@Strife custom games can be ranked as well, idk what you’re saying

@ZLO said in Question about repair:

If you ctrl+k destro in water then you only get 40,5% of mass from it.
However if that is cybran destro and you walk with it on land then you will get 81% of mass

Both numbers should be lower since t2 units leave less reclaim than t1

@IndexLibrorum i must have been mistaken then, was sure i got blocked from unpausing a few times. That's one problem less ig.

Before making a somewhat lenghty explanation as to what i think the problem is, i'd like to make sure i'm not starting from a wrong assumption: in ladder (and even custom unless people decide to change the setting) everyone has 3 pauses, right? If not, what's the current system like?

@Strydxr said in Proposal for [Challenge Accounts] | Feedback Wanted!:

Also, Challenge accounts don't have to be given out willy nilly, they can have a vetting process done by either mods or a chosen committee, which may help with keeping track of them.

This is one part the moderation team think is critical for this kind of account to work. If we wouldn't limit the accounts to a very low number and allowed whatever challenge, it would just be smurfing with extra steps. And the consequences of that wouldn't weigh up to the potentional benefits.

In any case, I've read all of the responses to this thread and I'm waiting for some free time to properly collate them all and discuss it with the moderation team. I hope to soon be able to share a more fleshed out concept, or maybe even an announcement for a trial run (if our internal discussion concludes with us thinking this could work).

@waffelzNoob said in Sera navy is just too Oppressive:

10 UEF subs dealt 5325 damage to 1 atlantis.
10 Sera subs dealt 10804 damage to 1 atlantis.
33 UEF subs (mass equiv) killed an atlantis with 14 of them surviving
33 sera subs (mass equiv) killed an atlantis with 29 of them surviving

20 Seraphim subs beat 20 UEF subs with 11 remaining in "normal" scenario, 10 remaining when they were teleported into eachother.

this guy delivering the numbers thanks!

but yes that does prove the opressiveness of sera subs

Firstly, I like the AI. For someone that likes to play vs AI rather than pvp, I appreciate the work you do.

It would be great to have a setting to turn down the strat bomber hover spam. Or the ability to scale the amount of APM to a more human-like amount. I get flooded with 50+ strat bombers, each hovering out of range, flicking bombs forward. No shields can protect you and AA cant kill them fast enough. By itself, it is a minor issue, but the AI being able to focus on that while doing micro on everything else on the battlefield can make it hard to deal with.

I'm also unsure of how balanced ASF vs AI ASF combat is. I've often outnumbered their ASF while having vehicle AA below, and my ASFs get decimated while the AI ASF are barely touched.

In steam FA you can ctrl + right click to issue a formation order instantly but FAF removed that with an engine patch, and now you only have the option of holding right click to begin issuing a formation move order. You can also formation attack move by holding alt alongside right click.

Formation move is useful if you don't have the apm to keep your army in formation while moving across the map (this is not that often) but you need to because you have different speed units or need shields (snipers). You can also use formation move in place to quickly get your units into formation with a desired orientation. Some sandboxing shows it can be better than normal move orders when attacking because while it does make your units move slower, it guarantees way less bumping, so overall more units get into range faster and stay in range.

@Kilatamoro said in You guys ever thought if moving to a new engine?:

@Defiant Why would anyone want this? It's about the feeling of the game, not 3D models and unit names. We can get free from copyright.

Reasonable.

Games similar to FAF are out there now. A more direct FAF clone might still risk Square Enix, so we could give them license accountability.
