No no no , can't do stats wipe , that's just low.

I accept my flaws in the game. Stats wipe is morally wrong

yeah i'm the same, my K/D ratio is .5 or something like that, but i like seeing it go up (or down depending on how you look at it)

I like to see my improvement through the games and when i finally hit the 1 i will procede to get very VERY drunk that night

Hi Guys,
We've removed Kharkhand as most didnt like it and it was a bit unbalanced and put the conquest rounds to 1. We've now also added in Gulf Of Oman on Conquest (normal), which has 4flag points, jets, transport and attack heli's...Let us know what you think!

Why not put in Firestorm as it seems to be more popular than Gulf of Oman?

Right now, just 2 people asking for Firestorm, both admins! If people want it, then you guys should add it in. Perhaps see if its popular this weekend. I'm watching to see if certain maps clear people out and just trying to guage opinion from the regulars. At the outset we said we'd try to keep the bigger maps out of it until we had the server full all the time and maybe could push it up to 48 players, so now we have GoO, which is pretty large, espeically if you're swimming in from the carrier :0

mick-fitz8585 · 22-06-2012 12:29pm

Gulf Of Oman is crap and will make a lot of people leave.

The auto balancer that was on before was mostly ok, it didn't move people to often during a game but what it did wrong was break up peoples squads even if they didn't move sides.

Just had a look at your map rotation why havent you added some of the most popular ones??

Bazaar, Seine Rush and Metro Conquest are not there??????????

Leinster7 · 22-06-2012 12:31pm

Yes, squads won't be broken up now Mick.
Gulf Of Oman Rush has been very popular since we put it in there.
Conquest we'll try tonight and see what everyone thinks. How do you feel about firestorm Mick?

Remember, there is always 'map vote' on the server too!

AnCapaillMor · 22-06-2012 12:36pm

Jaysus poor old gaelic and dewinters hasn't even started yet. Welcome to craggy where noones ever happy.

mick-fitz8585 · 22-06-2012 12:38pm

lol im not a member of craggy just a helpful voice lol

I dont mind it on rush but on conquest no way.

Metro conquest is a must do

Leinster7 · 22-06-2012 12:39pm

Personally I don't think firestorm is good on rush and same for metro on conquest but if more want these we'll add them

mick-fitz8585 · 22-06-2012 12:43pm

Metro conquest is by far the most popular map.

Firestorm is ok on rush but alot better on conquest and a hell of a lot better the omen conquest

p.s. the voting is a good option do

ktulu123 · 22-06-2012 2:01pm

I'd prefer firestorm myself. Why not have both? Caspian too!

AnCapaillMor · 22-06-2012 2:15pm

If there's people there, i'd be for both but there's no worse maps when there's 10 or less playing them.

I remember Shamrock had a plugin that would change the maps depending on the amount of players in it..
Would it work in conjunction with the votemap plugin in lets say if 0-10 players in it would give a list of city or smaller maps for voting and it it went above say 16 players it would then include maps for voting like caspian/kharg/firestorm etc in it?

Leinster7 · 22-06-2012 3:29pm

I think you need 48-64 players for caspian, kharg etc personally and most new players to Battlefield series, (prob about 70% of bf3 community) want the smaller maps, more intense action. This is the reasoning behind my map changes and votemap and others...I'm selling the server to the public community!

My personal suggestion is to get the server to being full every afternoon/evening -32P- with good patronage from the public community then expand it to 48/64 and put the bigger maps in. (I see a lot of 32p servers empty when kharg conquest comes in the rotation...)

Otherwise. the other route is that we can do as before and just put maps on the server that the Craggy clan want and the server will probably just have the craggy clan on it, which as Horse says can be 8-10 players only some nights. Perhaps it makes more sense to do this with the 16man server...

Metro Conquest - 64 player is the most popular as its a stat-padding/levelling up map. imo, extremely unskilled and quite boring at times.

The most popular competitive maps are actually the City Rush maps and Grand Bazaar on conquest. BF3 stats has some good info

If everyone wants a 32 or 48 player Metro Conquest only server then hey... we'll provide..

