An occasion arises where Anzio has a lot of players. What should we do?

We should make the pubbers time there memorable as a POSITIVE experience in hopes that they come back. This means that we should not have one team getting rolled and the other team stacked skill-wise.
If there is a situation where one team is getting rolled then please try to refrain from capping out if you are a member or a regular. Alternatively please join the losing team. If there are 4-5 consecutive cap outs the server is going to croak.


We can't necessarily make Anzio the number 2 server, but there are steps we can take when we have numbers that can help. If there are those who feel like they do not want to compromise their play style or statistics or points, remember that sometimes the needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few

Aren't we going to get rid of anzio in favour of a rotation?
 
I can't even play on Anzio, Kalt or Strand anymore because for some reason I have 250+ ping but at the same time I have a normal ping of 144 on Ava, Donner and event server.
 
Anzio is one of my favorite maps :D, you'll sometimes even find TF2 people invading it and filling it, thought L4D2 has become the new thing for some of them. Whenever I've tried to get it filled, I've noticed it's hard to do so as its probably the only map with 2 points that require 2 people or more to capture compared to Donner, Kalt, and Avalanche that only have 1 center point that requires 2 people to capture. Don't think it can be changed, nor would I even want it to as that is what brings character to this map.

One thing I guess we could try is take a similar approach to the Counterstrike Division, presently they have CS:GO which is not very popular, however they try to populate it by organizing a group and it get's filled. I've seen them send out steam announcements and it's done well for them, though I personally am not a fan of Friendly Fire being on as I will make a mistake :P

I'd like to see Anzio have better days, hopefully some of us can continue to get together and it give it some love.

We have a group the same as this, the DoD:S Rangers, although they're never told to go to Anzio.

Friendly Fire was turned off a while ago.

Oh I know about Anzio and FF, I was talking about CS:GO server being FF. I also know about the Rangers as I am an [SF]. Sadly I dont see as many messages to fill but do go when called in for duty and I am not passed out.:thumbup1:

Sorry for misunderstanding. :(
 
Interesting point, immortal. The rangers frequently go to fill anzio, but I too will look up and notice, 'hey! we're full!' But dont ever think to adjust play styles. At first, we are screwing around, then some more people come and the screwing around goes to putting some try hard pants on. but after that, I never thought of ways to keep it full. I will keep that in mind. Thanks!

[Serious] Suggestion

I say we upgrade it.

Matz super dee duper plan to get Anzio to #1.

  • Instant Respawn
  • Get points for kills and caps
  • These points can be spent on:
    • Temp Invisibility/Invulnerability(With mario star music)
    • A colourful, yet stylish collection hats and accessories
    • Ability to turn the server into gun game weapon mechanics until you die
    • God or poop?: Teleports you and a random enemy player to the church or sewers for a knife battle.
    • BOOM BOOB NUKE THAT KILLS EVERYONE
    • Turn everyone's voice chat to nyan cat nyans for 30 seconds.

I like the idea of instant respawn, similar to Kalt. Say 3-4 seconds?

!up Q
yeah pretty much we as members have to put more effort than we normally would to keep the server going once its already started.

is Realy Great Plan Matz ;)
 
Insta spawn will make it harder to cap out because you can hardly be alone outside of the spawn capping first flag... That may be good.
 
Got on this server this afternoon. Had a handful of players at the beginning. By the time I left it was darn near filled. Fun map with a good crowd. Been a long time since I played that map. Read this thread yesterday and it made me want to revisit it.

I don't know why we all felt that to make cap outs take longer, we should make people wait next to flags longer. When we could have just made people wait dead for less time. There is no downside to lowering re spawn times imo.
