So about that banner balancer........

[Ecko]

Sorry about the ATS domination....we play this game to play as one...we have no other place to do it other than the 80 man.


I'm trying to work out a solution so everyone is happy. But right now, ATS is paying 100 bucks and was paying 200 bucks a month for the servers...only now do we get to play as a clan and we are getting our fill.

Well what's it like on the LLJK server, or the Hospitaller server?  Do they not use the banner balance?

Well I never play on the LLJK server for obvious reasons (see we agree on something Gorath!).  And on the Hospitaller server I do see it sometimes, but it is most pronounced on the ATS server.  I believe this is due to the fact that the 100 man server is larger and the Hospitallers appear to be fewer in number, so the team stacking is much more rare.

[Deathwind]

I wouldn't mind one server being clan only. Keep clan stacking to a minimum on the public-accessible servers, please.

[Braeden]

So, let me get this straight.  You'd rather not be allowed to play on the NA 80 than play on it?

Personally, I quite enjoy fighting ATS and their death machine.  It gives a whole new layer to the game.  I'd also point out that I have seen the opposing team roll the ATS-stacked team more than once.

I think the TFO server does have banner balance on to be honest, but we don't really play coordinate things.

You should hear the morale crushing collective sigh when it happens too.  It'd probably warm your heart

Just make it so that banner balance only puts so many on one team, like 80%

Does the NA 100 man siege have banner balance? It should.

Yes it does.

So we're trying to discourage skillfull players now? The auto-balancer maintains the balance so that not all clans are on the same team if they are dominating; some get switched to balance it out. Sure it's still a little hard because ATS is a skillful clan, but that's what makes it fun. If you cooperate with your team and form strategies by finding weaknesses during gameplay, you should still be able to put up a challenge. THAT is the definition of gameplay, imho.

I've yet to see the "balancer" do this.  It balances based on kills / banners the first round, then 1 team dominates the rest of the map.  Maybe you get a good balance going with 3 wins to 3 wins and fighting for the map win every 5th map......

I've ended up actually against ATS in most of the pug matches.  We do ok and split wins since I also have my clanmates working with me. 

What multiplayer online game have you ever played where clans did not play and work together on pugs?  It's the only practice aside from the real deal.

Hahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha.

orly?

And there we have it.  Every build, weapon, item and playstyle has been done to death.  Now on to "NERF TEAMWORK!!!!"

Thanks OP, made my night

Ya... that was pretty much my thought as well. Keep in mind, the sword cuts both ways. There is more than one major clan out there folks, which translates to more clan v clan match ups. By having the same-banner-balancing, you have more organized battles and less "lets run around like chickens with our heads cut off!"

It should be noted that I am not a part of any clan.

[Rogue_Eagle]

it works for you?

me and my clan mate are lucky to ever land on the same team.
