XI XL map rotation

[Aidan]

The underlying problem here is the player community is tiring of the MWLL mod. Don't get me wrong, this is a great mod!!! But the team, sad to say, has to cope with a volunteer group with varying talents and abilities. So the schedule of new content release becomes longer or shorter with the availability of MWLL Devs to complete the work to the standard the MWLL Project Directors require.

The people behind the XI servers only bring shame to themselves and dishonor a truly great volunteer effort.

I only hope the MWLL Dev team continues with this great mod and the player community flourishes.

The XI server currently has some weird lag issues. Sometimes every 60 seconds or so, it will not respond for a few seconds, making it often completely unplayable.

Only extreme idiots play on that server.

For all its problems, XI is at least an accessible server. If I'm given a choice between terrible maps and poor performance on XI and "you have been autokicked because you do not live in America" on Huntress, guess which one I'm going to take?

The Dragoons run European servers(PLURAL), so does RDL, and there are a few others.  The problem is not that there are no choices, it is that people refuse to make a logical choice.  Just last night people were playing on XI even though everyone was getting redXed to death.  C'mon people, the ping excuse is pointless, ya know you don't have to play on Huntress either.  You also don't have to play on the most full server either, 7v7 or 8v8 games are quite fun too.  Doesn't always have to be 12v12 or 15v15.

The current configuration of the XI server is much better than all of the other servers and its current rotation is... well not optimal, but overall more fun than on many of the other servers. On WD you have excruciatingly long games on TC and TSA maps, since they use a long map time and a high ticket count for TC. Also the TSA maps run in score based mode instead of ticket based, which I prefer. Overall there are probably always a few reasons for each player, why they would rather play on XI. Be it because it's the only server accessible for them, since the do not have a legal copy of Crysis Wars, be it because of ping, map preference, configuration preference or simply because it's.. not an empty server.

But it's practically dead right now anyway, I guess the few people who are still on it are the ones with no legal copy . May be we should report it in their forums...

I would like to add 1 or 2 maps more. It can be a big puzzle to get the server as stable as it is now. But, give me some map names and I will add them to the rotation. If it all goes wrong and with people's patience, I am willing to try some more again.

Thank you guys for the feedbacks!

I'm likely a day late and a dollar short to this offer, but I'd like to throw in my suggestions for maps:
TSA_Extremity - Although this map makes my video card cry with bloom, I really like the day\night cycle, and the giant radar dishes.
TSA_Palisades - This map can lend itself to boating ELRMs\ArrowIVs, but I love sitting up on a hill in my B variant Hephaestus picking on units below with my radar off. Typically they can't get a shot off until they get smart enough to sneak up the hill and come after me. The map lends itself to sneaking behind enemy lines.

I can't recall which servers I've played which maps on. If they're already in your rotation, great! If not, please consider adding them. Thanks!

Huh, what do you mean?

Looks like XI is down low. At least, I just can't see it in server list. And I like it. Playing on 7WD, on some different maps... Stable server that usually has no hit-detection issues. Feels just fine!

Finally. Took several months, hopefully it will last.
