Breaking the game rules - does anyone care?

[Junica]

I couldn't agree more 

[Digglez]

this kind of behavior is just a natural reaction to siege being poorly maintained.  fix the door problem, get rid of the shit unbalanced maps...clans would be alot less inclined to 'abstain' if they werent on the team they wanted.

If the bugs were fixed and well balanced maps were used, clans wouldnt care what team you put them on if you put them ALL together.


Show server logs of the win rate for attack/defense on the maps, the vast majority arent anywhere remotely close to 50/50 like a good game would have (SC2, TF2, CounterStrike)

Njunja you should just abuse the system in anyway to get the multiplyer because alot of people (including me) are doing it.

i have seen 2 different clans wear the same banner and stacking in siege because "they are allies in strategus" (you might as well all be in one clan)

so pick any fucking banner you want, and if anyone ask just say you are the clan's groupie in strategus

I think I wouldn't feel satisfied if I would do this. Maybe the only solution here is to remove "bypassing" from game rules and let everyone choose the team they want whenever they want. I caused a lot of commotion with this topic already...

Oh come on, you guys are known for exploiting anything that is exploitable.

yeh like the old password system.

oh snap

There is some things, that admins just aren't able to control. You can forbid us to use some items, you can forbid us to go somewhere, but you can't tell us when we can play and when we can't.

That's why there are ethics and acting according to the spirit of the law as well as the word of the law.

NEVER EVER and I mean NEVER in their life EVER played first round on defending team

Thats our clan rule. Each first round play in atack [siege or battle]. I don't see in this point nothing wrong.

1. Make Grey banner available only to people who are really Grey members

+1

I think the autobalance/banner system works about as well as any autobalance system I have seen in any other game.

Which is to say poorly. 

However, in several years of online gaming I have yet to see a good autobalance system.


Sometimes though I think the clans should put more of an effort into trying to balance the teams on their own initiative.

Playing with friends and clanmates is fun and so forth, but often it becomes quite silly.

When one team consists of 15 or so clan members working together against the pubbers it simply becomes a slaughter and even on the winning team it is at that point rather droll.

Atack in battle ... really? ...

[Kalp]

Yes But usually it's random, but we try to be in one team.

On the bright side, one less dude taking Grey spot by using our banner.

There's a somewhat easy fix to this autobalance problem and it's been suggested once in the old forums.

Lock banners to respective factions (if there's a way to add more banners in the registry, I don't see the problem. Pubbies can still pick their own banners that aren't being used.), make a clan database where all members are listed and each clan leader adds their members on the main page. Keep everything centralized.

A lot more work, yes. But it would remove the problem(somewhat, the Greys would still exploit or rather, try to control the outcome by selectively choosing which rounds to play by spectating/joining back and forth) and make autobalance's job a lot easier.

Maybe something to be added in the future?

Naa, since banners are limited they should be free for everyone.

[Vibe]

Make 1-5 banners free for pubbies
