Infection has had some good stints, usually based around when new maps get added. The player base slowly fizzles out due to the lack of content and then the long wait for new maps continues. Infection has some issues, which I’d like to address with this thread. The Prestige System It's too small, other servers thrive off the unlimited number of ranks, they make more incentive to play and compete for the top spot. I'm not the first person to suggest this and I probably won't be the last. Add 100 Prestige levels, now every one of these does not have to give you some op zombie perk, in fact I think most of them should give you nothing. 1-10 should stay the same, prestige 25 should give Gold boots, 50 Gold helmet, 75 Gold chest plate, 100 Gold pants. These should be enchanted to make them slightly better than a normal chainmail zombie. The gold armour is purely for flex purposes. Extending the prestige system gives a massive content boost to the server meaning players will have to be more active to get anywhere. Weekly Leaderboards Pretty simple suggestion, gives week to week incentive for players, not just the unobtainable main leaderboard that new players will look at and be unmotivated. Shorten time between games We play infection for the games not the lobby, shortening it to 30 seconds would increase game time and make more room in the day for more levels to be obtained. More maps, more often. Maps should be added much more often, Sliding the role of choosing maps over to the MV Build Team will ensure a much more fast tracked time for when maps are added. The Build Team is perfectly suited for this role with a lot of experience in what makes a good infection map, we can detect glitch/boost spots long before the map makes it into the rotation. Quality control will be greatly improved so MV will look like it was built in 2020, not 2012. Fix reaction rewards Pretty much what this thread says
support covers it perfectly. infection was alive and healthy the first few weeks even months of it being reset but the updates didn't continue. no new maps and everyone being maxed out ruins it.
supporttt, having all-time leaderboards is only good for the OGs that can get on there, not friendly for new members. once you reach prestige 10 there isn’t much to play for so no one plays it anymore. bring back infection, it’s such a cool concept it’s sad it doesn’t get played anymore ;-;
Support! More prestiges and more maps, please! There are so many map submissions on the forums. By including more maps made by the players themselves, this will definitely draw some activity!
Support, we DESPERATELY need a revamp. Infection is currently boring as not much is happening with it, it seems like it has been left to die with time.
Support, we REALLY need a revamp as it is 1 of the few gamemodes in which u actually need a decent amount of players to have fun as u need 5 to start a game and like 10+ for it to be fun and active. More prestiges and maps are needed sooo badly.
@Noobcrew Support. The problem with this though is that without maintenance and frequent updates, it will die again which is why we also need to get large youtubers to promote the server. It's been said before but this is the only way to keep up the player count. There's a lot of potential for this, but it needs to be done right which is why I think the old infection players should be consulted imo.
Well with a new influx of players there's bound to be a new influx of hackers and attention which could definitely cause some problems here and there. So proceed with caution imo
