Hey well hope you enjoy my server when it comes up which may last a fair while (I'm having technical difficulties). I'm debating what to call my server you can post suggestions and if you voted other explain what you would like to see here. ;D
-
A low respawn server (15- elim) with many maps.
that is a nice average speedy game, i hope your server is the spot to go, and hope to see it in the list, good luck.
-
I would prefer a server similar to OTB. A 30 second respawn and a decent rotation.
We already have too many servers with low respawns. Having a low respawn makes a great game for spawn campers.
A long respawn time just takes forever.
Soccer servers are just plain worthless.
If you want jumps then go play the Quake2 Jump Mod or on namebrand's jump server.
-
High respawn server with quality (multi-path) maps.
-
i like how its called high respawn, it should just be regular respawn
and thats what i voted for, ahve a couple good nice maps mixed in with some smaller quicker maps and maybe a couple maps that are not played very much but are still decent
-
I agree with both nightryder and jitspoe except that 60 seconds is a long time to wait. That is why a lot of times I will play on an OTB server because I like the 30 second respawn.
-
dont die, dont wait...its simple
-
45 second respawn ftw ([QeHs Server]) :)
-
SHort respawn times are useless unless you spawn with guns.

SHort respawn times are useless unless you spawn with guns.
Even then short respawns are worthless. Take ub_cliff on the OTB Speed Server for instance, if you are able to get to the other teams base people just sit on one side and spray right where people spawn.

First of all, it's not a "high respawn" server. It's a normal server with normal respawn, lmao.
High respawn with good maps.
-
blitz 24/7, 2 sec elimination time.

Lots of people probably think this skater so for you and anyone else please don't criticsise my naming I put the elim time for a reason.
-

Talk about a never ending game.

I believe that 70% of this community will play on such a server for at least 4h a day.
-
Lol bit :P
i think, a low respawn (20 sec's), Good quality maps. Somthing that either is hard to spawn camp, or a large map with 2 paths.
Orr, medium respawn (45 sec) Medium sized map, two paths, and doesnt spawn with auto's -.-
-
high respawn. please. i cant even pub because of all of these noob servers with 5 second respawn.

Three comments apocolypse:
1. Low elim time has been WAY over used by [OTB] Speed server, so has ub_cliff, that map used to be everyone's favourite (and I don't want a bunch of people telling me it isn't and wasn't their favourite, I was exagerating).
2. Since Alongar's closed, there are hardly ever jump maps up any more! I havn't played one in forver !
3. (And this one is for everyoe who voted) How could you all vote for high elim time !!! There are way too many Grafiti servers like that, plus others too !!! As for the people who voted for jump server : GOOD FOR YOU !!!
P.S. : There's a reason no one voted for low elim time, few maps : [OTB] Speed way over used it !!!

Sounds like you're playing the wrong mod (http://dplogin.com/forums/index.php?topic=5286.0).

I like low elim servers for when I want to play for a few minutes and constantly play - no waiting - maximum use of my time in-game.

DP is not a Jump Mod - go play Jump Quake ( or whatever it's called)

How could we vote for 60 second elim time? Because that is how this mod was designed to be played.

From Knack:

I thoguht it was just called Quake 2 Jump Mod.
For pubs I think that around 30 seconds is good becuase then you dont have to wait forever to respawn.
But for matches I totally agree that is should be 60 seconds.
-
I totaly agree knack, about low elim time being good, but only a very small selection of maps are actualy any good in low elim time, and of those few, barley any are commonly played or on servers' map rotations.
I think if I had to pick one elim time for all maps, it would be between 15 and 20, mabey 25 (but I doubt it).
Also, I don't want people to vote for 60 second elim time !!! I hate that, and I know lots of other people who do to. But we haven't had a jump server in a long time since Alonjar's closed, and jump maps are very rare on other servers, so do a jump server apocolypse !!!
-
15-25 seconds IS low elim time, so you're kind of contradicting yourself with that post.
I think more maps need jails to keep the easily eliminated entertained for a minute.
-
Soldier as Knack said (it was Knack write not knoc I always getem mixed up oh well) digital paint is not a jump mod I am not against jumps I like to play em everynow and then. I personally think 30 seconds but hey there is no point in having a server up if no one wants to ever go to it trust me it aint fun playing with just bots.
-
60 sec elim with good multi-path maps (no airtime or excrement like that) with no guntemp.
-
There should be a voting tool for time elim.
-
Joe, you have a point, but I still don't totaly agree with that, because 60 is sooooo boring, even if there is a jail.
Jitspoe, in my opinion, 15-25 is not low, its is medium low, low is like 5-10.
Finaly, loial21, a voting tool for elim time would make a server unconstant as far as elim time, which is bad, as I'm sure almost all of us will agree.
-
having a player be able to select when he respawns once the elim time is up might make a lot of people happy - especially people that hate spawn campers.
-
Lol, ya but you can't have people spawning at random times, or it would suckit's spelt KnacK , but it was a good idea, might be good if it was optional to the admin though.
-
Umm it already is soldier its called op passes. LOL :)
-
the only problem with this is that on maps where the spawns are close to the flag, people will just wait for some one to come grab the flag and then spawn and kill the person grabbing.
the opposite of killing spawns...
-
it's spelt KnacK
HAHAHA!!
On topic:
having a player be able to select when he responds once the elim time is up might make a lot of people happy - especially people that hate spawn campers.
That would be a neat idea. I like it.
-
Funny Zorchenhimer, really funny.... -_-
Second Apoc, I meant that if people could vote for elim time like KnacK said, it would have to be controlable by the administrator.
Also, I have a good idea, the administrator should be able to set a pole-like option in their server, where people can vote for the elim time, maps and map rotations, possibly expert mode, though mabey not, and other game related things. The admin could then review the reuslts and make decision based on them if they wanted. Basicaly it would be to get the opinions of the people in the server, but wouldn't affect the game at all, unless the admin made changes.
