Get CTF straight

You misunderstand, I was simply saying that "400+" ping is not a delay of "literally seconds", its a delay of <1 second (most likely).
I understand the importance ping has and how it affects gameplay

 

Brawl's doing the same job with lag that mcpvp was (which is to say f*ck all, because there's f*ck all to do). You seem to attribute malice or mismanagement to problems that aren't malice or mismanaged at all. Lag is not a brawl problem. It's computer and internet connection.

Everybody on this server seems to forget how absolutely terrible mcpvp could be sometimes.

I say again... ctf is garbage and has been for 3 years.

At this point it's the fault of CTF'ers that you guys still play this game instead of maybe ANYTHING ELSE.

 

Where, may I ask, did I state that Brawl was incompetent? I merely stated that the server lacks funding. This is not a problem with Brawl, it is a problem among all Minecraft servers. Why did MCPvP shut down? Oh! Maybe it had something to do with a lack of funds.

 

Inability due to lack of funding and playerbase =/= inability due to incompetence.

Let me remind you that the servers you are suggesting brawl needs would cost more than the entire profitability CTF has left, by no insignificant amount.

Again, you are attributing incompetence to what can be explained by lack of money.

Can you guys all stop taking yourselves seriously for a while and realize that the game you all fight so hard for couldn't make money even with the reworks you're suggesting? Like, nothing short of a massive playerbase increase can save CTF.

 

1. How will you get the initial funds to start the server up?
2. How will you sustain the server? (no new players = less money long term)
3. Who will be your coder(s) will they be paid? Are they good and loyal?
4. Will CTF be coded from scratch or the code bought?
5. Where will you host it? Will there be a EU and a US server(splitting the community)?
6. Will there be forums? you'll need a host for that too
7. Will this server be just for regulars, or will it include new players?
8. Will there be a council?
9. Who will be in charge of the funds? What would stop them from taking all the money and bolting?
10. How will new changes be approved? by council or by popular vote?
11. Will the server be populated enough for people to come over from brawl's CTF?
12. How long would this project take? Others will lose interest as time goes by
13. How many regulars will transfer over? Not everyone has bad connection or cares about the flag change

Large networks could host CTF, but I have the feeling they'd "edit" it to make it super noob friendly and introduce crappy maps. There was a game acquired by mineplex and they completely screwed it up http://mineplex.wikia.com/wiki/Search_and_Destroy

 

Why aren't you playing on those alternative servers then? Why are you still here? Certainly if those alternatives are better you'd be busy helping them out instead of arguing on a gamemode that has "bad" gameplay and connection. Unless.. there aren't any players on that alternative server.
Also check my post above. I edited it



Plautius: So, there were 66 people in there. Do you think you would find five good coders in there who would be willing to dedicate some time into CTF for a low amount of money?

I've heard that having multiple coders is not always a good idea. And 5 out of 66 coders who will work for cheap for a small server? Doesn't sound very likely in my opinion. @NomNuggetNom can you verify/contradict this?

Sorry for multiple posts

 

tbh u cannot just force someone/something to be straight
if ctf wants to be gay let it be gay (((((((

Servers are bought in "Boxes" which is more than 1 single server to put it in simple terms. Not only would you have to find a EU host but you'd also have to pay a rather hefty sum of money to keep them running. Pricing depends on companies but the boxes that Brawl uses are estimated around $150 but EU boxes are nowhere near that price. Even if you could afford and fund it it'd also mean they'd have to involve you in their finances which causes issues as well as an annoying amount of setup for this box.

All of this wouldnt even amount to much anyway, the EU community is small and can handle a little lag, you might as well just wait until the "Alt" servers are up and play on those until they die out due to no new players joining.

TL;DR you dont know what you're talking about.

 

1) Brawl lag is a personal issue
2) "I am willing to fund projects like EU servers or un-laggy CTF alts, so that'd take care of that"

 

This post inspired me thanku @clogs for writing it and thank u @Plautius for posting it cuz clogs is banned )

 

Some Reworks and other things are needed, but there are always one-two rules for a server
1.Make it fun
2.Make it easy for new players
