All you have to do to get something started is holler out to a bunch of us via Steam Friends, and we'll jump in.. we had a very nice HLDM match the other day... I'ma have to check out those maps when no one else is on cause I was completely lost on one of them!! But it was fun anyway.. :-)

It would be nice it some of the people who go to the 24/7 servers helped fill 1 or 3, I know a few of us have tried a few times to start them up, but people seem more content playing 2fort, dust or goldrush for hours on end... I know I don't have much at stake in Tempests, but it's my favorite server and it would be nice if we could get a rotation server constantly filling up. :D McCheese wrote:I've always said all women are 2 drinks away from full on lesbian action Lead Salad wrote:I never figured whut for a fairy..wait, yes, yes I did.

Well I guess the utilization of 4 times the bandwidth kinda answers the question about the servers 'losing steam' I think not..  they seem to be gaining a loyal following the longer they are out there and are starting to fill more often (except for a few). You done gud WDF? Thanks!!!

I'm sad that tempest3 seems to be our least popular server. Maybe it's mapcycle should be changed? And it's name too, I think the word "custom" scares people away. Razor wrote:Killing people is good therapy.

yeah we should call it "extra fun" or " Tempest a la carte" or something.

How about take avanti_b1, rename it to 2fort and call tempest 3 24/7 2fort. This'll make everyone happy. Me for playing avanti_b1 with people instead of with myself and those other people for playing the most fun map.

{pDs} TERMINATORâ„¢ wrote:Also beacause of those "Bots"
People join, realize its empty, so next time if there actually is 6 people or less in the server, they think no point in joining, it will be empty again
I agree, the bots will kill the servers. I will gladly join a server with 3 or 4 to get it rolling, but now, who knows of it is 6 bots, or 6 players?
Anyone remember what happened to DoD awhile back, when almost every single server was filled with idle bots? Pretty much killed the game for months. I could spend 15 minutes trying to find an actual server, or not play.
Now people will never join a Tempest server with 6 players, because they will automatically assume they are empty. Unless you get more than 6 people to flood a server at once, they aren't going to fill.

Wait.. we have actual bots now? I guess it's been a while since I joined a low-populated server. Why would someone get upset if they join with bots? Other people should join in short order and it's easy target practice.

They are just placeholder bots to make the server appear active. the idea is that you see 6 ppl and join in to an active server, the reality is that you join an empty server and have to run around by yourself. The problem that Wavy is mentioning is that if you are familiar with the tempest 6 placeholders...then you just don't join...even if there are actually 3 humans in there because you assume that the 6 players don't exist. So I agree that 6 is a bit much...maybe reduce it to 3 or 2 or something. Or hell just get rid of it all together.

Bleh. Saying "bots" sounds misleading. Real bots would at least give them something to do. I'm amazed there's no viable mods for them out there yet...
