3 points map should go
« on: May 15, 2025, 09:45:44 AM »
I think this map is up like 2-4 days every time it comes up and when I log in, it seems like nothing much gets done on it when i log in the next day its back to almost balanced again, but it just doesn't produce the #s for some reason.

I truely believe that maps can bring a lot of #s, or they can scare people away with lack of action on the map.

2 things should greatly be considered right now.

        A. Does the map build up #s in the afternoon heading into primetime.

        B. We need a new randomized rotation. The rotation between craterMA through Oceana is not good. It's all the big maps at once. If you have 2 weeks to play and only play one huge map when you get a chance on the weekend and it's Oceana or BowlMA and their ain't nothing going on, why would a player stay? These huge maps all grouped up are not good for gameplay. Then when the smaller map rotation comes around. They get won in the early AM leaving very few players who actually get to play on them. Then roll around the large map section where they stay up for days. This is not a winning map rotation and it's hurting #s.

Also, with some maps the action is deliberately directed to go in one direction, making action going opposite much more difficult than it need be. There are at least 2 or 3 like this, can't recall off hand which ones.

I'm always right, it just takes some poepl longer to come to that realization than others.

Thanks, what do the colors represent?

Nothing specific, just the 1st, 2nd, 3rd time the map came up during that time

Ah cool. IMO, bowlMA - Oceana need to go. Keep craterMA if we must, but this rotation is stale but im also just not feeling 3 points for some reason its just not producing. I wish blacksea was smaller too, but just the way I feel.    :old:

Three points needs to have a few more points added one of the reasons this map gets bogged down is because it’s hard to get off one of those points or get it back.
Back in 2022 after a loooooong break from 2010. Old name Ratpack, same for the BBS.

Squad I did the most tours with were the Excaliburs then The 172nd Rabid Dogs. Still trying to talk Illigaf, Coola, Oldman22, and Joecrow into coming back instead of being boring old farts!

Why the hesitation to remove the maps that slow gameplay/reduce numbers?

This isn't a new discovery..

I thought I had read somewhere it was just a list that could be edited..
