RIP balanced games. Shame about those rank 10+ servers.

Ranked is sh it awful unless you have a premade :confused:

Yup. Played a couple of games over lunch. It was me and a guy who was level 19 who was pretty OK with a bunch of level 1’s vs. a team of level 1’s with a level 7. The teams stayed even with a full server the whole time so nobody could switch. It did not go well for them.

Also, at the end nobody got credits or experience for anything. And it wasn’t the visual glitch from the past where you’d still get them. I went back to the main screen and my missions didn’t update nor did my credits. Hopefully that’s not a common occurrence.

ranked is not working at the moment unfortunately xD
when it’s supposed to start it just says no match information recieved, searching for new match (but it also doesn’t search for a new match^^). Gave up trying after ~10times

Teams in pubs should also be sorted by level, stacking is really an issue!

Very few things are working right now due to the amount of people playing.

That’s great!

When teams are stacked I usually just go pistols only, maybe try a couple of trick jumps. Let the level 1:s have their fun (but school them a little bit)!

Yeah we had that in a lot of games as well. Though we said that it was that common bug. Maybe not. :<

If only it worked…
Been trying to start a match for half an hour now. Something always breaks down.

6 K doesn’t seem like enough people to stress stuff out

more than the few hundred that were playing during CBT

(Violator) #12

Had a few games last night (though it was hard to connect to a server which had real players on) and had a few good games where there was one or 2 non level-1’s per team, but it was a bit of a stomp otherwise, though some good players in the new batch. Was trying to show them the ropes and a lot of players picked it up pretty well in the end.

One thing that could help is, in Objective, having the server choosing high levels in attack. It’s clearly harder to attack when not knowing the game than to defend. Ok it’s not possible in Stopwatch but at least put the high levels in attack for the first round.

(Szakalot) #14

so you want a system that stacks teams on purpose?

Map-bias is secondary to player bias. Two good players against a team of newbies will destroy them, regardless of which map is being played. Also, some stages are attacker-friendly (underground).

we just need a proper auto-balance system

(-PogS-) #15

Of course my suggestions are when the autobalance can’t even teams in term of high levels.
For example when there is only one high level, put it in attack rather than in defense. or if 3 , 2 in attacks and 1 in def…
I am not sure Underground favors that much attack. Maybe a high level could ninja plant yeah…
