I'm just gonna say my thoughts on this topic.

For starters NiDE has been losing players for a while now, It rarely is about the Admins on or Settings and more about the Maps we've been playing lately. For example, in the morning today we played Westersand v8, Westersand v7, Feywood, Ridorana and we maintained a constant player number that (when I was admin) we've been trying to hit for a while. NiDE a few months ago would've gained players on maps like Rocket Escape, Boatescape, etc. But there isn't a lockdown in most places anymore so not a lot of people feel motivated to play these type of maps. There could also be the restriction of Time zone, where players are usually playing at night and don't have the opportunity to nominate a map they like because we've already played it. I've repeatedly urged our current staff to remove CD at night and instead they came up with a somewhat decent solution which is lowering CD on FF maps and a few other maps, but not every player wants to play an FF map during later nights. As a player that plays during the later nights, I hate playing maps like what akadir stated, "HoldEm" and "Barrage".

 

Instead of trying to go towards the casual players, which are only a few considering that the only people that really play cs:s ze anymore are people that enjoy a challenge.

 

I do not believe reinstating a lazer map CD and highering the FF CD will increase the enjoyment of players at all, you're looking towards the smaller group of people rather than the people that actually enjoy playing FF maps, look at the player count between Wester v8, v7, Mako v6 and Tyranny, and the player count on Boatescape:

The player count started to rise afterwards and ended up with

Yes, this is a problem that could be fixed. I'll give a couple ideas off the top of my head.

• We could higher the CD of regular maps like this.
• We could add a casual map CD during a certain time.

I know these aren't amazing examples but with a little help from the Admin team and Players, we could come up with something that the majority of both will enjoy.

 

I'm way too tired to write up on the rest but this is just my opinion.

I think it is incorrect to compare online boatescape with FF, when boatescape is placed immediately after FF, usually when boatescape appears in the middle of easy cards, online starts to grow, and then players bet already heavy cards, because boatescape has collected 50-60 players. I also find it important to consider which cards are played before and after the card in question to assess its suitability.

cd for ff maps, no more two continuous ff maps.. we have it ~1-2 year ago and ppl go out from server, for solve it we delete this (u) idea and ppl inc more, but it was with pivo. Now no pivo.
i see problem that many admins dont know how play many rare maps in rotation list. If we inc cd for popular maps and ppl start play new rare maps in nide rotation... server die, bacouse - no one know how play this rare maps. Also admins come to server only if we play popular maps.

other problem - no one guide materia and boss attacks for new players, i saw that admins guide only on event. good players that know how play ff\materia maps - don't have problem and played it, new players don't know about it's and want that someone tell how play (and new players newer say "help"), so i see solution that always need lead maps, each maps (also like boatescape), don't wait when new ppl say "we need help" or "idk what do, i leaf from stupid server" or disconnect after stupid die like faildown or die on first boss attack, bacouse no one tell that first attack can kill ppl.
i think that will be good idea create here or on forum separato topic with guide for materia, boss and maps

for a change, you can use a stripper to introduce a couple of additional difficult or fun modes to FF cards, say some complex lasers or more Sephiroth with a laser in the middle of the card (so that players do not sit in one place and stand at the door, otherwise the laser will fly and kill them , maybe it will teach to defect on mako)  or for fun add same of rtv stages, but enable only if we won with good score, like 5-0 and ect

also many ppl come to ze from job, and want relax, need do something for that case (but don't repeat pivo case where he come from job and make ff nomlist)

also we can do more anime or other skins for invite more players for vip -> inc online

add Nide TV tourch light for usually players (cd 1 minute) with fun voices, like on unloze or like attached discord bot to unloze server with command !autism

also when new ppl take items, we start eban it's or transfer without tell how use this item, like say "u new stupid don't know how to use it",  after player is sad or disconnect

an example i see that no one take items and we fail round without items, maybe ppl cry pick up for ebans and transfers

and remove black color skins, this cheat) : skin color need for highlighting (green, blue, red, yellow or rainbow), no for tryhard as zm with bhop

many new players find it difficult to play for people, they are often zombies and even play better for them, die dumb, and on complex cards they are also haters for it (for example Rockly) and get a kick or ban

due to the fact that strong players often get protection from spawn like zombies, weak players very often appear like zombies, and it even seems that a player is only zombies throughout the map, and then they scold him

I noticed that after heavy cards the players get tired, and if the next card is heavy, they leave. Pivo had a rather unusual solution - knife fun after FF, which, although for 10 minutes, cheered up and gave a break, instead of installing atix, which most likely kills the server.

Dreaming defend.
1) ze_inboxed_v1_5
2) ze_greencity_v1_1
i remember that greencity have helicopter bug, and we can skip this 2 stages (from 4 stages lost 2 stages). Or make zm killer by stripper fastest then helicopter start lag.

Kickers: 
1) fail damage
2) no rifles and m249
3) no rebuys (one nade per player)
4) disable !flash (not need and it server can start lag)

when u add asiangirl to nide fastdl?
 i don't want download it on event time if it weight will be big.
