Strat bombers are fine in my opinion. For one it is very easy to snipe them either if there is only one or 20 it takes some very high level play to keep them from getting picked off.The main thing they will target in the late game will be smds or game enders. The change I would like to see that would consequently nerf strat bombers would be another nerf to nuke. Also regarding early strats the exact same thing will happen if no one on your team rushes t3 land. there will be some type of t3 unit being dropped everywhere and will kill absolutely everything

@rezy-noob said in QoL changes:

@thewheelie atlantis is bad, the fact that it is seen to deal with subs in the first place is stupid, uef has an entire unit specialised vs subs that would require rebalancing at this point.

I don't think so. Because a t2 unit has a special role nothing from that faction later in the tech tree can partially cover that role? Especially if we're talking about t4's that shouldn't be the case at all. Moreover they work differently considering you want to kite from long range with atlantis while this doesn't happen for coopers at all.

Vision is probably the best atlantis has to offer since it s damage is atrocious and vetting will take as many years as mercy removal from the game, atlantis is honestly just annoying with little to no usage.

Again you do realise they almost have the same dps as a bs right? Also if you think it takes long for atlantis to vet then you just don't really know what you're talking about when they are one of the easiest units in the game to vet and it's one of their main strengths.

I guess you agreed with grid nerf? Or you just missed it idk.

Don't really have an opinion on it.

And yeah, chrono, mercys cant compare since even their stats are imba, atlantis is just borderline unplayable

What i meant is that you said these were mega obvious things that everyone knows about but by the fact that i'm disagreeing on most of the things you posted means it's nowhere near as clearcut as you make it out to be.

Yes atlantis are bad which is why it gets a buff but it's nowhere near as bad as you make it out to be. It suffers from the same issue as vespers where you don't really make the unit because it doesn't have a proper roll or other units overshadow it (or a mix).

t1 subs aren't anywhere close to being omega bad as you say. You see them build all the time every map with water, just not in large quantities

@indexlibrorum u are totally right, that went over my head

Are you playing gap games?

Nomads is the biggest waste of time, it's a massive time sink with 0 reward.

The simple answer that nobody wants to say is No it will not get integrated. There's simply no benefit for FAF to integrate even if it would be at the bottom of the totem pole.

I understand players want it but they can't have everything.

I would like to know as well.

The seraphim destroyer feels weaker somehow without being changed. Not sure how that happened.

Snipers have been nerfed time and time again, yet nothing ever changes because they are an essential matchup unit against T3.5 units (Brick/Percival). Yet snowballing (the claimed problem) isn't the issue. Accuracy while moving is.
Revert the change of firing randomness while moving from 0.5 to 0.8 so sniper death balls can no longer kite as effectively and reduce sniper costs by 80 mass to revert the latest patch change (but keep the energy cost increase to keep preventing rushes).

Air Scouts having jamming has reduced the effectiveness of air denial against UEF air while leaving other factions in a comparatively weaker position. So many jamming signatures can really become a potent phantom HP pool for flying above SAMS.

I remember seeing a few videos of Jip and Spikey playing around with a variable stun time based on range. Worth integrating, in my opinion, purely because it's so cool. It does also offer up some new and interesting degrees of freedom for the balance team to play with, though.

With such a change, chrono would naturally affect longer-ranged units less, and since those tend to be slower, maybe this would coincidentally represent a step in the right direction for balance. Depending on the stun duration at the outermost perimeter, It might also allow fast units to intentionally run around the ACU, enabling a surround, and it would punish the attacker less for stepping into the danger zone accidentally.

Here's a link to one of the videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mv1TCW9jO9w&t=785s

As you can see, the scripting and effects work has already been done, all it needs is a balance pass.

@Tagada
The BrewLan Mod by Balthazar has the option to upgrade the Aeon T2 shield to the T3, including the animation for the upgrade. I'd love to see the T2 upgrade to T3 integrated into FAF, provided he's ok with it.

We've been trying to fix that, but to no avail 😞

I'm not sure flipping health and damage solves the problem of mercy snipes. The current situation feels oppressive, I think, because any counterplay to mercies needs to be preventative, there is no mitigation possible. Other air snipes give you a small time window to dodge and bring AA or inties to help, but you get no such chance at saving yourself with mercies. And since one can use spread-attack to force air units to clump, requiring many more mercies for a snipe doesn't help with what I described and would only amount to a cosmetic change, at least from this point of view, I think.

We really need to just stay away from gun range, it's too important to fuck with.

Remove radar from Cyb frigates and make moles amphibious.

Edit: And I guess boost mole radar when in water from 45 to 80? Yadda yadda radar waves work better in water or something.
