@Autismo . I'm sure most of you get it done within a day, but it is a just in case measure for people who are not chronically online
The reason that bosses are limited has nothing to do with space. We could have all the bosses if we wanted, but we limit it because of the download time before getting into the server for new players. Maybe it's been a while for me to remember, but before you join you have to download all the bosses before playing unlike the maps. Limiting them reduces wait time.
As for this suggestion this might be declined despite yes votes being majority, but I don't know for sure. Just a pre warning.
didn't have the intention of it being 1 day, that's a mistake on my behalf.
Also about the download times, the sound contents could be reduced by 30%~ in size, I'd trade losing sound quality for more hale quantity in a heart beat because I do not want to remove a single hale currently (except chuck) and want just a bit more than what the server allows, which I don't see much logic in since there's been a lot of exercises to reduce the download requirement already and there're hale concepts that don't even need extra quips like materials/models, just a piece of music funnily enough.
to bring this to a gameplay stand point, a lot of people here don't want to remove things based on what I believe, this is just my thoughts
- nostalgia
- gameplay
- humour
- history and reputation
I'd propose that if the hale limit was just disregarded, the file size naturally bumped up by half a gigabyte or even a whole's worth, I would figure panda would have more frequenters than it does currently, yes you'd lose a few new players, yes those new players would complain the download size is large but I wager that there would be more regulars as a result of the new influx of content and variety, because if the maximum hale limit was something like 55 than the 44 it is currently, there would be more toys to play with or enjoy; people who're burnt out or bored would find themselves coming back to see what's happening perhaps.
hell I bet somebody would suggest the player limit be increased to 32 players becuase of it, not even in the realm of positive thinking, just because of the fact that the ping is good, the content would be sizeable and the options would expand if you're feeling like playing something odd.
the 44 hale limit is a practice that's old, there're people who're willing to sit down and play on foreign servers, with terrible download rates as a result just because of the contents the server has.
the owner says think about the new players, I say think about the people who're regulars, play frequently and would be happy to see more on the freak fortress 2 servers.
you might "lose" new players but you're going to get more new regulars as a result of the content increase potentially.
I don't hate new players, I just dislike that I have to do this dumb eggshell stepping dance where I need to choose between appeasing most whilst offending as little as possible who use the forums for suggestions.
I also understand this being a on ice suggestion, but I'm tired of playing the same maps over and over again, say what I will about hales but the same maps everyday? no thanks, don't want that, can just do a mega thread about removing as many needless maps as possible that nobody wants to play on if this suggestion even gets the yes.
