A Bad Plan is Better Than None – TEAM CHAT



This is the introductory article for my column TEAM CHAT, where I discuss things that I’ve found to have improved my gameplay in team-based games. Be it a raid in WoW or a round of CS:GO, these articles aim to make you a better team member, and your team a more successful and enjoyable one.


A bad plan is better than none. Every now and then, the IGL (in-game leader) may set up a strategy that you disagree with, and there may not be time to argue it. Maybe they call for the team to rush, but you think it’ll just result in a spectacular wipe. It’s important in these cases to remember that although their plan might be bad, it will almost always have a higher chance of succeeding than the rest of your team executing the plan and you going off alone. The same goes for questioning the plan while it’s being executed. If the team is in a rush to set up for the strategy and you start to question it, team members may misinterpret the situation and split off, leaving only a fraction of the team to attempt the plan, dooming them to defeat.
Setting up beforehand is different of course. If you’re out of game or have some spare time to discuss the team’s desired outcome, brainstorming different opinions and tactics can be a great way to improve on strategies or find gaps that need to be filled. It’s just important to remember that once a plan has started to be executed, that’s it. From then on, trust your IGL, and maybe pray if you’re so inclined.

Hey everyone, I’m Franky. I am going to talk about the players choosing the way of playing the game in Black Desert Online. This game becomes harder to level up on general combat grade by 58+. Normally, in MMO games upgrading gears and weapons will just bring the player to the next step of leveling or combating, but BDO was also called a life game.
