Poll: BG balance for all levels

#1 » Post by **Roel** » 13 Oct 2012 11:23

The code for the BG balancing script I wrote is really buggy and it's hard to get it working like it should. Even if I get it to work, it wouldn't work when for example AB is running 2 times at level 80 or when people are not queuing. Next to that it would block some players which means less players in BG.

So I was thinking of another way to get BGs more balanced and got the idea to add some kind of buff to the losing team. I know some people don't like it but just wait a moment. Making the buff invisible should make it less noticeable. I know you can't make HP invisible but you can let them absorb 10% damage or something like that... Most of the time the losing team is lower geared so it will just seem like they have more resilience. If they are getting farmed they would just stop queuing and it wouldn't be fun for anyone. I know you would have no problem with this change if Blizzard implemented it but they have less balancing problems with their population. However they created a similar buff in AV which gives 20% extra HP from time to time but that's related to the Captain and usually for the winning team which makes things even more imbalanced...

" i want to get farmed from time to time " lol
this is both a bad and a good idea, i'm confused =/
for now i'm against this but i may change my mind... thinking about it

seems many people only think of losing

if the bg is balanced with 10 ally / 10 horde

and horde are winning i don't want a health buff to ruin the game

we might win and ruin the whole bg it's fun to lose from time to time

and if it was a health buff for the losing team it will be boring :/

You would still be losing half of the time but it won't be as bad as 1600/500 or something like that. And when one faction does a couple of premades in a row they will have a harder time winning all BGs and the other faction can still have some fun. But it's fine with me either way, if you don't want any changes then it saves me a lot of time

Well i think if anyone saying that love to be farmed i think that he lie becouse i seen many times when ppl. get farmed in bgs. they are angry ,calling each others with names and end with leaveing bgs. i think that this would be good just for short time to see how it will work

But more players for the losing faction would be a good thing?

#12 » Post by **Sinnerly** » 13 Oct 2012 13:37

nah still bad more players more zerg less fun

#13 » Post by **Roel** » 13 Oct 2012 14:02

More zerg? The winning team is probably zerging and they get less players so zerg less.

#14 » Post by **Sinnerly** » 13 Oct 2012 14:28

but when they losing team gets more people they zerg more to take bases in AB , flag in wsg , bases / flag in EoTS

it will be hard to finish a bg in time or it might un-fairly flip the score

let's say people are using a type of tacitc in bg and the other team is just zerging running around and all

the one using tactic is a winner and the losing team is the zerger if you add more even tactics won't matter and hard work will go to waste

What you're saying Sinnerly doesn't really make much sense, skill and tactics would still matter just as much as they do right now if this was implemented.

Anyway I'd go for "No" just because this is nowhere close to being a blizz-like idea. It would be fun to try this for some days and to see how it goes, but having to directly decide between yes or no, my choice is definitely no.
