[Remove]zm_mario3_v4_finals

[Zuki]

Map: zm_mario3_v4_finals
Reason: Awful map, cramped and no one knows what to do or where to go and the round always ends up with 2 people hiding or in a place where people
cant go and then just empties the server. Cant use the roller coaster that is on the map as it goes to fast and just pushes you off. Terrible map.

[Zuki]

Bump?

[$Money$]

Ill change the map to this tonight and see what happens.

Alright we just played it. Roller coaster did push everyone off and couldn't drive. Also out of 20 ppl seemed like 15 hated it lol rtv that shit fast :icon_mrgreen:
Then again for some reason no one likes Zm anymore.

[Zuki]

Thanks for looking into it. I dont think that people dont like zm, i honestly think that alot of people dont get to play decent zm maps.

The zm server needs work. One thing that would help is to put upwards of only 20 solid maps, and build up from there based on suggestions made here with a popular vote from players.

[Zuki]

+1 to that, like 15 ze maps and 5 or so zm maps?

[I'm a zambi]

There are actually some great zm maps, it's just that no one ever plays zm anymore.

Panic beach, beachstrike, tx_highschool, urban downtown, onadega, etc.

Those are just off the top of my head. What might help, though, is to take a day or two and go through every single map on the server and ask the people online if they want to keep it or remove it. It might be difficult, but I think it's necessary for the health of the zm server.

On top of that, there should be some restriction for replaying maps over and over again (i.e. sorrento/shroom, there a few others).

To add to the overplayed list, Mountain Escape and Paranoid.

That is a solid suggestion zambers, but Anex already did that.

[Zuki]

There is also (even though i dont know where to find it) a plugin that ask's players in game to rate the map they play on,
at the end of the month you can then see what people like. takes a bit longer but worth a try.

If a map is played it can't be played again for 2 hours would be nice lol :icon_mrgreen:

[SCRIBBLE]

We had that plugin Zuki, but we encountered three issues that made the results insignificant:

1. A large majority of the votes cast were done by people who just wanted the wall of text to go away and did not bother to read the poll.

2. People who had played the map and saw the poll so many different times they would just mash a key to dismiss the poll.

3. An extemely slow response time from the one person that has the ability to add and remove maps. By slow response time, I mean seemingly nonexistent response time. Seemingly nonexistent to the point many people quit and will not return.

Ive noticed lately that if a ZE map doesn't have staffs or weapons to use people rtv. We have good and bad Zm maps but they never get played.
I guess its just the challenge of different levels on maps instead of the same thing over and over on a Zm map. We should do another map removal like you said Anex did.
No need for 2 shroom maps for example.

[SCRIBBLE]

I suggest figuring out which 20/25 maps you want to keep and build from there.

ZERO,
Do you have a link to all the maps we have? Or am I gonna have to do it the hard way lol :icon_mrgreen:

[Zuki]

Some of the ZE maps are classics asweell, but are boring as hell like ze_underground_escape (something lie that).
You do it once, then its just exactly the same again, thus emptying the server.

All i can say is doing what Scribble said would be the best plan of action.

If I'm not mistaken though, there is a problem with this list. I remember searching through it for a map that I knew was on the server but I couldn't find it. Could just be me though; I'd give it a shot.
