there's team modes already for duo and teams of 4
Teaming up in Free for all IS cheating

shut the fuck up

>I'M NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE AN UNFAIR ADVANTAGE REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE MOMMY WHERE ARE MY TENDIES?!?!?!?

You really want to deal with groups of 10 redditors teaming up on you?

>>386530248
How is teaming up with a random person giving both of you the opportunity to stab each other in the back but in the meantime helping each other get further "cheating"?

Why do they even have voice chat audible by non-teammates? You're not allowed to be nice to anyone (rule 10). You're not allowed to talk shit to your opponents (rules 1-4). You're not even allowed to tell people anything about yourself (rule 5).

cheating, apparently. right up there with aimbots and esp

>>386530184
That's a lot more reasonable then the stupid stream sniper shit.

>>386530430

Something that has no place in solo queue because even if someone betrays the other guy in the end they still had a huge advantage in the meantime.

>>386530350
This
The game is garbage but it's like getting another 10 to your original 10 players in a football match.

Enforcing rules that break your game and turn it in to a faggot fest which ruins the goal and a large amount of time due to the nature of the game is a good thing. Only faggots will cry about it.

>>386530430
>Completely ignoring the point
I get this is bait, but teaming in solo is against the rules. Get over it

i dont play this garbage monthly dayz/h1z1 clone but you're all faggots if you agree with this rule
kill yourselves

>>386530429
Because it's FFA retard, what part of that dont you get

>>386530491
Form a fragile alliance with someone then? This game has voice chat right?

>>386530430
You and I both know that if you allow that kind of shit then 90% of the time it's going to be two or three people who are steam friends who decide before the game starts where to drop so they can team up against solo players

>>386530430
So you don't want to team up you just want to have a teammate you can kill to steal his shit?
HMMMMMMMM

>>386530542
What does the first F in FFA stand for? Checkmate.

>>386530545
It does, but you'll get banned for talking to anyone.

>>386530350
>Teaming up in Free for all IS cheating

Wat? Ganging up on someone in a battle royal scenario is cheating?

ITT butthurt solo cucks with no friends

They could circumvent this on their own via server side matchmaking changes and being actively involved in moderation but they choose to just hoard money and make mediocre updates. The fact this game is so popular is less about how good it is on its own but more about how lacking all the mainstream releases are in general.

Enforcing these rules seems pretty stupid. It's like saying you can't spawncamp.

>Four people left in duos
>Two people camping the top of the hill
>Me and another solo player in a house that's about to be pushed by the blue, we're fucked
>Decide to make an alliance on the spot to try and fuck the other two guys
>We get fucked the moment we step outside anyways

it was fun though

Isn't half the fun from Battle Royale or Hunger games was seeing alliances form and crumble?

>>386530184
The more and more this game is updated and optimized, the less I like it. What's the point of public voice chat AT ALL now? So everyone can spam "china #1" at start and that's it?

>YOU'RE NOT ALLOWED TO HAVE FUN UNLESS I APPROVE OF IT
Welcome to the world of adults, sonny.
Read the EULA, you have no way to oppose this, except not playing.

>>386530719
This. Exactly this. That's what Battle Royale was all about.

Could have been cool, could have been more dramatic. I like the idea of forming an uneasy truce with another player to fuck over everyone else. But I get that a lot of people are bitches, I don't mind that.This is just one of I assume many games in this genre that we'll eventually see. A dev will probably pick up on that lack of freedom.

Lol the current state of /v/ defending this nonsense

>>386530184
>having an advantage is considered cheating now
Whats next? Winning a round will be a bannable offense?

>>386530787
It is the redditors. It is always the redditors.

>every firefight ends with us glancing uneasily at each other knowing the alliance will break at some point
This game could have had potential if "Player Unknown" wasn't such a bitch.

