After 20 minutes of ownage, 18 minutes without power, ea.CommAndeR realized there really was no fun in what he was doing. After 25 minutes [cF]SaGe felt the same. Imagine how it was the first 20:

Diamond Sword:
[cF]SaGe 63
ea.CommAndeR 32
[FK] Balk 38
<GIR>BonGGoD 35
Xtegg 35
ea.Teraman 25
Raven0O0 12
richguns 9
blade 2
nightmare 2
slayer545 1
[TFM]Block 1

Blood Eagle:
|HH|BigBunny 12
serl')0( 9
The Machine 7
Refreshing 6
Cool Hand -4S- 5
CrusaderX 0
Vae Victus 0

This should speak for itself. Any reaction of the players in that game explaning their behaviour is really appreciated. Thanks to ea.CommAndeR and [cF]SaGe. Maybe they couldn't switch sooner because of the prevent-uneven-teams-policy of the bwadmin-mod, I don't know.

BWAdmin only prevents players joining a larger team, not a smaller one.

Then why don't you guys come and play Tribes in mainland Europe

I've been playing on BW once in a while, and it seems that ppl there are more fond of uneven teams than anywhere else :/ Even if you continuesly ask ppl to change team, they don't.

Ping might be a tad worse on mainland servers though, but I still dare to say that quality is slightyly better (don't flame me know

 

[old.Fusion]

This is all very true though. The European servers do provide a much better game on average with a better all round quality of players.

Its all a connection problem issue. Modemers aren't going to play outside the UK because its not worth the hassle. In europe I get pings around the 100 mark which is fine so I don't mind sarficing 50ms for a better game, but modemers aren't because their connections are bad enough to begin with.

Believe me, given the choice I'd be playing on american servers, but the thought of gaining a Super low worldwide ping is a fair way off

It's the US players on the UK servers who don't even the teams

 

[old.Shelob]

This is turning into a broken record type discussion.
I can't really see any solution or end to it.
One thing I thought of (and have done) is altered versions of some maps, making generators and stations invincible. Obviously there are problems with this, does anyone think it'd be worth trying them out on a public server?
I used to not mind changing onto the bad team, but these days it seems worse than ever, and just leaving seems the best idea.
Either that or practice my pathetic modem sniping

 

[old.BigBunny]

Is there a Europe master?

I only got UK/US/Australian...

Ya, the competition on mainland Europe is harder then on barrysworld. And i get discriminated on barrysworld cos i am superlpb on that server

(can i help it?) playing with others that have 200 ping is actually fun!

Finnish servers sometimes can get a price for laminess also. Its always perkele, vittu etc. (don't ask me what it means).

p.s. for invincible stations play UT .

The original thought was probably that the UK master would function as that.
However, you'll find the Euro servers on the US master...

Indestructible hardware?

Wouldn't it reduce 'control points' on the map so that games would choke on the flags?

(In addition to the old arguments like public=league etc)
