What I got for now... I have played these maps on other servers before and think they would fit perfectly in Skial, give it a try.

-Replacements!

1. Military Zone v2b - http://gamebanana.com/maps/195702 [Updated version of Military Area]

-Request.

Please if you guys can, remove vsh sky high resort please, the map is very limited in size noticed how small it is, also vsh_pruvia_v8_fix is also bad, almost everyone rtv the map and nobody wants to play it.

If you want to remove anything remove oilrig. Skyhigh resort is a good map but the number ammo and health packs is stupid.

Sky High is not that good, very small and almost can't get away from hale when trying to do any form of damage depending on the situation.

Where is Lolcano and farm?

6. Vsh_Pumpkin_Fort_V2 - http://gamebanana.com/maps/189787

These maps were suggested before and haven't been added.
Bottiger said he would take a look and add the maps suggested in the thread if they are popular enough to be added.

Zelda_ww was added in and removed shortly after because it was unpopular, please correct me if I'm wrong.

AlexCookie over at tf2maps.net made this one and it looks really well made, I wouldn't mind having his version on the servers.

@Slippery Nipple
What do you think of this since the current version of military area on skial is your map edit?

Skyhigh_resort is popular enough to get it's own 24/7 server on skial so do not expect it to get removed anytime soon, it doesn't matter that you don't think it's up to par with your standards of what a VSH map should be like, the map is playable and played a lot so it will most likely stay.

Has nothing to do with my standards, but okay, just overall observation.

Just bring back warehouse and will be good with the world. Give it another chance please!!! :*(

 

[Pepe ツ]

Most of these unpopular maps that were not being played or they got rtv`d a lot of times!
Maps you may remove (unpopular):
-Pruvia;
-Powerup;
-Oirlig;
-Turret Testing

My maps suggestion:
-Reservoir;
-Pumpkin Fort;
-mountanbash;
-Brewery;

 

[Meowcenary]

Zelda was removed because it was lagging the entire server

There were also a lot of other problems with the map

VSH has two versions of crevice, it wouldn't hurt to have both versions of military area on the server also. I fear removing the current version outright will result in some complaints...

Turret testing is one the most popular maps we got right now what is wrong with you?!
Also mountain bash just recently got removed and reservoir ain't that great of a map.

 

[Terrapieseven]

fix the lighting on turret because it's fucking impossible to see anything
add streets at least
re-add warehouse and cairo
also remove pruvia

 

[Meowcenary]

re-add warehouse and cairo

Those maps were likely emptying out the server and / or the maps were being picked very little

Unless the map has regained in popularity on other servers proving its becoming popular again, it's not likely going to return.

 

[sw®d]

from what i remember (keep in mind this was a couple years ago), cairo pyramid v4 was pretty popular for a long time before the update to v8 ruined the map for a lot of people.
nowadays i don't really pay attention to that maps stats but maybe giving it another chance is worthwhile.

 

[CEO MICROS]

The maps we need to get rid of is pruvia ,powerup, oilrig, and turrent testing every time we go to those maps we instantly rtv them
Playing on skial for 5 or 6 years the main maps that were always on rotation were warehouse, millitary, weaponsdepot,cairo pyramid, sky high.
Im still a little bumbed about warehouse being bumped off while oilrig is still here like tf XD

 

[CEO MICROS]

im new to these skial suggestions :relaxed:

 

[Percilius]

Just a quick question, if the maps are removed from vsh would it be the same for ff2?
Also if we could just add warehouse back for about a week to see if it is popular then that would be nice. :)

Oil rig was readded because it picked up again with its popularity, at least on other servers if I recall correctly.

I could be wrong on this, but I think if a map is removed from VSH, it would probably be the same thing for FF2 also. I couldn't say for sure since I never really play freak fortress, but I assume when he removes a map he removes it from all the other servers as well.

Many times Bottiger has given once removed maps a second chance, despite the game wide statistics showing the map is still unpopular. Rarely does the map start filling from what I've seen. Lots of players request maps to be re-added, Bottiger will point out the maps aren't popular, the players still want it anyway, and Bottiger sometimes gives it to them and Bottiger almost always ends up being right; the map / server just doesn't fill.

It's just a unfortunate reality, some maps just don't fill anymore. Even if they were once popular, they can suddenly die out.
