Players not voting for shuffling teams.

(Ctrix) #21

I’d rather join a server that’s half empty than as a spectator.

(Jostabeere) #22

Just force people to vote by killing them if they don’t vote. No vote? = Instagib.

(DeadAlive) #23

I would rather join as spectator, since it would mean a guaranteed full server. 8v8 is usually just the right amount of action. I don’t like playing with less.

It depends on the circumstances of the vote.
If it is stopwatch and they are calling a vote halfway through the game, I will not vote yes unless it’s a complete hold. Then, i’ll usually just switch to the other team and attempt to beat the time that I set.

(Glot) #25

i always vote yes, and thats why i always play my favorite merc…=)

(Backuplight) #26

Sometimes I’m on the winning team and also the guy calling the vote - and the people on other team won’t vote yes. I’ve also been on the losing team and voted no because I just didn’t believe the teams were imbalanced. It’s not always a case of people trying to desperately cling to their win when a shuffle comes up.

When you launch such votes, you should try writing in the chat: “That’s your last chance before we slaughter you!”.

People Voting after 1 Minute for Shuffle, Voting 100 Times in a row, Shuffle is done, People keep Voting Shuffle…

yea how about People stop Voting and try to play Objective…

Probably because most team shuffles happen in the middle/end of the game, rather than the start. Love when I’m winning on the second half of stopwatch, and then get swapped.

(Ctrix) #30

Even right at the start they never get through.

(Izzy) #31

Especially in execution where they renamed the shuffle as:
Restart map ???

(gg2ez) #32

Well, there’s always gonna be those people that are like: “I’m enjoying this stomp”.

Unfortunately, DB’s system is built to cater to those people - it needs fixes.

(Faraleth) #33

Me every time vote-shuffle fails:

On a more serious note though, I really wish it would simply have an auto-balance. If a team is 2 or more players down, for MORE than 1 respawn cycle, it will move an appropriate member from the other team from the next respawn cycle (this lowers the change of people being killed off in order to switch).

(Talak) #34

I’m just waiting on Splash Damage to start allowing players to rent servers and become an admin to deal with problems like these.

(XavienX) #35

I switch teams when I feel really bad due to horrible balancing. But if it’s just slightly off and I switch, the losing team will win then I won’t switch.

Anyways, I personally think team shuffle should just be on automatically during warmup.

(Mura) #36

Depends on the situation. For the most part I don’t vote at all. If I have to endure stomp after stomp because team mates aren’t the greatest, they should as well. Times I’ve voted on it was when its un balanced numerically, if the other team keeps on whining I’ll end up switching to try and help

(watsyurdeal) #37

I have no issue with teams being rebalanced in the event of uneveb teams, like 6v4 8v3 etc

But I do have a problem with a shuffle, because the teams were just madez and people start complaining right away. Man the fuck up and play as a team.

(god1) #38

I always vote no because the team that I’m on tends to have the advantage and shuffling doesn’t solve anything when the imbalance is caused by a single player.

(Aazhyd) #39

Game should auto shuffle periodically.

(Ctrix) #40

Just had a vote fail with 5/9 votes. GG devs
After which they proceeded to spawn camp our team.
After which the next vote failed as well.
