Persistent server just to be stuck with the losing team? Why?
- BR-DuaneDibbley3 years agoSeasoned Ace@LlamaWithKatana
The team balancer takes care of that and scrambles the teams between rounds if this is needed. But if you want a new server every round, you can manually leave and requeue of course (as you have to do now).
For you, one more click. For all others the option to stay together with their fiends over multiple matches without the need to do the dance of joining with a party, splitting one or two off, creating new parties, joining the old and new parties, waiting in queue until all are on the new server -- IF this even is possible during the course of the match.- LlamaWithKatana3 years agoSeasoned Ace@DuaneDibbley it was a thing before and server became stalled really fast. I admit it sounds good on paper and I don't say to not do it but at the same time it goes through the same cycle: loosing side quits, match start with only half of enemies, they are losing badly, every new player leaves because the team is already too far behind, the rest steamrolled, after ~3 matches like that everyone leaves and server ain't functional anymore. So the rest had to quite and re-queue. Sure, just add balancer between rounds but DICE has proven to not be able to or not willing to do that for quite some time. In BF4 balancer could flip you to the other side even mid match (splitting the party even) because that would make teams even.
And it's not just theoretical thing. This is how it was in BF V for the whole game cycle. So it has to be implemented really carefully. It's not about me being lazy but for overall experience in general.- S3SSioN_SoL3 years agoSeasoned Ace@LlamaWithKatana BF V probably has the worst team balancing of any BF game I've played. BF 4 had the best because of plugins. Considering 2042 has no campaign, surely you would think that extra time could be put into making sure teams shuffle and that (Platoons if they existed... and Squads stay together).
