Hello! I'm Javi and as you may have seen, lately FAF newshub has been pretty slow / showing old events and not really getting updates. Currently the Newshub is working with two people (Fury and I) when we used to be a team of four. Nonetheless, we are looking for ANYONE that can help with any of the next:

• Linking videos, tournament posts or other FAF contributions that you think would be interesting for most FAF players.

• Writing a title and a small descriptions (1-2 sentences) for news such as tournaments or an amazing cast.

• Creating Images/Media for the newshub (such as simple images with a text or something related to the news being presented).

Here below you can see an example of all three things together.

You can help us whenever you want and how ever you want, you don't have to be the next bestselling book author or Leonardo Da Vinci in photoshop. We are just looking for people that want to lend a hand to FAF and this is a very good yet easy way to give back to the community.

You can either post your discord tag/contact info and what you can do OR join the FAF Newshub Discord at https://discord.gg/WxzQU795YA

Here is my submission, fresh af from the oven xD

I love how it seems the submissions all had different ideas in mind, we ended up creating multiple FAF trailers that are equally sick!!!

To voice my personal experience regarding the candidates...

When I entered FAF, I clearly remember the FtX dude with a mongolian icon answering all my beginner questions on #gameplay-and-training channel

At this point, I didn't even know that I should ctrl-K to quit, but Player Councilor FtX helped me. He was the guy that was always on the Discord chat answering questions. No matter how thoughtless or obvious the answers were, FtX is there a great deal of the time answering questions.

That's a guy that cares about the community because HE IS in the community. Before this election, I would have never had an idea of who the fuck is Francias, Morax or Emperor Penguin.

I know FtX isn't some saint but god damm he does a good job, I prefer having a hard working dude that shows up than some randoms appearing out of no where promising me to make FAF perfect and magically change everything for better (but only IF they get elected).

Hello everyone! as you may now, the current website has a picture from Supreme Commander 2 https://www.faforever.com/. We are currently looking for someone to change the picture for something from FAF / Supreme Commander.'

So anyways, I'm looking for someone that can create a goooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooood looking picture for the website. It just needs to features fighting or epicness in units. Thanks!

@sheikah Well albeit it doesn't have your name on it, I haven't heard anyone complain about the map gen. It's truly an amazing contribution to FAF and I appreciated heavily, it really adds freshness and it leads to creative engagements in competitive scenes. Thanks for your hard work!

Ladder: 1298
Global: 1300

Well tbh I think something more action oriented or "epic scale" oriented is what I'm looking for. However, I don't control/manage the website so tbh, it's whatever we (or whoever has the power to move the website) will decide as a community

What a shame is to see you leave Biass, I hope you return to a better FAF one day

Sign me up bb

I love the addition of Stickleback Ridge, I love seeing new and fresh maps! But dislike how Open Palms stayed again on the pool. I think Open Palms has been played so much and would prefer to see newer/different maps (I don't know much about map balancing and stuff so, it's just a personal preference and not an objective criticism)

@ftxcommando I'm already getting PTSD thinking about tanks trying to access a repair station lol.

I think land units are more expendable than air so it's normal for them to not be repaired / re-fueled.

I would recommend the mod to every new player. The game is unreadable / very exhausting without easy to see icons. Does a new player need to know the difference between a comp with 1 pillar or moongoose? I think we should make the game as nice as possible for them.

I would pay to see Aurico and Grimplex to see if the master has surpassed the student.

@biass said in Downsides of the Advanced Strategic Icons mod:

When you plateau as a 1200 in ladder, please come back to this discussion and consider again why this might be a detriment to your understanding.

I use the ASI on medium and I'm 1400 ladder so, let me know when I'm going to plateau bb

Also, I don't believe the icon mods will make anyone better or worse. It's just a matter of perception to me since, the icons only change what we can or can't see. It won't make me change my BO, make my units move more effectively or spend my resources better.

Yes, I understand that maybe you might miss / not be able to gather information about that mixed army comp. However, I feel that the same can be said that the mod might make you not miss certain things/units/tech transitions.

At the end of the day, I hope I keep climbing so I can prove how far one can reach with ASI.

I think this is so wrong lol, lately I've seen 4-6 dual gaps and alot of mapgen, canis, setons, and many other maps.

I originally created this, I have the original on the same size as the website image
