    The current pre-release of the client ("pioneer" in the version) is only compatible to itself. So you can only play with other testers. Please be aware!

    AEONS are GARBAGE!

      I thought they got buffed last patch to be 2.4 like GC so I edited it. I just manifested by own proposal to buff them I think. So sad.

        Also I'd like to mention that Aeon gets another anti-Percival unit in their double range double shield ACU long before a GC can be built, so it's not like Harbs are even bad on one-lane maps where in theory Percivals always kite and win. Harbs are great for keeping Percies off your ACU in that situation because the Percies have to try to swarm your ACU to kill it instead of dying one by one but that requires moving forward into Harbs/shields.

          Aeon is just boring to play tbh, even if they are balanced or the strongest.

            Seems like this type of complaint all stems from what I believe makes FAF so great, the fact that certain things are only possible for higher skilled players meaning the skill gap actually means something.

            Just because I'm garbage at using aeon doesn't mean aeon is garbage.

              @Dorset I have 12000 games.... i think i have hability to play with every faction.
              But, his weakeness are giant in dozen times.

              I cant consider a good faction just in case after t4.

              Thats the reason i consider some buffs in PDT2 like AOE, velocity of some of his units.
              Buffs on build rate acu.

                12000 games doesnt mean anything. there are 0 rated with 8k games and cant play any faction at any stage.
                Rating matters. and youre 1400. so you didnt even got the fundamentals of the game...so no. i dont think that youre capable of playing "every faction"

                  @Seraphim-Noob Despite being unnecessarily rude in your comment and displaying such arrogance, you simply keep ignoring the main points I raised.

                    With all due respect Aya, Sera wasn't being rude or arrogant he was being straightforward. He's right. Ranking is what matters. You can't say that because you have 12,000 games you can play every faction as good as a 2K rated player. They understand things and are capable of doing things that we can't at level 1400. Rating is what matters. I have 5,000 games which is like twice as much as many of the 2ks I play with but I am a fraction of the player they are.

                    Reading the deep insights that FTX (and others) outlined in this post basically answered all of your points, you're just not wanting to accept them.

                      @FtXCommando Please try and find a more constructive way to say what you want to say. Sarcasm and thinly veiled insults are not conducive to a productive conversation.

                        But it was rather ridiculous how quickly the blaze could move.
                        I would still like the Oblivion AOE to be increased to match it's graphic.

                          For a bit of "fun" I decided to go back in time to Nov 10, 2016 on Github to a release by Zockyzock. As far as I can tell, this is the first record still in existence of a balance patch for FAF. If anyone else can find an earlier record, please let me know.
                          But I decided to scroll through the changes, just taking note of changes to Aeon. From what I can gather based upon the buff/nerf ratio, Aeon must have been silly OP on the steam version of the game. Did anyone here play SupCom:Alliance on steam? I would love to hear about your stories about the gameplay, especially if Aeon were as OP as they seemed from looking through the FAF balance notes.

                              @Arran If I recal restorers were the OP meta. No mobile T3 AA, high unit health, etc.
