So what's with frostbyte?

[ripperthedipper]

So I understand that Frostbyte is by far the most popular map in legions, and therefore has the most map weight in the map rotation, but isn't this a bit too much? 16 out of 23 dedicated servers are currently on frostbyte. I know this is all random, but still.

I really like playing on bigger maps like core, zenith, gorge,... and certainly with the big and small map servers being 'fused' it feels really uncool to always see frostbyte or nivosus.

Frostbyte or Zenith, or I'll quit legions.

 

[Pure]

frost or [fallout]- but a-holes keep llaming and od grabing makes me want to shoot my self.

[...] I know this is all random [...]

Why this post then? Don't get me wrong, Frostbyte is the most overplayed and overrated map Leejunz has, but if you really do understand how the current mapcycles work, why this post?

Sick as shazbot of frost and nivo

Why not make new maps?

 

[Dimitryy]

put the App-map in the rotation

I was asking myself if people actually find it acceptable that frostbyte shows up so much in map rotation.

cause all the new ones made kinda suck

example: GORGE.

 

[Ucantry2run]

Perfectly acceptable. Most maps suck. If you want to play a sucky map, you can do it by yourself or with the small amount of people who don't want to Play frost. IMO frost/nivo/zenith are the most fun and all I needed. Most people think the same, including some of the devs.

As for new maps, the dev team is too small/ they aren't making money, so they just might not have the time. Although they are growing, which SEEMS to be a plus.

True, screw this $hit lets play Frostbyte!

It doesn't make any difference which map you play on if you're getting mortared on the stand by a 12 year old kiddo, who feels like the Pro3000 after that or getting sniped by a random smurf who spams the quickchat and feels like a badass now.

I disagree, elegiac and fallout are fantastic maps.

I've done elegiac in a pub, it was great. I'm also tired of everyone choosing frostbyte, then when I captain and I try to choose another map ppl bicker and complain...

you cant compare a pub to a pug...

well, with the lack of pickups that happen, people only wanna have good games (understandable yea?). maps that will result in bad games are generally not played. thats why whenever someone suggests a map that isnt favourable (core, gorge, fallout etc..) they usually get overruled.

na'mean?

er, pug, sorry, my bad

Yah, I see that point, but no need for only frostbyte...

This is a wild speculation and a baseless charge! New maps are great, especially gorge. I think there was so much whining about the larger maps and folks actually had to "work" instead of lounge around. I was wondering what happend to Forgotten, Blade Run, and Gorge and assumed the Devs were just working on them or something so I didnt want to complain. But if they were removed due to to a few complaints then shame on them. I dont like to criticize Devs, after all they volunteer their time and the game is free, but really the large maps are great.
As for PUGs blah blah blah.... Who cares? How many people actually play? I dont play because I dont like having to sit on the sidelines so the "better" players can do their thing.
