Re: What are high point servers?

Servers that run 64 player maps with 16 players in them.

Which really isn't no big deal, calculate the round time, with 4-5 rounds on a regular server, you get the same points. Just have to do more rounds - but time wise they are basically the same.

Only thing is your best round score would be affected if you did well...I guess.

I run my server this way myself. I don't call it high points though.

Re: What are high point servers?

no one seems to know...........i believe its a server that allows the round to start with less than the set ammunt of players (32&64=10) and/or higher ticket count and/or with a low player max on a large map size......


the ROE isnt clear

this cannot be true, perhaps if its less than the required ammount of players to start the round, but anything over 10 should be fine, and not counted as 'high-point'

Try doing a search, several posts already made on the subject.

Re: What are high point servers?

Sorry if I wasn't right, thats my understanding of it though.

No I do not allow the round to start with less people. Matter of fact I pretty sure if I tried that it would cause the server to go into UNRANKED mode...never tried so not possitive.

dont be sorry, the ROE is not clear.......that was my understanding of 'high-points' as well, until i thought of how 32 and 64 sized maps only require 10 players to start.....anything 10 or more should be ok......

i think it has to do with ticket count/ratio, and large maps with less then 10 players......

ive been on ranked servers before, where a guy leaves, and only 9 ppl are left, but the round continues....this isnt right

Re: What are high point servers?

I have scored over 200 pts in a high point server in a single round. i seriously wasnt even trying either

Re: What are high point servers?

Yea the only ones you need to stay away from are the No Armor ones....I think thats what the ROE frowns against, the 16 players on a 64 map is ok i think.?

Re: What are high point servers?

For the last time, READ THE ROE! You can have any map size/player combo! 64 player map on 16 slots is perfectly ok!

Re: What are high point servers?

If the ROE defined "high points server" in a way that made sense, we'd all be in a less confused place.

Re: What are high point servers?

I think HP servers are ones that have knife and/or pistol only, higher than normal ticket ratios, revive enforcement, and flag capture limits. Anything where the tickets do not go down because something, other than less killing/flag capping (which is what makes normal rounds shorter), causes the rounds to last long and people to get lots of points.

16 players on a 64 player map is perfectly legal as long as it follows the rules of any legal ranked server.

Re: What are high point servers?

high point server = 64 player map with low amount of player slots, such as 16. usually done on karkand.

they call it high points because with such a large map, and so little players, the rounds tend to last much longer, and should allow you to score more points. good for earning points and gaining IRA time requiremnts, but can seem kinda boring....1 hr round of karkand gets to you.

I think you are wrong in saying that. The only thing players can get easier is time requirement badges and best round scores. In a 16 player 64 size server, points are not obtained more frequently, in proportion to the round's time, than a normal server with the same slots as players.

The score per minute of those servers is much lower. Which means that by getting for example 100 points in one round that lasts and hour, instead of 50 points in two normal 15 minute rounds, raises your score just as much but makes your SPM go down. So if you played four normal rounds in an hour, you would get more points (almost double in an ideal world) than playing one round in that server.

Don't say that my opinion is set in stone; the ROE does not define HP servers at all. Who knows what the real rule is.
