ONS-HomeSweetHome Randomizer

Now all we have to do is bitch enough until the unholy trinity of minus/junk/dria gets removed (or at least limited to certain days)

Let's be clear here... those maps are varied and some are good, some not so much. Dria, Arctic Junk and MTMU-KS Randomizers most often get played before the server is busy. Then we're left with the slower moving crappier versions like Djunk and MTMU old school that the stains still love and vote for.

I'd be all for removing some MTMU maps, but you'd have a revolt and high loss of players if we removed those first 3 above. And Dria symmetrical is completely boring, so maybe it could go or use a rework. There was no need to put a castle fully around the center nodes making them super hard to hit and easy to defend. Making it symmetrical is a good idea, but the middle castles sound the nodes slow the map down too much.

Here's an idea, make Dria Randomizer symmetrical with the big hill on both sides by the core/primary, then remove the others, version, maybe leave classic Dria alone.

Been working on Dria Symmetrical version, with some addtional nodes in the middle (that big empty areas behind 1/2).
I can change out the castles.

Maybe a more simple rework as you suggested of Symmetrical with the more open 1/2 and same vehicle mix as current Dria-Rando (which even with some tweaks still favors one side, just like DJY/AJY)

Yeah exactly... Dria Randmoizer is a great map but the lopsided terrain is still an issue. The big cliff near core side has the advantage and still usually wins, so just mirror it for the whole map. No need to jack with the structures around nodes or the node layout. Then get rid of all other Drias except the classic one.

Doing the same thing with Djunk Randomizer would help too (mirroring one side), and please get rid of the old Djunk (non-random). It feels so terribly slow in comparison now, and we have 3 Junk Randomizers variations now. We got too much junk in the trunk.

Thanks for your work on this, Rhamp!

Which classic one? The original? Which really isn't like current Dria-Rando

Yeah, the old Omni version where the Dragon and Mino are the two most powerful vehicles. Just the good old non-randomizer lopsided terrain version. The symmetric version as a randomizer without those fully intact center castles (use original crumbled castles) would be perfect.

Nice job Pooty!

Can we remove the holiday maps from rotation after Jan 1?

Yes I think that works. And we can just use the map lists so we don't have to reupload.
