I like being on the other side because I like a challenge (which is why I keep declining, serge!) but its  satisfying when they lose and half of them rage quit after 3 maps. Oh yeah! Representing the Chaldean gaming community who don't do anything but play games and work in family liquor stores!
i agree with namo

also is OP talkin about battle or siege cause I mostly play siege where this is non-issue

Personally I don't give a flying fuck who's team I'm on, or how well my team is doing.

BUT I'd like to point to everyone that says "I like the challenge" or "It's not a big deal it makes you better, and I do it" If you've been playing awhile, and you're above average you shouldn't have an issue. But for the new player that doesn't have a lot under his belt, and is struggling with repair bills, and just trying to find his niche and character set up in this game, it can be very overwhelming. Obviously no one uses teamwork as previously stated, but how is average joe schmoe supposed to inspire randoms to team up against the Harlem Globetrotters.

The only advice I offer for new players, or people who generally upset with banner balance is this: 1. Switch your banner to their banner. 2. Find the top guy on your team, and follow him around, he's obviously doing something right.

I becomes quite obvious in this thread that I need more peasants to couch in the back.
For while the fire in the heart of a single Remnant still burns... can Stratia truly have fallen?

Honestly this is not a big deal...

The banner balance has some flaws but overall it's pretty good. If there's 4 "PRO" players it will put them together, but give the opposite team enough equally good players to compensate. Let's say the 4 "PRO" players are all 5:1, and there's no equal players to balance, then it will give the other team 10 3:1 or 2:1 players as compensation, and give PRO 6 killess peasants to make up the # balance. The PRO guys might be good, but it's tough to make up 1:3 odds against decent players.

What the banner balance can't account for is the teamwork premium that organized cgroups can use as a positive force modifier effect, but these PRO guys aren't good teamplayers anyways they mostly just run around as courser cav, cheapshotting peasants and other useless perimeter players.

I was on battle last night and I certainly did not see the PRO team consistently winning, if anything they were losing more often.

The biggest problem is that the balancer can't check who's a peasant and who's not, certain extremely good players who could give anyone in PRO a run for their money could have a bad round and suddenly they're balanced on the good team further stacking it on the basis that their KD is 0:1 and that they're useless peasants.

I was wondering about that, if auto balance takes into account player level, and recorded k:d history, or just 1st round performance.

Why whine?
Like peasants, they die with a lance in the face


Anyway, it's pretty much a continuation of chaos, so nothing will change

Nah it just looks for w/e banner you have and clumps you into one team

Normally the first round, people with the same banner will be on opposite teams, but when the round ends and "autobalance" (I feel stupid calling it autobalance anymore, should just be called autostack) kicks in, pretty much all of the people with the same banners will be put on the same team.

I honestly thought banner balance was a joke by the devs to show us that the balance we had at the time wasn't so bad, because a lot of players would complain about it. Then it stayed.
