View Full Version : new 1.51 server?
with the patch coming, we'll have new maps and Northern Strike for all.
new maps : molokai (titan), operation blue pearl and karkand (assault lines), yellow knife (NS assault lines).
NS maps unlocked for all : port bavaria and remagen (assault lines and titan mode available), leipzig (assault lines only).
choose which server you wish to see on timeless, any suggestions or different ideas welcome. we can finetune the server setups or add new ones as the thread grows.
i chose a NS assault lines server only with yellow knife added, and possibly blue pearl and karkand added to the cycle.
people will want to play NS for the unlocks and the new maps in general.
I was going to say put all the new maps in on constant rotation of 2 per round. However I realised that would be 8 maps, which is not realistic. Is it possible (I have never toyed with this feature) to have all maps 'available' to the server, but with ingame voting for the maps active? That way the players can have input on the server setup? :think:
But I'm just throwing ideas out there. Originally I was going to post that we should have all the maps above that are reasonably sized on infantry only. However the server play count would have to be full to enable this to be an effective setup.
We could go all new maps, however I think that people will be drawn to NS for there new unlocks (for those that don't already have them :D ).
Personally, I think that we should have all the new maps (1.51, not NS) on rotation:
1. Operation Blue Pearl
2. Molokai
3. Karkand
4. Yellow Knife
This way everyone gets a taste of the new maps and we can see which ones 'rise to the top' in terms of popularity, and alter the setup at a later date to correspond with demand.
Thoughts? :)

@ Dom - We tried a voting system on Timeless Titan a while back. The problem with turning voting on is it also turns the kick vote on. New maps never recieved enough votes to change them and the number of silly kick votes that resulted from it made it more of a problem than a help. Also I dont think you can have a titan map on the same server as assault lines.
I think we should have a titan server and an assault lines server (and if we get to borrow a server an NS server).
with 2 servers - Titan server running the NS maps and Molokai, assaut lines running the new maps including NS(with tampa).
If we get to borrow a server for a few weeks to see how it goes - titan server, NS server and the new assault maps on there own.

This sounds good. I didn't consider altering the Tampa server. This way, we can fit everying under the Timeless 'roof' :)

new maps.
karkand clap clap clap!! :)
We should rename this server and reset the player stats for it too (old camp G server)
I'll vote with most popular vote. :)
I'd like to try all maps at some point lol.. thats if i get off bc2 ;)
i voted for other cous if we change tampa then i say keep tampa but add the ns maps and if you mean camp gib wich we allready is 1.51 but not working yet then add all new ns map and for suez id say add all new titan maps :)

:clap: inf only :clap:
unless karkand gets more votes, we are heading towards a 1.51 maps only server. karkand as a starting map seems obvious.
we could try 1 round per map so the map rotation goes faster.
new maps only + suez titan?? :)
I voted for new maps only, but I kinda changed my mind :P
I would like to try the new non-titan maps with all (or some) NS maps. Maybe make it an AL server? If it's possible, I don't mind having a mixed server with some titan maps in there too, but I prefer CQ and AL.
I agree with Roz
just bear in mind that although a few of these maps are quite good some simply will not be popular
out of these maps I only see karkand as being persistently popular
so i would like to see a CQ/AL server myself

I think all the new maps should be given a chance to see which ones are more popular. Sometimes a map you think is crap when you first start playing it ends up being a favourite when you discover it's little secrets. I think a Tampa/new map rotation assault lines is a good idea. It would be a shame to drop Tampa when it usually has enough folks to get it going each night.
And definitely a Titan server. Titan game play is still unique in all the BF series and should be given a fair chance. I dare say it's what brought a lot of folks to Timeless in the first place. Maybe tweaking the in-game messages encouraging people to join Timelessgaming and give their input about maps might help the feeling of community and keep folks coming back.
I'll be happy to do what I can when I'm home to get maps filled or guys tell me how I can help to make it a success and I'll do it gladly! :)
it was just an idea :)
I'm open for everything! ;)

me too! :)
1.51 maps only it is, with only one round per map so everyone can try them quickly, maps in that order :
karkand
molokai
blue pearl
yellow knife
we could leave that server on for a week or two giving time for everyone to try out the new maps, then we can decide on something else for the long run so keep the suggestions coming.
good plan niii
faceman where's the server???

Ah ok...
I am evaluating these new maps!....:)
After looking at the maps and playing all of them, I suggest we turn Tampa into a 24/7 Kharkand. Tampa has been dead since the patch, so it'd be nice to change it to pick things back up again. :)
people will go back to Tampa when they get bored of the new maps
karkand is awful, each time i was playing in there the game was very choppy, i kept being auto scoped out when using the tank gun and was unable to use the vehicle external views. the lag was gone once the server changed map.
not all servers have moved to 1.51, many of the tampa regulars are probably still playing the old version. GQ is in the same situation sitting empty. we should give it some time.
Fair enough. By the by Niii, I found I had to change the GFX settings down on some parameters to improve the gameplay for the map.
