Community Vote: The great map voting debate 2014!

[Cryptic_Gamer]

I do like that this thread was made but in my opinion the /poll should of decided this long ago...

In my opinion, I think that the raffle voting system was one of the best ideas ever introduced into the mcsg servers. Sometimes I get tired of the same maps and would like to play a less popular map like SG Japan (great map, looks great, feels great) or Rugged Lands (for lols). Gameplay is much more fun, not everyone gets stacked and a player is forced to focus on the game and not on the chest route. Flint and Steel, fishing rod, and bow become much more important and its not all about the diamonds and iron armor. For those less experienced player i recommend watching some popular youtube players and some pvp tips and tricks videos to get better (the how i got a lot better fast). Back to the voting system, with the old system SG4 won soo much at one point I came to hate the map, even though it is a really well made map, great battle field and easy feel to the arena. With the raffle voting system I came to like the more popular maps again because they were not winning every time. I got the be challenged and play a variety of maps. I highly encourage that the raffle voting system would stay.

Something we thought about doing for clan battles is make specific servers that have the old system of voting for that very reason. An idea we can provide maybe in the future.

Actually. One, I do like the new voting system and it is rude of some people screaming remove it to the build teams. Secondly, kind of irrelevant however, I wanted to purpose and Idea for clan battles . Making a whole new hub for clan battle servers. Making public servers less hectic. Just an idea.

You must remember that there's clans in every region. Some regions will be able to support an additional hub, but some of them will not. I think that would be unfair for the less populated regions to see that the larger regions get a clan battle hub and they don't. Having direct connect servers for clan battles is a much better option. It's more scalable (you can add/remove servers based on demand) and it's much more affordable.

If you'd like to debate this further, we'd best create another thread so we don't derail this one. :]

I would like it removed due to the damage it's dealt to clans mostly alongside other good players. Say there are 42 votes for valleyside university and 3 for treacherous heights. Treacherous wins *proceeds to smash face into computer.* I can't tell you how many times this has happened and what a burden it is. Bad players who suck at every map don't care because it makes no difference because they suck. That's the majority of the supporters. Wonder why so many people hated on it in the poll? Because 99% of people who know how to work the forums are good players, most of which in clans. Honestly, I dislike the current system and strongly suggest going back to the old one.

That isn't relevant just because a player isn't as good as another doesn't matter on the maps, I agree it is a pain when a map with insignificant votes wins, but in the end we all started new there is no reason to call people out on that.

Thank you for referring to me as a bad and sucky player. You judging the entire group of the supporters is a bad way of rounding up your arguments.

Maybe I was a bit insensitive and didn't include all of the facts. I don't think you personally are sucky. I'm just saying that the average gud player prefers valleyside to SG3. It's all about the person but I am generalizing since it's reasonable based on the scenario.

The average person that likes Valleyside likes Valleyside more then SG3. Liking a map has nothing to do with skill.

There is a direct correlation. If you ask everyone in rebels, forgotten, and trivium 95% say valleyside I can bet on it.

You must not forget, not everybody plays for clans.. people play to enjoy there experience and have fun with friends.. MCSG cannot base there decision on clans just because their the only players on forums.

It should be removed because of these reasons. 1: If 30 people want to play sg4 and one person votes for Fallen Empire, and Fallen Empire wins it is really annoying and most players leave anyways.. I think that if the majority of the people want one map to win, it should win no matter what, picture this 30 people choose wether to go to a restaurant or eat at home, 29 pick to eat at a restaurant and 1 picks to eat at home, next thing you know you stay to eat at home. Reason 2: It is annoying for some of us donors (I have donor on DroidLX my alt) that paid for the perks, including (and of course to help the server) getting extra votes. Sometimes the extra votes us donors get do not matter because another map with 1 vote wins. Reason 3: I am in a clan, and when my clan scrims and clan battle other clans there is a map we vote to scrim\clan battle on but even if one person votes for another map and it has a 1.34 percent chance of winning it somehow wins, and that means we need to find another server. I understand that some people do like this voting system but in my opinion there is way more reasons of why to remove it than keep it. MCSG was perfect before the new voting system.(Except for the hackers, besides that mcsg was a great place, no lag, no new voting system, and no ncp lag back.) (Btw thx for fixing the ncp.)
