[poll] Warpath or Gravelpit?

[s3rv0]

I see that we've scrapped a few servers to make them Goldrush servers for the moment. Great idea, Goldrush is going to be crazy popular for a while, everyone wants to try something new. It lets the community tap into additional traffic; new players who bought TF2 with this patch or old users coming back to try out the new gamestyle can be introduced to the eGO community.

The warpath server, now less than half full, seems to be floundering. The 2Fort and Dustbowl servers are remaining full, however, in spite of Goldrush. Would a Gravelpit server be in order again, instead of Warpath? I'm by no means an expert on this matter, but I do know we want the most populated servers we can, at all times. It's possible that Gravelpit would be a better choice than Warpath. I'm not some huge Gravelpit lover, or Warpath hater, but I was just looking for some feedback on the idea.

This is temporary. We will probably only be permanently having 1-2 goldrush servers (most likely replacing for sure sunsettown and possibly convoy), but I believe gravelpit will be going back up soon. Only reason we have three is that the map just came out and it attracts people to our servers

Warpath rules.

Gravelpit's good for a round now and then, but Warpath is definitely the biggest draw for the servers... I don't know why you mentioned it being half full though, as I've always noticed it packed to the brim from noon to 3am, with plenty of ppl still trying to get in.

All arguments and sentiments aside though, I think it comes down to the fact that Warpath seems to have gathered it's own community of regulars -- both from eGO and not. Gravelpit, however, seems to be always filled with spammers, noobs, and trolls; and it really seems like no admin is willing to set foot in there unless needed.

On a personal note though, if you lose warpath then you lose me (and probably dozens of others). It's the funnest round of tf2 that can be had, and with no badlands or warpath I wouldn't really feel like sticking around on the eGO servers anymore. The other maps (ie dustbowl and 2fort) are great, but they're not worth some of the constant drama I've experienced whenever playing there...

As of my response/vote the warpath is full. I believe that it was a forced emptying out earlier that caused the lower numbers in both 2fort and warpath.

Warpath is a greater asset to our community than Gravelpit. While Gravelpit is well-designed, Warpath brings in a ton of people and is filled with action. On a side note, Gravelpit also brings in punks. While I would be sad to see Gravelpit go (I still have fun games on it), I would accept its parting for Goldrush. I would also look favorably upon sacrificing it for the existence of sunsettown. My experiences on that map are comparable to the great games I play on warpath. I'm sure that some of you would beg to differ!

Gravelpit, I just don't play it all that much. Not sure why, but I don't.

The contest isn't between Warpath and Gravelpit, it's between Convoy and Gravelpit.

Gravelpit > everything else

end of story

We're not losing Warpath anytime soon, I can tell you that.

Talking about Powergloves only encourages him.

I love Warpath and it loves me back...so there!

 

[Cboardwarrior]

I don't really care for Warpath. I might be playing it wrong or something of the sort, but the map layout doesn't appeal to me... I do think it'd bring in more people than Gravelpit though. Look at our Warpath server now, it's always full!

 

[>:| Face]

I only play Warpath for the community. I really hate the actual map.

Gravel Pit is my favorite map, and Convoy is my second favorite. I'd hate to see either go. I haven't played enough Goldrush to know how it ranks.

[/quote1209616456]Thats my sentiments as well. Its just not a fun experience. I dont know if the map just draws idiots, or if idiots make the map bad, but it just doesnt work.

Well, if it's between Gravelpit or Convoy then... I'd keep Gravelpit. Convoy is an interesting map, but it's way too laggy and always seems to end up as a sniping match.

I love Gravelpit and am sad to see it not present on the servers. Convoy gets old for me and most Warpath games I've played end up in a deadlock between the 2nd/3rd or 3rd/4th points for very long periods of time.

Convoy is a bit laggy, likely because it uses HDR lighting and is the only TF2 map I know of that does so. Could try turning HDR off to improve performance in it.
