Forcing large rotation limits so that a few players don't get bored seems very risky on a very sparsely populated server.
Agreed,

but it's FOOTBALL, not Soccer, it's real football which is played by foot only. :lol:
SOCCER is for weenies…

I prefer baseball or boxing over either.

Last night was

ArcticJunkyard randomizer
Minus KitchenSink Randomizer
Dria Randomizer
Desert Junkyard Randomizer
Nevermore Pootylicious
HomeSweetHome
Valarna
ArcticJunkyard randomizer (again)

I went ahead and removed Omni server from my favorites :cry: It's been fun, at least when decent maps were voted. Our players forgot how to play without spawn killing with OP vehicles.

Sad to see.

Sadly, those maps keep the server numbers up, people love to play those. I've tried increasing the map rotation, it just makes the player count drop.

But hey at least Mass Destruction wasn't on that list.

Cap'n, did you not have a hand in creating some of those OP weapons?

I created
Pallas
Spanker
Bomber planes (4)
Mechs (6?)
Dark Railtank
Dark Leviathan
Portal saucer
trickboard

I've modded a few others to make them work, like the drop ship, but I wouldn't call them my creations.

I would say the mechs are OP, but the rest are regular vehicles. Pallas has been nerfed quite a bit. The spanker is powerful but no more so than a regular badger imo. The dark vehicles have low health. The portal saucer is best used making portals, not attacking.

They are all popular, so in that regard I think they are a success. It was not my intent that they are always voted for. We have over a hundred maps on the server. Only a handful have my vehicles on them, yet those are always voted (randomizers). I always vote for maps with a few, regular vehicles. Classic ONS. They never win though.

Admins should force at least one map per night that isn't on heavy rotation.

Yeah, but that’s expecting players to go from driving a Lamborghini (aka Starbolt) back to driving a Honda (Raptor). It’s hard to go back.

Why not just try to embrace the newer vehicles and get really good at them (and ONS) instead? Doesn’t seem like you’ve given that an honest effort. Seems to me your biggest issue is the quality of players…

This is no different than before the roster of new vehicles, the spam whores would just camp the mino and dragon instead. The majority of Omni players have never fully embraced what ONS is really about.

There’s a few that have come around, but believe it or not the ONS player quality on CEONSS is even worse. I personally don’t understand the mentality, but it seems like most just want to play vehicle DM and not engage in the objectives of ONS. Whatever, makes them easy pickings, you should stay and just get better at ONS, your DM skills are already very good.

Thank you for the kind words guys.

I do try to go to nodes when I play ONS. It's one of the reasons I dislike MassD so much - I feel like I'm the only one on my team getting killed repeatedly going to nodes. I'm sure I will still join the server. Removing it from my favorites is a way for me to stop going habitually. I go, hoping it will be masterbath, bitchslap, gordons, tyrant and usually end up disappointed playing minus junkyard all night.

I still don't know how you score so high going to nodes Enyo. :) I go to the nodes, I just don't get as many points.