Why is it that every time game devs do something to reduce contention amongst the fanbase and to generally improve the quality of each game, you get a bunch of dumb autists screaming "WAAAHHH I CAN'T PLAY THE GAME THE WAY I WANT TO DESPITE IT CLEARLY BEING AGAINST THE DEVELOPERS' WISHES"

>>386530958
yes, fuck streamers, if you want to mess with them, this is the game.

Every single battle royale show or game had fragile alliance system. This is horseshit.

>>386530430
Not allowed.

>>386530943
Game became popular. Popularity is going to his head.

>"Hurrr muh "free" in "free for all"
Nigger the phrase "free for all" wasn't meant to be dissected. It means every man for himself

>>386530943
>>386531026
that's how many popular games died, they forget what makes them popular in the first place.

>>386530429
You're only allowed to say like "This game is fun". If you tell your opponents you're gonna win, that's a threat. If you tell them glhf they might feel uncomfortable that you implied they need luck to win, and making someone feel uncomfortable is against the rules.

*honks at your thread*

I'm not defending these rules, they're dumb as shit, but has anyone ever even encountered an alliance in PUBG?

Unless you're intentionally trying to queue into another squad of 4 people, I've never seen anyone ever try to befriend anyone at all. If I see someone and they're not my teammate, one of us is going to die

i always team and end up backstabbing the guy im with when we get to top 10 and i havent been banned

>>386530974
Yeah it is as if the concept this game is based on didn't have fragile alliances. Oh wait.

For all the people whining about this change, how often do you ACTUALLY have a fragile alliance?

>>386530972
Team mode = you are not allowed to kill your team mate. You exchange gear and cooperate to the max
Teaming up in solo mode = you know you will have to kill your team mate in the future. You deny them information about your status or outright lie. You hoard everything for yourself. You have to always watch your back. You never know which one is going to backstab the other first.

Try it. It's fun, well. Not anymore apparently.

I would actually play a game that doesn't enforce this "hurr durr play solo" shit.
I thought the interaction between players like forming alliances and shit was one of the most interesting things in rust.

>>386530719
That's more what games like Rust is about. This is more just your average shooter with a big map and looting mechanic. There generally isn't time to make complex alliances for stuff since the rounds are so shot.

You have clearly never played a fucking Battle Royale game with people teaming. Fuck that, it's almost impossible to play it in RUST because of kids like that do that. One time the little cocksuckers literally stalled the game indefinately and went AFK crashing a 120+ Player match and killing the entire server until an Admin got on an hour later.

You're a fucking moron if you don't think that should be a bannable offense, and don't try to loosely generalize it as, "oh well i'll team in free for all but then i'll kill the other guy in a fair fight" bullshit. Nobody does that, it's purely trolling.

Get fucked, OP. You're not looking for fun, you're looking to get your underage jollies off ruining games.

>>386531091
Use voice comms, you are surprised how many people are willing to team up to increase their odds of making the higher ranks. Which is part of the fun because the other guy can backstab you once you are of no use to him and vice versa.

>Stream sniping wasn't against the rules at the start
>Added it in after streamers themselves admitted to doing it so no one could complain about unfair treatment

>>386531189
This isn't a complex alliance shit. It is just a work together till we backstab each other shit. This is fucking survivor.

>>386531184
Rust matches take much longer than PUBG matches, the dynamics are completely different. Your "alliance" can only last like 10 minute at most before the game is pretty much over and you HAVE to kill each other.

>>386530974
If the devs want to make and find a way to enforce these rules, well that's their product to do so. If this keeps up though, I'll be refunding when it gets out of early access. If you're argument is that we should be catering to how the devs want us to play, that's another subject entirely. These terms and conditions were not there when I bought this product.

The games are 35 minutes long, fuck 'fragile alliances'
I really don't want to play against friends that queue together in solo mode

>>386531242
>thinking they need any proof to ban you

>this entire thread

What the fuck is going on? Why are people defending this?

Is this rule exempt if you're a streamer?

