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.
-
Yeah just doing one randomizer would be cool, but every 6 months would really spice things up. All the big maps are very close together right now on the spread.
-
I think many of us would stroke out if HiTech actually responded to one of these threads on his bbs withhis thoughts...

I hope everyone knows why he doesn’t and only responds to the rare things that are explicitly cut and dry. It would be no win for him otherwise. Anything he says will have a large enough group to complain endlessly about whatever it is. Not to mention the groups of I told you so’s on both ends.
He made his statement on the AH SOTU… some people are still trying to come around.

Exactly.

:frown:True
May also explain why negative things are allowed here
-
Just to be clear, a yr ago he explained why he wasn’t doing anything ( personal issues) and hoped to get back to it soon, people hang onto Dev. So its not like they totally ignored it that why they think of new things because they are dense. Like was said every word matters.
Not trying to insult, just sayin
Things like Connection upgrade also speaks
Will there be a lot of coding? NOPE
-
I understand some wishes are too complex. However this is not, and it would be much better for the game to have them re-mixed. The current rotation is just stale. 7-11 all the big maps just not helping #s, espcially if those are the 2 weeks you get to play and its the slow maps with no action until 8pm.. but atleast a new rotation would spice things up. Literally no player should have a problem with this.

Agreed

And take the ones with the building, and whatever else, hack out of the rotation until fixed ;)
-
Was kinda hoping HT would comment on the map list edit request as he has done with the tower sitters thread..

What is the highest mountain in aces high?
-
I think the highest mountain possible is 32,000 feet. Not sure what the highest mountain is in the current terrains. (There are some 20,000ish feet "mountains" on the map edge in Crags, but they aren't -- or shouldn't -- be in play.)
