Map Timelimit

Post by ant_8490 »

I've been noticing that less and less maps are being played on the server each day due to extremely long maps times. Some maps are being played up to 2 hours at a time without a single RTV. I know I would get bored of a map if I played on it for 2+ hours straight.

So now there is a time limit that is currently set at 45 minutes. This means that a map vote will be triggered when the RTV limit or the map time limit is reached (whichever comes first).

Reply here if you think 45 minutes as the maximum time played on a map is a good value to start off with or let us know what time may be better.

Well, obviously yes. I think that it will gives us more of a thrill to play new maps to see if they are any good or bad. That way, we won't lose players incase they want rtvs

45 minutes seems fair, I know for one that I get really bored of always playing the same map for hours.

Thanks for adding this :D

Just a thought.
The last few times I played deathrun, I noticed that the same maps were being played over and over again.
Some of the old maps, not just the really old ones hardly got played.
Could I suggest trying an increase the map rotation limit, so more maps get to be played before the same boring ones are played again.

Seems relevant.

I feel that those 45mins takes forever, we're hitting like 30 rounds on small maps. Decreasing the time to 30 would be nice, my opinion thou. I want to switch maps faster so we can show our continent to new players and get something new more often.

Bah..
I don't like many of old maps and think we should remove 20 maps so the nominate list isn't that big..
I would not enjoy the game if we were playing all the shit instead of all the good maps :P

And I agree whit Travis!
45 min for one map is long time!
