Old vs New Jail gameplay

[Mayhem Death]

I think it is the opposite. People are playing just trivia/couch game, so mappers are having to add mini-games as incentives for the CTs to try something more fun and refreshing than your generic round of jail. Go play on one of the older maps like prison_break and you hear "There's nothing to do on this map." If anything, mappers are trying to keep the fun in jail alive, because wardens aren't

Halleluia! Someone finally said something that came to my interest! Alright. Almost all of the old maps have only climb, deag toss, disco, and soccer (sometimes a heal). Wardens run out of things to do on those maps. So now, mappers have to put in things such as: simon says, cafeteria, bhop, pool, etc. So, why are these boring rounds still happening? It is because wardens feel it is too hard to keep us ferocious T's under control. That is also why we should make the 20-24 slot servers. Make attacks less brutal.

We should try make 1 of the servers euro friendly.

Euro friendly? What do you mean by this? I think you mean to make maps and players go on it? Not sure though.

Title of thread misleading! Vanilla jail ftw

To be honest, its not the server size that is ruining jail, its the new maps. Now, I have a lot of respect for mappers, especially since I'm terrible at it, but these new maps are killing jail. All this automation makes the CTs bored, so therefore more trivia, so they can kill the Ts themselves. The problem is that the CTs need to do something too, otherwise it fails horribly. Old school maps FTW.

YES!
This is exactly right, you are now my best friend.
And for people saying wardens run out of things to do, be more creative! Find stuff to do, and do it, think of stuff. Don't just rely on what the map gives you, thats extremely boring because you do the same thing every round. Do stuff that other's don't do, be more creative. When there were the two servers back a while ago, everyone was creative and it was different stuff every round. Now, most of the people who are saying the maps need more stuff to do, they didn't play when it was 2 24 slot servers.

We aren't here to debate whats wrong or right with jail. We aren't here to debate about the maps. We aren't here to flame and argue.

We are here to get your opinions on what you would rather see - two servers, or keep it the same we have now.

With that said can we please keep on topic, that being what relates to the first post.

 

[redstarfish]

I like the current setup, wardens should always be creative/laid back.

The point I want to make is that in my opinion, the reason that jail can be dull and vapid at times is not because of the maps, not because of the server size, but because of the players themselves. I guess people think that cutting the jail server into two populations will take jail back to its golden days, but i don't think it will. I've played in this jail server when there were only twenty or so people in it, and wardens did the same things they would if the server was full.

Unless there are rules changes accompanied with the new servers, we will probably end up with the same jail today, only with less people in it. Rounds will definitely be shorter, but we are risking both the server's population and popularity in making this move.

IMO its not the size of the servers, i agree with pure, its the wardens, there's only so much they can do now with all the rules and lack of games in the maps themselves. Changing server size wont do a thing

lol
So essentially a bunch of guys sitting around on the internet giving arbitrary instructions to each other in a video game and following them......... I can't imagine a better summer activity than this.

YES i love the way you put your words Eyeless

 

[Death_Blade]

agreed.

 

[Mand'alor]

the old set up... unless you change grand marble to not be the default map then idc

 

[BokkChoi]

There wasn't a box for 1-20 slot server with vanilla rules. That's a shame.

i belive 2 20 - 24 servers would be easier to manage than the current setup Nouff said

 

[seek.and.destroy]

current setup is cool, maybe some older maps will do the trick!

 

[king killer]

I was here for the old one and i like it 10000x better less arguing less banning and kicking more fun. also it has eGO forest in it

 

[Beanie]

ego_forest <3 .

 

[LJ Coolio]

I wasn't around during forest's days but from the way you guys all talk about it i wish i had been! Seems like if we do go to two servers maybe have one be all vintage maps?

 

[Cryptex]

Forest isn't coming back, "vanilla" rules aren't coming back, none of the super old jail stuff will be coming back. We are simply discussing splitting the server into two smaller ones with different maps on each of them, and whether it is a good idea or not. This isn't that hard to contemplate.
