys want to play on other maps why dont you play on Beginners server? Thats what you guys want right? same TWC friends but other maps. I have played there myself becaue I also like a small team and a few good custommaps. But thing is. Noone plays there!
So why should we change ND in to a server we already have and is unattractive to players. I dont know why people dont play there but I gues you have a reason not to play there.

I have been in clans since 2005. I have seen lots of these discussions and I have been on the other site voting for change and new maps. Those clans died or had a BIG problem adjusting to a new player base.
It sounds simple.New maps is more fun. But sadly it aint that simple.
So lets make the beginners server cool to play at with lots of players, and stop creating ideas for a server that runs great anno 2014!

Exactly like Djuki said, ND is standard maps dedicated, BG server is / was dedicated for unstandard maps. If you guys are bored of standard maps - just switch to BG please, that server just needs players who are eager to fight on "unstandard" battlefield.
No need to revolutionarize ND, I was also witness, where clans which wanted to be "more original" sunk ND completely thanks to more and more weird ideas, mostly connected with unstandard maps...

I really do understand the maps discussion hence I pondered a bit the last few days while travelling.

Most logical and realistical thing I came up with that would please possibly everyone yet is sort of experimental; open a new server with the current ND settings with additional maps; members of ND and newly recruited members of this new server would receive the same levels in both servers, yet the servers would have different supremes. See what happens. Draw a conclusion.

Possible conclusions:
1: Keep both servers open
2: Close either old ND or the new ND (new ND being the ''ND'' server with additional maps)

E: Do note; the server.cfg's and stuff like that would be identical, only difference being the amount of maps

Sounds like a great idea!!

If you would make new server why don't try few other changes? Maybe it would work?

Like disabling double jump, turning on friendly fire, making game more realistic.
For maps I suggest regular 6 maps + Venice (best map ever <3) + Supply Depot.

IMO molotovs should be removed too, poison gas also. Mines should be reduced to 12. I would really love to play on an old-style server without all that new sh.t :P

[djuki]

I like the idea!

And I think that BG is the right server to transform into the "experiment server"

Btw I also the settings Atreyu proposed. Only thing is. Dont use maps that need 15 vs 15 players like Venice. Or you'll end up playing hide and seek instead of playing an objective game. There are soooo many cool maps that are suited fir small teams.

But thing is. When we are experimenting we need to use as close as possible settings as benchmark server.
