It was completely stacked against an entire team of people that had no idea what they were doing when I joined, for 3 rounds.

It might have been tonnes of fun on your side, but it probably contributed to a tonne of new people never coming back to the game and the few of us that were desperately trying to organise our 30+ newbies into something loosely coherent have a significant distaste for the server now.

Shame on the admins, it was basically all 3dac and ODS vs a full team of newbs 3 games in a row. I called it as unbalanced in a round with 3 admins, twice. Nothing happened. It's still probably horribly unbalanced right now as I type this.

I mean no offence to the ODS guys, I've played with several of you before, Manibou I've played with many times. But man was that brutal. Get the balancing together guys =/ When the enemy team is capped out entirely or almost 2 games in a row that should tell you something.

Overall I can live with bad games. But this is not the way to greet or make the game fun for new players. It's disappointing.

NEW would you be interested in this;

plz, respond asap ...like in the next 24 hrs

I'm sorry for the bad experience Skitrel we will look into that and talk to 3DAC and ODS.
Even though you're right that this is the responsibility of the admins I was hoping both ODS and 3DAC would take a look at the balance themselves.
That's on of the things we expect from them when they are allowed to use tools like anti switch list or even reserved slots.
While I personally wasn't around on the time you're describing I can only assure you that we tried to balance as good as possible during the day.
We had a very hard time because of the large amount of clans with high numbers playing. Please also keep in mind that the leaving of a single clan can destroy a perfectly balanced game within seconds.

Please also consider that the time you were playing on 5 hours ago is 4:30am in Germany where most people, even our admins are asleep.
That shouldn't be an excuse, I will bring up that issue internally, but please be a bit patient in judging a EU server from playing one round during US times on a very hectic and exciting release day.

During the rest of the day I also experienced some rounds that ended in an uncap but even when I was on the losing team I had an amazing time.
We fought hard on Saarema and that last bunker fight was one of the most intense battles I've ever experienced in PR. In the end the opposing team made clever use of their assets and defeated us though.
Thanks everyone for playing.

Hey Skitrel,

I'm sorry that you had such a bad experiance yesterday. For our defence, 3dAC was on the server the whole night (not always on the better team tho, we got outcapped several times ) at some point ODS joined - our side, even if they have been on the other team after loaded in. It was around 4:30, I guess we and ODS didnt paid enough attention to it, even if we saw the imbalance. ODS didnt replied to me when I asked if they want to balance, so we stacked.

3dAC is always interested in having two equal teams fighting each other.

That's cool guys, I appreciate the recognition in hindsight that it was indeed unbalanced, just something to watch out for when we've got so many newbies around.

That Dovre round was essentially my squad alone that had any idea what it was doing. The entire team + tank + BMP couldn't take west fields back from you guys. I'm pretty sure it was at that point I gave up. I was a little emotional upon writing the above message, having managed to get thoroughly riled up in the matches, but wow I don't think I've ever played anything so unbalanced. I don't entirely put that down to you gents of course, it's not your fault the server is full of newbies, but it's definitely something we all need to be aware of.

Cheers for the level headed responses. Half expected angry defences as is usual when being critical of servers! So I definitely appreciate that.

IMO Clans do have responsibilities on public servers, sadly not all sharing the same POV. But at the moment we are all newbies, all of us are trying to get used to the game again. The next few days will be hectic and chaotic

Curry.

Yes, blame us for everything...

You have to take into consideration that even though there are clans playing, they have the same right as you to try out new things in the patch. I know for a fact last night, we ended up playing the same maps over and over on some servers, and always playing the same god damn faction. After doing 10 rounds(almost in a row...) as MEC/China/Russia, im unfortunately not going to be looking at balancing the teams as my first objective ingame. Might sound harsh, but thats the truth, no point in sugarcoating it.

Sure, clans should balance teams, but please do understand that the new version has been up for just over a day.

Great games today, sadly not everyone seems interested in communicating but still GG! Thanks to everyone fighting on Xian! Thx Andy for intel tho

We had some close games today!

Curry.

First time trying this server.

Admins all on one team and not interested if the team they are not on cannot even get out of main because of grievers and I quote "let the auto ban deal with them".We had not a single asset left by about 5mins into the round despite almost our whole team reporting.
I shit you not there must have been about 10 3dAC guys on the other team at the time that could not have missed it.Even if they missed the all chat pleading to ban these guys (about half our team by my count) they would have seen the explosions from our main.

I lasted 10mins on this server,Never seen anything like it after approximately 7 years of PR.

Are you sure you are in the right Thread? This one is about the [NEW] New Era Warfare Community Server, which means that only players with the [NEW] tag are admins.

And btw, please report in the date, time and map played, on which this incident occured, so administrativ consequences can be applied.

what kind of intel are you talking about lol, this sounds like i had given you information about my team [we were in the same team]

all i told you were map specific locations hehe

In case you guys didn't notice:
Starting yesterday (9/9/2013) we are currently in an evaluation period for a new Asset Rule.

3. Vehicles and Assets

3.1 All vehicles have to be manned with their minimum crew they require to work appropriately (included the CrowHummvee and Panther - excluded AA-vehicles).

3.2.1 First correct named squad is in charge of the assets. The name must be precise.

3.2.2 No locked asset squads

3.2.3 Transport Helicopters and AAVs are not directly affected by the Asset Rule.

3.2.4 1x APC/IFV can be used per infantry squad as support. -> Mechanized Infantry

3.2.5 A Commander not in duty from the beginning cant re/as-sign assets already in use.

Gr8 great greeeat news!!!

I like it although I rather see the Tranport Helicopters falling under the same category as CAS and tanks since it is in fact the most important asset.

^This

Anyway, that's a big step forward imo.

Good games tonight. Yamalia and Khamisiyah were pretty good, as well was Shijia Valley (just not so serious).


Thanks to the MoL gang for taking the picture!

cheers,
Curry.

Ye fun rounds tonight. Shijia was hilarious. Camped that apartment with 4 guys for like 2 hours straight until we got bored and took some pictures. Sorry to all the CAS, Armor and Inf squads who lost their lifes there

after the more or less disappointing karbala round, the yamalia battle was pretty awesome.
