What do you think about autobalance by banner?

[Erika_Furudo]

It's <good>.

But somehowly so does always one member keep getting on the other side. Atleast it feels like it.

Autobalance by banner is great

I think it would be better if it only worked on people who shared at least two consecutive letters in their name.

In theory it's a great idea, allowing clanmates to play together but the implementation is bad. Balance shouldn't be made by banners, but by faction (you should have a faction field in your cRPG char page, just like in Strategus). If you take a look at the EU servers, at least 50% of the randoms are wearing Mercs or DRZ banner.

The balance system itself needs tweaking, quite often I saw situations when a team has 2 clans (10+ clanmates) and the other one is a bunch of randoms. Guess who wins 5 times in a row

exactly ! +100.

really enjoy banner balance, play with my mates now and also its fun getting used to seeing the people who share my random banner esp if their good!

I feel sorry for the.publics but for me no big deal if the_last_spamurai has to kill all of hospitalers/ats to get a win just makes me that much more pro(they were on same axe banner last night)

[Ronish]

NA_siege is the only server I've seen it on. Tends to lead to organized clan vs. mob of randoms fighting. No fun as a member of the random mob. Easy to get around by changing your banner to match the clan doing the winning too.

Not for or against it, but just pointing out a problem.

I think Banner Balance is a good idea.  It allows clans to work together and strategize on how to beat an enemy.

However, if a really good clan with tons of skilled players always fights against Random assorted peasants, people who are not as good, then it will not be as fun for them.

So I think for community, Banner balance is good, but for fairness, sometimes it's not the best.  Then again it also pushes those not as good to become better, which is probably the best reason to have it all in the first place, kakakaka

Here is no problem.
Even if one team will have (for example) real Gods in battle - 10 mans (who can beat 50),
then autobalance will move to other team those 50 mans. No problem.

P.s. even right now I playing 6 v 11 (all players have diff banner). So it's really not a problem.

Autobalance by banners is the best stuff added to CRPG since its beginning!!!
Teamwork!!!!

[Chasab]

i wish it was smarter. As it is now id say its 10% where both teams are even, 10% first round of each map and 80% one team is clan stacked and raping faces.

I wish you could put the current alliances/factions into a sort of Tier/ranking list to help make it so alliances of equal strength are facing against each other more often.

I agree with this. (Edited for ADHD)

Also, private "factions" should require a password to join, set by the faction leader.
