Just remove 8v8 servers?

(SereneFlight) #1

Well, SD ruined it with the ridiculous respawn times so might as well remove them, right? (because going back for old respawn times ain’t happening because SD and their competitive porn stash)
I mean… what would you expect for 8v8? The only thing I expect is mayhem… which is something some people haven’t liked but there’s 6v6 and ranked so those people can just fuck off then and I’m the sort of people who likes a good mayhem once in a while but ever since this chicken shit I haven’t been able to enjoy 8v8 servers at all.
Enemy didn’t kill me anywhere near fast as I thought they would? (which tends to happen quite often) … … now what… I guess I read the book I was supposed to read, watch a movie and maybe… just maybe there’s enough time to make a cup of tea.

I can get behind the idea of decreasing the respawn time the less players are on a team but … and let’s be honest, even decreased respawn time haven’t solved anything… and now there’s that one guy who goes “but this one time it helped”.

Idk… it might just me but long ass respawn times kinda defeats the point of good old mayhem.

Also just remove molotov because it’s bugged as hell and bring it back when it works properly
…I should probably make Warchest account…

Leave my 8v8 servers alone.

8v8 on a map designed for 5v5 and mercs balanced for 5v5 will always be a clusterfuck. Increasing spawn wave interval only made them slightly more boring clusterfucks. Before that I often jumped into 8v8 servers fully aware of what is happening on them. It was a feature to me. Now 8v8 lost quite a bit of its uniqueness and I join them only if there’s no smaller servers free.

I don’t know why 7v7 even exists - for when you want at the same time both mayhem and play the game how it was supposed to? Nah, get rid of them completely in favor of 6v6.

Honestly I would change the free-for-all OBJ server allocation to something like this:
65% 6v6 FF off
15% 6v6 FF on
15% 8v8 FF off (with old spawn wave length)
5% 8v8 FF on for the maximum mayhem (with old spawn wave length)

Min lvl 10 - more servers with FF on.
Max lvl 5 - all 6v6 FF off

Maybe some people like the clusterfuck that an 8v8 server brings. I certainly do from time to time.

If you are upset about the longer spawn times then start training yourself to look at the timer and try and be smarter about the timing of running into combat, and take advantage of the suicide button if you are close to death with 1 second on the timer.

Mind you, this doesnt help with the surprise proxy one shotting your face off with a shotgun around a corner.

the issue with spawn time was about map balance. some objectives were just impossible to do with fast respawn times, like trainyard and chapel delivery objectives which usually require clearing out the entire defense team.

its still insane mayhem, im not sure why you think its slow, just dont get fullspawned ; )

It’s been said before bit playing 8v8 on maps designed for 5v5 feels disgusting. Try 6v6 OP

To me, 8v8 is just something I like to hop on for a while because I feel like being in the middle of chaos.

I personally hate 8v8 with a passion. I filter it out. It’s just too much cluster for the current maps. I don’t really think they need to remove it but some maps specifically designed for 8v8 in mind would be nice. Dome is big but it doesn’t make it 8v8 compatible. The two choke points are both tiny little hall ways on both the first and last objective. Something a little more open would be nice.
