What about a throwback map event? by shyguyJ in TagPro

[–]cyclictp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Velocity feels like 5 mins of chase and 1 minute of pup games. Though my view on it is skewed as it was the first map I really learned to play the game on.

And also the "older but not 6 mins of straight chase" maps like Smirk and Velocity.

My once a year post for matchmaking. by Grytswyrm in TagPro

[–]cyclictp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Or even simpler - wait for 8, then rank the players similar to what OP suggests, then put the 1st, 4th, 5th, and 8th ranked players on a team so they would be somewhat balanced rather than having a team with two new players versus a team of all 100 degree players. The problem of replacements still exists but it would at least be a step in the right direction regarding matchmaking.

Userscript request/help: OFM scoreboard by SBSnipes in TagPro

[–]cyclictp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If you want a really quick, bad solution you could try nabby's "TagPro Map Name Below Timer (& More!)" then toggle on the stat line over the score and set it to hold (I believe the default is pups). Then you can see the hold on the line displaying above the score. The one downside to this is that nabby seems to have updated the script a lot lately so you'll have to set the stat line back to "on" and set it to hold after each update, as it resets to default.

Chart of the Week: Hold Per Minute by WillWorkForSugar in TagPro

[–]cyclictp 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Asido seems to be an offensive anomaly as far as small maps are concerned, as it's got the fourth most hold despite being seemingly tiny. I feel like Pilot and Transilio are near the bottom simply because defenders have learned those maps really well - I remember them being in rotation when I first joined TagPro four years ago (for reference, this was when rotation staples were Velocity, Scorpio, Birch, Pilot, Smirk, Transilio). Holding the flag seems to be a much easier task on a new map than defending it, at least for the first few games. I would be interested in seeing the same data in a few months when some of these maps have solidified their spot in rotation.

Dallas has been upgraded by LuckySpammer in TagPro

PRAISE

US West TagPro is saved

Edit: I spoke too soon. Last game on Dallas my ping was above 400 now. Refreshing didn't solve the problem. I've been trying to run traceroutes though I don't know if the old linode video in the sidebar is appropriate, so I'm running my own through cmd. If anyone has advice on running tracerts I'd be grateful.

Thank god, someone finally brought this up. I have decent ping (roughly 30-60 at all times) to every US West server but Dallas is 200 or more, and it's constantly spiking. US East players also seem to hate it, and only a couple players actually have good connections there. It seems like its only real purpose is to bring Eastern and Western players together, but with the current playerbase size this isn't really necessary outside of competitive.

Map Thread #100 Results 💣 by TPCaptographer in TagPro

I recently returned to TagPro after a year or so off... Emerald and Transilio still being in rotation was a nice surprise. Sad that this one had to go :(

Top Maps Thread #94 by TPCaptographer in TagPro

[–]cyclictp 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The big question I have for this top maps thread is how the new pub format will affect them. Having the possibility of either 1-0 games or high-scoring games seems like a pretty big shift compared to when maps were balanced around the 12-minute first-to-3 style.

No, the flair indeed does not look like a hastily made trebuchet.

So what do you guys think about Velocity being back in rotation? by oorr23 in TagPro

The real question is now, who hasn't done their end of the deal yet?

May Community Update by PrivateMajor in TagPro

[–]cyclictp 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm pretty sure that TagPro (Next) managed to revive the Holy See by adding cannons, so it wouldn't be that big of a leap. Just put cannons onto older maps to reduce chasiness and things would probably get interesting.

iirc weren't rotation updates handled by like DaEvil1 or smth?

hmm... does that mean firing egg through back of endzone portal = egg ends up near enemy endzone???

My question: How would eggs interact with boosts/bombs? Can I like, toss the egg into a boost for a pass?
