Just A Suggestion To The Server Owners

homerx · August 2003

<div class="IPBDescription">Please read. No flames please.</div> I've been wanting to post this 2 days ago but oh well....

I think that the new NS 2.0 maps are great.

BUT, I believe that they are slowing down, or perhaps hindering the players from learning NS 2.0.

Given the changes of NS 2.0 and the new maps, it really does make the game a little harder to learn, understand, and judge.

I propose that the server owners play the original NS 1.0x maps for the first week of the NS 2.0 release, to give everyone the time to learn the changes.

If you do not agree with my statement, please explain why in a constructive manner.

I'm not a server owner, but a player (and if this was targeted specifically at servers ops, it should have been in the appropriate forum). I want to try out all the new aspects of NS 2.0. That includes the cool new maps. I find that learning a map layout is something that can be trained as well. While it took me weeks to learn the map layouts in 1.x, I'm already quite familiar with the layout of some of the new maps. I don't think this is a good idea. You learn the layout better by playing than by just running around in an empty LAN game too, as you learn where vital strategic points are and where the fight's usually at. If anything, throw out the old maps for a while and give us more experience with the new ones. I don't like this, but if you've gotta temporarily remove some maps, take the old ones.

We got to learn the maps sooner or later, and sooner is just fine with me

when anyone plays new maps it's part of new learning, also with v2 you have a map to look at (c button on keybard default) so not knowin the maps are not a problem now <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'> so nerr...hehe

wish i didn't play ns from day one and came to v2 <img src='http://www.unknownworlds.com/forums/html/emoticons/tounge.gif' border='0' style='vertical-align:middle' alt='tounge.gif'>

MilkyP,

Point taken.

But you can't deny that it does slow down the "learning phase" of NS 2.0.

Might as well start getting to know the new maps along with learning 2.0. Your suggestion, I think, would slow down the whole process because it would split it up too much.

Ahhh, no... that's not a very... good... idea.

New NS, new maps... live with it.

You'll learn them quick enough!

New changes + new maps = harder to learn

New changes THEN + new maps later = new changes learned real quick, then maps learned after.

A problem with using the old maps is all the stuck issues...

Not really since every old map has been changed/redone in some way.

Your proposal is great but not everyone agrees with you; if servers won't go to a new map just because they have some newbies on thats going to really anger some people.

I rather try to learn both maps and gameplay at the same time at the "first week learning period". If you want to play with just old maps, join servers which are running old maps and change servers if they are switching to new one.
