Idea Should WarZ add back /team to reduce team numbers?

/team wouldn't help anyway.
They'll still ally with other teams.
Maybe friendly fire should be added to the game though ( decreased damage )

 

2 many people would get banned.

 

Won't change anything.

 

Try to keep an open mind here guys. We've done this before and it was frowned upon, so understand that this is a tentative plan. We're working with the community more to bring you a better gamemode that you will (hopefully) enjoy more.

 

Simply put, no. There was a reason it was removed, it was only liked for less than the first week it was implemented. We all hate big teams, but we hate it even more when we ourselves have a big team and can't fit everyone in. I'd rather lose diamond to a huge team than to lose a friend because he wouldn't fit in the team.

 

Hmmm. That is an extremely good point. I wish there was a way to have a healthy medium. Hm. What about adding friendly fire in, but adding a scheduler attached to a command that creates temporary teams with no limit? However, once that timer is out the team is disbanded and everyone is, for use of understanding, unfriended again.

 

The increase in large teams has made WarZ mostly more fun.

Asides from when people get 6 people on for 1 person or a 6 man team is sitting in a building, big teams have made fights more interesting and prolonged.

 

This is false, me and cj have been beating teams outnumbered a **** ton.

 

The problem is that there is no true way to balance the game. Big teams will always have the advantage no matter what. Say there's a big team chasing someone in the open, and the person goes to camp in an OP spot. Now let's say that OP spot is occupied by Captain_Pigzy's team of 5 full diamonds, like always in snow. Once again the big team will still have the advantage even if they camp in that spot. Because of this imbalance, the OP camping spot is removed. Then, there is no spot for the lone person to camp in that's balanced for them and the big team. Then, this makes another imbalance leaning toward the big team. The old solution was /team, but it didn't really work out with the community. Truth is, there really is no balancing between big teams, plugins and camping spots. Warz is just not that type of game with team limits especially because the majority of the community only plays because their friends do.

 

What about proportional friendly fire to player count ratio in a team?

 

This is exactly what I was going to suggest.
I think it would be amazing if there was no team limit, but a 5 player max before friendly fire is enabled. So once there are 6 people then teammates would take x% damage from other teammates, which would increase incrementally.

 

I think that would be good. Also, I think that teams should have a link to the forums if possible and have a team color for name tags in game and in tab. Also, maybe a limit of 6? 5 is not that many.

Spoiler: Enlightened by Algebra

That made me think of my conversation with ritzy this morning. I learned that in Europe the formula for a straight line is y=mx+c , but in America, a linear equation is y=mx+b. So ya, lol. It's the same thing. Didn't know that.

 

Something like that is what I thought of before, I think that teams <4 should have no friendly fire then start from 4 onwards.

 

How about this... A team cap
All teams are capped at 5 or 6 players. This would make teams split up and creat more fights for everyone
