I love what's happening with DR and the weekly updates. But TTT has has problems and potential for improvement for months(possibly even years?) Myself and countless others have suggested wonderful maps,guns,models alongside tweaking current map rotations (boo CS maps) and it would be very refreshing to have weekly content. I understand this is a quite a lot to ask with testing, but MOST suggestions have been tested somewhat by the suggester (See mine and @Rek 's videos on maps). I'm willing to take much more time to go and test every major suggestion and make videos for them, if there is the promise of weekly content.
I think that a lot of effort is put into testing some suggestions (especially yours) and I wouldn't mind seeing TTT staying fresh for staff members and regulars with the addition of new weekly content. +1
But cs maps are the best. My favorites are office,Assault, and Italy. Those maps brings back so much memories to me.
They play awfully for TTT, if you want to play those maps, play CS, that isn't the subject of this suggestion. Regardless I took the liberty of mocking up a short changelist for the first week to give an idea. Replaced Rooftops with Rooftops_2016 Added Yennefer and Triss to VIP+ Models Added Cirila to Elite Models Replaced Jondome with Misty Swamp Added "What are Those" to VIP Jihad Sounds. That would be a very healthy week of suggestions. I would not expect as much every week, just one two things.
I think the reason that there is weekly content for DR is because it is newer, and not as stable and open as TTT. I mean, they want DR to get to where TTT is, so they add content for it as fast as they can to promote gameplay. Also, there is a lot of demand for certain things, but I feel like this would possibly be hard to get to the point where there is consistent change week to week. I know that I'm not being very explanatory, and if people want, I'll go very much more in-depth. I'll +1 this since I want it, but I doubt it will happen, or be practical.
DR needed content because it launched with nothing. There is always ways to modify the server each week, theres always the option of rotating maps in and out. Even having a variety of playmodels is not a bad thing. There's been barley anything new for months, leading to staleness, this counters that. Variety is the spice of life.
This coming from the person who wrote On a thread that was trying to promote variety is hardly able to be taken seriously.
This point is redundant because just because i want variety, it doesn't mean i want 7 flavors of shit. Most of those have reasons for not wanting. This isn't a suggestion to spam the servers with low quality content. Just increase the amount of high quality content being added.
You expect high quality content to be added weekly then? I don't think I fully agree with your statements of "Is probably a bad map" when there are chicken maps that are being used on the server in the first place.
Yes, and it's easily possible. I see suggestions of high enough quality every week. There is a chicken map being used on the server and it's just ok. I have tested all his maps when we were previously looking for them and none were adequate. I really don't see what your point is in all this?
To state that your opinion of adequate doesn't mean it won't work for the needs of a new map on Vanilla. Also, my point is that there is far more reasons for why this won't be implemented than there are for reasons why there will. That's my point.
Well it does, because when i was more active in game i tested maps with Highwon every time he was adding them, so i know what we look for in map quality. And you gave one reason that it would be hard to have change every week. Which i disproved. So really, your posts were for nothing.
Weekly content in the manner that is being provided for DR servers would be impractical when there is a mass quantity of content being provided due to DR's new presence. I had also originally stated that there is more reasoning. I'll continue this after classes so give me a little.
"Mass Quantity", they're adding about 3 maps a week. Compare that to TTT's 3 maps a year. Plus TTT has multiple ways in which content can be added, increasing variety and avoiding problems.
Okay fellas, this back and forth is going nowhere. Let's keep it on the topic of a change log and less on the topic of bitching at each other.
ANYWAYSSSSS^ Yeah I completely agree Carned. I would make an entirely long, and most likely sassy, post on how it would benefit the server and server income, etc. However, I'll keep it short in saying that this will really refresh the gameplay for those who got tired of it forever ago(like a multitude of us staff). It would also increase staff hours possibly... Overall, I understand the concept that it would be hard to implement all of this weekly or so because of testing + such. However, with people like Carned and even myself who are MORE than willing to help out with testing, with making a criteria list, with pretty much anything it takes to get these updates rolling, it shouldn't take more than an hour or two out of a lead's or @Highwon 's weeks.
After re-reading the posts available, I agree that it is was unproductive to cite a separate thread. I apologize @Carned. X.x
It's already a task to get weekly DR updates happening, so having both go at the same time would be tiring. However, I've found a few cool things for TTT along the way, and we plan on testing some of the goodies out when we get a roundtable going again. First step, however, is replacing the broken Vanilla maps, such as Jondome and Frozen. Next would be map updates to newer versions, then more models(?) and the SGM Halloween 2015 event. We've got a lot in the works!
