Seeing as how General Discussion won't let me post a poll there, I'll try it here. After seeing @Scarwolf 's post in the Deathrun discussion board, I got curious about what the community's take is on the matter. Is Deathrun worth trying to revive or do we cut our losses? I personally suggest we change it to a solo-player type server such as Bhop or Surf. Deathrun, like TTT, is really only fun with multiple other people. In Deathrun's case, the more the better. Unfortunately this means that a dead server is a self-fulfilling prophecy. Nobody wants to join a dead server. TTT is the same way, but you can at least play a game with 4-5 people that's worth playing. Deathrun gets revived to 4 people and then dies off again within two maps. In a mode like Bhop, most players don't care how populated the server is. They're trying to beat the clock, and so it incentivizes long or spontaneous playsessions even when alone or without a highly populated server. I do like the game-mode, and I'm more just curious about what the community thinks. This isn't me wholeheartedly asking for a Bhop or Surf server, while I would definitely frequent those more. I just wanted to make a poll to get your guys's opinions.
One thing wrong with this. Deathrun doesn't cost any money to run, as it is connected to a modded server. Honestly it just needs more updates and it would probably get more people.
I have fun on deathrun when I'm playing with friends, but as you said, it's never populated. I tried surfing once, and it wasn't really my thing. Bhop sounds fun.
The server isn't a waste of money as its ran from East. We don't pay anything additional to run the server. That being said it could be argued that changing the server could be more beneficial overall and attract a larger playerbase & bring in more money. Personally I'd love to have a bhop server with various styles and what not or even a significant amount of changes to the current deathrun gamemode (Of which there is a list of suggestions). It's not that simple though, it's up to Highwon to make such changes to the server , or its up to him to find a developer who would he can trust to do similar.
@Pokeben10 bc u deleted ur comment, I think I went off on this thread about what should be updated. https://www.seriousgmod.com/threads/make-deathrun-great-again.55298/
Hey, so thinking about this these past days and honestly i'd really like to at least see a bhop/surf combination if possible tried out. Dr like you pointed out is prone to dying fast, unlike surf or bhop. And in deathrun most of the fun, at least for me, is doing those two things, bhop mainly ofc. I like both bhop and surf so i'd love to see both, though maybe if not possible hop is probably more engaging anyway.
From my perspective I’d like to see Bhop take over DR, since people mostly free run and only go for records, so if you implement records with bhop and you can reset records every month so people can have a chance before all the real tryhards come and steal the records.
Server doesn't waste money Everything is NOT fine with dr Gmod surf sucks Gmod bhop is oversaturated imo Leaves replace with something else or overhaul.
Shhs gmod Surf is amazing, you’re just a nerd. But honestly I’d love what @Scarwolf said with maybe a bhop and Surf server combo that’d be fun.
the gmod surf maps are a buggy mess with several invisible walls - so much so that they are unplayable and frustrating. also, a bhop/surf combo might not do so well. personally i play both bhop and surf a lot, but if i was on a server, felt like doing a bhop map, then majority of people - or just 2 people with a donator rank - voted for a surf map? i wouldn't enjoy that.
