Hey everyone, I’d like to bring up something that has been bothering me (and I’m sure others too): the SR (Skill Rating) system on ETL1. In theory, SR sounds like a good idea. Reward players for winning, give a sense of progression, maybe even improve matchmaking. But in practice, it’s doing the exact opposite and is actively harming the gameplay experience. Here are some of the main issues I’ve noticed: Team switching to protect SR Players constantly switch to the stronger team just to avoid losing SR. This completely breaks team balance and makes matches feel one-sided before they even properly start. Players that get auto-switched move to spec or simply rejoin the other team. Leaving before the match ends A lot of players leave right before a loss is inevitable, just to avoid a SR penalty. This ruins the match for everyone else and leads to incomplete or uncompetitive rounds. Focus on SR over gameplay Instead of playing for fun, teamwork, or objectives, people are playing for SR. You see selfish behavior like stat-padding, avoiding risky plays, or not supporting teammates if it might hurt their rating. Discourages fair competition Rather than encouraging players to improve, SR promotes avoiding losses at all costs. That means fewer players stick through tough matches or try to turn a game around. New players get punished Less experienced players end up with low SR and get stuck there. It can be frustrating and discouraging, especially when they’re matched against stacked teams. Toxicity increases When SR is on the line, people take losses more personally. This leads to blame, arguments, and generally worse vibes on the server. Doesn’t reflect actual skill Winning or losing in a team-based game doesn’t always represent individual performance. A good player can lose SR simply because their team was unbalanced. ET has always been at its best when people just jump in, play, and enjoy the game without worrying about rankings or penalties. The current system pushes players toward selfish and unfair behavior instead of teamwork and fun. What do you guys think? Tl;dr: Remove SR, it improves the game.3 points

You certainly did signal something. Anger management issues. This is not how normal grownups start a conversation.3 points

Well, I reverted back to original version following the feedbacks. It means it removes: - randomization of player to be balanced - no move feature below 3mn left duration - announcer to encourage self balance due to massive damage difference between teams3 points

Hello, thought I'd reintroduce myself again, and a lot would remember me using the alias valk. That alias is no longer in use and now go by the name of boo, but you can also call me Ryan. I am 29 years old and soon to be 30 in April. Since the last time I was introducing myself here, I have had a baby, and had a boy, named Oliver, he's nearly a year and a half and one of the reasons why I use boo is because he loves me calling him that. I also started doing jiu jitsu a number of weeks ago and really like going to every class, three times per week. Enjoy the server a lot, and find myself mainly at ETL1 a lot. Thanks for the read, and kind regards, boo.2 points

Server is now updated. Should not give false gamehack alerts. Did also give it to me when joined earlier. Inforerces contacted me after hes ban so reminded him about rules and respecting our members. Hes unbanned today. Let me know if he still causes problems. If there is doubts about cheating, we need demo from it.2 points

Even I have time to play... Come back2 points

Yep! That was the level Beginners had some months ago, then some of our usual players didn't come back, or we could see them from time to time... Maybe they are coming back since some spawncampers have been banned... I hope the server will keep this number of players now2 points

I don't know man. For someone who doesn't like us and don't wanna be here - you are still here. You know all the inside-outs of beeing TM member and enforcing rules, the way different members/admins enforce them (some more strict, some more lenient) and how this is a job to benefit a community. So if you wanna be in TM server you got to behave and understand that while you were TM member, you were privileged a bit more because we could have talks with you in member section of the discord hub and you were sometimes forgiven more than regular guest would have. But leaving TM and closing the door behind you with a band and constantly burning all the bridges - you are just becoming more and more someone who just do not fit in the server. There are more servers to go to, there are other communities to join or to start so if we are such communist to you then you should start searching new home elsewhere. But it never is, my friend. Never with you. Sad. But you are still getting replies and not shown the door, so there is still a chance to fix your shit and behave. Don't f*ck it up. Happy halloween weekend to you.2 points

Stypek I believe you can understand TM are players before being admins and we can’t see everything everytime…I didn’t witness the situation that led to your ban but I can guess that you asked a nasty way, as often with you, and that you didn’t get listened mainly due to that. And well, communists, mushrooms, Russia, Poland, voting system or whatever else you are rambling about on a daily basis we just don’t care. It’s a video game, not a politic debate area, I’m sure there are places dedicated for such discussions. In short, I would advise not to go further in your adjectives now or situation could only worsen, we don’t have time nor energy to debate for days.2 points

