Balance suggestion


(blisteringOwlNest) #1

So, when a 8v8 server is balanced 6v6, and another person joins, it sucks. A perfectly balanced game can be thrown off by an extra medic or engi.

So when a game has started, either have it so no one can join if it’s even, or so that people can only join in pairs I.e. If someone tried to join, they must wait for someone else to try joining too, then they join together.

Thoughts?

No, this is a really pathetic suggestion for the sake of preserving “balance” in an existing game at the expense of people trying to join mid-game. Which happens all the time

When I join a server, I fully expect to be able to play immediately on the next spawn wave and so should everyone else

People really care about balance this much in a casual match?

in quake everyone got kicked that didnt join in pairs, or took the spot of a spec that arrived first. same for players that were not top tier players. gosh i miss it, steam killed QL :frowning:

no point in DB imo but the idea is good!

@capriRocket what was your Quake alias? I was a quaker myself, but steam killed the game for me too. It’s the only reason I switched to Dirty Bomb!

I just want 5v5 min 10 servers, or something.
What’s the point of playing 7v7 on servers that are supposed to be the middle ground between casual and ranked, if the game is somewhat balanced for 5v5?
This is the big problem with these goddamn modern closed system shooters, where the community is completely at the mercy of the devs.