>>386530974
>WAAAH YOU DONT PLAY MY GAME THE WAY I WANT YOU TO WAAAH GET OUT
Only shitty developers do that. A smart dev wouldve created a mechanic against it

>>386530184
>play MY GAME the way I TELL YOU TO
Yes, that's exactly how online games are supposed to work. What are you, 12?

So are they offering refunds or?

>>386531331
it's just GOTY

>>386531321
jokes on them my family is rich chinese factory barons ill just sue them with my daddys money

>>386531357

its early access, you can literally refund whenever you want

i played like 100+ hours of KF2 and i got bored so i refunded it once it got released

>>386530184
> Do not metagame

They're putting themselves in an impossible position here and they're either going to drive their admin staff insane with all the reports that will overwhelm them which will result in mass suspensions/bans that will kill off the playerbase.

>>386531268
Which will more or less never ever happen.
This is a safeguard against people who know each other teaming up in solo mode to get an advantage at the cost of a mechanic that probably less than 0.0001% of people will ever experience.

>>386531331
Not everyone is a teenager like you. We actually play competetive games the way they're supposed to be played. At your age you want toys rather than games. We want actual games with rules and limitations.

>>386531336
Just report all the streamers and people who collaborate with them. Since literally all of them do that, the streams should stop in a matter of days.

>>386531154
>Completely missing the point
Teaming up in solo, regardless of whether or not it's your super special "fragile alliance" is against the rules because it gives you a massive advantage over people who could not make an alliance.
But more importantly we both know for a fact games would be full of faggots who are friends on steam who are working together 100% and have no intention of killing each other until they are the final 2, with absolutely no threat of a backstabbing

>>386531278
sounds about right, the more rules this game gets the less interesting it gets, less possibilities, less variables to consider in a match. Another dev needs to hurry up and snipe this genre from playerunknown.

>>386531394
wait so could i still refund dayz since its in early access even tho i bought it in 2014

>>386531305
If friends are queuing together in solo mode, it is not like they are going to get caught.

>>386531429
Yes, the advantage is the whole fucking point of the alliance, you triple nigger.

>>386530429

>>386531426

>>386531496
That's right yes.

>>386531331
Because people have literally been conditioned into being drones. Can you imagine how these people function in the workplace, a social group, or any broader societal context? Automatons just waiting for commands from above, like fucking pod people.

>>386530972
>You people are fucking retarded
They aren't retarded, they're just children.

>>386531463
And it's against the rules because no one deserves an unfair advantage in SOLO mode you fucking retard

>>386531331
Because there's legitimate reasons for the rule and 'fragile alliances' barely happen and don't fit the gamemode

>>386531568
>omg sheeple OMG OMG
Jesus christ, how's that puberty treating ya junior? Balls descended yet?

>>386531605
I think maybe they need a 'free' mode.

>>386531450

there was some sort of loophole where you could refund a game once it left early access and became a full release (as long as you stayed within the 2 hour and 14 day rule after it goes full release)

i dont know if they've fixed it yet. it won't work for Rust cos it's still early access.

because 99.99999999999% of the game teaming happens in PUBG, it's steam friends queuing together into the same solo game with no intention of ever backstabbing each other. This is unambiguously cheating.

>>386531729
If you honk near a streamer, that means you're sniping, which is an indefinite ban.

>battle royale game
>moderation

>>386531731
When the game finally "comes out", yeah. Tons of people did it with Killing Floor 2. Your time played gets reset so you have 0 hours, and you have 2 weeks to refund it.

But PUBG will never come out of Early Access.

>>386531605
>Someone lands in a spot and nets a good gun

UNFAIR ADVANTAGE.
EVERYONE SHOULD BE GIVEN A SET EQUIPMENT AND NOT ALLOWED TO GAIN UNFAIR ADVANTAGES OVER THE COURSE OF A GAME.
The island will be remodeled to a flat ground so there is no unfair high ground advantages and since no one can high it is fair.

KYS moron.

>>386531639
Alternatively, they can just ban the children.