Hi all, I was wondering if it would be possible to tweak the auto-balance system so that players who have been on a team from the start of a map are less likely to be switched late in the game. Instead, balance changes should prioritise moving players who joined midway through (or later), unless there really are no other options. The reason I bring this up is that I have been switched quite a few times with only 3–5 minutes left, despite having played the entire map from the beginning. It feels especially unfair when someone who joined my team just minutes earlier gets to stay, while I get moved. It is frustrating when you have spent the whole round fighting hard to support your team and push for the win, only to be pulled away at the last minute. For me, it is not just about SR (though that matters too), but about the time and effort invested in backing the team you started with. I completely understand that balancing is important, and sometimes it is unavoidable that long-standing players get moved. But in most cases, I think it would feel fairer if late joiners were the first ones affected. Just my two cents... curious to hear what others think.2 points

Ok let's try this idea. I added a condition to deactivate the autobalance when there is less than 3 minutes remaining on the map. Also takes into consideration the time bonuses. Let's see if it helps and don't hesitate to bring new feedbacks.2 points

I agree with you. Imagine autobalance in soccer match where one player contributes to team whole match and in the end will be put to other team because other team is underperforming. Idk if there have been more changes made to autobalance but by default it should swap the player that joined most recently. Issue is or was that game considers each match as all the players joining in again. So the one who takes longest during map change is considered the most recent player even if u have played for hours2 points

Hello, I remember your case. You were pissing off all server with your mortar all day long and were pretty proud of this, taunting other players. That's because of players like you that we modified the server. Indeed it's no more possible to stand mortar in protected areas, was too unfair. Also, the rules changed and you'll find rule 18 covering the fact that it is no more allowed to exploit mortar the way you were doing it. I don't know what happened for your kick but I believe the admin who kicked you already had in mind your past behavior with this mortar and your proud intention to piss off all server with this weapon. We don't tolerate such behavior anymore, fun is for everyone, not only for you.2 points

Thanks for the map creme brulet and running the best server right now! Here are 5 of the best unknown/forgotten maps.. If you have trouble finding the maps let me know, they should be relatively easy to find.. Escape 2 Final (Snow map not to be confused with TE Escape 2 on the server right now) UJE Watten Etdo Radar Laboratory Wurttemberg (beta4) Sedes (Indoor Egyptian Slog so no ARTY!) BTW All of these maps were tried and tested and should play very well on the server with minimal bugs. i hope they come in handy,, Tbh map checking is very time consuming - so that's why I made a refined list, but too many too mention in one post - if you want more let me know! Peace, Zetta x2 points

as many of you can see, this section of the forum is quite empty. There are reasons for that. Because we are more active in our specific forum categories that are not accessible for you now. The shortest way how to be able to see that (heated) parts of this forum is to be the TM member. If you are interested, just play on our servers and sooner or later the recruiters will reach you! Or, write them a message Aswell if you will have whatever on your mind, feel free to contact anybody from the management. We are here and open to you!2 points

Good answer, But direct a GREAT answer Eagle gave, Want to become a TM member ? Just make sure you have 10.000 XP, let me know you want to become a member, and as Recruiter I will help you to become a member. As a member you can see whole forum, and all discussions.2 points

They never had a live fire fight. I was really disabled. People like this are killing the team game called enemy territory. These are not team games, they are all against all. then they get hysterical if they don't win. This is not a territory, it's a nursery or a gay club where you can troll on your parents' money. Another big disappointment is the behavior of the Poles. We Hungarians consider the Poles to be a brotherly people as part of our historical heritage. We even have a saying about this: Our sword is one, our fight is one. In comparison, they behave like the dog-headed Tatars in 1242. if they perform like this in real life... their ancestors lost in a week, these wouldn't even last 3 days.1 point

I understand that my reputation follows and it is hard to believe that in that last interaction all I wanted to point out, is the rule that is hard to police over, and maybe Tm would consider adjusting it. It is what it is. Thanks everyone for your time to read all of this and watch the demo. Thank you all for your replies; well recieved as a food for thought. Thanks to @Ctrz for the last sentance, always grateful for a little bit of positivity. Have a wonderful weekend all. PS. Not trying to tell you what to do, but I think the topic is done.1 point

It is not a matter of being tolerant or not, it's the way to avoid anarchy (Tower of babel) in the main chat. You still can learn english with something like Duolingo or Busuu, and you will be free to communicate 😉 Ce n'est pas une question d'être tolérant ou pas, c'est le moyen d'éviter l'anarchie (la tout de Babel) dans la chat principal. Tu peux encore apprendre l'anglais avec Duolingo ou Bussuu, et tu seras libre de communiquer1 point
