PG Jailbreak map repetition

[Dackep]

So, as we all know, we constantly go through a few maps in jailbreak without even playing 70% of the maps that can be played. I really want to play some maps with unique additions, but i cant because nobody votes for such. Quake is one of them and i think its a really good map but i've only played it a few times.

Hence i suggest that map cooldowns get longer, or if a map is played when the cooldown is lifted, the cooldown is doubled or such.

Playing the same maps and the same games get boring. Nothing to laugh about, nothing to have fun with, you dont learn new secrets ext...

Playing undertale, avalanche, minecraft and peanut is literally all we do now, and its sad. I wish we play newer maps more.

dont forget vip in the mix, spy vs spy, obama and clouds. i agree with the cool down extending tbh this also happened on our jailbreak server only like half the maps got played. i think the are on a 5 map cool down i think since pg has so many jail maps on the server it should be 8-10 or even 15 map cool down. will give more maps a chance to be played. if those maps get played and no one likes them they should be removed, this might also be a reason why those maps dont get played. Just because you like this one map doesnt mean everyone likes it im sure you know. players choose the same maps because they know the map like the back of their hand(know where to stand as ct, know where all vents/secrets are, know how to rebel fast and get away with it) when a new map gets played and only a handful of people know the secrets it gets kind of one sided.

We had this exact same thread made constantly on the pG forums. The general response we got was "If people like those maps they'll play them, if certain maps don't get played then people don't want to play them.
Thing is though, certain maps don't get played because people don't know what they are. There are some pretty good maps on JB that don't get played because people don't even know what they're like. So when new players join the server, and all they play is clouds/peanut/vip/undertale/whatever other map it is these days, then they won't even bother with the other maps. I think increasing a little bit more to 7-8 maps would be nice, anything more then that would be a bit much because there are some genuinely bad maps on the server that I don't think we should be forced to play.
I'm also pretty sure that it was already increased from what it was before, if you think it's bad now then oh boy be glad you didn't play back when it was the same 4 maps 24/7 with no chance of another map getting picked

Oh i've been there. I couldn't agree more with your reply.

The repetition is insane. If someone knows all the secrets for a map, can easily rebel consistently why would they want a new map? As humans we don't like change either. If you pay close attention not only do we play the same maps but we end up playing the same games on those maps too. VIP is a perfect example of a map where if no one knew the secrets no one would play it. Its definitely not that people dont like the maps either, I've been playing for 3 years now and Mist, Renegade, and "Pleasework" were played just as much as the other maps yet I see them played like once a week if at all. Other maps have never even had a chance to begin with and they've been sitting in the map list for years.

sorry for repeating a bit of what others wrote ~

I could see where the repetition would get boring. It is a shame that people suggest maps to add then they never get played because they aren't apart of the top5 maps.
