I've had a lot of fun playing with you 3DGN folks... good tactical players who still have a good time!

As to the "team stacking"... almost every time it comes down to well-coordinated squads when I've played on TG servers. When coordinated, the side I've been on has beaten the other team, even when the other team is loaded with squaded-up TG members. Conversely, my side has been destroyed when we've had no squad coordination.

Try not to let it frustrate you if your team is losing... there are no ranks or stats (thank God!), so you don't have to "worry" about that aspect of it. Even if my team is not doing well, I look at it as successful if my squad gets one or more objectives during the game. It's all in how you look at things.

See you on the Battlefield!

oh man, ha!

yea you were the randomer, but apparently now as random as i thought!

dont get me wrong tho we had a blast during that "game", so called.

I was more referring to the female Gn'er..she was the one whom decided first to create the epidemic of panic in the ocean, just sitting there while people spawned, panic'ing..lol

So she, and all of us at that moment suicided, and then she reliquished SL duties, and you were the lucky draw next..so yeah...heh

lol....i remember you were like "can i make it up these cliffs?" and i quickly returned something like "oh yeah....."
I was the first to spawn in on you in the water, and the first to jump off of the cliff. Took me serveral jumps though. hehe

O M G

Now this entire ordeal is in perspective.
Gimme a 12pk of Teh Champagne of Beers, some Northern Lights, and an invite to that squad, and I would laugh myself into pulled muscles.

This happens in all games. Maybe an IHS squad comes on that likes to play together, so they find a team. Or a TG regular sees a bunch of players he enjoys to play with so he swaps over. It just happens. People switch and swap teams. In the PR forum several threads of this nature have come up recently. Just deal with it and the teams will soon even as people leave or join.

a mod should probably lock this thread, as its not a discussable topic.

My view regarding this are stated in detail here, but I'll cut and paste my thesis statement here as well:

The main imbalance issue that leads to a dissatisfying experience and server population loss is insurmountable odds for one team due to player skill inequity. I believe that this issue, more than any other (having to do with balance and switching), should be the one we are most concerned with.
