Well @Sheikah already started XD but yes since normally all games fit on one site filtering is not really too much of a benifit

I'm also not a big fan of adding more and more subforums. Tagging might be an alternative but I didn't find a way to nicely filter forums by tags.
The search can do this but it doesn't look that good 🤔 (example: search for tag mapping in subforum tutorials)

Tried looking through settings, didn't see anything for that.

I would happily agree with FTX, and i dont believe we should be balancing the game for PvE though maybe a differently balanced gamemode 🤔 because of a AI Developer, its honestly really hard to do real ai improvements and work and etc with the way balance is right now.

To simply describe balance issues, bascially the balance is forcing us as AI Developers to develop our AI in a very specific way that i keep in mind most of dont like in reality and simply put the AI cant keep up in the way the balance is right now. The game is just too fast especially mid game and late game and even early game. Eco in FAF scales too quickly, The Meta is too strong and the balance is restrictive on what you can actually do in the game. I mean like seriously you do it the meta way or the highway. Thats how FAF balance has always been.

I have played LOUD, and ill say it here and right now, that the balance on LOUD is a lot more fun because i have choice and that choice lets me play the game more happily and more creatively. Thats what should be important and fun. I feel like we stress that we are a pvp community so much that we forgot
Quoted From FTX "That half the faf games are launched with a single team" which means in reality we look over 50% of faf in favor of the pvp community when we should be balancing ourselves truly.

A link to old forums would be good. There is some information there which would be useful for a while still. IE LOUD project links.

@Scoot said in Fairness % of rating:

pretty easy to filter those as duplicates with names like that.

For a human, yes it's obvious. For a programmable algorithm - which would be required here - it's not. And yes, I am talking from real world software development experience.

You need an algorithm with a high rate of matching names that belong together, but at the same time you need a super low rate of false positives and these are conflictive goals.

In the end you have like 80% auto-matching and still need to process the rest manually. This is not easy task in a map vault of a few thousand maps. And that just covers the status quo. New maps are uploaded every day and they need to be covered as well.

This forum potentially sends out summaries and stuff like that, thats why it is asking for consent.
Eventually, you can configure the level of email notification to your liking (and if I saw it correctly by default it should not send anything).

I cannot deactivate, neither do I even care about it. This is default software, we're not gonna reprogramm it because someone is afraid to consent to something that is a legally delicate topic. If you don't trust the FAForever administration to not spam you via a fucking forum, stay out of the forum or stay out of FAF, I don't care.
