Author Topic: Map Rotation: A Change of Heart (Read 1160 times)

I used to be against forced map rotation, but since trinity has pretty much been up for last 2 months and I havent seen ueterus nor mindy for a loooong time, I have changed my mind.

Make each map last 5 full days, no matter how many times it is reset or if it hasn't been won yet.

I beieve we have 6 maps, and this would give us 5 full days of each per month.

I second that motion

I am a fan of Trinity, but I want some variety... I miss Uterus

Yes, I agree, too.

*******

Also, I thought there were one or two other maps for the MA under development. True or false? And if true, are they near being ready?

Good Call!! Agree

Yes, I agree (and said so many times.) After X days (5 sounds good), rotate the map. If there's been no reset, cool, no one wins the war.

Yes good idea.

Do you mean that when a map is won, the same map comes
up again within the 5 days?

That's certainly not what I meant - not sure about Furious. If a map is reset in an hour, we move on to the next map; if it's not reset in 5 days, we move on to the next map.

I think a majority of AH participants believe "Trinity" is our best map. However, when you have to fly the same map day in, day out, it gets really old, especially with the large distances between fields.

We used to have the same map for a month, but we had far fewer participants and short distances between fields. And, we're used to rapid turnover in maps.

If we continue as we have in the past, all of us are going to have "Trinity Burnout" and that's a shame.

I agree with the rotation periods rather than developing a lack of interest due to one dominant map.

Agree!!!:D

I like this Idea.

5 days sounds quite good, although a little longer would not be bad, IMHO....like 7 or 10 days.

If a map is reset, then next one would be up.

A timed map reset would be good...

btw I don't mind if Pepe stay stuck alone in the former map

I think he meant that if the map is reset before 5 days are up then it is simply used again until it's 5 days are up.
