well that was amazing and hysterical. the server straight-up crashed under what seems to have been 'there are too many players all shooting eachother oh jeez oh no' stress
here's what i got out of that first test run
1: randomizer players are actually really into the original map
specifically because it's easily camped and rounds are slow and grueling, and it actually would probably make perfect sense to make a new deliberately-bullstuff randomizer map and possibly split the server into two parts (call one Fast randomizer- that'd be this one, the chaotic and smash brosy clusterforget- and one Slow randomizer, which is the one that existed previously)
2: people are either baffled by the concept of or are very much not used to the idea of everyone getting into a big fight the instant the game gives you control, and are even less accustomed to the concept of examining the environment before the match begins in order to figure out where bullets are likely to come from
i'm talkin with wrapper about ways to help mitigate this and the first thing that comes to mind is simply making it so that at the very beginning of the round- during the countdown, out of the 5 seconds before the round starts proper- you're given 3 seconds to get into position with a very fast playertype before stuff starts flying around and ideally you would place yourself where you don't immediately get shot
this might lead to interesting conflicts where a bunch of people who spawn near a key all try to beeline to the key immediately but then when the round starts and they begin fighting they're all mushed up against eachother and they instantly devolve into a big cartoon fight cloud
except i guess with rockets
3: this map is probably best suited from anywhere between 16 to 24 people, and 32 people makes it even more of a clusterforget then it should be in the first place
4: the server can
literally not handle the amount of bullets that are put out the instant the map begins
that's the goofiest stuff in the world to me that's the best i can't believe it
