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.

he said neptune not atlantis my man

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.

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.

Didn't we already determine sera destros are fine against subs? I swear I just saw a post about that.

yeah, I do not really know why ppl keep saying that sera is bad against subs. For me, sera has the best t2 sub in the entire game And actually, this is the only t2 sub that can deal with coopers, cause it will just go on water and kill them, lmao.

@ftxcommando said in I am abandoning Aeon:
From your logic, aeon frig is the best, cause of early navy fights:

Aeon frig range makes it win early navy fights, it doesn’t matter much for larger frig engagements

But now u say that aeon destro is the best in late t2 fights:

phim destro is solid but loses in large numbers to aeon destro.

But hey, if you say aeon frig is the best cause of early t1 fight, then aeon t2 destro is the worst, cause it loses early fights.

In my opinion, aeon frig is solid, but early t1 is relevant on smaller maps, cause when playing against solid players, you will probably have a 10 v 9 frig fight vs cybran. But when 1 destros comes into the battlefield, and I have aeon against sera, no way I can bit him if my opp just micros properly, thus it leads to the less destros amount in a late t2 stage, so aeon will not probably win this fight, cause it simply will have less destros. And if the game is full afk untill everybody has 3 destros, than someone can just make more eco and go t3 navy. I mean, in all the cases aeon is bad. The only case t2 destro is good is when u and ur opp are just afk untill everyone has 15 destros and then start fighting, which is not the real game scenario.

@sladow-noob said in I am abandoning Aeon:

Aeon:
Autowin t1 on some land maps

I have no clue on why u consider this fact as "balance".

@sladow-noob said in I am abandoning Aeon:

Aeon:
strongest t2 phase, strong(est) t3 phase, decent exps, best t2 air, best midgame ACU, best frig, second best or best navy.

This all listed is very personal, not general. I mean I have no idea why u call aeon strongest t2 and t3 phase. If we consider blazes, they are very strong yes, but I do not think sera or UEF t2 worse. Sera has also 2 strong units, yenzyne and il shavokhs, which have also 2 same use cases as aeon (1 has big alpha and 1 can easily kill t1 spam). UEF has mobile shields, riptides (which have the highest hp among all hover units), and pilars are also not bad. I do not say they are the best, but having those facts, I can not accept t2 aeon as best, one of the best yes, but not the best.

T3 land for me is in perfect balance, I can not say that aeon also are strongest here, also good, but not best.

About exps, they are also quite good balanced, GC is very good against t3 army or other exps, like chicken or ML, but it is worse than chicken and MEGA when it comes to fighting against bunkers, cause it has no splash damage and very low dps, compared to other exps.

Frig is no way the best, it was very strong before the patch, but now it is way too expensive to call it the best. Of course it will beat every other frig 1v1, cause it is more expensive. But when fighting against cybran, you will have 14 v 13 frigs (both spending 3640 mass). Considering HP, cybran gets 25200HP and aeon gets 24050HP. Cybran gets 900 DPS and 764.66 DPS. Considering all this, I can not say aeon frig is the best. It has become way better cause of range buff, but it is still too expensive. Also add to that the fact that they do not have any AA.

On t2 stage, I have no clue on why u still consider aeon destros as best, cause they are in fact shit. Since the debuff, it is very painful to play with them against other destros, cause they miss way too much and 2 second worst torpedo attack to ON-WATER targets (after the UEF). We have tested a lot with spikey, they have almost no chance against sera destros, as they barely hit them, and super fun fact: if you submerge sera destros and come out in range of their cannons, they even start firing eariler, cause aeon needs more time for charging.

On t3 navy, I agree, aeon is strong. Having the highest DPS bship and also tempest.

Check the megathread-statistic post and see how often Aeon got veto'd in 1v1 pro tourney and how often they got picked if there were no vetos. Notice something?

There have been only few tournaments after those debuffs, and statistics is also more relevant if you consider the win rate AFTER the balance patch

Hardly disagree

FWIW, 'hardly disagree' doesn't mean 'I disagree hard'. The word 'hardly' means 'barely'. That quote is very likely to be interpreted as 'I don't really disagree'. (Sorry if this sounded patronising - I was assuming that english was a second language, but it might just be one of those gaps in knowledge we all have. x )

Tnx for the feedback, yeah I am not the native english speaker and appreciate when someone points my mistakes, I can get better by listening to feedbacks :DD

This absolutely extends to tech:2. A torpedo launcher or 2 makes these units fighting mass-for-mass big seraphim wins, especially when we pull engineers.
Put all this together, and we have a barracuda army losing SO many situations, and very limited in what it can do.

Generally, I think the problem of baracudas is not that they can not be countered, but because they barely can be spotted before they attack. T1 scouts do not see them, and usually u do not have t3 scout to spot them. Which is actually a cybran mechanics in general. It does not affect the gameplay so much, because there are only few maps that rely on underwater mexes. And if you do not have underwater mexes, barracudas can barely hit you hard.

as much as there isnt even a point replying to this, seeing as you have proviced 0 evidence at all.

lol I have given you one big argument which HP. "0 evidence" hahaha

@prophet said in no viable naval counter sera vs cybran:

@xejinord11

saying the sera destroyer is the best because is can submerge is a useless statement to say. great they can submerge, and die just as fast as before.

You can not even read I suppose. I have not said in the message that sera destroyer is the best, I said

@xejinord11 said in no viable naval counter sera vs cybran:

Hardly disagree, sera has the best t2 subs which are destros.

Generally, if I think t2 cybran subs are annoying unit, but not against Sera. If you have a problem against t2 cybran subs playing on sera, it is basically your personal problem, cause @Deribus even has tested it and gave you detailed information. Just consider that losing 1 destro to 2 subs is a draw, not a loss.

Debuffed t3 air = nothas spam as hard as u can, specially on maps where 2 mexes are 1 cell apart each other.

@prophet said in no viable naval counter sera vs cybran:

So if the cybran player masses t2 subs (1.1k mass) vs sera destroyers (2.25k mass) they have a hard counter for half the mass.

Hardly disagree, sera has the best t2 subs which are destros. 7K Hp on sub compared to 1300 (I forgot I am not sure), and around 2600 for 2 subs which is same as 1 destro. 7K vs 2600 HP is not even comparable, the difference in DPS is not as big as in HP.

@prophet said in no viable naval counter sera vs cybran:

t1 subs cant do any damage to t2 subs.

No way, if you shift g sera t1 subs they are imbalanced, 8 can take down even a destro with barely losses, of course dependent on a sutation.
