The new maps are horrible and many players left the server. Please change back to the old map cycle. Thanks.
Which maps? I've only put one new map on from my collection and the response has been pretty great. If it's an updated map, then it's because those maps we're getting capped at around 5 - 10mins by attackers, it was too easy. I've balanced them for defenders a little bit of an edge but kept it enjoyable and challenging for attackers.
EU players didn't leave because of the maps, they just join the most populated server in the mornings/noons which usually is 63e since they have leftover Australia area timezone players on (they get better ping on NA servers). This is usually the case when NA's have a week or two off school/college.
Same thing happened with Thanksgiving week but everything went back to normal.
