Counter-Strike Delivered JB map cooldown

[CarpGH]

I've noticed JB plays through the same maps multiple times over in the same night over and over again. I think the (recently played) cooldown should be upped to be longer. That's all. every session i play it's arcade, quake, VIP, minecraft, undertale, clouds, america rinse and repeat when there are a ton of other maps that are super fun in the map list but never even get the chance to get played because by the time you get through the usual maps they're off cooldown and picked again. Maps like clouds have 200+ days of playtime on the server when other objectively "fun" maps, like pyrenees or vice have (just asked the server for some random fun maps we don't play much) less than 15 days of playtime combined.

It's a hard thing to balance.

People typically join the server when they see a familiar map being played. Increasing the map nomination timer will lower our average server ranking on an already dying game-mode.

I also deeply share your sentiment towards unappreciated maps. Many of the maps on our nomination list are heavily underrated and rarely see play time. Whenever I'm on the server I make sure to always nominate an underplayed map and try to convince other players to vote for it.

I don't think increasing the map nomination timer is the best thing to do. What if we made it so that after every X amount of maps played, players are unable to nominate over-played maps for one map rotation?

EDIT: After speaking with the CS-JB specialist team they made valid points as to why the suggestion I made above won't be ideal nor effective. A big issue is that the server has been crashing frequently which resets the "recently played" feature.

I personally think reducing the amount of nominations that can be placed would encourage more of the lesser played maps to be played.

Whenever someone nominates a map, rather than adding it to the list of map choices, it should add to an internal list of nominations. Then, the top three maps that had the most nominations would be placed on the map choices, with two additional maps being added at random.

For example, if 4 people nominated clouds, 2 nominated arcade, and 1 nominated obama, the map vote could look something like:

1. jb_clouds
2. jb_arcade_b6
3. jb_obama
4. jb_pleasework_v420
5. jb_cavern_ego

The most recent Jailbreak update included a change to where "Recently Played" map persists through server crashes. This change will hopefully reduce the same few maps from being constantly played.

Bug Fixes

• "Recently played maps" will now persist through server restarts

Thanks for the suggestion!
