STRICT banner auto-balance and pikes with flags

[Joxer]

What I really hate about team stacking clans is that they have voice comms. I know for a fact that their dead tend to tip off the living about the enemies positions. That's cheating.
[Edit to add] This could be fixed if the dead view would be set to the setting that you can only view your own team and to the direction they're looking at.

Same banner, same team , always.!!!
At least turn it on (implement and turn it on) on some servers, if not on all servers.

Problem with current banner balance is that many times two largest clans are stacked in the same team, so there is one team with all the clans and second with pubs. It sucks and need to be changed.

Last update nerfed team autobalance whatwas really great for clans.  Agree that if two large clans appear they should be in different teams.

As long as one clan is in same team, im for it. Just let people play with their clan/bannermates. Makes this game 10x better.

The idea with one server having the banner balance and another one without it is a good idea. Also - there is one thing we shouldn't forget, concerning the leechers, as much as i dislike seeing random people using the Mercs banner only cause they want to win so badly: most of the banners are already taken by clans (so they dont really have much choice, whatever they take is some clan's banner, more or less) plus not all use the custom banner pack.

Especially when they warn teammates that are in danger to get raped. Thats lame.

This option you have in the admin panel.

Problem however is, at the end of the round, one guy hiding, clearly delaying the round, eventually turning it into a draw.

His teammates, lets say they have a good multiplicator, wont vote-kick him.

The other team, however,
maybe even some not so patienced admin, will kick him, even when he is not afk and trying to win the round with playing "smart".


Maybe we could try it for a while, see how it works.

But wait, actually I am retired. lol

Fixed it for you. Trust me, only 1/3 tops is taken by organized clans.

Yeah, but generally they only do this if they're in-game with you. If they're spectating you and warn you I would consider it cheating.

Not if you only use it to tell your clanmates if some retard is hiding or running, or if only one person is left. That's not cheating, it's more help to the people who actually want to play instead of having their allies run around the map looking for that one guy. Majority of players would probably tell their teammates where the last guy is on the map in order to refresh and start a new round.

[Spawny]

We're usually spectating eachother when we're dead to laugh at our fails.
When we warn people, it's 90% of the time as stated above: to tell where that last hider is.

I'm all for a stricter banner balance, but there should be a seperate option for people who do not want to play with it.
