Autobalance bothers me
« on: January 23, 2013, 02:25:01 AM »
Subject of this topic says everything. Maybe I don´t want to be a figurine where server always has the last word and change my color several times during one game. I want choose team by myself. Autobalance is so mechanical, unnatural and so on... Players know best how to make teams. It don´t have to be always the same number at each side... This game was better without it... Also the tutorial is quite useless... If this reads Jitspoe and admins of public servers, please think about it

The auto balance feature was put in because a lot of noobs like to join a team just because they're winning, causing the loosing team to have only 3 people and the winning team to have 8 people.

The tutorial map was put in to teach noobs all the different game modes and features in Paintball 2 including strafe jumping/bunny hopping/ice strafing.

I know why autobalance was put in and I still think it´s superfluous and doesn´t make the game better... I also know why tutorial was put in, but the same thing - it´s superfluous, nobody of us needed it... Why should we think any new players will need it?

Its an introduction for new players. People who have never played the game before can learn the basics of it from the tutorial. If autobalance bothers you a lot, get your own servers and change your own settings.

The problem I have with autobalance is that I can be winning the game for my team and then I get autoswitched and that just pisses me off. Oh and I don't even play anymore but still.

I would not agree with that kilo. Who cares about winning in a pub? I more or less go there for kills and to grab/cap on people.

I am often switching to the losing team just to keep the map going since when i do play its on a map that i like.

I play to win. When I'm not meddling cP in their excretory openings during matches, I'm taking a dump on the newbies in pubs. It's really annoying when those players switch to my team and then I have to play with excrementtay teammates.

Autobalance was one of the top voted features.  It's one of those no-win scenarios, really.  Without autobalance, players will just switch to the winning team and do other stupid things.  With autobalance, there issues as well... in any case, it's up to the server admins to decide if they want it enabled or not.
