a1 time limit

[SteelHorse]

The current time/score limit is 15 minutes for 100 kills. Most of the time because of the fewer people on a1 we don't reach the score limit very often. So what do y'all think about leaving the score limit but changing the time to like 20 to 25 minutes for longer games which would keep people there longer and hopefully help with populating it, and it also would make it to where someone actually felt like they won instead of the time running out every time. Now go vote. Thanks

I prefer a higher time limit as this helps retain players and thus help get more players during the process.

Or, how about we reduce the number of kills needed to something like 75 or 80?

I think if we do that its jst going to make shorter games, thus more people leaving at the end of the game.

I voted to change it to 20 minutes. Should be a good mixture of 100 kills & time.

20/100 is a good ratio

20 is good. It's usually plenty to win by score with 15+ people.

25 is too much if there are just 10 or so. People end up bored and leave if no one is close to the limit.

Maybe we should broadcast the limit so some people know what they are playing for?

Bump the time limit by a couple of minutes. It sucks when you can pretty much count on someone winning by score. Better when it's like a challenge, in my opinion.



I'd go with 18 minutes, but I doubt that will happen... it's not a nice round number. But that's just my vote.

I'll be happy with w/e

I voted 15 mins, but in the end i really don't care.

I also don't think it really makes any real difference in getting regulars unless the scoring and round times are really out of whack.

Helps populate the server that's for sure. While trying to maximize the player count, I played around with the time & score limit earlier today (don't worry, it's back to the way it was). Doing so, the server was full for a good 10 minutes. Once the round ended, it didn't go down as bad as I thought it would; went down to 20. Even so, IMO I honestly think the longer round times help retain players and helps attract other players into the server. Nearly most of the time I've seen half the players leave the server after every round. If the server time limit gets raised to say 20 minutes, we'd only have 3 round restarts in an hour rather than 4, thus helping retain some of the players.

IMO i say keep it how it is now.. seems to be doing pretty good. If anything though, I'd say maybe increase the time limit by maybe 5 mins. Other than that.. keep it the same, people seem to like it!

 

[DamageINC]

That's a good point, i didn't think about that. If a longer round time helps attract more players in the last few mins of a round, the people leaving will be made up a bit by the late joiners staying and playing the next round. Also having the server populated for longer periods would attract more players.

I don't hardly play s1 so i was probably talking out of my ass

lol did you read what the thread is about?

20 seems about right. Altough I have beaten the score limit quite a few times with 15-20 people on the server.

 

[Freeze]

Yeah 20 seems a better way out.

 

[BriAn79]

Well the title of it is a1 time limit so I didn't think I misunderstood anything lol. I think the kill limit is good so that's why I didn't say anything about that. For the time, like I said, maybe increase it by 5 mins.. other than that I'd keep it at 15 but that's just me.

Did I miss something?

 

[Rival]

IIIIIIFFFFFF we would raise it to 25/30 minutes it would be good if we raised the kill limit to 150.

 

[MelRose]

I personally enjoy playing in the server with the current 15 minute time limit, however if an additional 5 minutes or so can help increase population... I'm all for it.

No...

I voted for 25 minutes, but I can see how 20 minutes might be a better time limit. I agree with Red that maybe if we have a longer time limit, then we should have a higher score limit as well. Definitely need to increase the time though, to get more people to stay on the server longer.
