Spring Info

Because people apparently cannot understand how it works and try to fight it and complain, juggler was mostly disabled now.

– it wont split any game (you can have 32ppl small teams now)
– it wont auto enable if you join managed host (with star in ZKL)
– it wont try to put clan members together
– it wont divide players be elo
– it wont try to save “too small” games by sending people there who like this type same as their current game

If you still want to play proper small teams, you have to manually enable quickmatch (click on quickmatch button and set your preferences).

EDIT: Actually detrino had an idea for “split on start” so now it experimentally splits small teams at start if size is over 15

EDIT2: big and small teams hosts were merged to just “teams” which splits at start if number of players > 20.
We also added “SILLY MAPS” autohost which only hosts featured “special” maps like trolol and splits above > 30 players.

Some long-awaited balance changes in this one – whether they work as intended remains to be seen 😉
