Expanding the Servers!

[Christian]

I would be cool with server 2 changing to quick respawn and possibly all talk, I like that sometimes. And server 3 being a cp/ctf rotation with regular rules. I would play all 3 if they were set up like that.

what about a server that runs all or mostly all official maps. call it "all official maps server" lol

would be great for me when I start making videos again lol

[Janet Jackson]

oh like cp, pl, ctf, ad, koth all in one?  yeah I'd probably play it I like variety

my only concern would be server clearing maps

[Christian]

Agreed about that. I'm afraid of that too. But it would be fun to play different modes all in one server lol. Don't think alot of people are into that. Most people leave if the next map isn't going to be the same type they're on already.

[Luminair]

Keeping a keen eye to what is clearing the server will be important.  In the interest of keeping them full 24/7 though, I think it would be prudent to let respawn times stay normal and keep alltalk off.  Not that I wouldn't enjoy those, but on a trial basis this might make more sense. 

We can't be afraid to prune lackluster maps!

I'd love to see a server similar to Payload in every way, except without PL maps
It's been a while since I played CP or even CTF, but I feel we shouldn't combine too many game types on one server. We would also definitely need to remove unpopular maps, at least during late night/morning.

How many slots though? Keep 32? I know some maps *dustbowl* don't work well at all with 32 players. And how to decide the nextmap? Same system as Payload, fixed mapcyle? Lots of questions

[YO! Sushi]

Personally I prefer CP to PL and I'd love to play CP on hypreion servers  And I believe I'm not the only one who wanna play CP here!

Hmm, I dunno!  I played on SourceOP before I played on Hyperion, and Dustbowl worked - albeit in a few areas that narrow down.  We could try it with 32!  Maybe we could experiment with configurations for a week or so at a time?

I think the current voting structure will work well on a CP rotation.

Seconded!!

As for a possible CP server, I'd keep it as stock as possible to start with.  First, let's see if there's any ACTUAL interest (beautiful theories get screwed by ugly realities all the time) before a lot of time gets spent doing fancy configurations.     Second, it will allow us to get some baseline idea of preferences on how the server is running and third, it allows people to get a realistic opinion on what they like vs don't like.

I think a voice announcer, either male/female, announcing your kill streak would be interesting to see. I've always played on my favorite server back in CS 1.6, and several servers have this feature too 'til now. It's pretty fun to hear that you're dominating and such Then again, maybe some people might get tedious with the voice announcer so, perhaps the players could have the option of enabling it on or off when they join the server(s).

Haha I love this idea. Have you guys played on NO HEROES server? It is like that! I loved it. I even played there even tho I have 100 ping there. To see what I'm talking about: 64.34.175.210:27015

It plays "humiliation" when you backstab somebody lol. It's Unreal tournament voices lol. it says DOMINATING! lol so fun. or GODLIKE!

Haha i think that would be perfect for a fun server

[Sandie]

Haha i think that would be perfect for a fun server

Yeah i think if we had a fun server with like custom maps or settings and no worry of quickplay it would be great. On the main PL server supporting quickplay i think it would be a turn off for a lot of people. Plus on our main server we do get talkative and it could get kinda noisy so the option to turn them off/ on for each player would be important.

haha found a video of NO HEROES server:

[[SLUG] God Loves Ugly :D]

I'd really like to see the Payload Votation server be filled more regularly before expanding the servers. It's a clone of the Payload one, but I hardly ever see anyone in it. Having both servers filled to the max on a regular basis would be awesome imo.

[Luminair]

I have a feeling it is empty for that very reason: because it is a clone of another server

Agreed.  Given the choice between Payload and Payload Votation I prefer Payload; the teams and player counts are more stable.
