Rotation server now LIVE!

[Culex]

Total Control Hydro is one of my personal favorites. Thank you so much for adding it; I need to play it more.

On another note: Looks like this server has sudden death too!

I was playing the server some earlier, and I am really loving the changes to the rotation. It used to be I'd play maybe half the maps on it, then leave for 3 hours once the maps came up that we already have servers for. Now I'm getting to play on all these maps that I haven't been on in ages. I was even surprised that I was enjoying playing on Badlands, a map I used to hate. (I'm thinking Badlands Arena helped me become familiar enough with that map to like it.) Big thumbs up from me on the changes!

Glad you like it, I talked with Garden tonight and suggested removing the maps that we had servers for already, and he liked the idea. Then it was just coming up with a decent rotation with what was left. Hopefully this will work a little better than what we had, and be prepared for a map to be trimmed if we find it not working well in the rotation.

Fastlane was removed too. Was that map not doing well?

My latest suggestion for the rotation server. While I love the maps on the rotation, many of them are extremely prone to stalemate. Perhaps the worst of these being Hydro, with a 10 minute round length. This is just way to short for reasonably evenly matched teams to do much of anything. Badlands, cp_well, and Granary occasionally have this problem too, but the round length really ruins the super awesome map that Hydro is, imho.

Not sure if Garden can change individual maps round timers to be different for each map, but what would you suggest and I will pass it on to him. I have been working with Garden as of late to try and make the rotation server work and am willing to talk to him if its reasonable.

So the question is, (if I missed it..) IS THE SERVER STAYING?

For now...YES!

Gotta try and keep it busy though, and we will be tweaking it as we go, so bear with us. We want to make it successful, but we need everyones help in doing that.

That's a pretty good rotation there. But I gotta agree with the idea of having a separate server for each game mode. I don't care too much for payload, and I can say I'm more likely to leave the server if it switches to gravel pit to goldrush.

I like the rotation server! ^_^

Great rotation server, only problem I've experienced is everyone quits when the server goes to hydro sad because hydro isn't that bad it's just different.

Yeah, sometimes that happens. I agree with you that Hydro isn't nearly as bad as people seem to think it is. That said, we've had 32 players in the server playing Hydro.

I guess people just have to be in the mood for it.

Alright guys. Here it is.

lets test it for two weeks and if it doesn't work we will switch somethings around.

This server is for experimenting. We want to see how well it does. If you don't like the rotation we have placed, we will change it later on, for now lets see how well it works for two weeks. If it doesn't work we can change it. This is our fun server guys. lets have some fun in it xD
