[JB] Temporarily remove the overplayed maps to promote other maps

[kuantum]

Go on CSGO, check your Favorites (hopefully) tab, and you'll probably see eGO JB playing on either VIPInTheMix, MC maps, Obama, clouds, Avalanche and newer Thorgot maps.

I am not going to deny that any of those maps aren't great (except Obama, it's objectively horrible map but that's for another thread). Thorgot maps are really, really good. The big problem I have with it is that they are so overplayed. Rebelling as a T doesn't become a question of "how will I do it", it becomes a question of whether or not the CT's know about the secrets and their ability to stop rebellers.

I get that some of the other maps aren't good. But frankly, I would rather explore those map than trying to rebel on the same map over and over again. At least freedays on those maps make sense.

i don't think removing them is the answer. that would cause more harm than good. something that may work if its possible is to add higher cooldowns for overplayed maps (right now i believe its 7) so maybe bumping it up to 9 or 10 for maps like clouds or avalance or vip may work.

removing isn't the answer, just nominate new maps not played maps or we could make a default map rotation that chooses a map for themselves instead we have to choose what map t o play

If you want a map noticed and to be played more often than advertise it, mic spam " Vote *number*, its a fun map, try it out", quake used to be played once every 3 months, now its overplayed. Removing populat maps could lower the playerbase.

^this.

We talked about this during the night, and doing the higher cooldowns is an excellent solution for this. (I just really want to see shapeshifters and august played more)

Encouraging mic spamming is probably a good way to make everyone mad at you.

While we are not going to be removing the popular maps from the server, we would be able to extend the amount of time before a map can be played again or change the duration of a map. The current number of recently played maps to exclude from the vote is 8, which is something that can be increased or decreased.

Lower the map time and increase the map cooldown CoolStoryBob

Edit: Playing the same map for an hour (usually around 15 rounds) gets really repetitive, especially if the map lacks a lot of games. Hence why the map time should be decreased

The voting system on the server is meant to give the player base a choice in which map they want to play, and the map with the majority of the votes gets played next. There is a reason maps are "overplayed" and it's simply because the community likes them. Stripping away the overplayed maps and forcing the players to play the underplayed ones just doesn't seem like a good idea in the slightest.

Something I could get behind though is adding higher cooldowns for maps like lily suggested. This allows players to explore new maps without temporarily getting rid of all the overplayed ones.

I agree with Damon removing overplayed maps because they are chosen over other maps by the majority of the players is never a good idea, that could really impact our game play and player base on some levels. However I also agree that we should increase the time after selecting a map before it can be in the map vote again.

Agreed, add a higher cooldown between maps.

These maps are overplayed because they are good. People will not choose a map that they don’t assume is good even if it’s popular. I say leave it as it is.

well said

I gotta disagree here man. As others said, underplayed maps are just that- underplayed. That's not really a bad thing, it just means people like other maps better than others. I don't see a problem with people playing the maps they like.

If we were to do as you suggest, all that would happen is that specific maps from the group of maps that are left will be overplayed and the rest not played because they would be the ones we like. It would be the same thing and nothing would really change. It would just be with different maps.

I know that sometimes the server gets a little unbearable playing the same maps over and over and over... There's a point where we don't want to remove maps because if we do there are going to be a lot of people upset because maybe that's their favorite map and they enjoy to play it. Another thing that could be proposed is just making it so that you have to play a different map here and there in order to play an "overplayed" map again.

In reality I enjoy all the maps and don't mind playing them over and over again, I know there are a bunch of people who would like to play new maps or play these maps on the server(s) that just don't come up that often. We don't really want to try and force players to play all these maps, it's up to mainly the server on what they want to play.

We won't be removing any maps as it's hard enough to find quality jailbreak maps~