Whatever about maps and auto balancers, i wanna know 1 thing and 1 thing only where is my free beer.......

Also can we change the "X took Y from behind" to something like 'X sodomised Y' Or 'X took advantage of Y's innocence' or something else I dont think I can take/give it to ancapill or overlord from behind any more

When I said you needed a microscope the other night I didn't know how wrong I was....

Joeface · 24-06-2012 10:43am

map vote is good and bad . I like peak rush as much as the next but voted in 3times in under an hour the last nite was a bit much.

KillerShamrock · 24-06-2012 4:37pm

Have to agree with joeface/lycan vote map is good but the map you are currently on shouldn't be in the vote also I dunno if its possible to determine if the map you are voting is rush or conquest.

The auto balancer on the other hand now there is something i got shafted by the other night i was on the winning team on a game of rush on peak ( set a good few mcoms myself) then all of a sudden I was switched to the defenders just after setting the last mcom wtf could of been an admin but i doubt that tbh.
Then next game of conquest on seine crossing on the dominant team then switched to loosing team with only a handful of tickets left :mad:

Some servers have a plugin that doesn't allow switching to the winning team maybe if cost and ease arent too much of an issue this could be added so people dont stat pad. Plus if a player does try to switched they are named and shamed

Joeface · 24-06-2012 5:27pm

yeah balancer seems to be a bit random . Usually its suppose to move the last joined.what happened to that. any way must get a few rounds in tonite if people are game.

Leinster7 · 25-06-2012 4:08pm

Hmmm, i had set the balancer to not allow you to switch with 30 tickets left. Also it should only switch you if you are the last joiner and the teams are 15-13 for example and this is done within 30seconds of joining.

On the map vote, you should not be able to vote for the current map.

edit: I've now made changes , so should be sorted

I'm wondering how much game time the second server has got. I've never seen anybody on and I miss the odd CQ round.

will try and get it populated either tonight or tomorrow night...

Leinster7 · 26-06-2012 1:01pm

Maps have changed again slightly with Firestorm (small conquest) replacing Gulf of Oman, due to popular demand. Gulf Of Oman still there for Rush.

List is here:

RustySpoon · 10-07-2012 10:03am

Well, has craggy died a death since the changes?
I haven't played on it in a while and it always seems to be empty.

Blazer · 10-07-2012 10:06am

yeah we need to relook at the maps and sort them out although BF3 has taken a drop in popularity due to the Arma mod Day-Z which seems to have a lot of the normal regulars playing it..trying it out myself as well

RustySpoon · 10-07-2012 10:49am

I might give it a go myself, if steam sale is nice to me.
Still seems to be a fair few regulars that could populate the server.

ktulu123 · 10-07-2012 11:19am

Played some BF last night for the first time in a while. DayZ is the reason im away too :P

PogueMahone365 · 13-07-2012 8:03am

I thought, when I saw the title of this thread, it was going to be some kind of petition for a Craggy Island map to be added on an upcoming DLC.

How disappointed I was.

How cool would it be to C4 the crap out of the Parochial House, or drive a tank through John & Mary's shop?

have a big "beast" howl every now and again, sheep running away from it.

Random shots ringing out from a building with an "I shot JR" tshirt hanging from the washing line.

it would be a no fupping swearing map too

Lads seriously, this map NEEDS to happen.
US Deployment could be from out near "the English boats dumping the old 'glow in the dark'", and Russian deployment could be from the rusting hulk on the beach.

if only BF3 allowed modding

Shiminay · 13-07-2012 12:03pm

I remember talking to Patrick Liu at a press event and he said that the way Frostbite is built, they can't build modding tools for it as it would require huge amounts of work for them and any modder who wanted to try their hand.

Sounded like something of a cop-out to me, but what can you do?

Bloody hell there was. BF1942 had some fantastic mods, desert combat with a full fleet of ships and subs, loved the cruise missiles, bit like the tv missile now.

Bf2 stemmed from a 1942 mod. A few of us craggiers still play POE and Dcon mods for BF2 at lans every now and then. there was some great BF2 modded maps, there was a cracking wake island map with massive foilage in between points, so you weren't as much cannon fodder for heli's jets etc.
