    Remove HG?

    My answer is yes.

    HG gets no players (0-5) and makes Brawl look bad. HG as an gamemode is growing out of style anyway and Brawl released a new gamemode. Server space would also be released making it easier for Brawl economically. Also the meme of HG will carry on even if it's removed. ALSO also we will get a forum message boost when Uraniumm gets unbanned.

    Get rid of completely? No. However, I wouldn't be opposed to dropping the server count to one. We got a whole new server just for Battle Royale, so server space isn't a problem right now. As for why I feel we shouldn't remove HG completely? It does still get players and when it does there are typically more players than on other servers on Brawl. However, I've never seen more than one server used at once, so I see no reason to have more than that up.

    I'm gonna be completley honest with you. I haven't seen HG get over 5 players this month.

    Honestly, just have ONE HG server up. Instead of the amount it has up already. Haven't seen two games going on at the same time in a while :/

    Gamemodes only cost money because:
    • We need to host them
    • We need to spend dev time on them
    The servers are hosted on boxes - we have enough space on the box to keep HG hosted. If we removed HG, we'd just have empty server space on the boxes that no gamemode would be using, so we wouldn't save any money there. We're also not spending any dev time whatsoever on HG (we already have a revamped kit list and I have a few bugs in mind that could be fixed, but this isn't happening any time soon because it's just not worth it). Essentially, HG isn't wasting any money.

    If circumstances change and HG does begin to waste money, obviously it'll be beneficial to Brawl as a whole to shut down the gamemode. I'll be very unhappy if this happens (hell, last time I moved over to Wild West but I no longer enjoy that - apparently I'm too inexperienced with CTF teams and am not liked by their community so I can't become CTF server specific, and I think there's better KitPvP servers out there, so I'm not sure where I'd go...), but I'll certainly understand it's just beneficial to Brawl.

    However, if it does get shut down, I would hope it's temporary until we can afford to spend dev time on HG - I have tons of ideas with HG (ranging from a normal rework to making a HG equivalent of UHC Meetup) and I think it has tons of potential to be popular, but obviously it is not right now and we can't spend dev time on it.

    tl;dr: it's not wasting money right now so there's no point in shutting it down. However, if circumstances change, it'll be nothing but beneficial to Brawl to shut it down until we can revamp it, as unhappy as I'd be for it to happen.

    Oh yeah I remember that box space thing now. :stuck_out_tongue: For me HG is more or a disgrace because of its low player amounts. But I guess you're thinking that it doesn't really matter to have one extra of something if it does no harm. I tend to think like that, but like I said I think its player amounts are just depressing.

    P.S. Hurried response; on a trip.

    Agreed - but I still have hope. Hell, we got the playercounts to 30 regularly for a few weeks when we started doing the weekly events just after Christmas, somehow... x.x

    Like SoCool stated, it's not really hurting us much to keep it up, so there's no point in just taking it down.
    Also, I really like the ideas on this thread posted by MattM1PvP, and I think they could help HG quite a bit, or atleast get some recognition.
