TV7: Bring back replay and get rid of plr_nightfall, please.
Today's patch seems like it might have fixed some replay-related server crashing.. so let's get it back up on #7 and see it if sticks
Also for the love of raptor jesus, please remove Nightfall and replace it with another map. I don't know of a single person that actually likes it. It clears or nearly clears the server without fail when it's late.
Thanks

Well the server provider does get mad when they are asked to enable it and when it crashes the server they have to disable it.
As for nightfall, well I dont know.

It's less about them getting mad and more about having to wait for them to do it. We have to make sure replay is stable before we put it back on that server. Once they fix the new crashes, we might try it on TV3 or TV1 to make sure it is stable.

Except every time replay has supposivly been patched, it's worse than before. And even if it IS fixed, it needs to be tested on one of the lesser servers first before it could potentially be implemented in case it does still have issues. The last thing we need is for the popular servers to crash every hour or so like it would be if replay was enabled these past few months.
As for nightfall, I like that map. I for one love the challenge of payload race and would love to see pipeline and hightower's return. Payload race just has a poor/non-existant stalemate mechanic that I can see would cause issues for many people. At least the creator of nightfall implemented something to help, despite that it's not perfect. Personally, I would love to see the match end when the time expires, and the winner goes to whoever happens to be farther on the track at the time.

This is hard to be cool and suave while being informative at the same time. Goddamn my coolness.
In my experience, common sense isn't too common.

Re: TV7: Bring back replay and get rid of plr_nightfall, ple
I enjoy Nightfall with the right people on - the problem is that these days, half the team is composed of those with no concept of teamwork or objectives, and who are either too incompetent or too ignorant to help in any way. It isn't the map's fault :-/ This is sadly the case on nearly every map and server, but I think PLR is simply more prone to revealing these tendancies than almost any other map type, hence why it seems especially bad.
Replay can burn, for all I care. I have no confidence in Valve's ability to fix anything. For quite some time, the game has become progressively worse and worse every time they release a patch. Replay adds little except risk to the servers. I don't mean worse just in the "Wow, this content is stupid" sense (which is also true), but in the "Crash upon loading, crash upon connecting, crash upon disconnecting, crash upon exiting" sense. Today "fixed" a supposedly rare crash on exit. Several of the last patches have said that as well. I still crash upon exit every single time, and have for... I dunno... 3 months?

nightfall is awful and I agree.
the replay stuff well yeah be sure to make sure that's all up and running before enabling it again, making clips is fun and I've been recording my own personal demos again in hopes of catching some good play on servers that don't have replays enabled. It kinda kills it if the server crashes every 5 mins, though.

I love the replay feature. I could never bother with the long process before the system, and I had to already be recording at the start of my life, already expecting something awesome to happen. Of course, every life isn't awesome so now there's tons of worthless replays, and maybe one right one.

I think we should keep Nightfall on TV7. Doublecross on the other hand.......
As far as Replay, I'd like to see it back. But I'm not going to complain if constant testing of Replay doesn't jive with The Ville's schedule.

On-Topic: I would like to see replays back, but only when there is a fix for them. I don't want these servers crashing every 45 minutes.
peahats made this because he is awesome.

Replay is a waste - kill it with fire. The idea of making a system of recording and editing so that anyone could use it is sound in theory, but difficult to execute in this case.
As for nightfall, I can think of many maps I would like to see gone from 7 before nightfall. If you learn nothing else from playing on these servers, learn that some people here have hard-ons for really awful maps, and will defend them to the death (with the exception of Junction...I don't think the guy that made it even likes it). Long live Steel...long live the Republic

I will find you...and I will kill you

I'd get rid of gorge, due to imbalanced map design, but that's me
