Rip me spawning at -4k 4kPosted on 07 May 2016 - 07:05 PM
Or just limit the slots, i don't know. I feel like having 800 player games and being unable to mine blocks is stupid but i do also like the Idea of a bigger map.Posted on 09 May 2016 - 09:33 AM

If we make it 4k border we'd be adding an extra 30 minutes to each game meaning they'd be 3 hours apart. This is what the times would look like: 12:30pm, 3:30pm, 6:30pm, 9:30pm UTC.
Anyway, my point its that if we make all games 30 minutes longer more people may not be able to play the 3rd UHC let alone the 4th
I don't get this, there wouldn't be a need for less games? An extra 2 shrinks would not increase the game time by 30 minutes, only 10. In normal games the 100 border is at 1:30:00 and they are over by 1:50:00. An extra two borders would mean they would last 2 hours instead, meaning everyone could still play the next game.

I'll explain myself a bit more.
Firstly, I didn't mean there would be less games, I'm saying that game would need to be moved forward half an hour each. Moving these games forward half an hour each would mean that the final two EU games would be much later, meaning Germans (who are an hour ahead) or even people from BST may not be able to play.
Now, 'they would only make the game 10 minutes longer'. Lets say I start my game at 12:30pm UTC, some of my games (more of the team games) wont finish until 15:30pm. Adding an extra two borders would extend the game to make it finish at around about 15:40pm UTC. To players they may think 'oh that'll work, look it finishes before the next game starts but its not that simple…
Us hosts open the games about 15 minutes before the next start, adding an extra 2 borders would mean we'd only have a 5 or so minutes gap between closing one game and opening the next. The 2 and a half hour gap between games was introduced so there was a time period between one game to the next. In other words it'll make it unfair/ very hard on people to double host, possibly reducing the amounts of games being hosted.

Yes and no. I mean we could have a 4k border but on first shrink, have it shrink to 2500 possibly so that the games stay on track? Basically the increased border could just be a gap to let people cave in peace a bit and not constantly have to worry about being jumped.

Any updates on this btw since Gberry said that this would be considered and looked into? @LENAvisionPosted on 30 May 2016 - 12:04 AM
This Thread Banged. Happy I could pitch in a good idea to the community. I still think this should be implied but to certain game fillsPosted on 30 May 2016 - 01:57 AM

Wouldent that just mean more lag tho cos more chunks for people to load
