I like the 30 second idea too, but that wont stop people from stalling in the map.
Shelving the total re-work of the classes might be something that we should bring back, if the classes continue to be nerfed constantly then there's obviously some re-working that needs to be done.
Also while an overweight can't run from the boss, once he is hiding somewhere it will take a while to find him, worse if its a map exploit like the ones that pop up occasionally, remember the one where someone managed to get outside of volcano? Yeah that is even worse.
The test server wouldn't need to be dedicated and could be hosted from somebody's local computer, player limit would be something like 17 or 19, I know your not the person to speak to about this but I though I would just throw this out here hoping that Jetz or Pecon sees it as well, since I don't think its worth a pm. Like I said this idea is for testing stuff instead of just making the change and hoping it works.
Whenever I'm badspot or ephi, rocket men just push me around and don't do much damage. It prevents me from getting kills (which it is supposed to do) but at least I can't get stabbed
This is another thing that you guys should really take a look at, some of the fixes are based around badspot and ephi not being able to do damage or kill (looking at you runner...and samus), I think they need to be re-done completely, they both are basically jump around and try to kill or bounce around with the shockwave...
To get to the point, Badspot and Ephialtes in my opinion need to be looked at and probably re-done, new weapons mainly, and maybe replace Epihaltes with a new boss based on the development of Blockland Glass.
