Damn if I knew what I was doing, Star I was trying to follow you but we both kept getting killed before we got anywhere interersting..oh well it was sweet anyway

Its funny that when we were on Beach ONLYa few days ago the server was almost maxed out with players way until the wee hours of the morning but with the ice rotation when it got way late last night there were only 3 of us on per side. Maybe this rotation thing is not going to work so well.

I've been dropped several times when either going into Ice or going into Beach. Uber annoying. And it isn't as simple as rejoining. Punkbuster ensures at the least you have to re-start the game.... So you go through the mapload, apprx 30 seconds, then get kicked to the Wolf main screen.... exit wolf, restart wolf, go back to the server, wait for it to re-load... All in all, several minutes later you can start playing again. Maybe that isn't a big deal but it's annoying. Most times I just drop out and do other stuff.

And I have a fairly good system, with cable, so none of that is the problem.

I agree about the participation thing... when it's only beach the server gets a lot of action...with map rotations we lose like 30-50 % of the 'patrons'. Maybe a different map. Chateau sounds good.

Naturally I'd prefer just Beach

I have never lost my connection but I know what you are talking about Keek. I noticed early this morning when we were all on Ice and it switched to beach, we lost most of the players.

There were only 3 on each side again. Eventually some came back but only 3 or 4 more per side. I noticed you were not one of the ones that came back. This rotation really seems to be killing the wee hours on the server.

I say "Stop with the map rotation.".

We are alienating our community. Too many people are leaving due to this rotation.

:flame:

Well, it's a simple solution here then. Make the server 24/7 Ice since so many people left when the sevrer went to Beach.

Alphid I think ComTech meant it the other way around.

If I'm right, that means you'd be FOR beach coming back as a 24/7 map of players choice right?

Actually, the game drops me when we go back to Beach. I love Beach.... but getting dropped like that, going through the hassles of re-joining, and knowing that 50 percent of the players are going to be gone because they were dropped too makes me disinclined to rejoin.

Enough with the rotation already. Maybe a map like chateau will work...but even then, if so many people are experiencing drop issues, what's the point?

Is the point to kill ecgn's Beach server?

Anyone can look at the stats from the past few weeks.... What does it take to convince people that there are serious issues with rotation?

Keek.

I was just on the server tonight when it switched to Ice.. 9 overflows and it kicked me too (I was in spec) so make that 10. I have yet to see ppl get kicked off the server when we go back to beach. *shrugs*

I've seen people get dropped switching both ways. If it's a drop due to pb, maybe your pb is not up to date? I've never had a connection or pb issue though, so I don't exactly understand if it's server/map rotation or due to the client side setup.

I play here all the time, only DiesToEasyMachine plays more than me, and I see how the 20-30 per cent of players has connection problem, and leaves. I think less people leaves the server by the connection or by doesn´t like the map (compared with TRAM map). But its sad when I play (high night hours 3 to 8 AM) see less people than when the server was pure beach, and only regulars plays, the newbies disconnect when the map changes, and there are regulars (how killer, barbie...) that are specting (really they r sleeping rofl).

Ice rotation!
