A conversation was had in the admin forums and we came to the conclusion that some server changes were in order but that the infamous DD2 24/7 server must stay as it is.
Also, the "noobs and kiddies" Void mentions are the future gamers, it's obvious they enjoy our dd2 24/7 server and so their gaming needs are catered for. The regulars (all you other guys) voted for the current setup but have yet to make use of it on a regular basis.
TBH Iconz CS:S scene is so dead even rearranging the servers is going to do squat to draw the players back. Or if it did it would only be a fleeting interest.
So with that in mind you may as well cater to your "future gamers" and have 2 DD2 24/7 servers, 2 Office 24/7 servers and the last server might as well be a DD2 / Office rotation server.
yeah rank for kpd etc i see a sbeing a feature, but amni can run that natively without having to implement HLSTATSX, which should romove some of the performance issues. Still ahve your core what place am i, how many kills, kpd etc.
TBH rank should be completely or not at all.
Playing for KDP = camping. Think about the scenario.. No stats apart from kdp, player jumps on the server, starts getting owned with a 0-6 death streak. So thinks to himself, "Oh no, my precious KDP is suffering, I'd better camp it up for the rest of the map/s" and so precedes to. Then after playing checks his KDP and gives himself a handjob for finishing with a pos ratio.
Those are the types of players you don't want playing on Iconz servers. When I first started playing on these servers it was good, people just hopped on and played, didn't matter what side, then the rank was introduced and it went downhill from there, including the rego.
+1 for a pug server. Vanilla pub cs gets boring after a while. Also maybe trial another no awp server, when Iconz had 2 of them running they were the most popular and also gives players a chance to actually use guns they wouldn't normally.
A proud military man, Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg (Tom Cruise) is a loyal officer who serves his country all the while hoping that someone will find a way to stop Hitler before Europe and Germany are destroyed. Realizing that time is running out, he decides that he must take action himself and joins the German resistance. Armed with a cunning strategy to use Hitler’s own emergency plan – known as Operation Valkyrie – these men plot to assassinate the dictator and overthrow his Nazi government from the inside. Valkyrie is based on the true story of Colonel Claus von Stauffenberg.
