Increase maximum points for player count #26

Closed Lejo1 closed 5 years ago

Lejo1 commented 5 years ago

The limit lays at 16 points and the limit for the average players at 4 points. The Minetest community has grown a lot so today are there much servers with more than 16 players. I prefer to double both limits to 32 and 8 points.

What do you think? Forum Topic

And which advantage do you perceive in this change for the sorting of the serverlist?

Lejo1 commented 5 years ago

In the moment there are much servers with the maximum points. So they should all be at the first place but they can’t. This will just sort this first place servers so that really the best server is at the top.

with 5.0.0 it's easy to have 20 players without lag, if you have just a baremetal mtg it should run with 40 players without lag

Lejo1 commented 5 years ago

Yes! And that’s the reason why the maximum points for the players should be higher.

I don't think raising the number of points is fair.

With the unrealistic high limit set at 200, I don't think this is needed at all.

So, for the last weeks "Blocky Survival" has shown often enough 40+ gamer and as I have been playing there for 5 days, building a base, farming, mine ... above 40 it is getting lag. Ok that depends on also installed mods and hardware, but

I see no reason 200 was chosen, as before was 16 (what was proofed is working at some servers), and 32 was sure possible (and proofed by Blocky Survival also), so even 100 is still too much .. but on my opinion, a maximum of 50 is until now enough as no server can proof handling that gamer without getting to trouble.

So set 50 or maybe 60 is enough, as so the listed server automatic sort better, when a "full" server looses points, let other a chance (a bit of haha, after looking that these days) - don't complain me, I have 5.0 server and don't take any gamers away - 3 days 3 logins ... nobody games 5.0 yet. But my tests show other things ...

When server can proof ! handle 40, 50 or than 60 gamer it might be used as max, but yet I don't see any server can handle it in real, and so should be punished with minus

The last change(Tune server ranking) did this changes(except the average points. So I’m fine with no more changes.
