How to encourage map diversity?

[CavemanHost]

A suggestion inside the faf client representing a pre set team game to host, would encourage players to try a different map sometimes. But I'm not sure if it would get used.

I had an idea maybe that I'm not exactly or entirely sure which this suggestion was or if perhaps any added punctuation would improve the comprehension or understanding of people who might maybe be reading the previous or original post.

i didnt get either.

But i have a suggestion, what if we just pick a day of the week (or even few hours regularly) when we just dont play Gap, Setons and canis, etc.
Obviously cant force it, but can try making a post on FAF "whats new" page. Maybe we will get enough people to pick it up.

if only there were mappers to make up new teamgame maps for the vault!

I'm pretty sure that he wants the client to offer a fully set up game to host that changes every couple of days.
So when you think "what am I gonna host" you consider just clicking the button to get some variety.

You know I would kinda like a "host a teamgame" button that randomly picks a map from teamgame map pool and hosts it with default rules & random spots. Map should also show up hidden in lobby until game begins and rules unchangeable.

oh and I pick the map pool

==> almost teamgame matchmaker

Pretty much. But I'd have it change every X minutes.

Yeah sounds like a good idea, add in hidden names / rating as well and we would get some funny team games going. Maybe also add "hard rating requirement" so people under / over a certain rating can't join / see it so we don't get games with 0 rating and 2k in the same game.

I believe that what your looking for is an XvX matchmaker.

Yah pretty much got to beg the devs to finish the server transfer and make the map vault upload work again...