>>386531689
Buying off another team's goalkeeper is not "creative tactics", it's cheating. Games are not about free experimentation--that would be toys. Games are defined by rules and limited freedom. No touching the ball with your hands, no secretly teaming up with members of another team etc. etc. etc.

>>386531738
The fuck are you on about? Nobody is telling anyone what to do with their money, only announcing THEY are pulling their purchases after the game releases.

>>386531781
For shit gamers, we need another dev to do it right.

>>386531729
Oh god you don't even know. They permaban people for honking near streamers.

I'm completely serious.

>>386531765
you cant made this up

>>386530184
Why not just implement a solo game mode where you can team up but at the same time are free to kill whoever you want? People who want their true FFA get what they want, people who want their fragile alliances where they could backstab or be backstabbed at any moment get what they want

>>386531801
So it's a shit iteration of the game or genre is what you're saying.

yeah once it leaves early access, it technically becomes a 'new' game. so you can refund it if you've played it for less than 2 hours and owned it for less than 14 days (or whatever it was) once it fully releases.

heres my transaction history and refunding kf2 after a whole year. i had a lot of fun with the game but it just never really felt as good as kf1. i hear it's a lot better these days, but the state of the game when i refunded it was pretty bad

>>386531817
They permaban for following famous streamers across servers, leaving and joining until you get intot he same game as them, and honking all the time to disrupt streaming, yes.

Is PUBG the Rick & Morty of /v/?
I.E, a mediocre unoffensive little thing that for some reason makes people so incredibly fucking angry they refuse to stop talking about it to the point they become obsessed with it more than the people who actually enjoy it.

>>386531875
I don't like this garbage so I don't play it, because I'm an adult. You don't like the garbage and bitch and moan and break rules and grief. Because you're literally underage.

>>386531639
Free mode and solo are the same thing. Any solo mode that allows teaming will be plagued with groups of steam friends who coordinate the entire game.
>>386531685
>WAHHHH
Get over it retard. If your precious "fragile alliances" were allowed, it would just be groups of 2-8 steam friends roaming in packs, with no chance of them backstabbing each other until they make it to the final players

I'm pretty sure this relates to a group of friends purposely queuing at the same time in solo to gang up on people rather than forging temporary alliances with strangers.

If you have server logs, it's incredibly easy. A person joins and leaves servers until they are on the same server as the streamer. Then they honk instead of playing. Then they get banned.

>>386532042
Show is good -> Show becomes popular -> Reddit talks about show a lot because ti's popular -> Reddit users come to 4chan and see threads about something they saw on their home site reddit, and try to fit in with 4chan culture by screaming about how anybody who likes the show is "reddit" in Rick and Morty threads

>>386532110
Precisely, it's a bad rule, bad game and a shit interpretation of a great genre.

>>386532115

In the instances of stream sniping they track whether the player joined and then left a bunch of games repeatedly. They wouldn't do that unless they were trying to target a specific person.

My question is HOW is this rule going to be enforced? There's nothing to stop players from doing this when you think about it. They can just keep their distance from each other and let the other(s) know where they are/where an enemy is and get around this rule completely.

>>386532172

It's completely different to dayz and such
It turns out that changing the mechanics from a persistent character on a mmo-like map with tons of survival elements to a temporary character on a 35 minute deathmatch-style map with little to no survival element6s changes the game quite a bit
Alliances make sense in persistent games, but very little in these short rounds, and the point of this rule is to make queueing together with your friends on soloqueue not allowed, which is reasonable

>>386532110
>because rules define games
Not out-of-game rules, no. If the rules aren't coded into the game, then it's just arbitrary bullshit.

Why the ever loving fuck would they solo queue if they wanted to join a friend? It's not like the matches are particularly long either, you can just wait 30 minutes and chat with your buddy in the meantime.

You're making a ridiculous stretch in an attempt to appease your conspiracy theory.

