Abusing the balance on EU2 at first round.

[Fips]

I don't know where to put this, so i thought it should be placed here.

There are some clans (Or orders i should say...<.<) that magically manage to be on the same team even on the first round to screw things up for the defenders/attackers (Depends on map, ofc) even more.

Is there any way to make that impossible? (BANHAMMER ^__^...jk :O)

Actually, if one joins early or waits to click his team he can join the team of his choice.

Not that hard. Doing it DURING game on the other hand...not so easy.

Meh. I thought it doesnt matter what team you choose at the beginning, balance just puts u randomly in one.

Sometimes.

[Fips]

Sometimes.

But they are always on the same team.

Always?

[Lt_Anders]

Always?

never use always.

[Mala]

Not always, but they switch quite often to spectator mode and back to get in the right team.

Meh that's dumb. Though I can't say I haven't done it. If I don't get the team i like, I just spec for the round. Rejoin at end So balancer switches me(hopefully) or just stay spec.

[Fips]

Always?

Erm...yeah?!
Okay...sometimes there is a poor guy getting switched to the other team in the 2nd or 3rd round, but i was talking about the first round, when banner balance should not work.

Actually Balancer works first round 2. Only reason you don't see it is due to the slow joining of people. Because of that, the balancer has to "balance on the fly" so to speak. That's the reason why you "Can't" choose your team.

I've tried it in the past. Never works for me. Regardless of the server. Once I've been put in a team in the first round, for some reason it's impossible for me to switch even when I go to spec or it's another round. Works as it should as far as I can see.

But apparently you can choose it, as you can see on the servers.

@overdriven: Yeah, it rarely works. All you can do is to try it for 30 seconds and get lucky. =P

you can easily abuse the system , especially in siege , but battle works well , the key is not be part of the balance  by going spec  , and as soon as its balance arrive choose a team ,

  In siege you can offense 100% of the time with the trick or close to  , in battle its trickier but you can even out the balance by going spec if you got a good kdr , they will put a good player in your team ,

 Thats how it work and how easily it can be fooled ,   one fix would be to remove team choice and put SINGLE LOGON  like it was eons ago in CRPG

 edit : please all , abuse the mechanics it will force devs to rethink the balance system
