I personally took that as he was laughing at the fact that someone brought up honor in an online game, but that could just be me...

I sync in RA because TA is a joke and I can't stand playing it anymore. The skill level amongst the players on your team no longer reflects how well your team will do. There will always be a few teams that are playing a build that is so unbelievably retarded that I believe a monkey could be trained to play.

i recently beat a Wins sync with an assassin that had sharpen daggers on my team

am i a hero?

probably

Fuzzy Taco · Nov 18, 2008, 02:22 AM // 02:22

my guild syncs RA a lot.

and we're horrible, myself included.

and we run bad builds.

and we have fun.

and that's why i play this game now.

Syncing RA can be really ridiculous at times. I have nothing against syncing two people, provided the two people are running RA (as opposed to TA) builds. Even three people is fine if they don't coordinate builds very well. Syncing four people with perfect TA builds and Ventrillo coordination into RA is just stupid though. You will usually crush RA teams and nobody will have a chance against you, but so what? Who wants to play against Gothspike in RA anyway?

I wish ANet bans people who do this, it's an insult to RA as a whole.

Yeah, last week some guild synced four people with TA builds into RA and lost to my RA team (no idea how that happened), after which I scolded them and one of them reported me and banned me. What the heck, very well done ANet, at least ban the people who ruin RA too.

It's so RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOed up that you even have posters bragging about their RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOing RED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GORED ENGINE GOed guild sync exploits. I can't believe anet's done jackshit though... Wait yes I can.

Any official word on this?

Sad thing is, we go into TA, get like 2 matches and then we stand around listening to nature sounds until we've had like 9 restarts.

Then we get fed up and sync RA, get 10, go to TA, win 2 matches, and then get restarted 9 more times.

We wouldn't do it if there were more TA teams, but everyone knows TA and GW in general are dead. So meh.

Would be pretty easy to fix syncing too. Just pool RA players into each other. Make it so being in Korean districts will still put you on a team with AD players or Euro districts. Only people who will complain will probably be the syncers (though, I suppose there's still some "elite RAers" out there that will just be upset with having to play with AD trash).

Could cause euro and american players to have to play on the other sides servers more often though. That, at least, could be a bit of a downside to it. I already want to just go afk when I load into Euro servers in AB, since teams in AB are all pooled together already.

If RA districts got pooled in with the American districts I would never RA again. Not because I consider myself 'elite' or anything; but because I don't want to play with a mending warrior or flarespam ele on my team every fcking match. The division of districts is a good thing. Until syncing becomes a major problem (aka no one is playing, everyone is trying to sync) it's not that big of a deal. Right now you lose one match here, and one match there - but you're not facing synced teams every match.

Sun Fired Blank · Nov 21, 2008, 05:46 AM // 05:46

Let them sync.

What's the most they're going to make out of it, a ten win lead when they get to TA, where they'll then get destroyed by any of the (few remaining) decent Euro or (even fewer remaining) American TAers after a few thousand NOPs? It's not like everyone doesn't know who the most notorious syncers are. TA's such a ridiculously reclusive community that everyone pretty much knows everyone else.

qp? KFC? Basically all of the really mediocre tombs guilds? So they screwed your RA run. Big deal. Let them suck and let them flash their HA emotes. It's not like 99% of them are ever going to make high glad rank anyways, and it's not like the glad rank has been taken seriously for god knows how long.

I'm not 100% sure, but I believe international district groups are first in the queue to face teams from the Asian districts. At least I've noticed playing from ID that you face a lot more guild syncs and groups that probably synced, because leaving from America you almost never face sync teams. It's not a huge problem for those of us that just do RA for fun but some nights it can get pretty bad.

I agree on the main point it's not much fun to get wrecked over and over by the same team if you're trying to run balanced'ish when a good group is in. I'm bad and don't even bother doing TA when the Euro teams are active. Izzy is never going to revitalize TA with skill balancing and a format overhaul so we are where we are. Overall between the extremely good groups that rape everyone, glad farm gimmicks, the small number of American players and RA syncers I find RA and TA both pretty boring =/

blah blah blah /tissue

DnF too is into synching lately xP.

and all ppl complaining about the restarts in TA...if u play in morning euro hours dont be surprised. Play in late afternoons when most of the better teams play too.

Sun Fired Blank · Nov 21, 2008, 09:09 AM // 09:09

Not surprised, 12 chars.

I think we play just as you wake up XD

Hundbert · Nov 23, 2008, 01:25 AM // 01:25

We would never synch. This is a serious accusation

Foe · Nov 25, 2008, 01:58 PM // 13:58

This is a serious discussion, Lindeman. Do not attempt to make light of it or those involved. Its important. Losing an ra match to these scum can be emotionally devastating. Please, my dear friends, do not forgo your ra honor. The sanctity of this holy venue must remain pure and intact.

Teh Jace · Nov 26, 2008, 12:23 PM // 12:23

Last time I checked lindeman was syncing shove spike... rly disgusting, lindeman :/ I will never invite u to my pro wammo team again...

SuTiH · Nov 26, 2008, 01:11 PM // 13:11

first of all: if not every1 in the past would v QQed about leavers, there wouldnt be this stupid dishonorable system, so u could leave when ur team is full of idiots, then the "need" to sync wouldnt be so big
2nd of all: its funny

and then LOL.. -> THIS:

its just meh, screw TA. there are just too little players active in TA. which makes only the hardcore/diehard/no lifers continue and pwn everything else.

if u would always play against ppl worse than you and steamroll them under 1 minute, you dont learn how to play. if you play against better teams, u see what they do, how they play, u learn from your mistakes, you get better.. this is far more interesting imo

and run into shove spike?
is there anything more easy to beat?? Oo (except crash)
