Idea's from Non-Clan members

[Captain Ashton]

I was playing on our Tf2 Arena and Goldrush servers earlier today and some of players from outside our clan were asking why we wern't doing certain things on our servers; things which could improve them. There were 2 things which the administators might want to consider for the servers. These are:

1. More than 11 players on an arena team
On our arena servers a few players complained about how we were allowing a maximum of 11 players on each team when we have 32 slots available. This meant that 8 players sat out at a time which is most of the players from the losing team. Apparenly some arena servers allow 16 vs 16 arena battles, which as well as having no one left out, also means a rather large game which I think would be pretty fun to play.

2. Limit on Snipers
This came up because I was on the defending team for goldrush and we had 4 snipers; only one of which seemed to be getting any kills. I don't have much of a problem with this but 3 or 4 of the players on our team thought that our servers really needed a limit on snipers. I think 3 is the recommended number, as it is not to large to have a risk of 'useless' players (I say usless because thats what people on the server thoguht some of these players were - an unfair accusation I might add, we're all noobs at some point) and isn't too small to have peolpe waiting for ages to play the class (which I often am when playing on servers with limits of 1 or 2.

I thought I should post this because players from outside our clan won't return to our servers unless they enjoy them so their Idea's need to be heard. I also want to know what the admin's think about these Ideas coming from outside the clan.

Btw its 00:40 here in the Uk so im going to bed and won't be able to reply to anything for about another 12 hours. So bye for now...

Let me tell you this before a council member does. There will not be limits on any class, people are allowed to play a game how they want to even if there are already 5 snipers on a team someone may feel like being a sniper. If they can't play sniper on this server they will probably leave to play sniper on another server. Some people are bad at server, but without playing the class they will never get better. That said the first idea is good.

I like the first idea 100%. I've played on arena servers, and it's nice having the 'penalty' of dying. But, I do hate having to wait sooooo long.

I agree that if everyone on the entire teams wants to be snipers, let it be. What if the people that were playing snipers were noobs and stunk at all classes (like I do - lol). What then? I agree with leaving the limits the way they are.

11 player teams are an arena max, I believe. I haven't seen teams larger than that. Ever. on any server.

As for class limits, forget it. At eGO, we let people play the way they want to. If someone who has zero sniping experience wants to go sniper, even if there is already 7 of them, that's cool. How else can you learn?

We like to let people play the way they want to, even if people would consider it bad play or "stupid". It's the edge way to be all inclusive, to new players and vets.

There is a plugin for making the teams 16 v 16, but its way to buggy for us to use it.

We wont be limiting any classes.

Thats good to know. I never did like getting the message 'this class is full please choose another class'. Now I know the reasons why we don't use class limits and 16 v 16 arena matches I'll be able to tell anyone who mentions it on our sevrer.

The Arena server is now badwater.
