40-1 Classic Server Steam Group

[=GG= Mr Moe]

You must be very new here then if you say such bs. You probably dont even know about what servers you are talking about rofanatic..
We have been supporting custom maps since the beginning, even at coast of losing some players but why am I bothered to explain it to you.

I hate to say this, but I haven't seen custom maps on the CLASSIC server. If they are there, they are few and far between the (mostly tired) stock maps which have been out over two years.

I am sorry if I am wrong, but I would rather not sit thru a bunch of stock maps to get to the rare and occasional custom map.

Perhaps list the maps in rotation or those available for voting? I check the RO2 Tracker app several times daily (great app by the way, it checks servers and players many times faster than checking Steam or the in-game browser) and have not seen a custom map in a long time. Maybe I am checking at the wrong times, but if there are that many stock maps in comparison to custom... well, you understand.

The #1 server (realism mode) does have custom maps. I don't know if it's set in a rotation, but often during EU prime time he will force the custom maps on during a full server. This server is the only place I've ever seen and been able to play Kobura, Angaur, Otori Shima, Bataan on a FULL 64 PLAYER server.

The classic server is dead and putting in custom maps won't revive it, there's no point.

I knew the Realism server had customs, but it is the Classic server that people are asking about here. I have to be mighty bored to sit thru more than one round of Realism, custom maps or not.

It does seem some players would play the Classic server if there were custom maps. But since it appears none (or minimal) are on the Classic server and probably won't be in the future...

I answered you about custom maps on classic server before mate. They didnt help to keep the server populated, opposite - many players chose to leave the server when a custom map came and server emptied after a while. You used to be regular on our classic server so you probably played lots of custom maps which I often tried to push. Right now the server is dead and putting custom maps will not revive it.
What pissed me off was saying that our servers in general don`t support and play custom maps custom maps which is very unfair and far from truth.
I still remember first map test sessions of Ogledow and Butovo on our servers. They played almost all custom maps available on the map forums.
VietViking thanks for stating the fact about custom maps on our server 1.
I feel stupid explaining that we do support custom maps on our servers after all the work I put in promoting them.

I don't think anyone ever questioned 40-1 supporting custom maps in general, the question (here in this thread) was about the Classic server.

You have players who would play it if there were customs on it (and that is why they are asking here), but since it doesn't seem to be worth the effort, it may stay unpopulated. Damned if you do, damned if you don't I guess. Damn shame as I find most of the custom maps more interesting than most of the stock maps.

Glad your #1 server is doing good, just very little interest in the realism for some players (including me).

Guy i don't want to turn this thread into flames and finger pointing, who's right or wrong. And as you all know i've been one of the most vocal person here about servers admins not hosting custom maps. 40-1 server was always full before, 24/7 around the clock you had people in it. They hosted very little , if any custom maps. But last the last few weeks is been kinda dead....Do you'll know why? If you guessed custom maps.......ding ding you're right!

I went into the server early in the week because my map was being played by like 4 people or so. and the whole time i was there, know one showed up.

I brought up the map vote and guess what i saw? yup you're right again. Noting but custom maps. there was like 6 to 8 custom maps in the list period.


So the moral of this story is....We sit on these forums and cry about how server admins aren't hosting custom maps, YES! me included!! yet once they do, we don't do chit to support them. We ***** about how they don't care and what not.


I'd like to personally apologize to 40-1 and the rest of the server admins from other clans about not hosting any custom maps. You will never here a peep out of me anymore about why you're not hosting custom content.

Most of this community has become ALL talk but no action! That my friends is truly sad!!!!!


Once again Sorry for anything bad i've said in the past. And thanks for trying to help an almost helpless community!

The problem is that from 800 to 1200 people who actually play RO HOS/RS on a daily base probably 100/150 know more about custom content and willing to play these maps. Maybe 30 of them actually visit this forum and post.
A large of this number is Russian and they play mainly RO HOS.... (At least I did not see the Russian servers run RS)

The multitude just plays what is served. And the prefer the easy dish.
How often I heard playing a custom map someone joins probably by accident and asks "Hey is this a new map" Or "Huh I don't know this map have there been an update"

Whenever I hear this I know enough. Most of the work for custom content goes unnoticed for the most of players. Its the visible with the announced events on the Crucible. How enthousiast Sajer might be about it. the average of 30 players for an announced event is a sign on the wall.

Tonight I was lucky to play RSTE-Bataan on a filled 40-1 server. Mord posted in the thread that it will be added. It was one of the few times since the release I had that chance. How can one ever tweak a map ????

And than I see the call for new bigger custom maps with the soon to be added vehicles I get a false smile on my face....
In my believe any custom mapper should only start a new project like that in close cooperation with the bigger servers in order to get these new maps played. Any other attempt is some sort of weirdo SDK masochism....

You can count on us guys at least on RS field. Don`t hesitate to talk with me about your custom map test arrangement.
On a bright side - So far this evening 3 RS custom maps have been played so far: Kitajima, Bataan and now Otori Shima. Full server load!

Howdy Mord. As a suggestion; would it be possible for some kind of Steam group announcement or 40-1 website section giving some kind of indication of what is to be expected to see on server/s over the coming week? shaddowwill

This is a great way to bring the classic players together, and using the steam group they can be notified by messages and events when to (then) hop on the server and get it populated.

Maybe 40-1 Steam group members are not using messaging as much as they could be or group admin/members (not sure how this works) using event notifications as often as they could!?

There used to be announcements, but I don't recall getting any lately.

It ran some custom maps early this evening. It was filled But around 20:00 CET it went back to stockmaps. At least had two rounds on Bataan where the Japanese learned to defend.... Did not know why it went back on stock maps.

 

[[40-1]MORD]

Its campaign server so players vote which map they want to play. Apparently they chose stock maps after Bataan. Right now I see Kobura being played.
Each sector has a custom map added in prime time.

 

[LugNut]

Just played almost two full rounds. Customs were being chosen at almost every option. More please.

Ok I get it. It went to subbase after Bataan, but it did not took long.

I'm happy to resurrect this thread. Today our server 1 will be switch to classic mode again. It's totally up to you guys if we keep it or not. Join our steam group and respond when we organise our classic events.
Classic time coming again!

 

[atomyc]

It's been full 2 hours with newbies and vets mix :IS2:

 

[Sone7]

I guess it's not been switched yet, and free weekend is still a factor we need to consider in the coming three days. What are the plans for other 2 servers? For now it seems all are mixed/HoS only.

But most importantly: yeeeeeeeey, classic! Hope it works this time, in the long term.

 

[[40-1]MORD]

One server is hos campaign realism as normally, second is rs map roration classic as we want actively participate in rising storm sale and promote classic mode. We have 3rd smaller server which maybe could be used to s&d.

Are you being ddosed?

 

[Tea_and_Crumpets]

Hear ye, hear ye!

There is a new 40-1 server on the block and it's an Immersion Overhaul Mod addict! You can find it in the Unranked tab going by the name 40-1 "NO MAN'S LAND" IOM SERVER.

We will be having a little party this Friday (29th of Aug) to celebrate its launch. Join the Dibbler's Mod steam group for event details!
