It is still possible to steal someone`s role.

Why isn`t this fix yet?????

Today i choose as first man the sniper role, when the spawn begun i went
in a waiting loop and then i saw that my role was stolen again....

could have been battlefield promotion thing m8.
sometimes it carries over onto next map.

Yes, stealing another players role is unfortunately WAD (working as designed).

They should fix the role-voting thing, so inept commanders and others can be redelegated by a majority, but the battlefield commissions are just plain annoying.

I think the battle field commission actually works.
I play with my brother, now he plays on his laptop me on my desktop.
My pc will load up a new map in quarter of the time it takes him, we are on the same connection.

I am nearly always first into any new map (before everyone not just my brother)
so I can pick whatever class I want, I always choose rifleman or MG thats what I prefer to play.

If I wanted to play marksman I could get the role nearly every new map which is not fair, at least with the odd battle field commission everybody can get a shot at it.

i like the battlefield commission, i play with bolt action very much, but playing it all the time can become boring. on large servers it's sometimes hard to get anything else, and the battlefield commission is a nice reward for players that did well.
there should be some sort of visible message for the player that gets his class "stolen", or the classes should be switched by default.

 

[Holy.Death]

Question is: on what conditions you're given the possibility to switch class? When I see the message I often have little to no idea who is playing whom and I don't know if I should replace somebody, because I have no idea how is he playing (good or bad) and I am not good at playing all the classes (for example - I am better MG'er than sniper).

The battlefield commission is extremely unfair/stupid. Stealing another role would be considered cheating normally. At least make it an additional slot just for you.

 

[Mekhazzio]

There are two commissions given to each team at the end of each round, one on merit and one that's supposedly random.

The merit commission goes to the top scoring player on the team.

The "random" commission is assigned by going through the player list in what's probably the order that they connected. The first person to roll a successful 20% chance gets the random commission. Obviously, the distribution is heavily weighted towards the beginning of the list.

If a round starts and noone has been assigned a random commission, then it runs through the list again to try to hand one out. This happens even on the first round of a map.

You might not like it, but it is there to try and break the RO1 first-come-first-serve pattern, where fast-loading players get the best roles almost always. Now THAT, is unfair.

However, one issue with the Commissions, is that choosing roles before a round starts can be annoying even WITHOUT being kicked out of the one you wanted.

^^^THIS! fix the role selction first! it's so bugged now, even if you accept the commision, you probably wont get to select anything before the screen change.

Any......Admin can turn off Field Commissions and eliminate this troublesome event.

 

[wake_up]

Funny. I

 

[The Beast (nl)]

It happens also after one round.....

But give us a message then when the role is to someone else.

 

[Tea and Crumpets]

Instead of stealing a role. Why not have players who get this commision act like a lower version of a hero. Increase morale of friendly troops and such.

thanks, mike. i didn't know that.

 

[=GG= Mr Moe]

Yes, thanks Mike, I didn't know that either. I actually like Battlefield comissions although I have never accepted one.

So, working as planned, and server admins can choose to turn on or off. What more can you ask for?
