@Vanya Can you change this to ze_sky_athletic_adv_v9_12s, I'd be more interested playing that here

As far as I'm aware Sky Athletic causes random crashes near the end of one of the later stages, so it's not recommended to go with that map.

Ugh, that's unfortunate. That map has some really good stages but it's not longer played on GO

 

I guess can you then change the kicker to: sv_friction set to 0.1 on lolxd (no readjustments), and only the 1st stage will be played.

 

Honestly, the gameplay with friction 1 is no different than 4, then again 0.1 would be enough to ensure humans can still time their jumps and have fun with zombie trying to gain speed from strafe, without making the map unbeatable.  The 2nd stage is pointless as well, way too easy. Also, however unlikely, if this overlaps with Unloze event, would be curious to see which server does better

So instead of increasing by 1 every 10 minutes we increase by 0.1? Or only set the starting friction to 0.1 and increase by 1?

Just set the starting friction to 0.1 and don't increase it. The trick here is that holds have a jump part, so even though zombies can gain a lot of speed if allowed, there is still that gap that humans can leverage. So as long as we don't keep losing too many players to jumps, falling platforms, etc. the gameplay should remain balanced. Also, 0.1 friction allows humans to stop movement completely, so even if someone can't bhop they would still have an opportunity to take time at each jump, pause and hop to the next platform (there might be some panic in the 1st rounds, but you get easily used to the settings)
