Server Suggestions and To Do List

Server Stats Suggestion:

Please read this entirely without /flaming me. I am being constructive and the new system I describe below should be easy to implement and effective. The current system fails, everyone knows it, so if nothing else we should at least ‘try’ to attempt a new formula.

I say it’d be a well designed system if everyone got the same amount of ppk (depending on weapon modifier. Essentially meaning the ppk equation = 1 and the weapon modifiers control the ppk(points per kill). Let me elaborate why this ‘should’ work better than our current equation.

If player uses this gun he always gets x amount of points would make sense. The current formula that calculates points is terrible. If people get 2 – 5 points a kill (based on weapon), 10 or so points per hostage rescue/bomb plant, and 3-5 per win then it would make sense. This way if your doing well and getting a lot of kills your score goes up. If your sucking, dying a lot, your score goes down but can still be augmented by the fact that you plants bombs or rescue hostages and the possiblity of your team winning.

(Objectives would be encouraged with this system in a more efficient way than the current system. It doesn’t currently because objectives are *edited* compared to killing someone for 20-25 points).

I don’t see why we can’t ‘try it’ for a semester. It isn’t going to cause anymore *edited*ing than we already have.

The new system does need to be implemented ‘only’ after a stats reset.

A formula based on your score vs. another players score would work ‘if’ everyone on the server was a regular. It doesn’t work because we have huge numbers of new players on a daily basis. The stats can never be accurate because there isn’t a consistent player base to base it on. Simply making it so nubs don’t get points til 100 kills also doesn’t solve the problem because they can still take 10-25 points from anyone with a high number of points once they get 100 kills.

With the new system a player knows why they are progressing, have a positive K:D ratio and/or win/complete objectives. With the current system the rank, to an extent, depends on the luck of whether or not you kill a high ranked player or are killed by someone well below you. This leaves the player unsatisfied and frustrated because they can’t choose who they kill or who they are killed by (to an extent the last part, everyone dies, and this system still shows who is the best player). Luck should not be ‘the deciding factor’ in our ranking system. (Obviously there are those that rarely ever die but this won’t affect them anyways, they still get the rank they deserve)

Basically the stats should be based on your K:D ratio, objective completions, wins, and what weapon you use. Without a consistent player base, using a formula based on the ranks is inaccurate and as has been seen, frustrating for many people.

Trying something ‘new’ shouldn’t really be a big deal! Lets go for it and see what happens!

Here’s why: You have a positive KDR. Every session, your points would go up. People with higher KDRs would go up even faster. The score would be nothing but a reflection of a player’s KDR times time played (except for an occasional objective) – and since most people are around 1.2, it would be pretty much about how frequently someone plays. Not only that, but new players wouldn’t stand a chance because we all have days and days of play time up on them, and they would get dissatisfied and leave. There’s no way to “move up” in the system without grinding endlessly.

I’ve suggested capping points at 10 in the past. It’s not a terrible idea.

2minuts is barely long enoulf to run to the hostage room and back on assult

the map is hard enoulf on the CT’s as is. whats thei the retarted short timelimit? make it longer!

Upped it to 2.5

Is there any way to turn stats off in the warmup rounds? i know stats arent that terribly important, but I think most people will agree that if you’re gonna take our points away, at least do it during real gameplay.

No, it’s not possible. Sorry.

often times in militia that iv seen the ct’s get to the hosties and take out all the t’s cept one terrorist, that hides and the ct’s run out of time trying to get the hoties to the rescue zone

i dunno about thunder…if your quick you can get to those hosties pretty fast, if you get to them at all, i’ve done it a couple of times, but it helps if the t’s don’t know how to play it. Militia, if properly rushed (again if possible) the cts can not only get the hosties but completely destroy the t’s, i guess people need to focus more on the objective, cause i’ve seen a lot of hostage and planting maps were the teams just try and kill everyone. And by the way what happened to drugbust? has that gone the way of sk1? cause i’d rather play that then italy, at least it’s quicker… recently it feels like italy has been getting a lot of play time (which sucksssssssssss) cause there are other maps that are more fun. I like havana, even though i don’t know it that well, it’s usually pretty enjoyable, and the cts can really get those hosties out fast, if the t’s aren’t paying attention. Even mill is more enjoyable, now that i’ve figured out how not to die in 2 seconds, i dunno, and why does assualt and aztec get so many *edited* votes? Does anymore really have a good time? cause last time i was on it, we had a pretty stacked t team (or so i thought, dave, durka and some other guys that were at least having a good day) and after the cts got awps we got shut down for at least the next 6 rounds and only when they grew slack on coverage did we when a few (of course my views might be biased cause i hate the awp-oh *edited* i saw you on my scope and clicked and now your rush is done….weeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee. But whatever, oh and recently there’s been a rash on clan stacking, just an fyi, not majorly but enough to kinda *edited* people off

anyways that’s my 2 cents and ooooooooooo xena is on

that involve atl tabbing? cause my computer cries when i leave cs in the middle of a game… or even when i close it normally (sadness) it’s not major clan stacking,but mainly 3 guys on one team, not major but enough to skew it (i feel) i know ace did it once and some newer users (don’t remember clans)

Does the Warmup round have to be 6 minutes long?

also, i would like to be an admis aswell.

i also think havana needs to be in rotation more often, because i can get the hosties within 25 seconds and its just a really fun map.

courthouse also, i want it on.

from what i have noticed only our server “out of the ~30 others servers that i have joined/tested” take SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO frickin long at the screen “Retrieving Server Info”

I beleave this is the root problem in why it takes so long for people to join our server. By fixing this we can then get everyone ingame quciker and thus not have such a long warmup.

Is this fixable?
