Operation Hyacinth back to the 762 server ?

[Hauggy]

Hello there !

I just restarted playing regularly and I noticed that one of my beloved FH2 maps went missing.
I am talking of course about operation Hyacinth, I understood that the map was now fixed and is more than playable without the minefields the italian vehicles etc...

Can we do a new poll and hopefully bring the map back (the more the better).

I know that this map is not popular but it would be nice to give it another go since its now different from what we started with.

Please give your thoughts and vote here :

The results can be seen here :

I'll get the results and read your comments i'll give it a month to have a maximum of answers.

P.S. If you don't want it back please give good reasons and give your ideas on how to make it even better so you feel like playing it again, also please give these ideas and reasons in this topic as much as you can so the devs can see them.

I would on my side suggest the removal of the pioneer kit to make the tellermine a pickup kit or at least limit these kits so only a very few players can have them.

Welcome Hauggy

I'm part of the small group that loves Hyacinth to death too. However, we've had a lot of feedback on it over the years and a good amount of it has been bad.

A while back 762 had a vote:
http://fhpubforum.warumdarum.de/index.php?topic=720.30
(I can't link the thread directly so I'll just link the feedback thread where this was discussed)

The majority of players on the server decided that they didn't like Hyacinth in it's current incarnation so the head admins decided to scrap it from the rotation until it's been updated. I kinda have to agree with them tho; Hyacinth, when it was in rotation, was just boycotted half the time it was on. People would stand at main and complain until the tickets ran out and a handful of people raced to the first objective just to get slaughtered by the whole Italian team.

I'm still for keeping Hyacinth out of rotation until it's updated, but that's mainly because I have the knowledge of what's been changed on it since 2.48

I'm pretty sure someone's already listed a few of the changes here before, but without saying too much, I think you'll enjoy our next update

Dear matt thanks a lot for this complete answer.

I thought that these changes were already done but it seems 2.48 didn't fix all the problems, so I can't wait for that long awaited update.

Btw you don't need to be so secretive about it but I suppose i'll be even more grateful when i'll discover what these changes imply. :p

I imagine that I can give up with that poll and just wait for the update as most people will probably tell me to stick hyacinth (at its current state) were the sun never shines lol

Matt linked to a thread where I posted my thoughts, and I still have the same opinion

But yes, change is gonna come (to Hyacinth), so let's just wait for next update and we will all enjoy Hyacinth like never before!
