Add a minimum map up time
« on: June 17, 2017, 10:58:51 AM »

Why?  I can't think of any reason why a map shouldn't be replaced when a side wins.

so players can play on a map without it being rolled in less a day

EDIT: I have logged in to the MA certain times and have had the map nearly gone when i logged in

at that rate all 10 maps would get so boring.

what I would like to see is a 5 day limit instead of 7 day.
I know your gonna say maps don't last that long any way.

winning the map is the deal here, if there's nothing to win there's no sense in in playing

the reason that maps are being rolled, is that most of the Bish never go to bed, some how they always have at least 10 more players on in the morning's  then the Knights or rooks do, rooks having the lowest. so they horde the bases, and roll the map.

It seems to me that you are saying you don't want people to win a map so easily.

That sounds like a map design issue combined with country side dominance. 

I don't think I'd want to be on a map where one side was continually winning the same map over and over just so we could play the map longer.

they can't win the same map over and over, the maps are in a numbered rotation.

the bish win a lot of maps easily because they have at least 10 more people on than Knights or Rooks and Rooks are pansies, they won't defend against Bish they would rather attack Knights so knights have to defend against 2 countries most of the time, But it's not bish's fought that Knights and rooks don't have more numbers logging in

The OP proposed that a minimum time be set, so YES, a country could win the same map over and over if that happened.

right this very minute-CraterMA map is up it's been up for 3 days 4 hrs 25 mins
bish have 27 players on Knights 12 and rooks 16.

when you have those numbers it's easy for bish to roll a map,   
Monday AT 11:59 am where do bish get 27 players, I guess they have more retired people playing than rook or knights..
bish have 23.8 eny but you won't see any of them switching. right now bish have 10% of nit bases and 8% rook.they gonna try to win it today

I would like the "24 hour minimum/72 hour maximum map rotation standard" put into effect.

If a map gets rolled before 24 hours, the same map comes up again with the reset.  It sucks if your favorite map gets rolled before you can even log on.

If a map has been up 72 hours without a winner, the map is reset to the next one in the rotation.  Any more than three days and a map can get stale.

The answer would be to fix the reason maps turn over so quickly. 

Either that or set a random life-time known only to HTC for every map upped then which ever country has the most points at the maps end wins the map.  The random end time would be across the full 24 hour day.
