Only admins being able to use mic/chat during map voting sounds fine, and I know a lot of servers already have that. This will stop players from mic/chat spamming during the map vote. I was going to originally say that leaders should also get unmuted, but through past experiences on the server, I’ve seen leaders abuse this plugin and mic/chat spam. Leaders should also be muted during map vote. If an admin feels that they need to unmute the leader to tell hem what to do, they can just unmute the leader.

 

We already have this plugin just for the admins, so they can get on and punish players as fast as possible. This is the whole point of why we have AFK manager who kicks AFK players only. If spectators start getting kicked, this could kick players who are not AFK. Some of the players like to watch others play and learn from them. If they sit AFK, the AFK manager will kick them to let another player join the server.

 

HP advantages, we should stay away from. If players start with more HP than others, this would be 1. Very unfair, 2. Pay to win, 3. Breaking the game. Unfair because most players start with 100 hp, and if some players have over 100hp, they have a better chance to beat the map. We want keep the game mode fair for everyone, and no player should be getting more advantages than the rest of the players.

Issue with this is people leading not being able to speak, and may cost the server the round. People influencing the vote is going to be happening no matter what we do, but making the amount of people who have power to speak may help with the micspam a bit.

Why -

This would only cause extra delay to warmup rounds, as humans can get super far away from the zombies/hide. It may be possible to make it to end the round after like 1 minute or so, but this would require more talk/discussion

 

What -

If a ViP is attempting to join a full server with no available reserve slots, spectators that are not ViP, Sub or admin will be kicked first.

Why -

Kicks the afk and allows more players to join.

People may be sitting in spectator in order to help the team out, and as midnight said, we have an afk kicker to deal with afk users while the server is full. Any admin online can and is encouraged to kick afks should the plugin not be working while the server is at full capacity.

 

What -

ViP levels with icons stating the level. 1 special model obtain at certain vip level.

Why -

Additional incentive for consecutive months/years with a subscription. Show off how long you been a ViP.

Dont understand this suggestion too much, and it seems more of a community-wide suggestion than a server-specific.

 

What -

Regular = 100/100

Sub = 125 or 150

ViP = 175 or 200

This would make the server a pay-to-win type server, which we like to stray away from.

 

What -

Why -

@Agent Wesker. Not really sure what you've been doing with the rank-based models lately

 

What -

1 lucky winner

ViP and Sub have monthly automatic drawing for 1 random prize.

Why -

1 lucky ViP can win a skin, 1 lucky Sub can win a game.

I will point you to our raffle section

 

What -

A small amount of credits awarded after being vip for x amount of months/years. Amount increases slightly as time goes by.

Why -

Incentive.

More of a community suggestion than server, and dont see much need for it as you already get a credit bonus on the servers.

 

What -

Random

Just why?

Don't see this working very well, for example my map has a closed off spawn and trigger opens a door so you would be literally stuck in spawn.

Also people get mad already at getting muted during votes

This is technically impossible due to all maps working differently as @Darnias said, also most people hate warmup rounds

Currently it kicks by highest ping, so we could work out some changes if necessary (however need to be careful to keep it non discriminatory)

I understand this but it goes beyond just ZE so we will have to turn it down for now

This is a solid no for the reason above

If you click the locked item it will say the requirement(s) in chat, to avoid cluttering the menu

I wont beat the topic to death as all of your points have already been addressed above me, however the truth of the matter is that the majority of the points you've brought up just simply wont work. I value your suggestions but at the end of the day any changes need to be worthwhile.
