hahaha sorry guys

Could you please fix recalling from battle. Recall has to be accepted only when ALL team members accept that. I have just played and saw a lot of chances to win, however our team decided to just recall. It is not fair to me. I wanted to play further. Fix it please! Or then no rate penalty for those who vetoed recall.

Ok, fine, I thought it is a feedback thread, whereas this is the thread should be called "we call it balance and we do not care of what you say". I got it, no more words needed. Just do not call it "feedback" then, if u do not wanna hear any feedbacks.

Thanks @Exselsior for taking the opinion seriously.

Yeah why not giving then each faction such an op teleport, why only cybran has it? Why cant you tele billy ACU as UEF or ACU with advanced nano-repair and gun splash as sera? Then it would have made more sense cause anti tele would have been a "must". But if we do not have cybran in our team and the enemy does, we MUST spend 30K on anti tele which the enemy does not, and they have one exp more just because they have cybran in the team. I do not think this is a good experience for the game

Can you register Popiska and Plunder in one team pls?

Hey guys,

I have noticed that with the new update you will order new t3 pgens whenever u want to assist t3 air factory with t3 engies. I have searched in interface but have not found how to turn off this feature. If it is not present, pls disable this feature till we have it. I do not find it useful cause I am unable to assist my air factories when needed. Thanks!

I have tested yesterday in game lobby and the pending patch, and the barracudas(tech 2 cybran subs) now need 4 torpedo bombers to kill it, which is op in my opinion, assuming that it has stealth. Not considering that u need a scout to torp it but just cost ot the torps and subs. 4 torps 4 * 270 = 1080 mass and 4* 32000 energy. barracuda 1100 mass and 8800 energy. This is a really huge difference. Pls fix the hp of the barracudas accordingly in order to make 3 torps killing it, it fill be fine then. It is 2 torps before pending patch.

All the other subs were buffed so that u need 1 torp extra, whereas in case of t2 cybran subs u need 2 torps extra, which is a lot.

@ftxcommando said in Assist on t3 air factory update:

Unlike mass storages or mass fabs it’s bad to build 4 ringed t3 pgens like that, though. A t3 pgen itself can support 2 t3 air facs beyond your first one since you’re likely to have a lot of assistance on your first air hq. Feel like this is more likely to cause problems for people learning to scale.

I totally agree on that. It is a bad air grid where you build t3 pgens around all your air facs, cause u r gonna spend tons of mass for energy and overflow it. I do not think that this function is needed at all, we have hotkeys ability to make it easier. @Jip

Guys just stop being so arrogant and listen to me a bit please. It is not ok that t2 destros have more range than t3 battlecruisers. Assuming that gameplay of cybran is always being hided in stealth fields it is gonna be way too op. Aeon cruiser are useless in battles I said, not useless in general. They have a good AA yes, but they never participate in battles of ships or in siege of base, like others do. I am ok with one destro having range 85 but not the cybran which is almost always in stealth. For now I see only UEF destros countering them or UEF navy in general. But still some barracudas and all the shields are down.

I totally agree about perma bans, sometimes I do want that some people get punished for toxic behavior, but even with all my anger at that point, I do not want them to be banned forever. There are some reasons for that, one of the main reasons is that faf has got a very low amount of active players. People who are toxic and insulting others are usually people that are addicted pretty much addicted to this game, thus very active in this game. Do not get me wrong, I think that they deserve to be punished, but perma is not the way it should be done. Also, I understand that moderators can not just beware of everything that happens in faf, however I know some examples when a certain player was not banned for the action that others got perma ban for.

For example, @SpikeyNoob remembers a guy with a nickname Honey_Sex, who officially was banned for his "offensive" nickname, but in reality in my opinion that is mostly because of his post on forum, which was also deleted, because the moderators found the post causing conflicts, even though the post was not offensive at all, just people commenting the post where causing conflicts. Why I think that the nickname issue was not the "real" reason for a perma ban? Cause I met so many people with nicknames more offensive than his. One of the biggest examples is Foley, who literally had a nickname with a meaning of "You suck my dick", namely "Usuq_Mydiq" I guess, do not remember. I personally do not find anything insulting when I say "sex", considering that he had a "honey_sex" which was not personal. There is also a person, who literally named themself "dick" (but in russian), and still online.

I also once was talking to the guy who was banned forever in faf, for a smurf account. He was not toxic at all, he shared his story with me. He said that he was not playing home, but in the computer club*. And his friend also did that, and they both got banned from faf for smurfing, cause moderators have thought that it is one person playing from 2 different accounts from 1 PC. He meant that moderators have not even listened to his explanation of that. I mean hardware ID is one of the best ways to find smurfs, but in this particular case 2 ppl were banned just because they do not have own PC. Not fair in my opinion.

Also I want to mention gapforever server, which was also created and consists of people who got perma ban on FAF. Mostly, they have been banned by Rezy, most of them are complaining particularly on one of the admins, who is also sometimes very insulting. The server was created without a hate of faf, it was just created so that people can play their favorite game. I personally have not suffered by non-fair ban in FAF, but some of my friends were, like Dmitry11, for instance once got a ban from Rezy for smurfing, just because the other guy trolled him and made a nickname Dmitry111. So actions and perma bans of moderators (mostly one of them) have caused that 2 more servers were created and one of them is very hateful and wants faf players to suffer a bit.

