Shuvon Gaming Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Team changing should be open on Marathon server. I love GDI & this server force me to play as Nod sometimes. Its annoing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Totem Arts Staff NodSaibot Posted September 17, 2017 Totem Arts Staff Share Posted September 17, 2017 (edited) Actually the CT forum is pretty dead, and the admins check here pretty often so its fine. And I'm pretty sure the devs are going to disable the 'time lock' on team swapping, so its fine. Edited September 17, 2017 by Sarah! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
djlaptop Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 There have been several games where it's been 5 vs 2, 7 vs 4, etc and nobody's been able to switch over to balance. I'm all for preventing team-switching but not at the expense of playercount balance. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jpjtyld Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 I understand why team-changing was disabled for the first few minutes, but permanently locking it even when people are trying to swap to balance teams is a really dumb idea.

swaffelen Posted September 17, 2017 Share Posted September 17, 2017 Some people try to circumvent the disabled team changing by joining and leaving until they get on the desired team. I've seen MARIUSZ doing this constantly this weekend. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Pretty much this -- the setting is being abused worse than EKT abused the mine limit settings, and so it's being removed. You still will not be able to switch teams prior to the match starting though, which was a legitimate problem. If we ever add it again in the future (big if), then we'll have to clamp the values for sanity. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Playing on maps which don't even support 40 players (majority of them) isn't abuse by definition, yet it's clearly butchering the tactical aspect of the game. Make a max player limit for each map or something, don't want play a brainless shooter in the C&C universe. Snow with 60 players on, are you nuts?

This game is suffering as it is. While you make a point, it is impossible to make a max player limit per map, because what if the next map is higher than the current player count? While you could assume they could disable joining until it reaches max player count, it doesn't make much sense. And if it's on snow, the majority of players voted for it, so oh well. 59 minutes ago, limsup said: While it is true, I wasn't here in those times when EKT still existed, so I am unaware of the backstory of this particular "incident"...

It's abuse because they never intended for it to be that high. The original purpose of the setting is defeated by the way the admins are using it. Edited September 17, 2017 by Sarah!

boxes Posted September 18, 2017 Share Posted September 18, 2017 If a limit is to be set on the team switching, then I feel that immediate swapping should only occur if a team has a 2+ player advantage. For example, 10v10, 10v9, 9v10 all should require a player on the other team to swap with you. Only when its 10v8 or greater should the game switch you over instantly 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
