Old vs New Jail gameplay

[Cryptex]

How about we go back to the very old ways when we had TWO 40 slot jail servers?!?!?!? lol jk...

This idea is about as good as eating a cactus.

EPIC WIN


In all seriousness though I like the 20-24 better always did

Maps would need to made a lot smaller with half the total number in a server. I think it's a bad idea jail is always evolving and we should look to the future not what was.

Agreed, maps will be made much smaller and in effect MOST jail maps would have to be remade to make it fair on Ts and CTs. Overall the 40 slot is fine. Also, won't 2 24 slots be more of a strain on the server? I mean. Dust2 already lags to death when servers are full and all. I don't think I'd like that with jail.

Jail and dust2 are on opposite boxes.

You must have not played Jail 6 months ago then. The lag was actually fixed not long ago, and it was about the same as Dust 2.

 

[eurocracy]

Even so. The jail wouldn't feel as popular and full as it does now with 40 slots. Also people look for 2 things on jail server searches.
Positions And Ping.
Can't do much about ping.
The more positions filled the higher you can get and thus more players. At 24 it's gonna be low down.
Ontop of that if you want to go to one server because of its certain type and it's full it will really, really suck for you.
I may not have played 6 months ago. But I like the setup currently.

Well, if you change it to 2 servers = Rank is no longer a factor, and more fun based.

1 Server = Higher rank, And ten min rounds. (3 min LR)

I voted for two servers , Seems like way more to me.

Most jail maps are actually already smaller, thats why a ton of the maps on our server are made by people in eGO.

Although I don't' know what the old setup was like, I'm sticking to the current 1-40 player server. It's a lot easier to rebel against the "Warden" and is so called "Minions" with 26 terrorists. Plus, you won't have as many "Baiting and Gun Planting" Counter-terrorists. After all, these are actually REAL factors in prisons today.
The jail server also seems like it actually NEEDS more player slots. Ever play on a 80-slot jail server? If not, then SHAME ON YOU BECAUSE IT IS SO MUCH FUN!!!!!!!!

If you guys were to make it 2-40 player servers, then I would totally vote vote for that.

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.

 

[res1l1ent]

server;s usually start to lag around 34 people so i'd say 2 30 player servers but yeah server crashes too much with 40

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

Thats exactly it. I wish I could just make simple maps with the normal climb/race(on some), it would be a ton easier. A lot of people want other things to do now and you have to create other games to do so. We dont have as creative wardens as we used to.

But i do love me some Prison Break. I love rebelling on that map lol

 

[GreatWhiteDeath87]

I enjoy the current set up personally. I think that there should be a warden but also have mini games intersperced throughout. I don't see why the warden can't make it fun for everyone.

Even if that is the case, which I don't think it is (some of the simplest maps are the best IMO) then not everything should be automated like it is.

 

[Aaron]

keep the 40 server. But PLEASE delete the space station map. It crashes on it every single time!

 

[Twinki]

Never played in the old days but im pretty sure that it was interesting. Maybe I really dont know

 

[tomi87]

Two 20-24 slot servers is awsome

 

[MontyPilon]

We should try make 1 of the servers euro friendly.
