FAF isn't like it used to be.

@magge Mutable markers would have fixed a lot of harassment. Muting in chat settings should also mute markers.

@its_time_to_duel When I get tired of my allies, I play 1v1. No need to explain myself to anybody. Sometimes I even mute my opponent right away and pretend they are a bot without pausing. I also don't care if I lose or win in 1v1, as my loss will not make anyone angry: I just play. It makes my games super comfortable.

@melanol Totally I play the way i wanna play. I have been playing unrated supremacy games cuz thats how i used to play back in the day. Does not matter the map i will always play unrated cuz its no fun dealing with people who just do not care about you all they care about is their wins to losses ratio

At least one person has asked me to make a mod that will mute chat + markers so they can allow their kid to play FAF
There should be a "child safe mode" for FAF that will mute in-game communication and mute client chat

Not much of a point in playing team games if you are going to explicitly prevent all communication to and from your teammates.

Angry randos. If they were your team, you would be speaking to them in Discord.

And that's a great reason why most people would not choose that option.
That doesn't mean no one should have the option.

some peopel just want to enjoy the game without communicating so much. if you want to play higher ranked you need to play harder, this applies to every rank up to 1800+ which is maybe the rank where it boils down to style and day performance. what do you want as 800? being all the time the top ranked palyer and everybody plays worse than you? or being lower ranked and everybody owns you? in good balanced matches your teammates and you can defend nasty strategies of your enemies

I don't know how to say this. I'm laughing so hard right now. [quote]The community has no Originality anymore its the same 4 maps over and over and over again. DualGap, Astro Craters, Seton's Clutch,[/quote]
You have got to be kidding me. You are suggesting you played when the game came out. The stand alone expansion forged alliance? Back in 2007? That's when I started to play. I even got the original game around the same time, just to see for myself the differences.
There was absolutely no doubt that Setons Clutch would be played for the next 20 years every day by a lot of players. The game was made simply for this map. The sandbox feature was added so players could practice their build orders over and over again.
I played a game. This game: https://replay.faforever.com/21842575 With It's time to duel and his friends. Only player as good as me was seraphim com. A great German player.
Free for all. I defeated "steele" to my right. And then I defeated it's time to duel to my left. And then I almost defeated Seraphim-com acu (100hp and my spider died). And then I was defeated.It's time to duel: You and your friends hosted this map. And I joined. This suggests that not all players play just gap/astro/setons clutch.
But then your friends lost. And then paranoia took over. Or insulted ego's. Because your friends became mean. They insulted the players that joined your game that weren't your friends. And when I suggested he was wrong he and your other friends targeted me for their ego trip. Supposing I had made a secret alliance and I had attacked him just after he was attacked. WRONG! I never did. I said watch the replay and you will see it didn't . But nope. Then your friend kicked me from the lobby telling me I was a cheater. I private messaged you and you repeated what your friend told me. Now you make a thread complaining in general about a general issue that is your own fault. Edit: It appears to me that you made a lobby just to make an issue out of nothing. To what? Convert other players to GAF?

@quantumtyphoon Free for all is where the toxic waste starts spilling out of the barrel, in any game. I almost never join such games
-
Just played several games of Dota 2 in anonymous mode, and I think it is the best recent invention in gaming: No one knows who you are, no one can message you, all chats are disabled. It made my games so much more comfortable: I don't have to tolerate my "teammates" and they are unable to make me want to ALT+F4.
Also, just ALT-F4ed from a FAF game because of my "teammate"

Can you mute pings/banners/and all the stuffs?
Its sad,... sometimes its not even me, I watch new players join a 'noob/all welcome' game and others lose their shit on them for not building enough air or so. It would be nice to be able to mute those offensive pings.I recently returned to this game and it does seem a bit more toxic. I never submitted any reports before ever, but just in this year alone I have submitted two.
