you can do teamwork WITHOUT banner balance , i will always be agaisnt it because its not even balanced lol  ,  banner balance has 0 logic ,
playing with your  clannies should be reserved for mostly one thing : STRATEGUS

I'm not in a clan and I disagree. I use a banner none of the major clans use. So do a few other regulars. I like seeing them on my team all the time. It's like being in a clan without the pain in the ass of being in one.

So thats why that PIN is for? Team stacking? Would be nice to take it out I think.
I play, don't have a clan, and don't know if Ill enter in one, probably not, I got high latency in all servers, but still play fairly well.
But I for sure want to play a fair game with skilled players on both side.

Banner balance is imba.

Sounds like the only appropriate response is "Tough shit".

I read your complaint as something akin to:
I don't have a basketball team, don't think I'll ever bother with one, but I'm going to enter a tournament anyways.  Everyone should have a pick-up team of pubbies just to keep things fair.....
And I should be nice or polite to anyone.... why exactly?

But it's the opposite?? I haven't gotten into Strategus yet but that would be the tournament and the servers would be pubs..?

A big reason I also brought this entire topic up is because, imo, the multiplier is not a good way to gain xp... Its almost a lottery with the team switching and doesn't really cause cohesian of a team (One guy might have 5x while other has 1x)... Gaining money can come to a crawl when losing 4-0 several games in a row.. I'm still confused if balance is a goal of the game... The multiplier depends on one team being stacked more than the other to be effective... The funnest battles are those that are close by <5 people, not a crushing defeat of 20 people still alive...


Everyone might as well copy the banner of the clans server and join in order to get on the stacked team... Which I do see a good amount of actually.

Try countering with some tactics. Pick a banner, take the initiative, be polite and pray for some understanding.

GL  :D

^ That's truly all one can do I guess.. lol

The problem is that random ppl doesn't know how to play together and do teamwork. Everyone go in different direction, rambo, camping, running...

I'm not in a clan, but i like to stick with group of ppl from same clan, follow them and do teamwork with them.

Sometimes in siege, clans are the only one to protect the flag, random like to fight on the walls, or even outside...

I've never played a server where people split up as much or as often as on EU1.  No wonder range is having a field day.

Banner balance =/= the problem known as teamstacking.
the game will balance based on player KDR,etc and will have two evenly matched teams. If they work together using teamwork and yours doesn't attempt to/does poorly you will lose.
When I play alone, I carry a flag around and type orders repeatedly in chat until people listen and we start rolling the other team.

Usually if there is one clan stacking one team, there will be another clan stacking the opposite team.

No.  Strat is just an "extra" part of the game.  The standard servers are the standard game.

Then play casually with a popular (and skilled) clan banner, thus increasing the odds of being on the winning team.

EDIT: I also think that was bad luck, I rarely see Ty' with such a bad score.

I'm not normal and I don't pretend so, my approach is pretty much a bomb crescendo.
Death is a fun way to pass the time though, several little bullets moving in staccato.

When Strategus is back up clans can play with their clanmates and do great tactic and such there. Then bannerInbalance can be removed from the normal servers, or leave it on on one or two. Perhaps there already could be one server for "random play" now, for people who want to have equal/fair teams, while the rest can be for clanpeople and people who wanna play on the same team as their friends.

Re Edit: Exactly, if Tydeus hadn't been goofing off the 'stack' would have been stuck with an x1 multiplier  :wink:

Come to EU 1 its not a problem there i guess you just lack more players on the NA servers.... should´nt really punish the rest of the community just cause u lack a bigger variety in skilled players.

i would like to see 6 clan members on the EU dominate the entire server.....  :lol:

Not trolling or anything but its really rare we have rounds that ends up 5-0 5-1 maybe like once a day it can happen so no big deal.

That looked like a pretty fair balance tbh.
The non-clan tam had some really good playes like tydeus -- who went 0 - 2?
yeah, that was a fluke. You guys probably all split up and let them beat you ~_~.
Nobody on your team rallying them together? Grab a flag and lead them yourself.
