Battyone Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Hey guys: Just wondering if you've ever encountered more than 8 people starting a WZ match on your team. Generally this happens when there's a 4 man premade, you'll know it is going to happen if your queue pops right after you enter a warzone. (Basically you did not requeue but you get a second enter warzone prompt.) Generally the warzone closes for not having enough people, but last night we had a civil war where we played 10v8 against the imperials. We 3capped the whole time, it was a brutal slaughter. I felt horrible after it, it just ruined the fun of that warzone to me, especially because people on my team who are normally silent decided to pick this game to use /say to troll. I'm all for trash talk, but only when we dominate fairly. I guess this post is asking if anyone else saw this, and if my thoughts as to what causes the glitch are correct. Comments? P.S. -- Debating not running premades with the trash talker anymore, I may not like most of the Imperial players on my server, but generally I enjoy playing against them on the level. Hell I'm one of the biggest trash talkers on my server. Just feels really weaksauce to open your mouth when we have a clear advantage from the get go.
S_Ruari Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 I typically seem to get put on teams of three people or so at the start and then about 20 seconds before it closes they give us more people. And of course the other team has about the full roster at start so by that time they've won the game already. Seriously, it's making me want to just go back to playing a shooter or something for a pvp experience. At least they know how force balanced teams.

We had 10 people on our team. *EDIT -- I've won on a short sided 8v6 before. But 10 people on a team is op as hell, 2 defend east, 2 defend west, rest mid, and have those guys float to where it's hot. Edited January 23, 2012 by Battyone
ashkae Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 I've seen this happen a time or two. Sometimes when we queue with 4 people, some of us will get a 2nd queue pop upon entering the WZ but this doesn't seem to always cause the extra people. It does seem to result in that person not showing up on the ops window, which is annoying.

Yeah as a healer that one annoys me but i usually do a frame check with lightning shield and if someone is not on frames i drop them onto focus. Never seems to be more than 1 missing person.

I am shocked that you actually had enough Reublic players to fill a 10 man team. Quite a rarity I must say. In most WZ's I play, it is us 4 vs their 8-10. This is why this game fails so hard and will be F2play in 6 months. Biggest flop in MMO history.
Bloboo Posted January 23, 2012 Posted January 23, 2012 Don't think these guys understand what you are saying ... The other day I had three games in a row where we had between 2-4 extra people in our warzone at the start. I have no idea what causes it, I was in a 4 made pre-made although I have seen it happen several times a week prior for no known reason when I was solo queue. Would be a pretty harsh bug if exploitable since you would pretty much always win with several extra players.

The whole way PvP is balanced (in map design) doesn't leave room for more than 8 players per side on map. It'd be like a hockey game with 7 people on the ice... Edited January 23, 2012 by Battyone
