After catching a fleet mate telling the host to go with a pcv and a cv1 in a gb2, it
made
me realise - do people simply not care about balance anymore?

Cast your vote; I will update as each page goes.

Wait for a balanced game or go as soon as you can.



To clarify, we are just talking about GB2 here.

Results:
I stopped counting since there are a lot of opinions posted that are not binary
answers.

However, for those interested it seems the majority are for fast games, although
there are still a reasonable number of people who would rather wait for more CV's -
whether it be for balance or merely for the hope that it will mean there is 1 cv for
each teams flanks.

The problem I've noticed is alot of people who host a room want to wait for it to be
completely full. . . Why? I've no idea.

Personally I'm happy if a room starts with 20/4. 20/2 only if the CVs look equal.

I thought it was normal room question >.>''

GBs doesnt deserve a post or even a question about balance, GBs are for quick leveling
and ppl takes GBs so seriously, allowing 10subs to play...

GB1 with manual balance was the closest to normal room & fast lvling type, best combo
for lvling..

In the end you can't balance skill but I would wait for at least 4 CVs if it's NOT a slow
day. Blitz of course is another story - 16 and go. I've taken so much abuse for not
waiting for 36 lol.

PS- Ledan smarten up.

Fast games without a doubt !

I don't mind if it's balanced or not. If it's in my favor, then hooray I got a free pass.
If it's stacked against me, then I take it as a challenge to triumph against odds.

Over time, it should even itself out, meaning you get your fair share of games pro
and against your side.

Personally, I feel it's more fun that way. You take the cards you're dealt with and
make do with it, instead of needing everything perfectly balanced to be able to play.

It doesn't take long to wait for an extra CV after the server merge. I would go with balanced.

However, if the game is at 9 minutes, then fast...

A modicum of balance for me, with as much speed as possible.

A 4 silver cv1 vs a pcv is usally not on, but if it's one of the many ineffective bw's vs a
fighter equipped cv1 I have no problem.

Waiting to fill 8 cv's, while there's already 4+ cv's that will not split in a totally
unbalanced manner, doesn't appeal to me.

fast.

the days when hosts were required to actually host are long gone, thanks to the
genius who came up with split and go.

i will start any room i host as soon as possible.

larger room = more subs to avoid, more AA ships to avoid or lag me, more CVs to
bomb me or blind me. more waiting time for 20/8, more waiting time for CVs to scout
(or not) while i'm blind, more waiting time running away from subs.

in a smaller room, the chances of 1 person (me) being able to affect the outcome,
and win, is greater. more xp per hour as well.

i'll take the smaller and faster rooms anytime. the balance may be off, but i have a
50% chance of being on team with better or worse CVs. so does everyone else. and,
in a big balanced room, one also has a 50% chance to be on the winning team. both
big and small rooms are equal here. the reasons i listed out above make smaller
rooms much more attractive to me.
