This map as a ton of flaws and I don't believe it suited for ZARPS play type. The main issue is that its just to small. It has in total on of one area that would be possible for big gang bases. images.akamai.steamusercontent.com/ugc/5...D92885E2029B2FC73EA/
Another huge thing is that the map lacks a lot of key features that ZARP now requires. Such as a bank vault... Not the mention the map plagued with other major problems, like if you spawn a big prop in the mines it will instantly crash the server...

Ah yes, there were plenty of votes for a mapchange to Bloc42 and it lost all of them. Its clear that the majority do not want bloc42 or it would have won one of the votes wouldn't it?
I don't know about that, even the post for the map vote was biased in favor of rockford in the last vote.
Not to mention them linking the incorrect version of the map, which is by far the worst of the 4 maps that were up for vote.
And after all that, it STILL managed to get a 38% vote share.
Your ignorance never ceases to amaze me. How can you say the vote was biased towards Rockford when it very clearly states in the thread that we wanted evo city. If there was any biased it was in favor of EVO city. The community deiced and it wasn't even the map that the lead team wanted at the time. Aspect wrote:
Wheatley i believe that about every server i can see on the list hosts on either rockford or downtown. Why can't Zarp be unique. Therefore new players must play on this server to play there favorite map.
Also i don't think Rockford would win as players have gotten to know the map and it's not that good except that it good some decent RP houses such as the bank.
I still believe that Rockford was picked mainly on it's name and not the actual map.
This is another good point about why going to the map would be a bad idea. Its a well known fact among DarkRP server owners that players prefer rp_downtown above all else. You can see this very clearly illustrated if you check the top servers on game tracker as most of the DarkRP servers are downtown or a varent of them. There would be a big risk involved in changing to this map, as there is a large possibility that newer players wouldn't want to play on the map(as per the slandered in DarkRP) and while the players who already play ZARP would probaly play the map, there is no telling if we would be able to maintain the new players we need inorder to continue to grow. Rockford was one of those maps that a lot of players also liked witch is why it also works so well for ZARP.
Last map vote Rockford WON twice.... TiGz reset it the first time and then the second time it won again. Exrobite wrote:

Why you always talking shit ? You do absolutely nothing for the community besides have a negative attitude on things. Not one time have I ever seen you put your opinion on somethings that good for the community.
Not to mention, with our new and always increasing amount of Explosive Weapons in the game, it will cause issues on such a small map. Orbital striking the bank would most likely kill everyone in the vicinity of the two NPC's and spawn, we've essentially just grown out of Bloc42 and it's obvious that it isn't a popular map in the eyes of the community looking at the two recent map votes.
I agree with exro Rockford was hyped up way to much by various members
But to go back to bloc we would need to go back to old zarp and since then zarp has rocketed through the ranks ending up in the top 10 so the lead team are clearly doing something right
Well i guess you're kind of right with bloc42. Mainly beacuse of how small it really is. I think that downtown has that aspect as well. As you might know when you raid the double glass doors. There are nearby bases to be affected by the explosion. I'd like to hear everyones opinion on Evo city aswell as from what i've seen it looks like a good map based on most needs Zarp has.
No, The Lead Team has always had this suggestion. It's clear that the community doesn't want it to happen, Plus if we change map again then less people will join possibly.
The reason people don't want to change it is because weapons like the hand cannon, thunder gun orb etc will make it way to easy to raid bases as the buildings are smaller and the map is incredibly small. Its been suggested since the map has been changed and it's been denied every time, if there is any time for it to be even less likely its now.
you always manage to 1 shot us even though you're extremely exposed in the open and you shouldn't really have a chance to kill us. You just make these crazy 1 taps not even Hermione did when he played, and I can tell you he played 18 hours a day at one point.
