@Nomander said in Another Novax conversation: Sat is already rebuildable. This is because it can block nukes (intentional) or get RNG hit by artillery (consequence of the simulation). Wow, I didn't know that. TY- The problem with SMD shooting down sats is that it begins to compete with nuke in terms of what its defense is, and you might as well have a nuke instead of a sat if you must avoid SMD. Ok so make it super cheap to rebuild: now it blocks nukes easily and drains SMD quickly Ok so make it build slowly but cheap, it's basically an SMD missile: how are you ever going to get 36k mass killed - 3.6k per sat downed with this unit that takes forever to even rebuild. You can't even assist your own arty because every enemy target will have an SMD. From my view, your second two scenarios (super cheap vs slowly built); are minor issues- because you can correct them just by adjusting cost. But I think your first point about SMD having (2) jobs in "what the point of its defense is"; makes sense but is multi-purposing an SMD really that bad? And in my proposed scenario; OBVIOUSLY the player does NOT need build the SMD if they don't want it to shoot down the SAT. Plus, if an SMD shoot down toggle exists the player does NOT need to use it. My contention is, and I think still stands reasonably in light of your objections, that SATs do not have an effective, appropriate counter- for players when they want it. This is not balanced. This is a hole. This needs fixing.

Jamming on scouts and strats should just be a given tbh

@tryth said in Deceiver < Stinger < Atlantis / Czar Do you think this should be a bug or a feature?: I agree with @SpikeyNoob whatever he said I will back thanks Enjoy your £5!

Well, there is still a big difference between a few modded icons and automating mass fabs... But if adding a delay to the toggle is the route to go... I'm all for it. Yeah, probably because a lot of people now have small screens with high resolution. Like 27" with 3840x2160 which with a pixelpitch of only 0.155 while my 30" still has 0.250 I'm waiting for a bigger 3:2 to come around without a hideous foot and with normal down-facing connections.

I would love to see something like where ships don't stop, they keep steaming in circles or something

I was also not happy with the cost of the additional 5 meters, but then I remembered that I use Aeon ACU as a mobile defensive overcharge turret hiding under shields late game dealing up to 15k damage to land units from 35 units away (colossus is 40), and... whatever, let it be. Additional testing will show if that's the proper cost.

@thecore said in Restructure air by delaying tech 3 air: Or maybe the meta needs to change, instead of letting the main air slot get to T3 Air at 9/10 mins mark scout to check if they are going T3 and push them hard with T2 Air. yes that is quite literally the counter to t3 air rush meta, it's just that 99% of players are either bad or lazy

@archsimkat just realized, the widow mine cloak is disabled when recharging in SC2. You can ditch the stealth entirely reminding low ranked players to build scouts, and if you want you can pair them with deceivers.

Nuke is bad

I'm actually in agreement that a misclick can or will instantly decide the game. I just don't think it warrants removing shift-g all by itself because it is relatively easy to prevent unless you aren't paying attention or don't make some egregious mistake. edit: And I don't want to sound elitist by this post. I'm not trying to say "Oh everyone's just bad it's easy to counter just git gud". I just think that there are decent ways to counter it that means most people shouldn't die to all in shift-g's much after playing against it once or twice.

If you are in a game where anyone builds 8 novax uncontested then you should be very happy when that game ends no matter what team you are on.

If you want avatar rules and guidelines. I can write 1 up just going to take a bit of time due to work and life

I am not sure what exactly you proposed? Also this is more petric's decision. I got a complete set from him, but I don't know if they are intended to be the final version.

@Haribo for anybody here looking for the anwser you have to open the game menu (f10) and click "ui mod options" If it's not there you probably haven't got the dependable ui mod installed and active

@Mach This doesnt work. The Atlantis is enormous and cannot go deep in water that is shallow. Although this solution works when water is deep enough, most maps simply dont have water that deep.

I'm not sure how often people are playing 1v1s on 4/6 spawn maps, but that's probably part of why Palms and Badlands are so good (Petric perfectly explained why these two are my equal favourite maps), and the mapgen can create that pretty easily. You could turn the mexes (and maybe reclaim) slider(s) right down to avoid having an obscene amount of mass.

@krapougnak THX

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.

How have you not realised that if you want to become better than you need not onlu practice but the theoretical part as well. Like the most efficient way to get the theory part is to watch freaking replays. You cant really imprpve yourself at a somewhat decent rate without those **this is only for sub 1700 rating.
