Petition to remove the inability to select maps in free servers/return to last patch.

Signed.

Let us play, please. I don't want me and my friends pirate Q3 again, because I respect you. So respect me back and let me choose maps I want to play.

Bring back callvote map for public games. Whose genius idea was it to force people to use thee same maps over and over? I bet the justification was, this will force players to use more diverse maps. Ironically we just end up playing the same maps over and over and get stuck playing maps like industrial accident and inner sanctums which is an instant quit for me.

Only 10 more days to go until the next map rotation change. I'm hoping dm17 will be back in the ffa rotation.

OP, there must be literally 100's of other threads on the exact same subject. Why on earth make yet another one to spam the forums with?

My guess is because people don't understand how a forum works (Honestly, I don't understand how that's possible) and then they don't read the rules before posting.

Simple, id software has very little communication with it's community through the forums. Most of the very important questions remain unanswered. One topic will just disappear in the crowd of other topics, while important topics that are spammed atleast gain some attention.

So if they want to improve the quality of the content in the forums, they should spend some time communicating with their community.

I'm not a fan of this restriction but i can live with this, since i can play on premium servers too. However i would allow callvote map option for empty servers, just because: when i want to play a quick (public) game and find out there is only empty servers of the game mode what i want to play and each server has a map that no one plays, means not many players will join the server, so basically what i need to do is just wait for the map change before joining. So why not allow the player to change the map while there is no one else on the server?

[11:17] <Verletzer> I hope they remove that voting system
[11:17] <Verletzer> It blows.
[11:17] <Verletzer> But knowing them they'll keep it
[11:17] <@sponge> its not going away
[11:18] <Verletzer> And what about those ****ty map cycles?
[11:18] <@sponge> nothing is changing in that regard considering its been the most successful at getting premium cativity up ever in ql' shistory

Welp, these map cycles are here to stay. Might as well close this thread and ban everyone in it.

Everyone should read that last message. Fact is it is successful both from a business perspective (they can't keep losing money on this project) and on the players side for subscribers, as people actually use their pro and premium accounts now so it's more entertaining.

The only ones that hate this update are freeloaders and people that still haven't discovered there's a friend list.
