They will learn Halp. They will learn. Already I saw players starting to organize in such ways that I alone was unable to turn tide of battles and got my ass kicked few times... Though that could be because it was quite late and I would be better going sleep than Running With Rifles

Anyway - many of them started to use Vests (hate those things in PVP!) and they started to use Famas/L85 which also can hurt a bit. If they keep learning at that speed, soon we will have to find other "job" Of course there will always be Noobs that will make everything to be selfish. Nice to have such target practice ^^

Weekly minimodes match on {SAS}Minimodes server every sunday 18:00 UTC/GMT !!!!

Anyone?

Another typical PVP game. I start winning and the other team switches over to join my team, screwing over everyone who didn't switch.

That happened also yesterday. Green team only had 2 players and others 4-5. I was gray and leadng. I joined green to balance game and suddenly there was 6 players while other teams had 3-4 players.

Team sharing does not work too well. Often last round top 3 is on same team in next match.

Yeah I've definitely had that happen before, when I keep switching to the losing team, and when we start winning the same people switch to the winning team, again.

Here's another unbalanced game, as they mostly are nowadays.

Why I said "I like pants"? :0

uhhh..... because you like them... ............................

I work quickly, cheaply and qualitatively. You can choose only two of the three options.

hmm.... OK then.

Here's some more of the consequences of having persistent stats based on XP or kills.

After not getting any player kills for a while I checked the scoreboard to see why, and to my (lack of) surprise, the entire other team had switched to my side.



Ok, so I try another server. It's 3v1 so I join greys to make it 3v2. After we start winning "Rulic" joins greys so he can run up his stats.



And again, this time with "Honor us few" and "Sneak" switching to gang up on the losing team.



This happened in basically every game I played today. But this board limits to three screenshots, so I'll leave it that for the screenshots.

In the next game, we capped 3 of the 4 bases almost immediately, causing "Scheiden" to switch to the winning team to rack up more easily kills. In between those games, I tried another active server. When I joined it was 19v19. After I backdoored a base and we started winning and I checked the scoreboard again our team had more people, 23v19. We were greys so the default team for anyone joining when the teams were even was greens, and to my (lack of) surprise again, people switched to greys.

The funny thing about this is that if you're some noob who just joins the game and isn't good enough to single-handedly turn the game around, the team "balancing" mechanism guarantees that you'll join the losing team and get crushed. It's pretty much a guaranteed bad experience for any beginner who doesn't go with the crowd.

I tried playing again. Naturally, everyone was on the same team and when I joined there was about 10 seconds left on the cap timer for the last base.