>>386532251
Why would they do that? The only reason publishers care about streamers is to attract more actual users. Streamers are just a tool. The real audience is users. In the absense of evidence, what makes you think it's more likely that they ban people for no reason and PRETEND it's for griefing?

That's not allowed in solo play. You can group up and play team modes with a friend. There's literally no reason to intentionally join and quit nonstop unless you're trying to find someone, and it's obvious he was stream sniping

It's a well-known fact by now that PU panders HEAVILY to Streamercancer.
>Makes it openly known they have no automated systems and check all reports relative to data logs by-hand and bans usually take 24 hours to be handed out
Later, some streamer pitches a fit and has a bunch of people report a guy for "stream-sniping" him (it is unknown whether he was or not,) but the ban is handed out within 1 hour. This guy who was accused of the act goes on to file a public complaint on Reddit. PU responds claiming they have an automated system in place to detect activities that pertain to stream-sniping, such as abandoning lobbies until you find the right one, etc.

To try to fit in. They're literally posers.

Think about it for a second; how would they know that a show is "reddit"? How do they know what kind of shows are talked about on reddit? I sure as hell don't know what they talk about reddit. To know that, you would have to browse the site yourself, a lot. So, you're left with the conundrum that the only people who are capable of whining that "X is Reddit" with any knowledge must be from reddit themselves, or people parroting people from reddit


So, remember kids. There's nothing more reddit than people saying "X is reddit! Stop liking it!"

If that was their intention then they should have made their definition of teaming concise with what you're saying. This rule is going to apply to people who aren't doing it with the intent to stack.

ITT: a bunch of people get mad that people using solo to group up with friends and gain an unfair advantage is now being banned.

Seriously, they have grounds for banning that shit. People were taking advantage of the solo queue to play with friends and gain unfair advantages. It has nothing to do with "fragile alliances."

>>386532535

That would be a reasonable position except you're ignoring the actual reason the rule was put in. It's because people where joining games with steam friends from outside the game and coordinating with no intention of ever attacking each other.

>>386532694
Yeah, of course that'd be the reason. The point still stands, though, that it really shouldn't matter.

Do they seriously think people will actually care about being competitive in this game? Some people will, naturally, but most of its audience is as casual as they get.

They really should just make a separate ranked mode that the actual autists can play if they want to keep this line of thinking from interfering with the meme popularity of the game.

And if what the developer said is true, that they have automated systems to check for behaviors and actions that would indicate a breach of rules and is as efficient at banning Stream-Snipers as it implies, then there would be no need to have a rule explicitly for no teaming in matches and would instead have a rule for no joining up with others with the express intent of not killing them ever and instead forming a permanent team until they are the last standing.

>>386532792

It should matter because those players have an option to play with their group. Instead they choose to gain an unfair advantage and potentially spoil the fun of many other players. It's not a super competitive game, but even if you're playing casually with friends you restrict certain things because you want to try to level things as much as possible for everyone.

>>386530184
Wait
So it is mandatory to shoot anyone on sight, or not entering the ongoing firefight (cause killing one of the shooters will be considered teaming), or enter the firefight but you qabsolutely kill everyone or be killed? What the fuck does it mean?

>>386532925
>This game will die as soon as something better comes out. Just like overwatch.

what came out to kill overwatch? i thought it just died on its own because it is boring and blizzard can't into balance or adding content.

>>386532702
Or not 11 year olds who "everyone else on here hates this so I must as well no question".

I was happy to call them disgusting retards for banning stream sniping because the streamers put themselves in that situation by willingly broadcasting their location to everyone. That's fair game in my eyes. Making pre-defined teams that communicate in discort and shit in a solo game is not fair game in my eyes so I will defend it.

>>386533008
I never mentioned fun but okay, continue defending shitty devs and their moronic pandering to heated faggots such as yourself.

Meanwhile Escape from Tarkov still has literally NO RULES and you can do WHATEVER YOU WANT apart from actual cheating with NO REPERCUSSIONS.

