Hey SCG, Rowdy here with some things to post out. I've been watching and listening to people as of late and I've compiled some problems that I've seen the community be going through lately and I've written out some ideas to fix them. I want this on the forum mainly because I want input back in regards to what you all think. We should all be on the main page before I do something drastic and change all the servers to cp teletubby land. [size=14pt]As mentioned before, it's harder to have chill nights because the amount of people coming on with a serious attitude.[/size] Also as mentioned, I don't want to just start banning people who at the heart of it are just bothered that they can't play a serious game. Chocolate has been the mix of that for a while. You have one group of people who care about winning and are bothered at the amount of people that don't care and are just running around. So we have Vanilla, which just needs to have regulars on it so it can thrive. I've tried again and again to make vanilla weapons work and they just won't. So we'll have to keep it everything, but it shouldn't be a problem when everyone is working together. Everyone weapon DOES have it's place, if anything the new weapons make the game interesting. I for one would rather keep it vanilla but like I said, I can't. [hr] [size=14pt]A lot of the group posts and announcements go unnoticed by many of the users and thus, the community seems quieter than it actually is.[/size] While still posting updates on the Group page, we do post major ones on our twitter account, Furaffinity, Facebook, etc. But I'm also working on a news reader that can be opened in server. So when you die, round startup, what have you, you can take a look and read up on the latest messages. [hr] [size=14pt]The map selection is somewhat stale, and whenever we try and play something new, it gets shot down right away by people that haven't played it before and thus, it never gets a chance to be played.[/size] I think what I'd do for this is just post map test announcements earlier, and have the download link up as soon as possible, that way everyone can have some time to play around with it before we throw it in rotation, the new MOTD pages also have links to the maps, and of course, I'm still working on the current map pages. [hr] [size=14pt]Servers crashing , lagging.[/size] As of 4/23/2012 , we've appeared to fix lag. As far as server crashes go, there are several possible causes why they happen but one of them is "it just happens." Either the server gets a little too hot, or something fucks up somewhere and there it goes. [hr] That's all I can think of for now, but please, share some input! Any problems that are going on can be fixed and all it takes is some community input in getting things in order! P.S. I've asked this before but since people are here, on slow days like mornings on weekends and such. I'm thinking we do training for new players, would help the serious players have a way to went off their experience in a way that doesn't end in being dicks to each other.
