Title: Save siege, remove the damn conquest maps already!
Post by: Daunt_Flockula on January 31, 2016, 10:21:18 pm
For the last couple of days, people have been rekindling interest in siege. I have uninstalled and haven't been playing for months, but I am watching closely. As far as I have learnt from Güner, conquest is killing the population as it has always been doing.

Ever since siege died, we the siege enthusiasts have been crying out loud: Remove conquest maps. Most of them are not optimized for low populations. I know there are people out there still desperately waiting for siege to return. But it won't happen like this. Somebody, please go ahead and do what is necessary. I think Dupre might be able to do it. Not sure if he has access to map rotations though. But somebody do it already. It seems that there is still hope for siege.

Come on, this mod is long-abandoned, since original devs have withdrawn themselves to make their new game, and other guys (like Fips or Teeth) are currently inactive, so now Dupre is basically the only one who takes care of this mod at the moment. He has steady job and his spare time is limited (not to mention that his work on this mod is unpaid and he is running on pure enthusiasm). So, don't expect from him too much. The strat reset for a dying game was a kind of miracle, but the fact that it happened, shows that if Dupre promises something, he will he will make it out someday. I believe :)

Donations for updates might encourage the devs who are active. Fuck the inactive shits , but tip the active ones. This is just a thought, money motivates.

Conquest or no conquest, NA doesn't seem to budge from NA1....

Why not remove battle and siege and only leave conquest in?

Uh, as far as I know, removing and adding maps to rotation is actually a bit of manual work, which could explain why it takes so much work to overhaul the entire cycle.
So yes, the rotation is being overdone since Dupre announced it, but it will take some time :)

In the meanwhile, feel free to message me (http://steamcommunity.com/id/GiovanniJan/), or other admins if you can, for a map-change. It may take a moment for one of us to come, but anything is better than slow agony that conquest maps bring :D

save crpg server populations, remove siege (aka the inferior game mode).

the NA community is way too small to split between battle and siege anyway : (

So, took a look again this morning at the 3 map files.... for now i'll turn the current rotation into 4-6 maps until I clean up the 3 map files, scenes ,scripts, and strings(when you add new maps, the map name, ID, etc needs to be in the exact same order in each file, if not, then you'll have the mess we have now.) It's not hard just tedious work.

I can change the rotation after work tonight PST but i'll need 4-6 map names that you guys/gals want to play.

Porthos is 100% accurate ^

Edit: Forgot to mention still working on getting the ladders back in. I'll get them in one day  :mrgreen:

Yeah, he is 100% accurate. We know you are practically the only one still working on the mod and you are dedicating personal time to it. I am and have always been grateful.

And you had nothing to do with this map rotation and conquest mess anyway. Thanks for dealing with it.

Porthos did in last thread and I think we should listen to him for all the work he did.

Very nice. Thank you! :mrgreen:

Recently there has been 40+ players in NA1 and 0 in siege. Even on the "Siege event weekend". We don't need to split, we can all just hop on siege once in a while.

Siege is gay.

Bring back grassy plains.

Win.