Get dunked on, literally who's fighting arena.

>all those fucking retards comparing teaming up in BR/Hunger Games with known people over a few days to a 35 minute deathmatch with randoms

>remove shaky alliances that can give way to betrayal at any second to appease huttbutt idiots
That said, I really don't understand playing games like this and, not really related, but friday the 13th etc with friends. I feel like half the appeal is the interactions with randoms. What's the point if you're just going to shack up with your buttbuddy and cruise on through because you brought a mate?

Making "teaming" bannable is totally fucking retarded though. Everything I hear about this game makes me glad I didn't buy it

>Keeping damage resistances in the game even after all the flak received for introducing it
>Enemy teleportation that screws over group travel, sniper spots, and solo roaming
>Keeping enemy teleportation in the game even after all the flak received for introducing it while also lying about having removed it go ahead and try it on the island map, it's the most prominent on that one

It isn't when nobody ever fucking utilizes those situational scenarios anyways is my point. If it was a legit thing that people used and didn't exploit then I would be right behind you, but the game just isn't built around those situations which is why they almost never happen without people just exploiting it.

best part is that all the good PUBG streamers scum the fuck out of solo mode with friends.

i'm in the same boat. i won't hold my breath for it leaving early access though

>>386533065
pubg came out

Now wait until destiny 2 or something else next year. It's going to kill pubg just like that.

>>386532421
From a design perspective I would say if you can't code it into the game (IE causing damage if you are near non teamate players for too long) then it shouldnt be something the devs worry about. Out of game rules should be for things like people trying to trade CP in your game.

A good example of good game design in this vein is friendly fire in shooters. If you want to discourage intentional friendly fire then code a system that punishes the player for repeated team killing/shooting. Another example is protected spawn mechanics to prevent spawn camping.

Saying dont do this thing that's entirely plausible or we ban you is terrible game design. Like I said, out of game rules should be for social/criminal aspects hat you can't code out of the game. It's not even "abuse" which in my opinion banter should be left alone, but I'll concede the happy fun friends zone that all competitive online games have become. This kind of thing, telling players they will get banned if they do a logical thing that we in no way condemned programmatically, is lazy and bad game design.

Downside of indie games is that like everything else you will have shitters like these devs who have no grasp of game theory.

>muh shakey alliances!

this shit never actually happens in the game. It's always, ALWAYS steam friends who are 100% not going to shoot each other unless they are the last 2 and then they'll probably flip a coin

>>386532785
While it's a bit of a silly example, there's a Minecraft custom game called Survival Games which is similar in nature to these types of games, albeit a touch more Hunger Games. It's shit nowadays, but it was great back in the early days.

It was ace until they started adding in community maps, of which the very first one added was the worst one up until I stopped playing around the time they merged with one of the major Minecraft Minigame server hosts.

And yes, that is what they collectively group forums, messaging boards, and social media sites as if you read the job description they put out.

Came here to post this. 99% of teaming is a large group of friends coordinating to queue into games together.

>one side is a few people out of ten of thousands spending a fuckton of time, joining and switching servers, to play with friends and have a leg up; an effort I assume might take hours just to get one successful game

>the other is a group of people who believe in taking away the aspect of makeshift teams in an order to provide everyone a fair advantage where all loot is rng and the game is still not very well optimized

It's autism vs autism in a video game; take your bets. Obviously there's nothing anyone can really do about this rule; if it irks you so much, just get a refund when it leaves early access.

>>386533228

Are you retarded? They didn't remove 3rd person, they just made another mode for people who prefer 1st person only.

>>386533205
If you think along those lines then the problem is more about the rule being too vaguely defined, which is arguable.
The goal is to make teaming up with previous friends in soloqueue bannable. But if you just state it that way, people might find ways to circumvent it. A blanket ban removes the risk of fringe cases, and doesn't really inhibit some vital and widely-enjoyed pillar of the game- genuine teams are incredibly rare, due to the short nature of the rounds
