Balancing the server

[Air]

Hi all:

We all know this is probably the biggest issue for having funny games, i dont start this post to beach/troll about it, but to give the regurals on server the chance to express their opinion (i hope this post will be hot one, else... )

We all know the only way to prevent stack is to be smart and go against it, so please regular players on server, if you see thats gonna happen change to the weak team even knowing you gonna loose the round, but maybe the match is worth to be played

I wait your answers ...

To the topic, i must say, that moki is the only player, that isnt in my friendlist, that changes sides without asking, but by seeing that one is weaker then the other... Its kinda disturbing... that makes 5 people alltogether... XD

I dont know why the way i see it the better the players u go up against the better u are going to get in the long run...(play vs noobs all the times and soon enoth you will become one) Thats what i think anyways.
Also a game ant wroth playing if its not challenge im mean surly the aim of the game is to complete the objectives and on a + side for yourself to get better.
There was a while ago i could remeber if i went up against Air i would died and he would still have say 40-60 health left now adays i jsut wait round coner for 3 other team members then kill him lol no now he usally gets up close to dead like 10-30 health on a gd day if not dead...

thanks lazy i told you long time ago you are a good player and improving, and yes I´m a kamikaze machine i dont care on waiting for others if there is a job to be done, a lot of red dots on my radar then there we go kill them all .....


The more a player kill you, the more you must try to kill him. When i was a kid () 11 or so, i started playing chess, i play everyday against the same guy and for 2 years i loose all the matches, now i can say: "i play chess."

I have posted most of this on other threads . Team stacking is a problem because it usually leads to an unbalanced game . Lets not even call it team stacking but rather that one side has more experienced players than the other . Sometimes it is very obvious before round starts that it will be unbalanced just by looking at the ranks . Or because you have been playing the previous rounds and nothing has changed with the teams . Sometimes even with a lot of the higher ranks on one side they still lose badly . I know rank isn't a definitive indication of skill but usually it is of experience at least . At other games it doesn't become apparent until midway through the game that it is unbalanced .

There are some players that will generally swap to balance the game and others that never will . One of the problems however is that if the sides are already balanced in NUMBERS (12 v 12 etc) you cannot actually move team unless you go to spec and manage to convince one of the other team to swap . Given that a lot of noobs and newbies don't even read team chat , there isn't a whole lot you can do except maybe hold back from contributing much to the game for your side. So I think one of the main things that might help is making the newbies read team chat . The noobs will just carry on being noobs . (The mission system doesn't really help much there either )

I said this before, enjoy the good games, forget about the rest, do your best for balance ingame, and dont let your ego do something stupid.

PS I change sides a lot , but i´m only infantery so i can really change fate of battle.

Meh. I think OMS is one of the few servers which often has balanced games. The basic problem on most servers is that so many people (including experienced players) chase objectives, so unless it's the Euro campaign, they join GDF. And it only takes 2-3 good players on one team to make the game imbalanced.

Due to the objective whoring,if GDF are losing, there is much whining, but if strogg are getting humped, most GDF players don't care as they are getting their precious objectives.

OMS is an exception as if a few of the regs are on, we'll mass switch to even things up (whichever way is needed) - those are usually good games. But most of the time I stick to strogg and hope what little skill I have can help :P