Generally, I agree that perma bans should exist for cheaters or ppl breaking lobbies, but not for insulting behaviour. There is even a function of muting someone in in-game chat. So I think that would have been way easier to add more functionality to mute toxic players, than implementing a new client because of the revenge of banned player.

*Computer club - a place in post-soviet countries, where u "subletting" a pc in an hourly rate and play video games.

I totally agree on the point of selfishness of moderation, I have not really seen people, even the ones who NEVER got banned, that say that the moderation team is just. I will not name high-rated never(or very rare) banned players, who agree on the point that moderation team is not to be understand in most of the cases. One friend of mine who used to play a lot was banned for the nickname containing a word "Sex" (full nickname: Honey_Sex), which moderation thought is offensive. This is strange, cause I have never seen a person who was offended by his nickname (except for moderator who gave the perma ban). This is just one example of moderation team acting subjective, rather than acting objective.
Another reason for me is perma bans, I totally agree that the perma ban should exist, however I do not agree on some cases, which ppl receive perma ban for. Cheating should be banned forever in my opinion, however toxicity should not. I was the reason of perma ban once (my report), but when I found out that the person got perma, I textem him and mod team to retrieve my report, I know that it is not reversable, but I do not think that the person should be banned for toxicity, cause there are good mechanics in game that give you the possibility not to see the messages from the person, like foe or chat mute.
Another reason of perma ban being not relevant to FAF is that the community is not as big as I wish it would be, so in my opinion we have to consider that these actions are mostly held against very active players, which is also not as good for the bigger community.

hahaha sorry guys

Not a bad unit, when u consider its mass cost. 12000 mass is not very much. Middle t2 stage it can kill frigs good, however dps is too low to attack with it, rather defensive unit.. Another and the best solution for me is to use it as an AA. It has the best AA among all the aircraft carriers, cause it has splash, no AC has splash therefore it can easily kill packs of torps, which is almost always the case in the t3 stage. To torp it u need lots of Air units, cause it has 40000 HP, u can also add shield boats HP to it. However, it is very vulnerable to bships when it is surfaced. But as I said for the mass cost is not bad.

Apart from all the mentioned, it has a small advantage of a big vision field, which is useful to fight agains cybran, for instance.

Against anything thats not a battleship or sub

Coopers and aeon destros are also not bad against it:D

Also, I can confirm that you won't get banned from FAF for going off the rails once or twice. You have to be a real nasty piece of work to get banned more than few times for "chatting". If I didn't get banned more than twice for the things I wrote I don't wanna know just how much worse the repeat offenders are. And I'm someone who doesn't mince the words if I get pissed.

I literally gave u examples of unfair bans in my post, u pointed out only 1 of them and still do not believe that a person theoretically can get a perma unfair.

Dude honey_sex dude was offered to change his nickname like 727262571636362 times, i was in voice when that happened, its not even perma ban.

"You are banned from FAF forever". Ok it is not a perma ban, it is "forever" ban".

Do not consider him as the only reason for the post. He is just one small stone of the big dissatisfaction of perma bans in general. Specially I consider his ban related to his post on forum, not to his nickname, the reason on why I think was described in my previous post.

I asked him many times to give me a new a new name to change his to and told him i would unban him after he did. I put in so much effort to get this guy to agree to a new name but he never did. If he wanted to he could tell me another name rn and i would unban him right away. But he won’t because he is just a troll trying to spark outrage.

Bro, try not to focus only on that example, I am trying to say that behaviour of some moderators (mostly rezy) have caused some problems, mainly because perma ban exists. Cause of his unreasoned perma bans, ppl suffer cause are not able to play their beloved game. And now there is consequence cause some of them invested their resources in revenge.

Honestly, wish I had recorded the whole thing cuz dude was unwilling to co-operate at all. And instead being all like, BUT IN RUSSIA I CAN BE HONEY-SEX AS MUCH AS I WANT! WHY ARE YOU FORCING ME TO CHANGE THE NICKNAME WHILE IN RUSSIA HONEY-SEX IS ALL GOOD!

We tried politely explaining why such name is against the ToS of FAF and why calling yourself honey-sex in public spaces is not really gucci.

He was offered to be instantly unbanned multiple times as long as he gives us a new nickname that he wants to use, and yet each and every fucking time we asked for new nickname he reverted to BUT IN RUSSIA HONEY SEX GOOD! Dude could have been unbanned literally minutes after the ban but instead insisted on arguing with multiple people why the ban is nothing but oppression of the Russian culture...

He started focusing on russia cause someone said in britain u will go to prison if u start shouting "sex" on the streets. I mean that might be the case but I do not really get why it even matters. If u shout "U suck my dick" u will get in prison as well with that logic, but not banned from faf, lol.

After checking all the players who responded on this topic, I came to the conclusion that most of the author supporters are Russians. What a plot

Ru players have one interesting trait: they hate each other but when are offended stick together and spare no effort to protect their nationality.

So just do not be racist to not offend whole ru community.

I heard no one saying anything about nationality in this post except for u and @Eternal . I am not russian btw.
