New map rotation
« on: June 27, 2025, 09:21:10 PM »
Wishing for a new randomized map rotation. The larger maps are too close together in rotation. Also just to switch up things a bit.

Thanks

Let's get rid of the largest maps that no one wants anymore due to lower numbers...

I heard it is as easy as editing a list..

This is about the 100,567 time this has been requested if my addition is correct...lol

Only about 10% use bbs, so I may be off. But maps has become a majority concern and some change should happen.

Its not hard to remove some maps as new maps come into play.

Pizza map repulses me since its first day. Even if it produces fights, its so damn arcade I most often don’t even want to look at it. Numbers seem to drop when its up. I’d get rid of thise arcade maps first before based on size. If players come from other sims and see that, its just too gamey incomparison. They turn me off as I’m closer to a simmer than a gamer.

Its probably hard for HT to remove something someone put so much work into, but if we ran a poll 2-3 would lose.

I can’t seem to grasp why it would not change, it just seems it won’t :(

This wish is just to re-order the maps. If you'll notice, bowlMA, CraterMA, and Oceania are almost one after the next. With a map or 2 in between, but this is part of of the rotation I loath the most espcially during the weekends. Would just enjoy a new rotation to be honest if there is no consideration to remove any.

Thx Jimmy! Yup, 7-11 is what im talking about. CraterMA and Oceania should not be back to back and then close to Buzzsaw and BowlMA. That little section there during the weekend is horrible. If not get rid of them, atleast a re-mix up of rotation would be nice.

So is it as simple as editing the list?

If that's the case and we can't even get movement with such a simple request..I think we have our answers..

On another note 8 to 9 pm est was a blast last night working with the knights...

Maybe what we need to do is get Hitech to randomize the list every 6 months. On the other hand, if we get  him to remove the 3 or 4 we don't enjoy, then randomize it one time would work.

Yes it is a list, as maps are won, the server cycles through the list. The list can be edited.
