Auto Balancing Problems

[Srinidhalaya]

The auto balancing needs a bit of tweaking...
I cannot tell you how many times, I was aiming, lined up, and about to squeeze the trigger than WHAM, im on the other team.

IMO, this should only happen to those who have been dead for more than 3 seconds. I say 3 seconds, because sometimes you get shot, and immediatly get teamswitched, and it can be rather confusing as to what happened if you weren't paying attention.

It should also slow down. I was auto balance team switched 3 times in less than a minute in one round....

Agree.

It can be very annoying....

Maybe a mod can move this to idea's section so i dont have to repost?

TRIPPLE agreed.. This has happened to me so many times, I was the friggin commander for christ sake as well. I got switched like 4 times in the same match.. It was insane. It definitely shouldn't switch a commander. That's just stupid.

I would even go as far to say, if you get teamswitched ONCE in a round, you should automatically be exempt from autobalance. It's really frustrating when trying to team up with buddies...

Are team switching and auto balancing two different things? Either way, I don't like the feature. It kills the immersion. If I join the Germans for a game, I am invested in holding those apartments to the end or fighting to the last man to take the square. I feel like I'm a pivital part of a much larger battle that will determine the fate of the whole Stalingrad operatation, etc....

Then, after fighting furiously to hold that last objective, I get put on the Soviet team.

The auto-balancing is really annoying especially when I am trying to play together with other people I am connected with in Teamspeak. Maybe it should take into account who of the other players are my friends?

Does the thing ever kill you to switch you? I mean, sometimes, I felt like no one shot me, and I look for a kill message in the console, but I never found out how I died... I never see my body, don't know which direction it came from... It gets weird.

Was playing earlier, my friend shot a German as a Russian soldier, was switched to German, the man he shot bled out and he got a team kill

I was a german force-switched to russians. Then, the next round, I was "auto-balanced" back to germans. Last time I kept the PPSH I had as a russian (as a present for confusing me so many times probably). I was a confused german with a PPSH

Pictures attached.

 

[Oook!]

There should be a limit on how many times you can be switched and also it should be clearer when it happens. It is all too easy for players, especially when they are new to get confused and team kill because of it.

It should not be active at least during a round. It's not my fault that half of the other team rage quits or just leaves the game.
If they ever have to keep the auto-balance, it should be between rounds, not this random nonsense

I agree, it shouldn't switch you during a round. It should switch you after the objectives have either been taken or defended.

At the beginning of a match, it should take into account how many players are on each team and then balance, and then at set intervals. They also need to make the rounds a lot longer in my opinion.
