New Map? - Discussion

[Pollux]

Can I suggest that it isn't done as a forum vote but instead as an ingame one?

What about players who don’t play currently but would depending on a map they enjoy that they’d return to play?

Seems like a rather stupid idea to cancel out votes from people who don’t play at the moment.

Don’t quite understand why you’d want an in game vote other than to block opinions of people who want a different map but don’t play, lol.

It's more to avoid what happened last time, where people who wanted a certain map convinced their friends to vote even though they had no intention of playing again. This occurring stops the vote from being meaningful, as it's no longer an accurate representation of the current active player base. The vote is meant to be representing what the active community thinks is best for the server right now, not what people convince their long gone friends to vote for. I do understand that some people who actually intend on playing against may not vote as a result, but I think that's a much smaller number than the amount of fake/inactive people who voted last time. Ingame voting will only require people to join and vote via the F1 menu, they can just leave after if they really don't like the current map.
