Please do something to stop people forming 8 players suqad!

Dev needs to do something to stop some people from forming 8 players squad! This is a game-breaking thing for a 10 vs 10 game.

Some players are taking advantage of the current match-making system. And bring 8 players from the same discord channel into the same match!

You guys must think about something to stop people from doing this, it will destroy the environment of this game!

I think he’s talking about squads of coordinated players, not infantry squads in game.

If I get it right, the game allows up to 4 players to squad up in the same match, but 8 people coordinating outside of the game could hit the queue in the same moment and trick the matchmaker into sending them in the same match nonetheless, de facto creating an 8-player team vs a team of randoms (insert steamroll here).

yes! That is what im talking about here. And there are more people doing this now.

If you can’t beat them, join them.

What even is the point of of this post. Players are welcome to squad up however they want to. Blame the game for not being popular enough to have enough human players to fill games up.

the game invites to coordinate and play together that then everything is made of shit is another story since you cannot form a group with unknown people from inside the game

Yea, why don’t you just suggest they open 10 slots squad system?

They made it 4 for balance reasons. And now people found a way to bypass the system. And you think that is ok?

As much as it can result in an unbalanced match, I don’t think it is technically forbidden nor “cheating”.

4 players teaming up is sort of like universal in games for some reason. It has nothing to do with balance. The problem would be solved if there were enough players on the opposite side or if the only human players decided to coordinate. The game isn’t popular enough for the former and people are jerks for the latter.

Besides, people “abusing” this are NOT necessarily super skilled pros wanting to dominate helpless casuals. They could as well be casuals themselves, just trying to play together for fun bypassing the number restriction.

You know why I know how to make it work 100%? You know they just quit the match and then do it again, again and again. And they will eventually succeed in what they are trying to do.

I can say this is true. We coordinate on discord server sometimes. And is usually to help the lower ranked players of the campaign to level up or help new players to the games. Other times, it’s a lot of fun fighting for kills between yourself.

It is very simple that they can just add a system if you quiet. You cannot join for another 3 or 5 mins. That is the easiest way to fix this issue.

Select a single server. Queue up once and leave the game and then queue again. 9/10 it puts you in a fresh game with all 8 players.

Been there. Done it already.

See, even you know how stupid this is. And how long do you think that others will start abuse this way to break this game?

my hubmlest apology.

i apparently didn’t get that right.

now i do agree that players in a " team " should be putted in matches with people that are in teams as well.

so something has to be made against it as you corretly said, otherwise wouldn’t be fair for randoms.

I quit regularly when I get maps I don’t like. Why should people players be punished for shortcomings of the game and it’s devs. Unless they implement a system to choose maps.

I don’t consider it breaking the game at all. It’s not players’ fault that the games are filled with bots. The unbalance wouldn’t be a thing at all if the opposing team had actual players. Which they don’t. And who’s fault is that!?

Partially yours as you just left some other match and now your place is filled with bots…
Now imagine multiple groups are doing the same “helping noobs” as you claim to do and we get fully stacked matches of 8+ coordinated players on Allied side and few real players on Axis side. In parallel you get the same “balance” in another match where Axis has group of 8 players, fighting bots on Allied side who where spawned after you left the same match.

Perhaps, a fix to this would be like in other games - squad matching, matching with roughly the same amount of players in the same “group” as you.

But we get fully stacked 8+ players against 1 player on the opposite side all the time. Even without any of the squadding up. I’ve played Axis Moscow mostly and the moment I decide to play tank or plane, my team’s going down because the rest are either bots or complete noobs.

What’s wrong in people wanting to play alongside a large number of actual players. Ideally, the opposite team should have players too(it’s not fun otherwise, trust me) but that doesn’t happen very often. Which is not a player’s fault.

And I wouldn’t mind if teams decide to use some collective brain instead of going for the cheesy kills. Partially because I wouldn’t dare play Moscow Axis alongside random people anymore.

Unless the Devs said its bannable offense then no. in World of Tanks and other games there are things called Clans/ Regiments where people queue up together, like Clan Battles and such. Its not illegal on any other games I played. besides they would be very rare to do so, and not everyone is competitive, they just want to play with groups of friends. (Which most are noobs)

I understand you in the assault is bad when you are fighting like a lion with 3-4 players and the rest of your allies all camped in the cp do not see an enemy hidden in the corner losing the cp and nullify 5 minutes of game that in enlistede is very much time
