View Full Version : If we get another server, what will it be?

Me and Mastagunz were talking today, and neither of us know what is going to come of either the next server or an old server. As a regular, I would like to know what the next server will be before I decide to either get admin, or reserved slot, I love IBIS the community, but I would like a server of minigames, jailbreak, hosties, or deathrun. I like zmod off and on, and pub is always good for an hour, but those 4 game mods are extremely fun for me.

I would like either zero or jigsaw to say what's going to happen, and the rest of you, tell what you would like to happen.

Jailbreak is sadistic, I'd never want to see IBIS host a jailbreak server. Deathmatch on the other hand, is one of my favorites because you don't have to wait to respond. One thing I never liked about it though was the map sizes were usually too small. But if we had large maps+DM I wouldn't mind it.

But Breezy, we're talking maybe a half year or year into the future when Zero might add another server, so I'm not sure if they even know. I know that a few of us are just now starting to get pub active again, and I'm not entirely sure WCS is filled most the time either, which means they would probably want to wait a bit longer for things to get a bit more active before adding another server.

Besides, the current servers all need work as well, they can only do so much. Though hopefully Zero and Jigsaw will continue to take suggestions for maps and fixes on servers. If so, then thats one less thing they have to bother with.

James,
I understand, completely. The point of the thread was for any thoughts on things like this: I believe that the wcs server should be switched out for a minigames server, while I understand others may disagree, I'm just stating my opinon. I don't enjoy wcs as much anymore, because I have over played it. Which is, in part, my fault, but that's what i want.
I'm just looking for brains storms, I'm very against paying for admin and those type of things, but for IBIS I want to see it continue running, because all the players here are loads of fun. So, I before paying ANYTHING, I would like to see where the servers are going, the base for weither or not I will enjoy IBIS forever, or only when I feel like playing zombie or pub. Thanks for the feed back.

I hate Jailbreak too.

Minigames would be awsome. I head over to Steamgamers at least once or twice a week to get it out of my system. There are some really cool minigames maps that could be fun with the GG and ZM crowds.

I agree with you about switching the WCS server for another one, but I don't think Zero or Jigsaw would have bothered getting a server if they didn't put a lot of time into thinking about what kind of server to get.

Though as I said before, I wouldn't mind a DM server. That or a second ZM server, dedicated to escape maps only. But I realize that's probably asking for too much.

As for the minigames server.. I've personally had bad experiences with it at Steamgamers, and can't stand it. But that's just me.

*Cough..* I got muted for playing my Indiana Jones theme song music while two guys were running up a hill dodging rocks.. And shortly after got banned for asking why they muted me without even asking me once to stop.. Especially since I was muted AFTER I stopped.. I think they thought I was going to turn it into a argument or something. Though that wasn't really the bad experience part.. I rather actually play a DM server instead of sitting in spec most the time, which I could just do in ZM to watch for cade breakers and what not.

Yeah apparently they had no sense of humor. I don't even know why I went there to be honest.. I think I was asking Hobo why he was there and not ZM. So after I got banned I just went back to having fun killing zombies.

If Zero ever decides to put a new server, it should be with something that other servers don't have. Other servers have minigames, deathmatch and ect. We should make our own server moded server. I mean we should have enough time to make one because we just got WCS.

Personally I would like to see an attack and defend server whether it be capture the flag or RB6V style "gather the intel" kind of match.

Or how about a crazy boss server. Players would get into group of like 15 to 20 and run through a map with doom 3 like bosses and they will have to work together to over come them and complete the map. <--- That is my favorite idea for a server

Clever :wtg: Although I Would Love To have A Deathrun (Not DeathMatch) Server They're Alot Of Fun To Play On :icon_mrgreen:(That's Actually One Of My Faves)
But I Think I Like Anex's Idea Better, That's Something Different And I Think That Idea Would Make Ibis Come Back Alive Again!!!! But That's Up To Zero, Idk If He Has The Time To Make A Server Like That, Because That Would Take "Alot" Of Work.

Both of those have been done, Annex.

In a couple minigames server there's been the capture the flag, and I've seen zombie hunting servers with BOSSES, it's really neat. I would like to see this happen, but maybe even something that was even MORE in depth than what has been done.

I would like to know the ip's for these servers...

Assault server?

Terrorists start at one end, the CTs on the other. The terrorists try to take over the CTs spawn point by planting a bomb there or something, and the CTs try and defend it within 6 minutes or so. Automatic respawn and 16000 cash?

Played that kind of game in Timesplitters 2 and loved it.

+1

Loved that kind of gameplay.

Back in my Battlefield Bad Company days there was a game mode called Gold Rush. Basically it's a giant long map that would get longer and longer as you destroyed one base at a time, while the other team tried to defend.

I don't have the server with the bosses, it's gone. But, there's some ctf minigames out there, some involve shooting, other's involve cannons and knives.

Ya something like that, something different at least. I'm going to try to work on a mod of my own in my spare time. Its going to be awhile though because I deploy to romania, florida, then iraq. It will be awhile before it gets done :[

You're going to Florida eh? Don't come to the woods, its boring and there's nothing to do but play video games. Then again.. I do like video games..

a surf server would be the next best one.

I like anex's CtF idea.

and I don't know if there's a mod out there, but I really had fun with Halo's 'King of the Mountain' and 'Oddball' games.

if you don't know....
King of the Mountain: Higlighted area becomes the mountain, be the only one in it and you get time/points. Mountain moves ever5-30sec to a random spot.

Oddball: Player with the ball gets time/points. Can not use ranged weapons, increased or decreased speed, increased health, increased melee attack

I just played a Deathrun server for 5 minutes to see what it was..

For the love of all that is holy do NOT get a deathrun server.. I beg of you.. Get a zombie escape map server instead, it's basically the same time.

That or something else..

I pretty much wouldn't want another server. What I would like if our server were able to allow users who have steamcracked accounts have access. I've noticed there was much more traffic in other servers who grant access to cracked accounts.

crack accounts = more hackers.

Yes it will bring in more people but it's not always a good thing.

I agree with holy, DON'T make it non VAC! Surf is fun too! I like a lot of other things, I just want something different, I want a mod that isn't based on shooting, or at least integrates some movement skills into shooting. It's more challenging!

No it wont be non-vac....just a plugin that will allow cracked accounts. Yes there will be more hackers but thats what admins are there for....to monitor hackers...

half the game is movement regardless of what mod you play

I understand that much, but I mean more difficult movement, like minigames, surf, or deathrun. :D

If I ever were to start a server, or was given the option on what a new server would be, I would definatly want to start a 24/7 GG/DM Hangem high server with low grav. One used to exist and I had so much fun there. Played the shit out of it. From what I heard, it was ranked pretty high on the server stats. Then the owner got tired and closed up shop. :(

Thats what I would do. The server was always populated.

Just trying to pull this to some newwer ideas, hopefully get some more people to put in their 2 cents...

What do you guys think would be a good idea for a new server, if and/or when we get one?
