Northco map

[RotBaron]

I love this map and so do many others I hear on country and see on 200.

Unfortunately this map stays up for less than 12 hours but more often much less than that.

Last night the Bishops rolled it in ~3hours. 

I know a few don’t care for it much because there’s no CV’s…

It started with Knights not defending their bases vs the Bish horde (minus a handful like Maxy, myself and a couple others). Then Rooks did the same thing.

It’s just a shame a great map like this one is so easily rolled (Bish even had ENY).

Maybe they like the map because it's easy to roll?

Seems that's the main thing in the MA these days.

So why not just put it in the rotation more often?

Short lived maps are fine. Its a good map. Need more like it to rotate thru!

 I like that map as well. It has subtle rolling hills that is good for  gv’ing. I hope the fighter and bomber pilots enjoy it as well. It is one of the best in the current rotation.

My guess would be maps are pulled from a database in a sequence via code to insure maps are not duplicated to frequently.

You would think to code particular maps to be pushed into play more frequently than other less popular maps would not be a big  code change.

Hitech would just need a list of the best (smaller) maps so he could prioritize those over the less desirable ones..

Maybe HT can speak to that.

I believe the order is fixed. If you ask our buddy Lunatic what map is next......he is always correct.

I know enough about software development to sound stupid but the app is being feed the value which determines the map right?
My guess it is pulled from a table.
The order which those values are being pulled would be abled to be updated/controlled.
If it is a hard coded list, the values of the best maps would need to be inserted into the the list more frequently than the less desirable maps.

I am sure it is more complicated than that...maybe

its just a list. When a map is won, it just loads the next map on the list. To change the rotation all they have to do is either remove the large maps from the list, or add the smaller maps more often in the list.

The players that say they really love Northco don’t want the map to be rolled.

They like that you can into the action quickly with close GV spawns and air bases that are close together.

Sounds promising. Hope to see it up on a Friday night so I can check it out.

Has a list of maps (smaller) that work best been drawn and shared with HT as the preferred maps over the ones most seem to dislike and get stuck in the game to the paying subs disagreement?

If it's just a list it sounds easy to change and see if it helps game play and sub numbers

Missed it again the other day. Was rolled during morning…

Was up about 5-6 hours 

Good maps up for very short period, but only the paying players seem to care anymore.

Ain't that the truth.....

[RotBaron]

Map was up less than 12 hours yesterday 

Don’t know what can be done. This by far stays up for the shortest period.

It’s too bad because it’s one of the new maps we have and most don’t get to see it.
