Improving the CSGO server

Spent a great deal of time on the CSGO server and came to the conclusion some minor adjustments should be made to improve the server.

CS is already an unforgiving game, what makes matters worse is the shitty pay rate the game puts out. Coupled with the team switch at half that balances everyone to $800 it seems one never has spending money.
The server keeps people playing when there is an admin helping to balance the cash after team switch fucks over a shitty team. But admins are rarely on the way they were in CSS a year ago.

A few simple solutions to help the server keep players.

Make rounds 24 minutes up from 20. this gives people more time to build up funds.

or

Don't bring players funds to 800 at team switch. I never understood having two pistol rounds, especially when you spent the past 10 minutes building up the funds in the first place

or

At mid break when team switch occurs change everyone's balance to $4000 or $5000. It's almost like having an admin on, when there isn't one.

thoughts?
 
The way the server is set up is classic competitive. Minus the auto switch during rounds, the switch at half gives everyone a level playing field to experience both the terrorist and counter-terrorist sides of the map . The 20 minute map time keeps server rotation healthy which in turn keeps players in the server seeing as they do not get burnt out on a certain map. The map time at one point was 30 minutes and after looking into it, it was decided to drop it down to 20 minutes. I have not been very active as of late but I liked the way it was set up. We are not stuck on dust2 forever.
 
I agree with Globe, I was around when the last major changes were made. I'm sorry I haven't been on lately to keep things moving. Ever since the update the game has been unplayable for me, I'm eagerly awaiting the fix.

That being said... I like the money reset. I suppose we could up the money reward? I really think it would help to have more admins... but like I said, I have school + the game is broken. I know @WarFreakz has school as well. I just think.. hmm. I feel bad. The solutions you suggested are really drastic in my opinion. The best option might just be to up the kill rewards. 24 minutes a map isn't horrible either.

I think most of these are admin issues. I personally am very active, so once the game works I'll be back. unless you think that these issues are too big to ignore, I would wait it out.

Yeah that's kinda where I'm at, figured the only chance for having a change is to put it up for debate.

I'd be cool to stick with 20 minutes, but the money issue makes the rounds monotonous, especially on the loosing team. Again, you save for 5 rounds, boom, team switch. buy a gun, can't afford armor. buy armor cant afford a gun.
 
i thought there was a plugin to increase the money rewards above default levels?

if i were playing go, i'd like the money reset at half.

24 isn't too bad, a good compromise between 20 and 30min. although, personally, i'd prefer 20... but its not like i play GO (it crashes my comp).

yea, that's all admin to me. if you were one, that would deal with it :p But no matter. Maybe I'll stop by and at least spec. I personally don't want to make fundamental changes, that's all.
 
I agree with Hamas that the money output is low and maybe increasing kill rewards by 50% would solve the problem. I alos agree that when an admin is on the game is much better. Recently I have not been on very much due to college starting up.

I disagree with the idea of changing the match times, or halftime money reset. If we change it to 24 minutes it will make no difference at all in my mind to the average player who is going to spend all their money anyway. The halftime lets both teams play both sides on an unbalanced map and giving one team 4000 bucks to start their half on the bad side is unfair.

The only option I see is to increase kill rewards or team rewards for winning or losing. Anything else seems pointless to me.
