Server Map Change Vote
FYI
Your vote will mean little to nothing without posting a reason, or explanation on WHY we should change to the particular map
You Will also state why not the other maps

Re: Server Map Change Vote
rp_city45_2013 was one of our most successful maps. All we really need to do this time to ensure that it is successful this time is figure out how to mitigate the potential for rebel circlejerks in D6 that take away from plazaRP, and I have some ideas on how to do so.
I would actually be okay with rp_city17_build167.
rp_city8_2 may have a stigma attached to it. I don't think I'm the only one who looks at our time in City 8 as not the best time for TC.

Re: Server Map Change Vote
Arg..... Enough with the votes for different maps! We already decided the next map which would have been I17 because thats the reason people voted for it in the first place.
In our lore we left City 45 and City 08 for a reason and just going back would be stupid.
We know the layout for 45 and 08 (even if some things are a little bit different) and knowing all the places would be no fun because there would be no fear.
You're in the plaza and have no worries because all the badies are in the slums and whatnot. In I17 they baddies / rebels could be anywhere. Turn a corner? In a dark ally? No CCA around? thats the fear RP and Plaza RP we should have.

Re: Server Map Change Vote
For obvious reasons stated in previous threads, (I will add them in with a citing) I vote I17, it has all the elements we need, and all we have to do is simply block off extremely unnecessary point of the map for now, until we have more money to up the player cap. They will have IC and OOC reasons of being blocked off.
The reasons why:
https://thecrew.forumotion.com/t1442p15-my-speculations-of-population-and-what-tc-can-do-for-the-future
It has an excellent realistic and large layout to the map, tons of great elements and places to be. Even though a select few of people thing that the map literally offers no value, it does, otherwise I could just say lets go RP on gmod construct. C18 is old there is literally no reason not to go to I17, it is a lot better than C45 and C17_Build 155. People want this map, and it's not a bad change.
Slash is 100% right though. It would also benefit his idea. There is no direct slums to I17 and no direct plaza, they merge into eachother.

Even though C45 was pretty successful, a lot of people including me would like to see I17 its a nice looking map and could help the pop again be high.

Re: Server Map Change Vote
Forever alone in voting for City17. I really think the map is impressive, and it could even be considered a "warm-up" kinda map if I ever get my C17 map finished. Then we might switch to that with approval from you guys. The only "problem" with City17 is there are no slums - just sewers. But it has that C45 feel, and it isn't ridiculously large like C18 or I17.

Well the reason for me voting this up is simple. After looking at all the other servers that seem to be doing well (Pop wise) they all seem to be in I17 yet there is not a single server that has a high average pop on C18. As for C45 I only saw a few of them and the ones I saw were only at a mediocre population level. So wanting are server to survive, grow and therefore prosper I chose to vote for I17 as it really is the best map for us to go if we wish to grow. City 18 has seen a good amount of RP but it has really just become outdated and... well its not the best anymore and no new players are coming that want to stay with the exception of Commi (If someone else joined don't kill me as I have not met them at this current time).
Due to that main reason we really should change there as soon as conveniently possible.

The reason I voted yes, is because it's a new map, it's a popular map, and it's new, I have to agree with CallChaos, City 18 is old and outdated, I17 is a newer map, and it's popular, a popular map could draw in more members since well it's popular. I've explored this map, it has a lot of potential for us.

After listening to your recording a few separate times I couldn't honestly agree anymore. I think if we're able to manage atleast a small population at times until we work up to 30 slots then we will begin to repopulate. I think a map switch could go either way. Either it's popular and attracts players, or it goes unnoticed and we only get a few players. It's worth the try though, we should never stop changing our server because change is what draws in players. I may beable to even start donating soon once I get a new job and when I pay of all the christmas presents for family. Anyways, feel free to add in or disagree with what Im saying.

Well it's pretty obvious that C18 is out of date and just isn't the most popular thing for the server any more. Change isn't always a bad thing, and we can switch maps at any time if it doesn't work out. Why not explore this as another option? If we want TC to last, I say we change the map to see where it takes us.

I think that switching to I17 is the best decision we can make at this point. C18 is not working out. Why? I'm sure City 18 was an excellent map in it's time, however, by today's standards, it is outdated. I never liked it to begin with. The artstyle is nonexistent, the layout isn't very practical and doesn't offer many alternate routes or locations. Also, 85% of servers run C18. Most players are bored of this map. It may be a classic, but it's the wrong map for The Crew.
The RP on C18 is very stretched-thin for our population - I've had to walk around for 30+ minutes to find any RP. While I understand that Industrial 17 is far bigger than C18, in fact, it's the largest HL2RP map to date. The artstyle is very good and has that Beta charm to it. We're thinking of sealing off certain areas to keep the population in check, so RP can be found with ease. The blocked-off locations may be opened later if we increase our server population cap.
I'll admit, I17 is a very well-done and solid map. Even better than the maps I create. I think that it will be easier for me to link TC and TTG together on this map, as we could consider I17 as the "Industrial Sector" of the City 17 map I'm working on, so we'll have a far more expansive universe spread across two servers without spreading out the canon too far. We could even have citizens sent to the Industrial Sector from the trainstation to be put to work. We could have industrial goods shipped in from I17 to my C17 map in an event-type thing.
Overall, I think Industrial Seventeen is a great map choice for TC, even better than C45.

The map change is on hold. If we are to switch, it will be to I17.

Re: Server Map Change Vote
rp_industrial17_v1, because It's a very nice map, I've played on it, there really isn't many areas the resistance can really hide minus one or two areas, the plaza is nice and big, plenty of shops for the CWU to take, and a few apartments for the citizens to live in, and the Nexus is really nice big and, well, intimidating, as it should. It has these stalker canisters that can transport people from the plaza, and into the nexus for detainment. Imagine a sweep being called, the ground shakes, the citadel in the skybox releases scanners, the OTA troops can ride an elevator up into the plaza, and you can turn the sweep noises off. When rations go online the map announces it, and there's a theater, where citizens can watch Combine propaganda. It is a really fantastic map, and it would be great for us.

Re: Server Map Change Vote
It seems all the regular players would like the map change, if c17 industrial is a fairly common easy to download map I don't see why not.
but its a real turn off to try and join a new server for the first time and see that little grey and white downloading box that takes FOREVER.
If that issue can be bypassed, I see no reason why not.
c18 was fun, but I do remember it getting kind of stale. It had all the basics though. Nothing wrong with it.
People just know it too well.
