Team Balance, Really???

**Gunny** · 04-12-12, 12:13 AM

Team Balance sucks. Tonight we lost 9 rounds in a row and every time I looked we were down 1, 2 or 3 players. Yeah it is because our players left, but who wants to continue to lose 9 rounds in a row?

I think as community and those of you who are on the team that is winning 9 rounds in a row and with a positive score should consider changing teams to help the other side and help keep player in the server. I sure eventually players will leave and not come back.

something was wrong tonight with team switching, I tried several time to switch to y'all team and it kept saying I cant switch so often? the only time I had switched was when I got auto ed the first time. didnt matter how many maps went by it would not let me switch.

I understand your frustration but many of us were actually trying to switch. I guess we can thank EA dice for their shitty interface.

would kill for a scramble team function each map...

I was pissed, not at anyone in particular more so with the game. But we really need something in place to help prevent this.

I was with Gunny and understand his frustration. Even while trying to function and coordinate as a squad with limited goals (so as not to diffuse our effort) we were rolled again, and again, and again, etc... by a group with remarkable skill. In fact, I was slain by an admin during this episode, which only added insult to injury. Our goal was to capture and hold alpha while pushing to bravo if the opportunity was there. As a Sl last night I was woefully ineffective. Nothing I could think of or tried appeared to help and even one strategy got me slain.

I do believe I saw Rhys switch teams, but this wasn't enough. At one point, the other team had two extra players. It's always been my opinion that you live and fight and do the best whatever the circumstances. It still is. However, I tried to remain positive and tried to be effective last night and it simply wore me out. The slay essentially ended the night for me. I could only take getting reamed so many times by the other team.

I'll still be on, but I could see how someone new to the TPG BF3 server might not return to the server after what happened last night. I will qualify this by saying that for me, last night was an unusual experience.

Was on the team that got pwned and pounded from 7-9 EST last night. A good number of the other teams top players at times were not regular TPGers (but were multi-level Col's).

I can echo Amadors comments. Nothing seemed to work. Couldn't figure it out either. It did indeed suck.

Sadly, I think it occurs rather regularly. The last time I was on the TPG server for more than 1-2 rounds in a row, my team had a 2-13 run. I've also been on sides where almost the exact opposite happened. It appears to be the nature of the beast. The actual winning and losing I don't care too much about since anything that happens beyond your squad is essentially out of your control in this game, but that seems pretty ridiculous. I'm not sure what the solution is, but hopefully this should at least generate some discussion about it.

**Mobi** · 04-12-12, 11:39 AM

Heres a solution if Admins have the power to do this... do a squad exchange switch one good working squad over to the other team and take one struggling squad and put them on the winning side..

**WickedSoN** · 04-12-12, 01:39 PM

Something like that should be done between rounds not during. Nothing causes rage like getting auto'd to a losing team near the end of a round... Also, this is not possible to do manually in procon, you have to switch individual players over and there can be NO switching if the server is full - its not as simple a task as it sound.
