ZMod Rank Balancing

[Chef C Green]

If it's looking up the win ratio for each escape map and gives varying points (ex: if map A has 95% chance while map B has 50% chance, beating odds from map A would have a slight additional points earned than from B?), It could work? I really like the achievement mod, but agree that it can be abused as Steamer mentioned, so the points overall shouldn't be too high. I don't know what values players would be earning?

Also, totally agree about the zspawn, but can it be inhibited after zombies spawn (or "x" amount of time longer than 2 seconds)? I go spec and rejoin every round depending on if I wanna play with a CT or T weapon =x? Agree though that it would stop all those late joiners looking for where people are going and escape map "rankwhoring" (it's a rule, but admins aren't always in servers too).

I don't care about any alternative to Zspawn, removing it alone would bring a huge balance to the rankings, and probably the most noticeable. This is a cold hard fact. It has deteriorated the server in more than one way. I have no other opinion besides removing it entirely. We had teamwork in the begging, our way around that, buy your buddy a weapon, there are plenty of funds for it, we even had dualie scripts to spam a few and drop at round start to give our brothers some nice sides on CT.

I agree 100% too many players go around this; make players wait for the next round.

As for the mod, it could work. I could see certain maps being played more frequently then others.

I like zspawn though D:
I dont care to join a game, and wait 20 minutes just to play. I join and want to play. And if I die early on, im going to afk instead of waiting 15 min twiddling my thumbs waiing for the round to end. I may come back 1 or 2 minutes after the game starts so I would like to play instead of waiting another 15 min for the next round.

That'd work, all for removal of the zspawn in this case.

Playing right when you enter the server is definitely preferred, but honestly I end up waiting for the next round anyway with all the "rankwhoring" scare we have going on (don't wanna spawn as a Z and get questioned for playing well =\). But yeah, sitting out just means you get to see who's on, say hi to people, and start conversing with the regs. The rounds only take 3-5 minutes for most cade maps, and 8-10 minutes MAX for an escape map. Realistically though you'll probably only be waiting about 2-5 minutes on average w/o zspawn so not too much of a drawback IMO .

Any old old player would agree to remove it entirely. We remember how the ZM was at one time, we would also like it back that way.

Yes I remeber the old times, that had more to do with the people then zspawn.
