I think u shouldnt replace that maps...i hate ub clif but its the best for newbies to learn.
of course everyone here will tell u to change them but the beginners love it.
at least when i started playing 4 months ago i loved your server.
-
you could always throw blitz on there to liven things up lol
-
Die in a fire plz.
But yeah, adding more maps is always good. Do it.
-
blitz, blitz3d, blitz4 or blitzdp1 ?
Mapname of "Die in a fire" ?
-
ub_cliffs
ub_4cliffs
pbcup_renoir
darkages
2 last maps so the newbies would see that there actually some nice looking maps in dp.
-

i think that was a shot at me for saying to add blitz lol. please dont add blitz. it's too small and it would never end with 5 sec respawns. i was mostly trying to be sarcastic and somewhat funny. (=

Hey don't become abusive :( U don't must play on it.
PS: I'm 21 years old ;D
-
personally i think you should get rid of the speed server.
-
I would like it if kingdom was taken off and 33 or some other map that wasn't so darned huge be put on.
-
Ok, we have:
- crates (ftp://85.214.56.218/pub/Maps/crates.bsp)
- ub_cliff (ftp://85.214.56.218/pub/Maps/ub_cliff.bsp)
- blitz4 (ftp://85.214.56.218/pub/Maps/blitz4.bsp)
- ub_4cliff (ftp://85.214.56.218/pub/Maps/ub_4cliff.bsp)
- pbcup_renoir (ftp://85.214.56.218/pub/Maps/pbcup_renoir.bsp)
- darkages (ftp://85.214.56.218/pub/Maps/darkages.bsp)
- shazam33 (ftp://85.214.56.218/pub/Maps/shazam33.bsp)

- dome (beta1 atm) (ftp://85.214.56.218/pub/Maps/beta/dome_b1.bsp)
More or other?

I'm not going to be playing on this server since I don't like short respawn times, but I'll go ahead and give my input on the maps anyway:
crates - I've always hated crates. Everybody just sprays the one base entrance.
ub_cliff - I've always hated ub_cliff, too, for basically the same reason. Everybody just rushes to key locations and sprays. The flag is also too easy to defend.
blitz4 isn't even lit, has all kinds of texture misalignment, and looks terrible. This map needs to be dropped into the abyss of poorly made maps that should have never been released.
ub_4cliff - This doesn't work well with the quick respawns since once a team is eliminated, they are out until the round is over. It's a little better than ub_cliff, though, I guess.
pbcup_renoir - high or the r_speeds and not very newbie friendly, so a lot of players that like that server will probably hate it, but it's good for some variation.
darkages - good choice
shazam33 - new players seem to love the shazam series and they at least have more than 1 path, so this will probably be popular.
anubis - r_speeds are pretty rough on this one and it needs a lot of tweaking, but the layout looks interesting. The author should post a thread about this for feedback and it should get out of the beta stage before going into a live rotation.
dome - This would be a lot better with low-end weapons. I hate spawns with autocockers. It also looks like it was compiled with the old bsp pack, since the reflected light is super bright. A DM map in rotation would make for a fresh change, though. This map also needs a thread for discussion and improvement.
I think one thing you need to do is make all maps available for voting, so people can at least vote different maps into rotation for a change. I noticed on the current server, other maps don't even exist -- not even the standard ones that were released with the game. Why not run all the servers out of the same directory so all maps are available to all of them?

Dont change aything...this server is where everyone starts...
its probably the most important server of the game...when someone starts to play this game (like every game) u die a LOT and if u w8 1 min to respawn and then die again u wont play this game never again...
just question yourself why that server is always with 32 players (what happens to be the full capacity)....u dont see it in any other server....
and if u feel the NEED to change, change kingdom because the newbies LOVE ub_cliff

I disagree. Counter-strike doesn't even have respawns, and look how many people play that. Sometimes you end up waiting several minutes before you can play again, and you can't even ghost in the meantime (usually).
-
I think you should just take the server offline. Forever.

CS has obviously some publicity this game dont have...everybody play cs...u cant just say cs sucks...but this is a game that people try and if they dont like it they never play it again (cause its free). I say again: this is the server where all beginers learn the basics of paintball...look at the people who are at that server and look at the people that is in the other servers...
-
the server doesn't teach them anything about the game except how to whine in a real server saying "respoon tyme iz 2 lung"

yeah, i have seen that too. i go in there from time to time just to waste time, it's kinda fun in its own way. it's good for getting in some play time when all the main servers are empty. but yes...it needs some new maps. YOY! haa haa
-

Have you thought about what would happen if they did?, Have you wondered where the noobs will go one Speed server is offline?, You all should thank OTB for keeping the Newbies chasing the carrot which is quick respawns. Meanwhile Other servers can consist of decent players...
-
I think that the OTB admins should firstly up the respawn times just a bit, to say 15 seconds, and add new maps like TLC and Eclissi. That way the noobz have some variety.
-
I like the "yes, 2 more maps" option. Nontheless it's no 'Speed' server when your pinging 11000 :(

