New map voting

Alexander theGreat · 2024-04-25 21:36:34

Is it possible to go back to the old map voting "rule"?
At the moment when you vote another map you have to play the actual map nevertheless to the end. But IMO map voting is for ending unwanted maps and playing better ones.

I like the old way of voting more.

A successful map voting now just sets the next map to be played and does not change map, if there are more than 3 players in the server. It only works as the old way of voting with 3 or less players. This minimum number of players can be adjusted easily.

Sadly with low population as it is now on all SiMPLE servers, the option to chose the next map instead of current one makes players leave rather than stay. Some maps are much disliked by players and if they cant even change the map immediately with voting to the map majority wants, they will just leave than wait for the next map - saw it plenty of times in the last few weeks. At this point the majority of players wants to go back to the previous system and since the change was made players numbers went down. If we want the population to rebuild, we need to listen to players more.

Can't make everyone happy.

"Disable map voting"
"We could use map voting"
"Map voting should set next map"
"Change it back to default map voting"
So, what is it?
Yes, nothing could be more true, you can't make everyone happy.

Majority of players and admins wants to go back to previous system of voting, please.
Can't please everyone but we shall hear what majority of players wants.

Are you sure about that? Personally, I dislike changing a map in the middle of a round, even if the current map is not popular.
Anyway, the number of players to change a map by map vote has been upped to 6 players. So, with 6 players or less a map vote changes immediately the map.

Paul Baumer · 2024-05-09 22:52:28

Yes I am sure, seen not only from playing daily but also from the feedback I receive via pm, on discord, reading server chat and logs.. and seeing players numbers before new map vote was introduced and after. If players don't post on this forum it's mostly because they don't feel like anything can change, which is sad, but I guarantee you this mapvote does bad more that it does good. It may work just well with many players(we are talking 40 and more) but as for now it's damaging the servers.
Changing it from 3 to 6 won't change anything. I'd suggest changing that number to 20 if you want to see some change at least. But honestly the faster we go back to previous vote system the better.

How about a poll to decide?

Blindschuetz · 2024-05-09 22:55:35

Yes, Paul Baumer is right.
Let a mapvote set the next map is a really good idea, but -
the problem is that there are and always will be players who either don't care or simply are not aware
to set a more appropriate map as next in time.
The current system could be fine, but would require more participants.
Bots don't vote.

Edit:
Yes, make a poll.
I guarantee you, it will be like 20 : 5 for the old system.

P.S.
As for me, i also don't really like to change a map in the middle a game.
But being stuck on Iwo Jima with 10 other guys simply s*cks.

Yes, Iwo Jima can become a very lonely place with a few players. Let it be the old way of map vote.

Paul Baumer · 2024-05-09 23:15:39

not to mention gazala, guadal and philippines with 7 players.
Thanks tuia, much appreciated.

tuia · 2024-05-09 23:24:22

Philippines is a great map even with few players, you can have some boat races.

Zatoichi · 2024-05-10 02:00:36

Thats a very poor mentality about a map that will be absolute tedium for a majority of players
but still a minority as not enough players,
phillipines was only optimal with 40+ players to maintain worthwhile activity through the map
and worth fighting in to decide the outcome,
boat races between a few players is pandering to a tiny minority,
as for the map vote change, ive already told you, you guys want the server to refill?
Keep the optimal map list devoid of Kharkov, Wake and Iwo for now, streamline for the best maps, inf included, berlin,
not stali yet, and take away vote entirely,
just force people to play a regimen, when they can see the actual list as it is
they plan and schedule around it,
not when the actual map loads do not match the list and get rando'd the F around all over
with no real sense of what is happening in 1-2 hours,
when the population rises and remains consistently so,
then bring back the old system of voting.

(edit insert) Actually do restore instant map change vote but only for late night hours after 12 am maybe and disabled by 9 am, or when server population is below a certain level say 24 players.
