dust/d2 8(

[c^.^c HelmetFACE]

hi, im sure this has been brought up before but will you guys ever bring back a server with dust/dust2 on it or even just dust2. was the main reason i started playing here and, well, even tho militia is cool and all it is pretty unbalanced and gets kinda boring after awhile. if it were me id just have d2 24/7, anyways just wondering if it will ever be like it was before.

[Hi BOb]

we need to get a new server I was talking with host and he was looking into it. If you guys can donate 600 bucks he'll be more then happy to open 4 diffrent servers.. so ya its all about the moneys

[Homizide]

I want my dust2 back, malitia laggs to much and its not fun anymores.

[jellydoughnut217]

honestly ive played so much dust and dust2 i would rather never play them again. Militia is a good map, and its actualy pretty balanced. Host and Rodent are working on fixing the map vote thats supposed to come up at the end of every map cycle. once thats fixed players can vote on what they want to do. Majority will rule.

[Hi BOb]

this is way we need like 4 diffrent servers. I hate dust maps and militia is the only worth while one out there to me. but thats just me! SO GIVE HOST 600 BUCKS

[jellydoughnut217]

i dont think 2 server are needed. Especialy if you going to have 2 24/7 servers. I actualy know a css clan that started off with one server that was full 24/7 and they opened another server, but as soon as they had 2 servers no one was playing in either of them. Just something to be cautious about

[Homizide]

how about a port/dust rotation, or port malitia.

[jellydoughnut217]

i say that if anything is to be done with the server one of two things should be done.
1. Pick maybe 3 or 4 maps to be in base rotation, but then bring up a map vote at the end of every round with all the other maps to be voted on. If no map wins the majority then the base map rotation continues

2. When new maps are released it seems people constantly want to play the new maps, therefor the newest 3 or 4 maps will be in rotation, but with no map vote. For example now it would be Militia, Nuke, Port, and Inferno.

but in my opinion unless one of these two options is done, the server should be left alone with militia as the main map and map vote at the end.

[Homizide]

I asked the players, they said it lags to much and they h8 it. ohh for the love of god not infierno.

[jellydoughnut217]

lag is not from the map its from the server

24 players in the server do not represent the majority

if they really hated it i doubt they would be playing in it

[Homizide]

they stuck it out for a while, and I didnt know we had bots when did this start?
Ohh and it partially does have to do with the map, since its trying to get more detailed info out to the players it slows down, like the fish in the river it would be constantly telling where they are, and where the players are. While with a map like port it would just say where the players are.

[Hi BOb]

those sure are nice fish in the river tho

[jellydoughnut217]

yes but details in the map can cause lag if your settings are too high for your computer to handle, but the big lag spikes where everything stops for a split second are not caused by the map. If you will remember it happened just the same on dust and dust2. The bots, when there are bots, are they just to get the server going in slow times of the day. For example the early mornings and such. As soon as players come to the server the bots leave.

[Homizide]

Which is exactly my point our server never used to have a slow day, a slow day for me is 15 people on the server. Yes you can turn the detail down, but then whats the point of playing a beautiful map?

[Hi BOb]

get a new computer..

[Homizide]

im not talking about me. I have 2gb of ram 7800gtx, and dualcore procesor.

[Hi BOb]

Well as far as i can tell, durring prime hours the server is full, im at school durring the day so i wouldnt know about that timeframe, but i imagine most people who play this game are at school durring those hours as well. Until there is a definite drop in player #'s durring prime hours its safe to say the server is doing great. If you turn down the settings on militia it still looks better than any of the other CSS maps.

[Homizide]

the time was 4:10.........

[Sea Bass]

i would love PD servers to go back to 24/7 dust/dust2, i miss it, i remember playing at 2-3am on dust servers full of people, but at that time on militia its nothing but bots, kinda sad really:(

hopfully we can maybe get a map rotation, or maybe some type of vote system every say 30-40min.


also, i know the PDgaming server rank was high with 24/7dust, im kinda curious what it is now with 24/7 militia?

[jellydoughnut217]

the time was 4:10.........

by the time im done with school and HW its about 4:00, its 4:20 now and the server is full

[Homizide]

damn your fast im not done until like 7:30 (all honors classes)
