the fix got reverted, because it made more games unrated

are we back to the old meme "developers playground" ? Been too long since I heard it.

btw you are always allowed to take a look at how thing are being discussed in the PR, like the one we are actually talking about : https://github.com/FAForever/fa/pull/3292

I think it showcase well, that we aren't blindly adding option and feature "just for the sake of it". The same discussion happen in a lot of other PR, to decide whether or not it will be included.

"if we're adding this why not add advanced target priorities to core FAF?" It was ruled out by the previous game councillor, not to make the game to hard to understand for new players. But if you think it should be in, you are fully welcome to make a PR, and we will discuss if it's worth it of being integrated

@notales said in Outsourcing new CPU scores for lobbies:

Setup
i5-2310 at 2,95 Ghz
Integrated grafiks
8 GB DDR3

CPU score old
241

CPU score new
289

After 20 min gameplay I ussally got to -1 max at setons
In most dual gap maps -2 when around 45 to 1 hour if im unlucky.
In 99% of all the games I play im not the one slowing games down. Never got enyone wanting me to leave. Now they just dont want me in the lobbys enymore at all
Have 1,1k games played without eny problems, but I gues I wont be allowed to play this game from now on.

those are speed evaluation made before the performance changes right ?

here is an explanation on how to use new strategic icons. It would help the person that will make the UI mods.

Also since we made improvements in term of performances of the game, the previous benchmark that people did would have been skewed anyway.
This new calculation of CPU/RAM score should be better at understanding ones computer performances.
I'm all up for people reporting their score and how good their computer can run the game with the new performances improvements.

czar doesn't have omni.
also it's only the second hotfix

i'm pushing an hotfix rn to fix the GC not dying

Not sure about the not so subtle change of speed that it would require though

gotta love the speed

I didn't change the explosion fx, just the decals

if you can increase the size or modify the look of the flying drones if function of their tech, then i'm all for reducing their number

@veteranashe it cannot take out a gc, since it has omni

The russian video made by lenkin calling to vote against ftx ?

hello, thanks for your report. We were able to fix the issue thanks to your help.

well maybe he prefer to lose on 20x20 than on 5x5 (a bit like player that skip the tutorial, because they want to play with all the toys, even if they can't really handle them). But as Tagada said, i'm not sure that's how other rating of his range are feeling. There were some result of poll about that i think.

size of shields also matter

you are mixing up ping and computer capacity. It was pretty well explained, how ping doesn't impact the game unless it is over 500.
If the game is going -10, it's because some guy doesn't have a good enough computer for that. Kicking the 450 ping and making a -10 game speed going smoothly, is just a coincidence due to the fact that the 450 ping had a bad computer.

maybe having cruiser dealing aoe would be a good idea. Would buff them against Torp, while we can reduce the dps a bit to make solace more of a thing. Also they won't eat the air exp alive like they do now.
Sometime you nearly prefer having hover flak to protect your navy (at least your hover) than cruiser....

well we designed the hints, as hints for the game. But it could be used for broader communication indeed.

I like the idea of several radius, i'll forward it to the balance team

edit : Although I understand jip worries
