Re: Free Candy Van
2 days ago 25/01/2020 at around 22:40 GMT in Operation Barracuda map, an admin playing as trans teamkilled me and mocked me. Then another squad member of his, not an admin, teamkilled me right after I respawned. I reported the admin teamkilling me to other admins in-game and they again mocked me in chat too. Gone mad, I just respawned and simply latted the teamkiller admin's chopper at main, brought the justice myself. He then ofc banned me immediately.
So I would like someone to share the battlerecorder file with me -doesn't exist in my device, could not find it online- from that date so I record what happened and share it with the community.
FCV is a nice server but admins like this should not exist. I don't care about my ban but I do care if an admin lies to others by saying "I landed on him by accident and he teamkilled me".
Regards

Admin is Chemo#1336 on discord.
Seems like you were abused my friend. Drop by their discord and make an appeal. I'm sure they can sort you out.

Re: Free Candy Van
Big problems with balancing. Today one of the teams won 7 out of 8 rounds and played blufor 2 times for no obvious to me reason. Admins at the time were betronbegoan in prism, Sultan and Bluffer. Stacking is huge, one team is full of clans&experienced gamers, 2nd one is random dudes. If FCV admins have problems with switching their friends to the other side step down and let others do the job.

Unfortunetly no admins have the balls to split large entourages and balance the games.
Balance wont happen unless people themselves switch to volounatarily.

Re: Free Candy Van
It's difficult to balance when people Switch themselves every time you set them to switch or they decide to quit because they got switched. I'd say sometimes the game balances itself out based on maps.

Yep this is hard, here's a scenario from yesterday.Coalz101 wrote:It's difficult to balance when people Switch themselves every time you set them to switch or they decide to quit because they got switched. I'd say sometimes the game balances itself out based on maps.
We set Khafar Halab Alt, which is pretty easy for FSA, I teamswaped both teams so the superior team would be be on Russia and that the loosing team wont play Russia again.
I got 6 reports of people complaining.
2 of them complained about getting switched away from their buddies but they were still on the same team, they just didn't check and went complaining strait away.
I'm tempted to just force INS when the teams gets to whiny about getting balanced. Weed out the asset whores who are the main culprits of most cases of balance issues.
They don't want to get balanced, once a team has too much of them, well the ones that don't get the assets just goes to camp the enemy main base.
The best way to balance is just to switch 2 of the most useless squads from the loosing team and 1 good squad from the winning team. But then the stack starts happening on the opposite team and two rounds later we are back to the same issue.

Re: Free Candy Van
Is it possible to create a script which auto-balances each round based on player score? Likely not a perfect solution, but better than nothing I would think. Maybe a combination of kills/deaths/score. Could possibly base it around squads as well, so players who squadded up in the previous round stick together.

Re: Free Candy Van
Bluedrake that's a great idea but sometimes you get guys who have high scores just from building everything but their tactics are still trash.
Maybe to even the scores up a little bit from a building standpoint so raw skill could be evaluated would be increasing spawn time just a little and than increasing the spawn time bonus for building a FOB/Hideout. Respawn time is currently 30s with a 10s bonus for building a FOB/Hideout. Make the respawn time 60s with a 40s bonus for building. Should mean at least half the team builds and less chance of one squad building 3-4 times.
Other option is using other stats. Wins/Losses, Deaths per round, and Vehicles lost would be good stats evaluating someone. Or just have the stats in the game and just not have them visible to anyone.

Re: Free Candy Van
One of the main issues I've seen is one team gets squads that speak a variety of languages, like one Brazilian squad, one Russian squad, one Spanish squad with a few players who speak English, while the other teams is all players who speak English. Obviously this creates a problem. It would be great if there were enough players that each language community could always have a server to play on, but unfortunately this isn't the case. There should always be an effort to make sure one team does not have 2+ squads that don't speak English.

Re: Free Candy Van
Nice to see you guys up and running again...
Gungame was fun, but I got bored of playing it over and over. Just sick of running around.
Should alternate between gungame and skirmish if you are making a ladder for low server population. That would change things up a bit and keep it fun.

Re: Free Candy Van
A better solution to balancing in the short term, is the actual teaching of players. So they get better, they become an example to each other. Fun to watch videos that teach all possible skills you can use in this game, its just copy and paste. Mimic what you see. Camouflage, playing dead against infantry for kills, combat techniques of fire (suppression, pre-fire, grazing fire), combined arms breach, sniper, leadership. I have over 25+ labeled skill sections.Bluedrake42 wrote:Is it possible to create a script which auto-balances each round based on player score?

The Art of Pre-Fire for close quarters combat and to break up ambushes of camouflaged enemy in jungle/forest/vegetative terrain.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=P7wUB4Ve4n8
Wrap this around ANY objectives terrain with the same concepts and principles of suppressions with obscuration.
1 man per piece of cover, move cover to cover, stay in view of each other to save each other. Grenade spread minimum full time (change to RPG, mortar, area attack spread as needed). Police up each others camouflage and exposure. I have many orders like this for teaching, saying it 1000s of times where its done but nobody repeats the words that got it done.
I even recorded playing dead with my full squad against an APC recently at the end of a round where we all popped at at the same time

Re: Free Candy Van
Well, I lost a bet. I mean, it wasn't good odds to begin with, but the fact that you seem to mention your 'special tactic' of playing dead in 90% of your posts made me want to bet that this might be one of those 10% times where you don't. I didn't beat the spread on word count, either.Grump/Gump.45 wrote:...I even recorded playing dead with my full squad against an APC recently at the end of a round where we all popped at at the same time
:d uh:
This is why I should never gamble.

Re: Free Candy Van
If somebody with a platform like Bluedrake showed you could play dead in this game it would get alot more players than his usual videos bring. Also balance the game. Its the only game you can effectively look dead to your enemy, its mostly used against armor.SemlerPDX wrote:Well, I lost a bet.

But against infantry players its scary cause they be picking up your kits, they get that close to you. I have gotten them with their own knife before when they take mine.
