489 [IHW] Super_Tactical_Droid Beta Testers, In AlfaTesters 550 posts 6,157 battles Report post #1 Posted January 21, 2018 Case in point just got out of a battle where 4 members of a clan called BOATZ qued up together in 2 divisions and managed to face off against each other. Should there be some sort of tos rule about this because if this clan wanted to they could all just be on ts and just telling each other where everyone is to on the map. For example see below. We won but I still don't think this should happen either mm or perhaps tos. Thoughts? 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

328 [SWOB] K538 [SWOB] Alpha Tester 1,147 posts 6,651 battles Report post #5 Posted January 21, 2018 Could they rig it? Sure. Does it happen? Probably from time to time. But it's not something most players engage in, and given the limitations of the number of players online at any given time, the alternative is for a single clan to possibly have 2-3 coordinated divisions on the same team on a regular basis. I'd sooner take the chance that some people are poor sports than guarantee that one team has a major advantage. It would be very frustrating to know that if a clan sync drops into the queue they're nearly guaranteed to get on the same team and I would stop playing if I saw it happening regularly.

You should be more concerned that I might throw my ship away focusing on a clan mate rather than helping him. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This happens commonly with sync drops which usually fail. 99% of clans hunt each other enthusiastically, I know we do. Red is red and must be killed, it doesn't matter who is running the ships. It is actually great fun to hunt your clan mates. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

440 [BLKHS] 11thACRColdsteel Beta Testers 1,612 posts 8,174 battles Report post #23 Posted January 22, 2018 Our Clan, the BLKHS clan does it all the time. Almost on a nightly basis. We love it - but not at all because one division could throw the battle. That's a ridiculous claim. It is all about bragging rights and having your buddies on the other team that you can talk smack to. If anything players play with alot more passion when they are matching their skills and wits against clanmates.... Also, if you were trying to pad stats, why would you have one division throw a battle for another on the opposing side? At best you'd come out with a 50% WR. That's way below what most good players in clans are running for WR.... Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
576 IronMike11B4O Members 2,066 posts 23,609 battles Report post #24 Posted January 22, 2018 When this happens in my clan we make sure we go to opposite caps to start switch channels on Discord then all bets are off. I've been 1 shot by a clan mate at 23km in a Yamato while in my Minotaur. Initial position then Red is dead. The best is lighting a bagillion fires on a clan mate while in my DD. In a way the taunting is way more fun when you are on chat and tell the other guy welp here comes your Dev strike LOL. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
