BRING THEM BACK QQ

btw. it took me like 1 hour to check all the maps of c-rpg :O there are sooooooooo many, admins or whoever should just bring even more maps in the rotation so it's not allways the same shit, playing allways the same maps for ages is fuuuuuuuuuucking boooooring. Even though not to know what kind of map (cav ranged inf) it is is even more fun than to know "fuck, again a ranged/whatever map". And there will be allways some people leaving when one map comes. Probably when one map sort of kills the whole server it should't be in the rotation but I remember thousands of brave warriors playing on the maps above and they were really fun to play!

"The canals of our city" - Wait, why was this even removed?

(click to show/hide)

"Crop Rotation" - See above comment.

(click to show/hide)

"Street Revolt" - See above. This shit is a classic.

(click to show/hide)

"Desert Ruins" - This is another good old one; arguably very archer friendly, but far better than that church map we have now, and both have a slightly circular shape.

(click to show/hide)

No map name :/ - Meh. I could live with this in rotation or out of it. Would really like if it came up really rarely, maybe just a few times a week, but too much and it gets stale.

(click to show/hide)

"Prison Riot" - This map was never all that great. Sure, besting people on the balance beam above the pit of death was always fun, but other than that this map offers nothing really.

I like the last one somehow, dunno why but some maps are just good without any reason^^ I think all the experienced players will agree with me that some maps just got a feeling which ppl like, and I like the last one. Well the 4th one isn't thaaaat needed but I still like it too^^ It forces those tard bannerstacks nowadays to do something but running in circles and feeling cool cuz some of them are first!

Map 1 is also a massive circle map but for some reason I kinda like it, a bit nostalgic maybe.

Map 2 is pretty good and should be brought back.

Map 3 is absolute shit imo, forces you to fight in a line whilst range hides behind cover and shoots, not a big fan.

Map 4 is pretty good aswell, as Jona said its good for ranged but that never really bothered me too much since it provides a good amount of cover/path options and is quite small.

Map 5-6... pls no

Ah, these are far more reasonable suggestions than the ones the OP did.

"The canals of our city"

(click to show/hide)
Not sure where you got the name from, but this one should be called "Battle: Trouble in the Neighbourhood". I removed this one because it is extremely unfocused and causes people to circle endlessly. Which was okay when the map was covered by 80-100 players but now its just running and running without ever fighting someone

"Crop Rotation"

(click to show/hide)
Has been removed because teams have to fight for the top plateau to prevent being dominated by ranged from up there, but there is no cover whatsoever so the top plateau is a cringy place to fight. Basically drew huge groans from non ranged and lead to some groans and quits from melee. Looks pretty though. During my last clean-up of the rotation I basically removed any iffy maps, because the power of maps on reducing the server population is real and I wanted to prevent it as much as possible. This one was by no means terrible.

"Street Revolt"

(click to show/hide)
I removed this a long time a go because it was rather small. Also ranged could do easy headshots from all angles on the melee fights circling between the barricades, like a sort of Medieval tower defense. Also the map was unplayable for cav. With the current population these problems are much less problematic so I see no reason to not re-add it.

"Desert Ruins"

(click to show/hide)
Has been removed when the main complaint I heard was that there were too many enclosed urban maps and people wanted old village maps and more open maps back. This one played fine, though there were some very stronk ranged spots, but this could be re-added

No map name :/

(click to show/hide)
This one is called Chasm. This one was a very clear population killer when it was in the rotation. There is no cover and no reasonable alternate routes. Ranged gets straight shots on everyone and when people get shot while jumping the gap, they drop out of the air instantly. You might think this is hilarious, but by the time I removed it the fun had clearly worn off for most people. I would absolutely recommend not re-adding, this one will demolish the player count, at least on EU.

"Prison Riot"

(click to show/hide)
Very unfocused with people spreading out over all the corridors, hard to play for cav. With 80 maps in the rotation I'd rather play the good ones more often than have mediocre maps pop up like this one.

Once again I don't think myself responsible for the map rotation anymore, so take this as advice from someone who has paid attention to how the server responds to certain maps for a long time. Not sure who is in charge of maps now, but bringing back old maps is like 5 seconds work and even I could be arsed to do that for a new patch if I got access to the files.

Quote from: Jona on June 03, 2015, 10:50:08 pm
Yeah, the gimmicky maps are best left out of the rotation, but accessible to admins in case there is a collective want for a "different" map when one is online. However, we could definitely use some different maps in rotation, for instance older maps like the city riot (the map with the overturned carts and the sewers) might be able to make a comeback now that the server population as a whole has dwindled. It's arguably a non-cav map, but I don't see why we can't have a couple maps in a large rotation not cater to a single class type.
I think the last time anybody did any cleaning up of the maps in the game files is somewhere in early 2011 or something, because I recall some very old maps that I have not been able to find in there. This means that everything that has ever been in the rotation from 2011 on is still available in the files, and an admin could change the map to any of them. Though I believe map names were fucked up again last I checked, which would make it difficult.

Blackbird is an EU player and he is definitely asking for these maps to be re-added to EU servers.

It feels like there are thousands of players having the wantage of playing EU 2, so why the fuck is it that difficult to populate it? I allready tried to get some players 100 times but it ends allways in some good people leaving, some more or less good following them and in the end there are only my old friends. And btw. I think I should take scourge as a compliment, should I? xD

Funny thing about that is that people always complained about DRZ or Grey stack on EU2. Now the stacks are gone and EU2 is empty =D

But it is just the natural way to go, NA2 died ages ago as well, now NA1 is having a hard time to populate properly. Same will happen to EU.

EU2 already, now it is just a matter of time until EU1 will die as well.

For all the non-believers, look no further than this thread for proof that while strat battles are won/lost in NA3/EU3, strat wars are won and lost on the forums.
