here is a folder of 23 929 user ids and what they have said in the last 631 711 FAF games.

this was parsed with askaholics tool and some custom python sciripting

From this data you can infer some useful information.

UserID is used, because unlike username, it does not change. The "notify" messages have been excluded.

like which players get fed the most mass
who uses the most AI taunts
who is the most toxic (probaly best to define toxic to a script, hard to do)

Unzipped size is ~ 120mb

all the user ids are in one folder, windows may struggle.

I plan to do more replay analysis including node graphs of who plays with who, who plays on what map,

correlation between:
map and rating
country and rating
map and country

I also plan an analyse the notify dataset (not included in this chat dataset) and get information on upgrade timings, of acu also per faction and all of them per rating group and map.

any others you can think of.

Please download yourselves and anaylse

I have downloaded a few thousand replays and used your python libary to parse all chat in them. 12MB of text was parsed for this.

I have quite a big text file for each FAF username. I know it would be better to use userID and I will in future things. Does anyone want this data?

The chat has been filtered to remove "notify" events and also "Units / Mass / Power sent"

I do plan to do some kind of node analysis on who plays with who next
who is associated with which map
association of maps with ratings

No other map I have ever seen has this. It is just needless, unfriendly and unintuitive. Seems very silly to introduce this mechanic for a single map. The it takes 1 game argument does not hold up.

@jip

For people who have a slow simspeed it should be relative to the other people in the game

Example - If one person is -2 less than the others over a period of more than 60 seconds

So sentons game is -3 but would be -1 without that person

This would be a useful mechanic as people with old laptop CPUS often do well slightly badly on the cpu test but after half an hour in game its just a waste of time. If they dont leave the game is lost through others leaving

internet lag/stutter is normally something that gets caught early on in my experience and is much less of an issue - the game is rehosted and problem goes away with a different player.

Billy is very good at taking opertunistic shots at high value targets (structures, armies, Also very good against landed clouds of ASF) in teamgames. On large teamgame maps there is almost always a target that is worth it to hit.

@tex said in Talking about the Fatty:

Vanilla fatty was a monster. It packed those big boy summit cannons. Shell damage and speed was massive. Dps was way higher even with like, 1/4th the ROF. I miss vanilla fatty. It would still suffer from the same problems but it was way cooler.

Why not half its ROF and double its shell damage?

I think this would suit the faction more

No other map I have ever seen has this. It is just needless, unfriendly and unintuitive. Seems very silly to introduce this mechanic for a single map. The it takes 1 game argument does not hold up.

The Bjarg map is not one i like, very misleading unreclaimable wrecks that should be removed from the map, or map removed from pool

Intel range is something that could help. If you were to write a balance mod that just "unbroke" the game rather than changed the stats of a hundred units what would you change? Specifically targeting 40K maps here.

I am thinking:

Nerf infinite range T4 artillery > less range
Nerf yolna oss T4 nuke (nuke interval, cost?)
Remove paragon
Reduce cost / buildtime of anti nuke structure, leave missile untouched
Nerf novax (Cost, dps?)
Nerf torpedo bombers (health reduction?). Could also buff cruiser health. Countering the T4 torpedo bomber (alwhassa) also becomes an issue, but only very late game.
Remove cybran strat stealth. Omni range is too short to prevent these being repeatedley massed for snipes.
Buff radar intel range (1.5?)
Buff all scout unit vision, radar, omni ranges significantly (1.5?)
Buff naval speed globally? 20%?. Battleships should not take 12 mins to arrive to combat. This could have implications with naval micro, but at the larger scales seen on the larger maps may be less important?

Does anyone have any other changes? again, trying to change as little as possible.

if anyone has played any larger maps of higher skill level please do post replays here

seems cloudflare R2 would be a good and very cheap service to use for this, as its static content. Easier than using a bittorrent client.

Can we get a sentons only fullshare que, given sentons is typically played with optimum balance now it would be used so much

I dont mean to have caused any legal trouble here, I was just interested in some data analysis. I should probably have started with things other than text chat first and gauge a response but text chat was the easiest for me to parse and make sense of.

from my perspective the information is already highly available in the replay vault publicly.

I do understand open source data can become sensitive when massed together.

Perhaps we need a disclaimer that replays and all information contained are available publicly? along with name history and rating history and anything else, ect? It has always been very obvious to me that they are but to others it may not be?
