win/loss ratio is tracked?

I said 'should be tracked', dunno if it is. But player specific information about whether they win or lose is obviously sent to the database to change their xp/gold gain accordingly, so shouldn't be impossible to track. They had some funky statistics a while back about the amount of total damage dealt by each weapon, so who knows what else they are tracking.

I think that is a bit much to ask of a mod that will probably be dead this time next year (given the devs get in beta of Battlerounds atleast) and whose main devs don't play the mod for years now and are deep in toughts about the new game.

I am mostly waiting it out so to say at this point and savoring the sweet last moments of cRPG.

I play in a clan for friends, the multi is just a bonus.

The balancer in cRPG does need work, not for the purpose of multi's necessarily but for gameplay fun.

The steamrolls that happen can sometimes be quite ridiculous and cause people to get tired of it and log off, often making the problem worse.

Interestingly enough - I do not think that BANNER BALANCE is the problem in and of itself.
The problem is that after putting clans together on one team or another, it does not always properly balance the "randoms" around that.  It should always be seeking to balance the average points and KDR's of the people playing, so that each team has roughly the same cumulative score and KDR going at any given time. It should place people on a team with their clan, then determine how balanced the result of that was, and balance the "randoms" based on that to further even things out.

** One thing that I have suggested is that the server use the player's KDR to balance them, regardless of how they are doing that particular round.  This is especially important in battle since it only balances one time after the first round (of course I agree with SaulCanner that I wouldn't mind it balancing more often.  For siege, the system would need to start keeping track of a players KDR there and use that (or just use the battle one).

K/D ratio depends on your teammates alot. no teamplay in team => low k/d(not many points). even 1-3 players who know how to play can help (and even if u lose 90% u'll get valor). many teamplayers => u'll rape another team
all this about mele(mostly siedge) +)
ps sry for my engl

When people say autobalance is shit I can't resist to remember the double xp days when battles like 120 vs 120 often have been ending up with 1 vs 1 duel...

[Nehvar]

Nothing like the autostacker putting you on "the team that can't possibly win" for three maps in a row to extinguish ones desire to play.

Massacres happen regularly even without clans tipping the scale. Usually depending on how much one team splits from the blob, a gank either way.

This! On Wednesday Byz were rolling eu1. not because they are super hardcore elite players but because they stuck in a group and the rest of the players followed. the team i was in? despite losing 3 rounds in a row they split into 4 different groups running in different directions. Balance cannot make up for human stupidity

Or, you can try and find some way to enjoy the game without dedicating your attention to the multi. Focus on what you are doing as an individual and enjoy your own prowess/fun/whatever. I agree everything in the mod tries to distract you from that, though.

i like to fight regardless of multi but a steam roll doesnt allow you to do anything but get ganked by 10 players

Nothing can change human "stupidity", but most mass clans do a hell of a good (and not really intentional) job at creating a concentrated blob of seemingly organised players. Other players see this and naturally gather because even though when left unattended they sometimes naturally split in many groups, they still want the team to be in one group, the only thing they lack is cooperation.

That is why siege exists

[Just A Random Pizza Guy]

This is a teamplay-based game. Regardless of the lack of balance The whole point of a clan is to implement more teamwork. If players are forced to be on another team than the faction that they are in and in TS with they'll probably just bro-code or something similarly. Clans bring teamplay, but take away balance. To be entirely honest I'd rather lose a shit ton, but have fun than vice-versa.

I usually play siege when im low level (i usually ragerespecc so level 28 is Max) my guild mostly play battle. I do not benefit from guilds banner balace and still i normally get to keep my muliti for a long time. I dont tend to troll around like many others do on siege. I do whats needed to win so i can level up. Guarding gatehouse is not the most fun job, but if u ceep it open u might save ur ulti
