Deathmatch...

I understand the purpose it has, but it needs improvement.

[Yay, thank you!] Firstly, I like long games. I like getting immersed and making allies and evading death and fasioning my best equipment. I want to play the map - enjoy it. I'm not there to simply try my luck at winning the match. I want to survive! [ : ) ]

Also, I like the classic way of sending tributes to the middle of the map they were playing on. It doesn't take you out of the world. But those went on for too long, hence the change.

So put a time limit on the deathmatch on the map and THEN send us to the arena, where, by the way

Spectators should be made invisible and allowed to fly! It's very hard to get in the mood when I have to fight my way out of the spawning room, run around and jump over that fence so I can get a clear view of the remaining specks in the distance, fighting it out.

Again, I understand it's necessity, but it's a very jarring switch at the end of the game and could be implemented more intelligently.

Yes, but beyond game length, how should it end? Should the arena come out only when the final deathmetch runs too long, or should it be the default ending to every game?

I prefer shorter games giving more people a chance to play, because if all servers lasted say the full 1 hour, but all the servers started and finished at the same time, you would have to wait an hour to play in a new game, then you would also have to wait another hour if you die within the first 5 minutes.

Lightning movign in would probably create lag. I like what they have at the moment, because if you have a fishing rod you have a use for it and a higher chance of pushes someoen to their death.

Before the new arena, we didn't have every server lasting the full hour, did we?

I value the time I get on the map,. It's the meat and the adventure of the experience and it needs more time to be savored.

Everygame I was in lasted 1 hour. (Sometimes)

'Every' and 'sometimes' directly contradict. Anyway, they don't start and end at the same nor are all a full hour, so I'm confused what the problem is with what I'm suggesting.

I like some aspects of your idea and some others i dont
I agree specs should be able to fly in the arena too, without getting inside it of course
Im not sure aobut your other ideas tohugh But i will add i would also like that specs could see each other all the time and not only in the arena

That's interesting. I don't see why it would hurt. It may help identify Skype spies.

Yea i agree.

Spectators in the arena, definantly needs the fly mode, as right now i sometimes see people jump into the arena
totally distracting me, like the other day, i got in the arena, thought i had killed everyone and i started dropping my stuff like a baws.

When i suddently notice that the game didnt stop, there was one more left. which i couldn't see with all theese other names popping up on my screen. however i was lucky, the guy only had a wooden sword, but that's not the point.

- All thoose white names from people jumping up and down on at the fences are disturbing my concecntration.

I support this 100%

Does anyone know the actual time until DM for each size of server?

24 man- 20 minutes
48 man - 40 minutes
120 man - 60 minutes

Why thank you very much. I think any game needs to be at minimum a half an hour long. So who thinks 30/50/70 sound like better game lengths?