They'll go where they were before OTB started running their 2 map "High Speed" servers which really are only good to the Germans and the surrounding population. They really offer nothing to the normal gameplay that has been enjoyed for 8 plus years by the DP community.
Please don't take that as a mean statement but 2 maps with such a short elim time?? It might be cool to run a couple of servers with a short elim time but 2 maps?? Sorry, but there must be some extrememly bored people in your area.
They can return to the longest running, stable, Paintball2 "HIGH SPEED" American GRaFFiTi PainT servers where there are 2+ 500 or so maps available to the DP public with a 20 map rotation I think.
Also, if I get enough requests I will be more than happy to set up a couple of low elim time servers.
Sadly, you guys from that neck of the woods don't ping so well on American servers just like Americans don't ping worth a hoot on your servers.

Please don't. :)

Rotflmao!!! You mean I shouldn't run a 5 sec elim, 2 map, American JUMP server? <eg> j/k
-
I actually ping 100 on Ch1ll servers, and im from London. Some people from America dont ping that well on ch1ll, then again USA is a big ass place.
-
I think the US is the best place to be. You ping OK on both Euro and US servers, and when you host one (i don't have a bundle of twigs cable connection) both US and Euro player ping well. I think one of us UK guys should host a US vs Euro match server. I'll have one when i finish doing my request scripting.
-
Oh yes i just remembered! GET RID OF F**KING UB_CLIFFS, NOOB @SS MAP! ALWAYS BEING PLAYED ON EURO SERVERS! ARGGHHHHHH I NEED A FART.
-
I think the poll says it all. There should be new maps and many of them.
What about the most recent ones like: razzle dazzle, eclissi, and others...
-
I agree with Playah. There has continuesly been a steady increase in map making these last few months. And I think these maps deserved to be played, otherwise people will only get to play a few different maps, and won't get the full experience of the game. Ub-cliffs is a good map, but a little out dated. However it is fine to keep that on your server, considering it seems to be OTB's favortie map, but it would also be beneficial to incorporate other newer maps into your server.
Also maybe add some jump maps. :)
-
mixing jump maps in with shooting maps doesnt usually doesnt work.
-
I think it is good to mix, that way people get the whole experience of the game. But I also agree that there should be servers designated to just Jumps maps and other designated to just shooting maps.
Also, if I get enough requests I will be more than happy to set up a couple of low elim time servers.
Please don't. :)
Lol. I <3 Jitspoe.
-
What about the most recent ones like: razzle dazzle, eclissi, and others...
I agree with all of those maps, they all are really good maps and I think other people will enjoy them. Also look for ViciouZ's new map, it looks really good, I personally can't wait for it.
-
use the modify button.
having jump maps mixed in with regular maps makes the maps, from what i have seen i may be wrong, but it makes the jump maps have the settings where you can kill other players and its not the same settings like in the jump servers.
-
People goto otb servers to usually play PB not jump around tbh...But yes OTB speed server is in need of some serious updating...Ub_Cliff is getting rediculous. I almost feel embaressed to be a european with all these Nice Euro servers that for strange reason have a fetish for cliffs.
-
New test-rotation is online:
eclissi
crates2
anubis_b6
blitz4
ub_cliff
pbcup_renoir
razzle
darkages
shazam33
dome_b1
tlc
ub_cliff
2x ub_cliff, because the newbies like it ;D
-
Spawnage on Shaz33 =]
-
x-D omg terror ^^
pbcup_renoir ftw ^^
-
If you want a map for noobs to play as well as experienced players, I would say put good old pbcup on the rotation.
-
pbcup is too small and not enough guns for a server like this
-
U really want to play pbcup with max. 16vs16 ??? ;D
-
No way, Although if some one could take the time to make a modified Propaint to accomodate these people and have some sort of control for spawning....Now that would be sweet.
*Cough Clipz Cough*
-
jitspoe made a pbcup2 i think...i dont know if he ever finished it
-
It isn't finished yet.
-
I say u put on antioch instead of kingdom it isnt much different but when i was a noob i loved the tunnels lol ;D also maybe stick in ub_rooftop its a great map for noobs and others to. By the way i am at ure server alot its sweet now that it has more maps.Mybe put in brainstorm its great nice and big with challenging to get to hiding spots for experienced players and easy for noobs.
-
You are right on about Antioch... Kingdom should be deleted! IMHO ub_rooftop is a "great map" period! BS is great for loaded servers.
-
Kingdom is on the server, but not in the rotation. I didn't saw it, since the new maps are up.

Haha you want me to make it so it supports 16 players on each team?

Forgot that you were running the 32 person server.
