I'm honestly pretty tired of the official maps.  I mean I still spend the majority of my time on them because it's better to have a stable playing field for everyone, but the occasional custom map keeps me from falling asleep as the WASD keys.

Requesting admin commands & instructions, or at least the removal of all custom maps from the rotation.

:serious:

Same please.

I paid into the damn thing, I'd like to get in.

Though I don't the custom maps since I've downloaded them all by now.

More than everyone fucking leaving because they don't have tghe map, and the server is downloading too slow, or chain disconnecting them? Because we just went from around 8v8 to 4v4 because of this nonsense.

If we're going to have custom maps, we probably should compile a .zip/list/otherwise easy-to-grab pack, so at least people can come a little more prepared and we get less departures. I prefer the official maps, but if we have to have custom maps...yeah.

Tonight was pretty fucking miserable, akin to have my face curb-stomped into a pile of shit while everyone laughed at how inept I was. Thought people would be used to how much I suck by now, but ah well.

Some kind of compromise where we take out all the bullshit gimmick maps (billiards, Pac-Man, etc) would be nice. So would mirroring the maps somewhere, because honestly the upload on that server is terrible.

Pac-Man is to date the only gimmick map I have played that I actually enjoyed.

gimmick maps

These are the only custom maps I generally tolerate, and one per night fills the quota. Otherwise, while Rocketing Off Again on SUPER SERIOUS CUSTOM MAP, my inner-critic is just deconstructing the absurdities, and not paying attention to teamwork. Or objectives. Or what weapon I'm holding.

:mahboi: Sometimes I even forget to breathe and pass out.

I'll endure Frontier & Aerospace on my own time, with larger teams working as instructors and cover. Meanwhile, forming a functional nightly server would be ideal.

Arc has admin access, zara set it up, you just need to type admin into the console to bring up the menu. You can't really fiddle with the map rotation there though, but you can set the next map and change maps and stuff.

Pac-Man can be fun. I confess that I also kind of liked the Donkey Kong map, but I don't think that's on our customer server.

However, the issue is not which custom maps are good. The issue is that anytime a custom maps loads, the content is irrelevant because anyone who doesn't have it can't get in. Now, if someone was willing to set up a download mirror, we'd have a better argument for custom maps. But I sure don't have anything for that.

We need to set up a standard rotation of standard maps though. Like, custom maps are okay if they're voted in.

Donkey Kong

:serious:  Aw HELL no.

Maps based on Donkey Kong apparently suck in every game except Donkey Kong, as a rule.  This includes games that are not Donkey Kong but have Donkey Kong in the title.  Just, no.

As I've said before, anyone who adds custom maps to the rotation needs to upload those somewhere everyone can get it at least several days in advance.

The alternative, as Sun Tzu says, is that the stronger men will be in front, the jaded ones will fall behind, and on this plan only one-tenth of your army will reach its destination.

And I'd say he knows a little more about fighting than you do, because he invented it.
