Get with the Pines

[Yonno]

Wait Pollux you’re saying we’re never going to switch from Pines?

Ideally no, as was said before the map vote by Divey. We do not want the server feel like it's in a constant beta state. Dupes are vital to fearless and us constantly switching prohibits people from making large scale ones. I believe people just need assurance they can work on large dupes and sell them as we are not going to switch again.

"constantly switching" as in once per year? I wouldn't really consider dupes a factor whatsoever. A map change also doesn't create a feeling of "being in a beta stage" as it offers a fresh experience. Just like Pines created a fresh experience for me when i drove around for 10 minutes followed by me leaving the server because I got bored.

Its crazy how quickly people switched from "this is the best bet for a good map" to "what the fuck is this shit". Absolutely mental at which the speeds of the U-turn took place.

I still believe the people not liking Pines are a vocal minority. If you don't like the map you're going to be a lot more vocal about it than the people who do. As a result it seems like many people dislike it but in reality it's only a few. Pines still won the vote and people were told to check the map throughout before voting, no reason why there should be any regret.

People simply cannot get the same vibe of playing on Fearless compared to roaming around on singleplayer or with a small group of people. It's not comparable. Many people stated that we should trial both V2D and Pines to get an optimal view of both maps. 

Only time will tell where this'll all go, but it's only been less than a day and it's already going in the wrong direction.
