Battlefield 4 Randomize Squads Vs Randomize Players & Autobalancing

[SRT4LIF]

Greetings y'all,
First post. Ever since my clan left for BF1, I've been on the 24/7 Locker server probably for four months now, only. That's the only server I play on. The server has it's rules and that just fine and dandy. I have two questions. First, it is in regards to the randomization that kicks in at the end when the rounds ends unbalanced. For the admins, would you consider, if it's possible, trying to randomize the squads rather than randomize everyone completely? This would prevent squads who may have clan mates together, or for me, other regular players of the server being broken apart. It's rare for me to find good teamwork or others with mics, and when the squad gets broken up, it sucks. Secondly, when autobalancing is kicked in during a round, is there a way to pull the lone wolves first before pulling players out of a squad? Thanks for your time and see you (dead) in game!

I'n not from the Battlefield division but I do play on the lockers server.
The best way to deal with the auto-balance in my opinion is to go ahead and subscribe as a VIP member, which can be done here https://www.edge-gamers.com/forums/payments.php
As far as tweaking the auto-balance, I do believe we are required to use the dice auto-balance, and not a third party one so I would expect no changes there

Since the Battlefield 4 Summer Patch of 2015, DICE removed all custom Autobalancers and replaced them with their own. This was done to increase the fairness in games and keep balancing as close to "50/50" as possible.

In regards to clanmates getting broken up, you have to remember this is a pub server, not a competitive one. There is actually a rule against team stacking, including for us EGO members who are expected to spread out, and not stack on one team. Although the issue is more with intentional team stacking causing a disruption of the server. We also do not have the ability force move players, which I have gotten requests for in the past, when clans have been broken up. I'm sure you wouldn't have problems with a small group of friends, but you may be auto balanced by the server if you are not a DS/VIP

I hope this answers your questions, I'm sure someone from leadership will be around tonight to respond.

Hi SRT4LIF,

Autobalance is from EA/DICE we have no control over it. Only way around that is to be a DS here is some info if you are interested.

Hello SRT4Life,

For the most part EA/DICE new player balancer is what goes. At the start of each round our plugins do try to automatically sort players by skill at the same time some of the EA/DICE programs are. The server gets balanced then some leave and or join the other team and then instantly becomes imbalanced again. Sometimes we try to admin move players to equal teams if the server is totally not fair but we dont all the time as it annoys some players. As for the squads most times it is set to keep them together but sometimes it does break some apart. The autobalancers dont take last joined or low rank/high rank and move them. Often it is random players moved at the time the balancer kicks in. Dedicated supporter will help you to remain on a team and not be moved by our balancer but i cant say how it goes for EA's.
