Title: CS:GO server?
Post by: tajski on May 15, 2016, 10:56:20 pm
Well, I have been advised do create such topic therefore here I am, making one. It is fairly straight-forward, what kind of CS:GO server would you like to see in Ambrosia? Is it FFA DM, Retakes, Surf or perhaps JB? Let those guys know in your posts.

I personally would be interested in FFA DM and maybe Surf.

Retake server concept looks like a temporary solution for playerbase but it can tangent to be ghosttown after too much usage. Least that happened in the other community :D

I'd jailbreak as there is hardly any english server, about surf Id say no because there are a lot of them.

I always liked 1 vs 1 server, deathmatch would be a nice addition too.

Jb based on player base brought to comunity.

DM is one of the least efficient servers to bring players to the forums...

For casual we will have take note of fragmasters, they are leading for years now..

Funny you mention that when the communities i'm at have at minimal 20 players daily from uk on the csgo jailbreak server ;)
That was the case back in 2013/2014 when I even told raven to use the opportunity to develop a functional jailbreak server to attract that scene before others took it. Now it's a bit late ;(

Thays what i saw on GT, until I joined 2 of them, both shitty and a total chaos.
But yeah, the number of csgo jb changed drastically since I last checked it.
And now that GFL has a JB aswell, dunno (It has 2-3 servers ranked top 20 on GT, and no longer than 1.5 years ago it had 3 for sure)

Surf & retake pls

surf will be a total failure, about retake idk what that is, and there was a new mod introduced in Mantruse's video.
I guess overused mods should be avoided.
Retake is a nice mod and probably one of the best candidates, but idk,

Surf won't be a failure. If it's done correctly, it won't fail ;)

There are tons of surf servers out there, what makes you think it won't (and we tried it already.)

I know at least 30 sur fservers that run correctly and fine. You should stop thinking of csgo as cs 1.6 m8

Yeah, sick.. You do know that we haven't even tried creating it? I mean, Pim got it to work but aye, the server was never released to the public and it wasn't properly tested so please stop whining that there is too many of them because I and two guys created a fully working server not that long ago and believe me, it's full of potential and expansion to be one of the best in Europe ;)

W/E, I think we should prioritize new and unexplored mods.

1 vs 1 is the best one to add coz it's competitive.

I remember when I first time suggested to get csgo in 2012, remembering replies that it will end up like css and 1.6 never will die..

Oh well, I wish someone would listen to me back then, we would easily beat fragmasters and ukcs servers just like that :D

It's far too late, however I belive with a proper aproach, making ambrosia great again everything is possible :)

You build house from foundation, so that step is done. I see great lads and I see much more great lads on the list who are willing to parcipate, so might be its not so late pl. Some things are just like wine. Not opened for years it becomes better and more valuable. :)

I can assure you with that big yearly experience in visiting jailbreak servers on multiple game platforms(from cs 1.6 up to experimental chivalry servers), the other communities are 5 steps ahead of us and will always be. Don't want to spread pessimism, but that's the realistic factor really.

Besides csgo was to die but valve adapted the marketing technique of using cs 1.6 professionals and shoving them in tournaments and interviews to promote csgo as being the successor of cs 1.6 than css. You had to scroll for pages how many css players were butthurt when their competitive scene dissolved due to ESL getting tons of cash to stop backing css and focus on csgo, even right now the csgo division at valve is mostly comprised of tournament managers than actual coders, and the occasional artists to make dank skins and sell them.
I mean valve used very similar traits as in tf2 to use microtransaction economy and lot of investment in sponsorship and popular forums that deal with cs to divert their attention to csgo, that's why it became such a big hit. Again, it did happen like 3-4 years ago and I'm not that familiar with behind-the-scenes of csgo for valve, at that time I used to visit csgo steam discussions and css communities that were transiting to csgo like ukcs.

However the main thesis that ambrosia supported was nonsteam and nostalgic audience, and rightly so nonsteam css was a total wreck unless you could endure russian css servers like I did before coming to ambrosia. And it was pretty expected in the 2012 period that replies were justifying that csgo is an experiment for valve which had high risks of being a total downer and money dump. It didn't turned out as the players of 2012 stated including me, plus the addition of cs 1.6 elitist that didn't accept anything other than cs 1.6 as being the faithful counter strike experience. Anybody in 2012 could have a computer that could play cs 1.6  and have equal fun as somebody else. And when new games come out, that specification queue increases which leads to some people having miserable graphics and others having superb graphics, like what is the reason to invest into a 12euro game to look at pixel graphics or something very poor(2012 momentum)

The main distinction I'm trying to put on the table is that this community was set back very hard, and the current playerbase is too little to have any reason to believe it can reach something, once was. Everybody can make promises and delay the enviable, on the contrary you can try to invest time and money into something because it's your resource to lose. I'm just disgusted over the backlash in the last 3 years of how this community turned from something incredible to totally laughable and satirical. Hence I moved on. 
And what you know, other places have different social curves :D
