Enough with the Teamstacking

[Turkhammer]

Join a clan, or play on the 50 man or another server that has banner balance off.
Easy solutions.

Fix it so the clans don't get all the gold and xp, even easier solution and maybe more fair.

[Memento_Mori]

Banner balance is one of the greatest things in this game, it sucked very much when I first started and was rarely switched to the team with my brother.
Would be nice if it forced a clan vs clan kinda thing and not a clan+clan+clan vs random pubbies and random assorted excluded clan members.

all in all I enjoy banner balance but I guess I'm biased because..

1. I'm in a clan

2. My brother and I enjoy playing games with each other not against.

3. I enjoy being able to throw on a banner of a friend or clan and roll with them

[Gurnisson]

Some people simply want to play the game without others getting a huge advantage because of who they associate with.

Like saying teamwork shouldn't give any advantages...

iwarn people even when your death

I'm death. And usually I don't warn anyone, really.



PS. This topic in TL;DR, same as any other of this sort: I'm a pubbie, cba to join a clan and incorporate teamwork in my play, fix the game.

if you see a certain clan dominating the battle server or siege server all the time, put on their banner, not hard. there's nothing that says you have to actually be in a clan to use their banner vOv

[Turkhammer]

True enough Bear.  Now, let me see what banners the other teams are using when I'm spectating so I can switch.

[BADPLAYERold]

Put on any banner except triple hogs and prepare to be at x5 every round.

[Corrado_Decimo]

Without banner balance, clans would bitch because they can't sit on x5 all day long. Sadly, there is no real way to balance this out.

and last but not last, some clan cheat autobalance at first round by doing Choose Faction, Spectator, Choose Faction until they're all together, cheating autobalance for good.

Bitch, bitch, bitch...

Whine, whine, whine....


I'm the best, i have all my heirlooms, i'm level 35, and i'm a god at blocking, but damm this guys use teamwork against me, it's unfair!!

[Corrado_Decimo]

Enough with exactly the same whine topics on this matter, read previous ones instead of making another one of your own.

Why was this downrated?

touche?  why do we even need banner balance if you and your guys keep fooling the autobalance by spec rejoin spec rejoin route?

i'm too plain sick of joining a siege in the morning with 20 players where 10 are greys in one team and 10 in the other (with 2 afk, 1 leeching without weapon, 3 lowbies, 2 griefing and actually 2 playing)

you have your eternal x5, fine... you even want people to shut up?

I guess you have proof of this behaviour, you know it's a bannable offense, so you can make post in the dedicated forum section.

[Nessaj]

People who do not understand banner balance haven't understood this game at all.

This is not a game where you sit alone and play, you logon and play with people...

If I couldn't use a specific banner to play with a friend (or my faction) I would never log on to play again, it is already bad enough that auto team balance pretty much (not all the time  but almost always) ruins every chance to do some proper training together, due to switching one of your top players over for balancing. It sucks to be the one who gets switched because then the rest of your faction is planning and being tactical on TeamSpeak and all you can do is just run around and lulz...

Teamplay is pretty much the core of this game. Why would you want to end that in favor of randomness and loners?! Disgusting.

I don't know why you guys rammed his first post into the ground... He is understandably frustrated at being a new player and getting crushed by organized clans...

That said, most teamspeaks I'm in hardly use teamwork but they DO get on the same team so better players on one team.

I recommend getting a well known banner if you feel left out

oh so i should install FRAPS, get in a morning siege, record, mixdown avi, upload on youtube, make a thread about it? no thanks.. i just finish my coffee and go back to work leaving the kids play in x5.

pity we have really few admins.

good idea. we all put on a scimitar on grey background banner so we play siege with team 1 full and team 2 empty. genius!

You know...most of the time that doesn't actually work. Once you get in a team, unless you waste half the map trying, no matter how many times you go spec, you will stay there.
