Player count

[Meisseli]

Could we have a smaller max playercount on the official servers? The 39/42 games aren't just fun and the Europeans might just start using the Euro server like they used to do. I don't believe it's worth a thing to see if 20v20 games are balanced?

[Who]

I think large games are pretty fun.

[Qrntz]

Big games are fun. I am though sometimes annoyed by the queue to medi/armoury.

[SlackerLinux]

yeh i find larger games epic fun(and slightly unbalanced)

[kharnov]

and the Europeans might just start using the Euro server like they used to do

YES!!!

[Kiwi]

Having 2 us servers with half the limit would be much better imho.  and I agree that the euro server should be used more.

[swamp-cecil]

i find long games fun, although they have disadvantages;
medi queue (they should heal the player with the least hp first, then switch the the new least player ETC)
cant kill a french fry with bassy.

long gmes are good for watching your team fight and pick out dretches with your MD

We need only few idlers in EU server
And one odd thing: most who are from European area, likes to stay in US server...

Most people like to play on populated servers.

With advanced map rotations fixed/completed we should be able to limit the amount of big games played on inappropriately small maps, which should help somewhat.

[Lakitu7]

Yeah, I agree. Let's try that before we think about changing playercounts or opening more servers.

[Sir|Fluffalot]

I'm from europe and the community on the us server is better + there are more players

That sounds nice having code in the server that analyzes the amount of players the last game and appropriately removes the chance of it selecting a tiny map or the inverse situation.

yes. nothings worse than huge teams on atcs... or 2 people per team on porycon

[F50]

Actually, I don't mind huge atcs games, its a bit crowded, but playable. Of course, I have a serious bias towards smaller maps.

[Cadynum]

US often starts to lag when there are a lot of players close to each other.
As long as it cannot handle a big player count it shouldn't accept it either.

Like someone mentioned, limiting US might spout some popularity to EU again, which would be great for us non-Americans who don't like to be humans all the time.

[Meisseli]

Ugh, when the server is full and every human is using chainsuit... like watching a slideshow.

[KillerWhale]

I never have much of a problem, even with the highest player counts.

I don't see a real reason to lower it.

[rotacak]

How battlesuit can affect fps/lag?

Chainsuit does, and basicly just the chaingun.

[Loki]

Because of muzzleflash?

Yessir.
