@funkoff if this is what you bring to ladder than please just stick to custom games where you can host your own map the way you like. Quitting on people after they have waited in que is selfish and toxic.

I started my FAF career as a -700 after a half dozen games. It was pretty scary but didn't take long to turn it around. I would argue that people who quit FAF after losing their first half dozen or so games didn't really have their heart in it and were going to quit whether their rank said -700 or 300 after such a stretch.

@cocainediesel that would be cool actually in my opinion. If you could order it straight out of the gate the way you want.

@cheerios what do you suggest?

I personally think the game is already too fast. I'd like it slowed down even more if it were up to me. Good thing it's not lol.

@sainserow Thank you. Actually pretty much exclusively only play map gen for the last 2,000 or so games. I hit Astro every now and again because I like the arcade aspect of it. I think you're right though playing some 3v3 would be better than the 6v6 + I usually play.

Not trying to get off topic because I feel it's related so apologies if it leads that way.

I would love it if FAF allowed the option of not having artillery/game enders/novax in a ranked match. That way we could have amazing back and forth battles that would result with such changes to sacu's. I feel like by the time any typical 40-minute plus long match gets to the point where such T3.5 to T4 battles occur at any scale they are overshadowed by multiple t3 artilleries, novax spam and game enders concluding the match. These types of changes that make sacus more viable and allow for the epic battles we all yearn for will be very short-lived because people will always resort to building game enders, artillery and Novax spam so is there really a point in changing anything?

I love the idea of the changes but I just wonder how practical they are considering what typically occurs from the 40-minute mark onward.

I think if everyone is consenting to a ranked match that doesn't include artillery, game enders and novax then it should be allowed as long as land, sea and air and all other units are enabled. I wouldn't want ranked matches that didn't include one or more of the three theaters of war.

Aside from that I think ras sacu should be introduced into Sera... Anytime I'm Sera at the point I want to get ras sacu I end up getting a different engineer off a teammate which isn't the end of the world but we might as well have ras for sera.

These are the thoughts of an under ranked noob with 4,000 games.

I think this might be a hot key combination similar to the cheat menu. Oftentimes in games you'll see it says that a certain player is trying to cheat but all it means is that they're accidentally hitting the key combination that's trying to open the cheat menu for when a person's in sandbox mode playing around. Pretty sure this is similar but don't quote me lol

@thewreck You're still here?.... Why?

And I stand by everything I said. You guys should all sign out and never sign back in again. You would be doing the 99% a huge favor. I guess it's a matter of perspective but in my mind cleaning out the trash isn't toxic. It might be from your perspective but from the cleaners perspective it's the exact opposite of toxicity.

@thewreck I'm not having a tantrum just sick and tired of you and your little group. You're going to try and twist my words because that's all you guys do. You've been doing it for years. I'm not the only one who's tired of you guys.

@thewreck sign out and never sign back in!

@thewreck why don't you and FTX and the rest of your group quit as well.... Join the 20 others will you! My guess is FAF will flourish without you all.

@thewreck only you and fellow members of his little group would think such a thing.... You're always there to chime in with your smart alec remarks after he says some toxic bullshit and then you all act like it's not toxic.... Research the term incivility.... That's all you guys bring here and it's pathetic.

On top of that let me just say one more thing...

Jip is clearly a mature person who understands what it takes to lead. The immature people that have no concept of leadership and project management and workflows that come here and try and tear him down. Everyone else knows who you are but you don't know who you are because you are so delusional that you think you're right.

Jip can't be expected to be perfect but in my time in faf and reading the forums pretty much everyday without responding it is clear that we need him and people like him involved. Do not need people like FTX or Thomas and that little clinky group of immature people who just come here to tear down and destroy because they haven't mentally passed puberty yet.

I think the moderators need to start banning people and cleaning out some of the trash. Put it all under the blanket of incivility.... You'll be doing the community a favor, doing development team a favor.... And 99% of FAF won't even know about it. The people who come to the forums or discord channels that do know about it will suddenly realize their lives are more peaceful cuz they don't have these whiny children around anymore.

One thing is very clear after several weeks of watching various posts spiral the way this one has.

There is clearly a cliquey and very immature group of players who seem to only care about tearing down FAF because they don't get their way.... I'm not going to leave FAF cuz I love the game... But I am going to leave coming to the forum. I think everyone involved needs to take a big step back and look in the mirror and grow the hell up!

If you really have such a problem about how things are run sign off and don't sign back in again ever. It's that simple.

FTX ... I've been reading the forums for a long time and you consistently bring a negative immature and unproductive tone to everything you say and do. You should seriously quit this game and never log back in again. When you do casts you seem like a legit dude but when you start to type in the forum you turn into an immature child and you should be ashamed of yourself. You don't take any accountability for things you say or do and you act like it's okay to be such a pathetic child. You're a smart person that's for sure but you're not smart enough to be able to portray your thoughts and ideas without being a complete negative piece of crap. Grow the hell up kid.

Yeah I know I just committed a bannable offense. I'll accept my punishment.

@thomashiatt do you even play this game anymore or do you just come here to try and tear it down? Your post is completely pointless and serves no purpose.

@reckless_charger I'm thinking more along the lines of the context of a multi-billion dollar company and how they view things. As a senior manager I will often have to implement policies that corporate comes up with. I may believe they are the absolute worst decisions possible and at times it completely destroys my joy of working there because I put my heart and soul into that position and now I've got to go the 100 plus people that work under me and tell them that this ridiculous way forward is how we're doing things now. It's my job not to seed any incivility no different than it is the workers job not to seed incivility as we carry forward.

In the context of video game management.... Especially one as small as FAF I agree with you that talking about disagreeing with something to the core of your being seems excessive but it really seems like certain people feel that way about certain things and they're not able to express it in a civil manner. I find it sad that certain players decide to leave over such things but at least they leave rather than hang around and seed incivility and discontent.

@reckless_charger The key is to be able to disagree and express a differing opinion while remaining civil. To not like something at all one bit to the core of your being but yet remaining civil....

@zhanghm18 within the organization I work for we have something in our employee code of conduct called incivility. I'm sure everyone knows what that is but essentially it allows the company to dismiss an individual for disrupting the workforce and bringing down morale. They don't have to actually specifically attack character or be abusive or harassing. Essentially if they are inciting others to have a negative view of the company or are being disruptive in similar fashion then we are allowed to dismiss them for incivility.

I've never been a moderator in any type of online forum but I think a similar clause in the code of conduct should be considered.

In my opinion if certain people only seem to want to be part of this community to tear it down in some way then we don't need them. This would tie back into the topic at hand and would be one less way why certain things suck right now.

@ftxcommando nobody is shooting anyone in the head here so don't be so dramatic. Phong is making a pretty good point.... I get paid a good salary to do my job and sometimes the complaining and whining of of the masses makes me wonder why the hell I do it.... I can't imagine being a Dev for FAF doing it all for free...

I don't think anyone wants anyone to leave... But if we lose the devs we have nothing.
