    Hey Brawlers,
    I've been playing HG a lot recently, and of course I've been dying, winning, dying - all the fun stuff you see in HG. The thing that's gotten a tad annoying though is wanting a soup server when there is only a no soup available, and the only soup server is approximately 15 minutes away and I have to wait.

    My Proposal
    Make players have to VOTE in the lobby for the server type.
    Have simple commands like /soup and /nosoup as voting commands (since /vote is taken by the server voting) and make the majority rules win the game-type. This could all be done pre-game in a lobby to determine the server. The server type should be announced perhaps 30sec to 1min before the game starts, so the server can set-up the world and players can prepare.

    I think this could work out when I think of it theoretically, perhaps I am wrong or perhaps I am not. Discuss this in the comments, this is just an idea I came off from the top of my head and I didn't really think through it indepthly - however I wanted to see your comments.

    If you want further explanation, please let me know in the comments.
    Cheers,
    - Ryth.

    I agree to a extent with your proposal . I cant seem to think of any reasons not to implement a feature such as this ! So i would love to see it added !

    That's good, if you have any concerns let me know.
    I personally haven't found many qualms with the theoretical side of the idea besides perhaps the servers being unable to change to soup/no-soup that quickly or that it perhaps may take too much work from developers/coders to create.

    I must admit i dont have anything more than very basic coding knowledge although my assumption is that this feature can be implemented smoothly and with ease . That said i also think that this would be a change implemented after Beta HG , once there are more servers and a larger player basis i think it will be a huge improvement and will certainly help out !!!!

    PS. The reason i say when there are more servers is because imagine wanting to play No-Soup and not being able to find a server .

    I don't like this idea, Only one server will be voted for most, just like the SGG with turbulence

    The idea is good, but if one server type is preferred by a majority I fear that only one type will be played anymore.

    I thought this as well, following from what @TheMafias said earlier about influenced voting, etc.
    The thing is, if only one type of server is voted for using this process (let's take soup servers for an example), we will begin to know what majority of the player base enjoy and what they vote for, and you can see how many people enjoy Soup/No-Soup. If the voting goes majorly to perhaps the soup side, we will know exactly what the player base wants. Knowing what the player base wants, we can change the amount of servers accordingly.

    I feel like I'm doing a poor job of explaining this, to try simplify my view:
    Voting let's us determine what majority of the player base likes, if the voting is massively skewed to one side of the voting then we can potentially remove the server that isn't voted for by the majority. We can then use this information to improve what majority of the player base wants.

    I hope this made sense, and just note that this is my opinion and you don't have to agree with it if you don't wish.

    I understand, I just would like you to know that I don't have a preference, I only play soup when there is no ping vs nosoup

    I'm fully against this idea. Although I prefer Soup to a WAY larger extend, I feel that this will cause player counts to drop significantly. The 2 scenarios below explain this:

    1. If there are a lot of MCPVP Veterans on, they will definitely vote for soup. In that case, new players from Brawl will die easily coz most of them wouldn't be able to outsoup the veterans. And since I said a lot of MCPVP Veterans are on, the server will always be soup, and new players will hate the server (obviously, you don't wait for 10 min to die in the first 2 min)

    2. If it is always no soup, MCPVP Veterans will not like it and may just leave. I would leave, I don't wanna play every HG as a no soup game.

    SO: Maybe there should be more servers, perhaps 5 of each.

    This is similar to the idea proposed in war - map/gamemode voting. Here's the problem with THAT idea: only the same maps and gamemodes would be played and those who want it kept outside of the box cannot have it that way. I feel like this issue would be the same for HG. Good idea, it's just how it could play out may break it.

    Thats what i mean :wink: But yes that is i think the biggest issue we could possibly run into !

    You cant possibly compare war and HG , war has a much larger amount of possible maps/gamemodes !!! HG only has 2 options available so with a large amount of servers your bound to find what you want to play ~

    I think after Beta we will see a spike in players and as a reaction a increase in servers , i hope so atleast :wink:
