Warpath woes . . .

I like the warpath during peak hours, and something else (no to convoy 
) during off hours.
I used to play warpath all the time, but like anything you do alot, it gets tiresome. Sadly, I do not join that server first anymore, badwater, turbine, rotation map has been getting my attention lately.

That's another question we'll look into. It would make sense that if the server is running xmap (call it convoy, bleh) and no one is there . . it switches to Warpath and then people start coming in. There are people around here with talent on loan from God himself. I doubt anything is not possibleThanks Groo . . and no, you didn't err this time.

If it's going to switch if no one is around, I'd suggest the server having RTV on it as well. You might have the server be empty for some inexplicable reason, have the map change, and then have a bunch of people show up looking for it to be what they normally expect at that time.
If the server is just going to be a fixed rotation, then RTV isn't necessary, of course.
As far as another map goes to put on this server, might I make the suggestion of Toy Fort? That was another map that was really popular over the Summer, but saw a similar drop off once school was back in session. It was also one that seemed to have more of a draw later in the night than some of our other servers (even after school started, if I'm recalling correctly).

Ok I like the idea of having Warpath on at the busy time of the night, but what other maps/map would we use to cover the morning hours? It would have to be a popular map, or maybe some kind of rotation server late at night and then in the morning it could just be on warpath.
I also like the idea of the mappers getting together and trying to make us something like warpath only better, how about a "tug of war" warpath style map with multiple ways to push the cart? I have seen this idea proposed before and you could have it set up for the read AND blue teams to push the cart, you would have to escort it all the way to the other side of the map. Now that would be interesting!
Lets get some map suggestions going for the rotation, and we need to decide on what the best hours would be for warpath.

From what I remember during the summer, afternoons through late night was the high time for Warpath. I don't know what it is now.
Ever since the intoduction of the pl mode I immdiately thought about a pl_warpath just as Drunken described it. I think Mr.Algebra was trying to get the ball rolling on that.

I think everyone can help us gather that information by telling us when they can be on to play when Warpath is up. If you want it to stay around, help us fill it. As for what map to use when WP isn't running, until we get a different one, I say do another instant respawn 2fort . . . I always see it full or near full.
Just my suggestion.

Hold on a sec, you guys are suggesting Warpath be switched to another map during the 'off-peak?' What about the Euro/Aussie players who play when it's late night/early-morning for you guys in the US?
Look at the graph 'cookies' posted, Warpath is dead for a few hours, because most of you people are asleep. Switching to another map during this time isnt going to help one bit if you're all in bed. For the people who live outside the US, who enjoy playing on Warpath at this time, there's no reason to switch to a different map completely if we're the ones who are actually trying to help fill Warpath and get it moving.

Well, since Drunken brought it up, I'll throw my two cents in. Since I haven't made any maps since Delta Force:Blackhawk Down, it's probably not worth much though.
If you consider the compass points, N and S would be the red and blue spawns. E and W would be the red and blue bomb "finish" CP's for the tug of war. Also, since this is eGO, it's gotta be the game type of "Steal the Bacon"

We're just looking at actual numbers now . . . and considering options. I've said it twice now that we are not looking to replace Warpath, just get it filled. We're just considering putting up a different map that will bring players in while "we're asleep" here. The numbers right now don't say that players out of the U.S. want to play on warpath late at night (in the United States) on our server. We are trying to find an option to fill it. Simply put, if there is a crowd outside of the U.S. that wants to play warpath in the off hours in the U.S., they need to show up and keep the server filled. That's what we're trying to do. Again, we're just looking at options here.

There is only one server filled in the morning, when were starting the morning push, and thats 2Fort IR. So apparently thats the only server players out of the U.S. wanna play on. What counts for Warpath, counts for the others servers as well. Theyre all empty too, when americans are sleeping.
Yesterday it was the third full server, personally I dont see the problem.

It was nice and filled as previously mentioned, then went haywire 
Warpath is my favorite and always my first choice however my only window to play is between 8am - 9am PST and if the server is empty i got to Dustbowl instead (always full). If i had more time i'd seed the server and hang out but my goal is to get in there and make little bits out of the enemy!
Let me know if there is a way for me to do both!

I typically play late at night Pacific Time and Warpath usually has a playable amount of people on it and once in a while gets full. Seems to be doing good at THAT time, probably a good idea to try to make some changes for the times the server is a known "0 people" server.

I'm digging the fixed rotation idea for Warpath, how during the off hours we have another map. But IR maps? ew, but lets not get into the semantics of IR maps. I know we have a lot of cult following maps in eGO, be it Warpath Convoy or some other map im not aware of. Maybe if we paired it up we'd get an exceptional out come?
But like Hardhat said, There are players who visit Warpath in the late hours so if we tapped into the late hours we could possibly help fill not just Warpath, but all of our servers? What happend to our 24/7 filled maps? : (

I'm a big fan of this, and I believe I suggested it some time ago. I also think this would be a good way to introduce new maps to players. Another idea I like is a votemap server, where players decide which map to play (as opposed to a rotation server).

I like this idea, it has map changes but at least MOST people will stay cuz that is the map they voted for...

Oh warpath my sweet warpath! Please help fill this server everyone!
I have a question: if we have this many servers, not all can be #1 and if we have 3-2fort servers, one is bound to suffer and drop in numbers, and all the other maps we have tried on other servers still don't meet even warpath's standards, what are we going to put in warpath's place that will beat it and won't take players from our existing servers (ie, can't have 2 dustbowls without one suffering)? Play this out far enough and you might not want to test the loyalty of some of the regular pubs in warpath that makes it a consistent workhorse. There has been a drop-off late at night because of school, but I've seen what happens when warpath is tweaked wrong and it takes awhile to bring people back.
