FEEDBACK: Random Map Cycle and 3 Point Score Limit

[Meow]

We now have a script that randomizes the map cycle every night when the servers restart. (THANKS ESPU)

At the same time to get the rotation going we switched EU1 and NA1 to a three point score limit per map.

Please give feedback on those changes in here.

[_Tak_]

3 is a bit too small, its good but it will be extremely hard to keep multi..

change back to 5 point score limit plz , you can get to x4 in first map in less than 10 minutes but once map changed you lose everythin at first round. Everyone hates first round. Random map cycle is awesome but the score limit is just lame...

Oh for the love of god YES RANDOMIZE MAPS.

It seems like on my days off i always play the same few maps after the server reset and it sucked.  Im not so sure about the 3 round limit... that will need some adjusting to.

Well although I see how it will be harder to keep your multi, on the other hand it will be way less frustrating for the people who get completely stomped for now 3 instead of 4 rounds

+1 for randomizing the map cycle
LARGE -1 FOR ONLY 3 SCORES PER MAP, IT SHOULD REAMAIN ON 4

[Jacko]

I'm curious, why would you not want to have 3 limit rounds? It it only because of the potential loss of multi? Quite possible it will be much easier to regain it, instead of getting stomped on maps on end (as several people already pointed out).

I'm not too excited about changes which nerf xp gain.

The random map cycle is great though.

How about enabling autobalance on first round, like community server?

[beniliusbob]

I am pro 3 rounds because I'm not a very good player anyway and I like to fight in exotic and variegated locales.

Uh oh - mazigh c has just come up in rotation in twice in NA1 in the frame of ~2.5 hours.  Dont think server rebooted, may be a prob with script?

Nevermind, server probably rebooted during that timeframe

I'm against the 3 point score limit because there will be more first rounds without proper banner balance. --> fewer opportunities to play with your friends.

Right, worst case scenario split from your clan 33% of the rounds.  Autobalance on first round would fix!

+  remove maps which get reported down, look at the qmd votes.

I like 3 rounds since it takes forever for the map to change sometimes, and battling 5-7 times is just annoying especially if you're constantly team switched.

I agree that 3 rounds is too short because that means that 66%-80% of rounds are autobalanced as opposed to 75%- 86%.  Less rounds to have your clanmates and more rounds that have a chance to be a complete roll.

Not the end of the world, but I would prefer the map rotation become random without the additional round reduction change.
