Can we please have this?

I would love a single 6-10 man server setup on TDM 24/7 a basic aim map…

The reason for this is that trying to fill a server right now that is 1/12 is a pain because having to go forward and back from spawns just to get some fun kills and stuff is breaking me…

just a really simple aim map like…

It would allow newer players to get used to how the shooting works in the game and allow us to hopefully fill up more servers… Maybe even build in a very basic messaging system to point people towards SW.

Would love instant respawn on it also :slight_smile:

Think it would increase overall people playing as well if you limit it to one single server. maybe when it reaches 10 people in the server it goes over to SW automatically. kinda like a more effective warmup.

anyway…

Let the “no” and “stupid idea” posts commence!

we have execution and tdm already. not sure if they’re on the server list currently though because of the stress testing going on.

yea I know that mate, I just mean a mini “aim” map along side this focus testing as I believe it will increase overall people playing it because doing that on 1v1 or 2v2 is more fun then sitting in a server and waiting. :slight_smile:

but no it isnt. you’ll have people populating a lame frag server instead. this game stands out because its obj based, not bait, and frag.

well we had once a duel server, actually map was not too bad, dont know what happened to the idea though

1v1 servers.
and tdm smallmap server with callvote teamsize.
24/7.

yes plz.

instead of not populating any at all you mean???

riiight…
oo… and if people are populating the “lame frag server” does that not point out a major flaw if people choose that over the obj modes?

if anything what it would bring is better analytics’s for all the weapons and get people to stay for more then 2 - 3 min instead of jumping on a 1 vs 2 objective mode and leaving again. its why I am just saying the one?

I have had my beta/alpha key for a long time now… likely around 12 months… I have only just started playing this week cause every other time I jumped on the game it was 1vs2 or 2vs3 if I was lucky… I just so happened to try it out the other week on the first load test and look I am here now and have been for every day since. I know that if I could jump on and at least shoot something I was and am more likely to continue playing then sitting around in empty servers for hours (literally I have been sat in some servers for upwards of 2 hours waiting for people) with one person joining then leaving maybe 2 or even 3 and getting it up to a 2v2 before they leave. Obviously if you are not trying to populate servers yourself you will not understand how bloody boring it is.

One thing I notice almost every single night is 1 full server (EU) and 1 full server (US) and no one on any of the other servers…
Then what happens??? You spend 10 - 15 min constantly refreshing to get onto one of them full servers… people do not start up a second server the vast majority of time. This would at least allow a server to build up to 4 - 5 players that are waiting for an objective server.

i totally agree. i sometimes want to shoot with my friends. make some warm-up. or just try some things weapon-wise. tdm smalmap or 1v1 is best for such things.

Shameless bump.

This wouldn’t even be a big deal…

I have been sat here now for around 7 hours watching TV, doing some work and other random stuff… Checking the instances page every 20 min looking to get into a game… I just feel having something like this would allow more people to actually start being a little more active in the game by being able to sit in there for 10 - 15 min and being able to have fun when only a couple of people are playing.

Also due to lack of map influence and merc selection influence it would likely give the cleanest data on weapon balancing at a time when they are getting no data at all >.<
