64 Slot server opinions Options

[MonkeyFiend]

Just thought I'd make a topic for people to post their opinions with the server being chagned to 64 slots (for testing) - the clan will have a vote (clan members only) on which setting to keep, but thought it might be useful for non clan members and regulars to post their opinions.

After a few games last night... my first impression is that if you thought the nadespam was bad with 32, you don't want to try 64

Going slightly off-topic to reply to Tousty:

The rules regarding manual switching of players have been there since August 2007. We do switch players to either balance the game (if the numbers are equal, but one team is much better than the other) or if requested to put clan members on the same team (Providing the game is still balanced)

Usually switching for balance occurs when there are less players on the server, as a couple of good players stacked on one team has a greater impact.(unbalanced games tend to kill the servers, as members of the losing team often leave)

The game were you were kicked was unbalanced, so Foxx asked someone to switch; Nobody did, so she made a manual switch herself.

Trying to switch yourself back repeatedly when the teams are still uneven is basically interfering with an admin trying to keep the server fair and balanced.
The alternative would be just to prevent players from switching themselves - which is not something that I'd particularily want as most players don't try to abuse this facility.

Moreso I found the comments directed at foxx both in game and now in the forum irksome e.g. the 'foxx making up her own rules' comment - as I can't see any reason for this false comment unless you are actually trying to provoke?
