Dust2 eGO/Pubber concerns

[Merc.]

Hey Guys, so I was going to put some suggestions in the drop box to go straight to leadership, but I decided to see what you all think about them prior. I wanted to make this into a poll labeled "What is the biggest concern in Dust2," but alas I am a noob that doesn't know how to make polls. When replying Please stay on point to the topic, thanks! =)

So here they are:

1. Reduce buy time to 10-15 seconds.

2. Auto Slay for not completing objective: Cts for not defusing, Ts for not planting before time runs out or allowing bomb to be defused.

Now, I know the community stands for having fun first and not being so serious about gaming, so if we can't implement these to be 24/7 settings, how bout just on "Pro Fridays" or something? I've seen that work on other clan servers.

The final suggestion I have is in regards to a rotation server. A lot of us have made good friends on here and we want to be able to play with a group of online gamers on different maps. Our current Dust2 server is 19th on gametracker, and it does get very crowded. So how about a rotation server that is 32 man and has Dust2 being the map 20% of the time?

I would suggest Aztec, Office, Port, Militia, Nuke, Inferno, Piranesi and Train.

Thoughts And Suggestions appreciated, I'd like this to be constructive =)

PS. If anyone could make a poll labeled "What would you change in Dust2" with these options that would be great.
A: Buy Time reduced to 15 seconds
B: Auto Slay for not completing objectives
C: Both
D: Other

Well, 1. they probably wouldn't put office as a rotation since we already have a office server...
2. People might not like the map on the rotation server and they will leave...

I would LOVE a rotation server. Did I say I would LOVE it? I would LOVE it. as long as it also included de_cpl_mill, thats my favorite map. i wouldn't have Dust 2 as the main map for the rotation, I mean.. thats what the dust 2 server is for. I would make it a "vote for the next map" rotation myself.

I think reducing buy time to like 20-22 seconds would be useful (im not sure how long it is now) Nade spamming would be reduced greatly. I would also be in favor for slaying people who dont go for the objective and just camp. (With a warning of course)

 

[Merc.]

I think that dust2 should be the main map for the rotation server EXACTLY because it is the most popular map in counterstrike source and EXACTLY because our dust2 server gets packed with auto joins during peak hours.

On that second point Machine, I think 20 seconds would be "ok", since it takes around 15 seconds for closest T spawn to get to short (yes, I tested it lol)

The only way a rotation server will work is if you have popular maps on them, also 20 minute time limit each map. Nobody wants to play the same map for 40+ minutes. Popular servers include maps such as dust2, train, season, mill, inferno and several others. Limit weapons such as AWPs to 1 per team, 32 is a lot of people, I was thinking something like 20.

 

[MGR]

I play on a 32 man rotation server all the time (with a 20 minute limit) and it works quite well and is nearly always full. I think 20's a little too few. Especially considering the expectations of our servers.

And in reply to Merc, I see where you're getting at w/ dust 2. When its full the only way its fun is if you can get 60%+ of the T team to rush (which is a hell of a task in itself). If not then its frustrating as T and boring as a CT. A 32 man game would probably be a positive for dust 2 and a drawing point for the server.

rotation servers are hit and miss and rarely keep a steady pop like a dedicated map does. That being said if/when it was attempted i would recommend 3-4 maps and not too many more, like nuke, pira, train, aztec...but i doubt it would occur.

I hate to derail one of your suggestions but:

Rotation servers don't work for eGO CS:S, we have had them countless times before and we probably wouldn't try it again.

AWPs are also something we have tried, and didn't work.


You are free to discuss it though

I would be in rotation server everyday. It would give the 10 man people more practice while people don't scrim.

 

[MGR]

But I really want an eGO rotation oh wells. Ill put up w/ the laggy one I play on now. I think if you're going to allow AWPs, you'd need to make it normal money settings. 16k money and AWPs don't co-exist.

 

[x-Rawr its kiki-x]

i know its not my place to make any differences but! i to would like a rotation server... shorter buy time is okay i guess not to concerned with that. lol wont make a difference if you slay after every round cuz.. we get 16k to start with but yeah hope i made some point across

We wont add any kind of auto-slay functionality. Too much room for abuse. Back in the day eGO ranked admins had the slay ability to handle situations like these and instead many used it to slay players for fun. The setup now works and there is no need to change it.

#19 server in the world, We have a good setup.

Legend, What do you think about the Dust2 recommendations?

Just for sake of discussing it, how is auto slay functionality able to be abused?

I hate awps so please no awps

We did it like that before. It was popular for a few days and was empty for two weeks after.

 

[x-Rawr its kiki-x]

errr one awp per team?!

 

[sil3nced]

I would def play on the rotational server, i say its worth a try for a month or 2 to see how it works out but i would definitely play on it.

 

[ballpythonbreeder]

I would say C dont like people not doing the objective and camping to save there score. Also 10 sec is plenty for buy time. It would be awsome to see that change happen. ;-)

Wasn't that our competitive server though?
