clans for instant teams#1807
Please allow clans to form so that when you log on you are instantly a team member. This would eliminate the need to find your regular teammates in the word in order to team up.
Yeah but what about the 5-players restriction? It’s kept so for a purpose.
Easy, just auto-populate the squad and let the server owner cap the size.
What about those who’s not in your clan? Sometimes teams unite against a certain enemy.
I know a good solution from another game: Infestation The NewZ (a huge postdevelopment game of former WarZ). They use a list of all players in the server where you can invite anyone to team up with you, just click on a nickname and send an invite. The other player can either accept it or reject. Only a team leader can invite to the team. The team leader can also kick a player from the team.
All team members can switch on or off the team members list showing up on the HUD.
You don’t have to stand face to face with a player to invite, they can be anywhere on the map. And all team members are showing up on the map too.
This would be a really convenient, quick and easy way to team up.
But they will never do either way, as it affects the server performance. Every additional team member adds data load to all other members which the server has to process additionally.
On the other hand, we have a decent and very well optimized game code which works well even on weak PCs. It’s worth.
I’m talking about small group of people who play together regularly, so a cap of 5 is np. It’s a pain to join a team every time you log on and every time the server resets. I’m talking clans not tribes lol
If team sizes are such an issue why were so many teams allowed to be formed on the 80 player pts? As I said a cap of 5, or whatever the server owner dictates, is not a problem. Regular players that usually play together could be included in the clan so that ever time they log in they are automatically in a team. If they choose to team with players outside of the clan,they can join in the traditional way.
Many teams are processed too, BUT more than 5 makes it A LOT more. Try to imagine the quantuty of data links between all 5 members of a team. Add one. And one more. Count the links again. The add one more and count the links again. Multiply by the server capacity. And forget about bigger teams, especially fighting in one location.
I hope they will find a coding solution though, one fine day …
