Why is there a spam of maps

[RocketFish 23]

I find it increasingly hard to find a map that is popular and new. As we rank up, tanki unlocks new maps for us. However, when I enter the game in server EN4 about 1/4 of all games are using the map Noise CTF. Furthermore, There is a lot of other maps like Rio CTF and Polygon DM.

 

I wonder why is this happening? Maybe tanki should limit the amount of games allowed simultaneously with the same map. Maybe 10 noise games as a limit?

There needs to be another way to popularise rare maps. People have favourites and they want to play on them - it won't be good for the game's reputation to limit players like that.

Maybe we should create events to make rare maps more attractive.  Like Madness Gold Box drops 0.0001% times more often. Or battle fund in those maps like Courage increase by 0.1%?

There are so many maps in Tanki, yet so few of them are played.  There are quite a few maps that look like they'd be quite interesting, but I'm ashamed to say that I've never actually played at match on them.  They never come up in the battle list, and I'm not willing to create one myself because I know that no one will join it.  I think we definitely need some sort of encouragement to get people to play on these "forgotten" maps.  Who knows what we're missing out on?

too many maps but most of them are unpopular

Tanki should increase funds or have special gold boxes falling on non-popular maps. I guess thats one way.

Deck 9 fell cause of this and other maps (which i forget). People have this confort zone thing where its like inertia; they want to stay where they are. I played barda today and its a damn fun map. Lots of possibilites out there.

 

But some maps that arent popular do stink, like wave and combe. (My opinion)

 

There was a vote on which map would be erased from the game a while back... Or special golds for a week or something to promote the maps that deserve it

Wave and Combe are actually probably in the top half of popularity. There are many more maps, which I see being played about once a year.

For example, yesterday I played a Gravity DM.

I've probably never played one of those :o

And who here has a played a Serpuhov CP? I've only ever played one, and before that, I honestly thought Serpuhov didn't support CP until then. :blush: It was also one of the most fun battles I have ever played. Any other uncommon combinations?

I've never understood the appeal to noise, it is one of my least favorite maps.  I guess people tend to gravitate toward what is familiar and fits their play style.  Plus larger maps tend to use many times more resources so users on older machines may have a harder timeplaying them.

 

We should brainstorm a solution and post the best one in a suggestion thread. 

 

I'd like to see a map of the week, where an announcement is made each week that a certain map will get a bonus, such as 10% higher battlefund.  This would encourage people to try more maps and once the community is familiar with them they'll be more likely to make them.

Yesterday I was recording a video, and I was in server EN4, maaaaaaan like 20+ battles are all Noise map, and I didn't want to record another battle in that one. Tanki must do something about this. :/

I did 3 or 4 times. 

Also, I've player Magistral CP,DM.

Madness CP is also another rare mode.

Parma DM,TDM

Atra CP

Zone DM

Wolfstein DM

 

etc..

Noise CTF flooding EN4........ But I like Noise!

 

But wish for more Combe Inc. battles

[kayitsiz 621]

Ah, I've played Atra and Madness CP :wub:

Both of them are a lot better than Polygon...

[Loackie 269]

Dusseldorf CTF and DM: so fun even tho i dc'd so many times

 

Berlin TDM: Lost a 999 Berlin TDM but when I looked back it was great fun even though I raged a bit after.

 

Gubahka CTF: Great map to play on, even if it could be considered poorly designed.

 

Magistral CTF: I'll drop any mediocre battle under 60 min if I see a Magistral CTF.

 

Bring those maps back esp the last two

Silence used to be the most common map before, now I rarely see it at any time on any server now. It's a shame.
