Hello This evening I had this terrible experience with the auto-balance feature on the servers. I'm not even dead yet, so still alive and walking around. Then suddenly I drop dead and I get thrown to the other team. I have nothing against auto-balance, but this way of doing so is very frustrating. It happened 3 times in one evening today and this isn't the first time I get thrown 'alive' to the other party. I don't think this is normal 'behaviour' of the auto-balance feature, since you normally get put to the other team when you are dead. I don't know if the feature got changed or something, but I'm wondering if this isn't a bug or something. Thanks in advance!
Can confirm something is definitely not right. It targets people completely random, during any time in a round. Hell, I was switched to a team that had same amount of players shortly after someone joined the first one I was on. I was just about to get killed as well when it switched me. It occurred twice on Badwater and once on Hoodoo (me only! some other guy got switched back and forth as well )
Hello, anyone? This is still a very very real thing. It occurs at pretty much every map at most servers. You can be fully alive and it just picks you off. I had spawned red, got switched to blue with 30 seconds in setup and then back to red when round started. Sort it the fk out!
First of all, stay polite or... just do it yourself? We've got lots of things that needs fixing/improving and yes, this will be added to that list as well. Since this is still a community worked on by people that also have other duties (jobs, school, friends, husbands/wifes, kids, etc.) time is not always on our side. Thanks for bringing it back to our attention.
Guess what. I've been auto balanced since i started playing tf2 all the time. Im serious, i get ab'd 7-10 times a day. And my friends know it... they've seen enough lol.
well for a long time it goes ok, then it gets screwed up again.. it should almost as good as "never" auto balance while your still alive. It normally takes a dead player to the other team unless nobody is dead yet for xx amount of time and then decides what to do.. anyway its on the list.. to give you a idea, we got about 20 outstanding issues, and this is 1 of them. it consumes a lot of time, although i do think this should have a higher prio then some other stuff..
Khad, yeah I'd do it myself. But I'm not a friggin admin. And I do not care if people have lives or not, Bukkit normally checks things straight away if reported to him thru me. Problem is I've not had the chance to see him online at the same times as me. Another reason I want the autobalance to get working is so that we can END the bloody stacking / unfairness that the LZ servers have, even during peek hours its stacked all the way. For example Souljah + Woody + whatshisname now I can't remember... Had pretty much more points themselves than our whole team. And what does the server do? It autobalance me to them, and then back.... And if we (the admins that is ) got it to work as it did a month ago on #3, and place it on all servers. There will be both even teams and a Autobalance that pick people when they are dead. Also I feel sorry for the people being autobalanced, cause its pretty much the same people at all times, no matter when they joined. Im just pretty damn upset to see the servers go down the drain the last month, cause thats what they have. Blame it on whatever you want, but the scripts are just not working as they should.
Wacked can you fix it? So Khad and his crew have more time for other things. Some nnew plugin, this plugin is not seem to work. (lots of complains about the auto-balancer) Cheeeeeeeeeeers
FYI, the reason you dont see Bukket that much is that he has a new job with night shifts so he isn't around that much anymore. So... if I understand correctly, you have applied for becoming an admin now? :doubt: I agree with you the auto balancer isn't working that well and being switched all the times sucks big time but complaining is always easier then solving it. First of all we need time to investigate it and to try and solve it. Since the holidays are over most of use only have time during the evening and weekends..... when the servers are full and you rather not mess with them. This subject is given our priority but even then..... my magic wand can't help me here.
Picking random people that aren't dead yet doesn't have to be a bad thing. Who dies in a steamroll on the winning team? top 4 players with their medics around them? Don't think so. What do i mean by that. Well if autobalance can only choose dead ppl it will just almost always stack up moving targets in the losing team for the top players of the steamrolling winning team. My suggestion: totally against myself. Try to let the autobalancer pick higher scoring winning team players. and lower scoring losing team players. Getting this right on CP is easy: look at score. On PL and attack/defend maps, it's a b*tch because of points for only blue. ps:I hate to be autobalanced like everyone else. I like to play with my friends in the same team like everyone else
50 euro's a month wacked, and i will NEVER auto balance you ever again but enough bullcrap about the topic, just message me in the weekend and i will look at it straight away.
