Forum

This community is far too small, especially NA, to be bullying players on your server to play whatever side you prefer, while stacking your clan on the other. Yes I understand it's your server but you keep doing things like this and soon enough, no one is going to even bother playing there. Not to mention this behavior is toxic towards the community.

For those that weren't there:
We were all having a good time playing on maps such as Urban and MOUT but as soon as a map like "Pipeline SF" was chosen (And I assume any map with assault/defense), their clan forced everyone to switch to Assault or be kicked. If refuse again, banned. I voiced my concerns by asking why we aren't allowed to play defense if we choose, and they muted me. I left the server after that.

I saw someone put in chat from their clan on MOUT about their ping being high (Someone must have asked why they all camp so much) and I'm guessing that's their reasoning for wanting to all be on defense. I play from Japan so if I can suck it up, so can you.

That is all, have a great day.

Typical players, don't expect to be any better, you will find out soon what kind of community this is.

It's nice that someone reaches the forum to point out things like this. On the other hand, people suck, sad that they can't realize what it looks like. I think that matches made of up to 15 rounds max. and forced map rotation at each match should be the average habit around (i played for quite a long time this way, maps never get boring and people don't make too much of a side preference).

That's why I love playing on lungs server. Map rotation after every set. Gets to be fun running around not knowing some maps lol. But I always have a great time in there TeamSpeak. . Some I leave needing a bottle of asprins. But we'll worth it

Hehe, always a good time on our servers

The reason clans "stack up" one particular side is usually because they're on TS and don't want to play against eachother.
And if half of the players on a server are from one clan, they will try to join one side. Sad that it has to be defense.
It's not the case always, but it is the case most of the time.

And I also kind of like IL server with it's mapchanges. However, I sometimes find it frustrating that I can't really get settled into a map before it's changed already

Cmon! Being on TS isn't an excuse, you can have Assault and Defense channels. And about clan mates, i think it would be wierd to me if i were to be in a clan, and all my teammates were to stack up in one team, making quite an unfair balance for a casual public match.

That's what I was thinking too. If you're on teamspeak, you probably have teamwork, better communication etc, so it would be cooler to actually play assault together, at least that's what we did in BLANKS

On another note Hype, if you've done cal-invite and twl and other comps, you are probably a better player than them so it shouldn't be a problem to kick their ass even on assault. Still I get it gets annoying to be switched.

Normally I would agree, however he just said he plays from Japan now, his ping will be a major disadvantage on those. With lower pings it's way easier to dominate others with prefiring and peaking.

after a hard day of work, i do enjoy to play with my clan mates. and i also like to talk to them all.
this is why i try to put the clan members on one side. sure, on pipe it could be assault. but a clan is not only there to have a lot of players which do not talk to each other. the fun is when you can make jokes and to comment your team mate how bad he was

I am aware of the reasons for stacking one side. All I was pointing out was, as you said, having to be defense. I noticed their clan has a few "frag rate whores" one of which reconnected whenever I would kill him. From what I saw they don't enjoy challenge and just stack one side - the easier one - to improve frag rates. I'm not saying all of them do that but I also don't see any of them speaking up saying "no, let's not do that."
Not to toot my own horn but when I was in there most of them didn't ..improve...their fragrate but the less experienced/skilled players on my team were at a huge disadvantage. Mostly I was just aggravated because there are still new/newer players in this community and with servers like this it may turn them away or discourage them.

Yes, thank you for observing my ping issue lol. Normally if I were in the U.S. it wouldn't be an issue but nonetheless, it is still hard to crack a pipeline defense that is stacked + TS communication.

On another note I myself do enjoy being on my own team's TS and team but if I notice the teams are stacked and we are continually winning then I will step up and switch teams. There is one exception as Killaman would probably attest to where I was on a team with my buddies sh4dy and dickrobinson and we stacked on CSAR. That was purely because it was the first time we had all played together and were on TS in a very, very long time. Don't want to sound like a hypocrite so I will man up to that one.
