    • RE: Why does everything suck so much right now?

      Well, i think the reason everything seems worse is quite obvious.. the connection issues. It's as simple as: there are connection issues > games is not fun > am not motivated to play that much (or at all) > incapable of finding games (at least high rank games).

      There are a bunch of complaints regarding this change or that change (which do have an impact), but i still firmly believe that the main issue is that i can't just start a game and know it will be a good game (connection wise).

      This 3 vs 3 tourney is open to everyone, single signups only with captains pick system (highest rated players pick out of the other signed up players). Captain amount depends on sign ups, but a minimum of 6 and maximum of 8.

      Signups will close on the 8.01.2025 for the captains pick to then commence. Team-name can be sent after the pick is done.

      Tournament Format:

      Rule update.

      In order to provide more equal opportunities for both teams:

      Map pick rules for Bo3 (and only Bo3)

      "Lower rated captain picks first map, highest rated second map. After that the team who lost 2nd game choses 3rd map"
      Map pick rules for Bo3 (and only Bo5):

      For Bo5 the rule is still the same as before:

      "For every game the lower rated captain picks the first map (and then alternating) which cannot be used again. There are no Vetoes"

    • RE: Username rules updates

      This post? Fantastic. Clearly addresses each of our concerns, points out problems our solution has, and describes where our communication has failed.

      The situation is: mod team comes out with a (ridiculous) change. Now WE have to take the time to formulaten an article on why this is bad. You are saying it is not acceptable to just write "bad change, reverse". You want an entire article with pro, cons, examples and whatever.
      How about YOU (mod team) post a 'proposal' and not a change that might be reversed if enough people complain (obviously this is not appicable to every change, but it clearly is here).

      I don't even know how to say how ridiculous it is that a rule is getting an insanly strict update (not sure how to formulate that), and you expect people to go "Yeah ok, it helps moderation".

      Maybe a bit of an exaggeration but this is what it feels like to me.

    • RE: Firey Explosions mod FAF

      As far as i understand this mod is completely graphic and no balance change? Can this be flagged as ranked? As dumb as it sounds, i have no interest in playing it if its unranked, as also most people wont join

    • RE: Enable / Disable recalling games

      This is a pretty bad idea. Recall is the option for the team to vote if they want to continue the game. By disabling this, you are "forcing" play a game they might not want to continue.
      Otherwise players will just randomly quit and that is even more frustrating / confusing for the team. In most of my games if I vote to recall, and my team votes no, i continue to play (even in a brutally crushed position) because apparently my team sees a way to win. If this feature didn't exist I would just leave.

      Maybe some players don't "fully understand the impact of their choice" but they will do so after the first (or maybe only at the 2nd) recall. If they don't.. well, we can't change game mechanics because people are incapable of learning.

    • RE: Username rules updates

      This change is actually insane. Aswell as the reasoning behind the decisions. Imagine creating rules based on the size of the community. Say faf suddenly grows by 100k people. Are we now changing rules because of that?

      The real question is "who asked" (as in who asked to check / control usernames). I do not mean this as a joke. Up to now literally no moderator cared until there was a report. So it literally did not matter unless someone is annoyed about you and wanted to pay you back. Now I'm supposed to stick to username from myself and i better not rename to somebody else (even by accident)!

      You (moderation team) are now saying EVERY player must know the other players. There can be no confusion on usernames. Do I even have to talk more about this?

      The example with the confusion regarding screenshots also has little relevance in my opinion. Surely chat logs must be saved somewhere, so reports should only be possible with a timestamp. Just like when reporting something ingame.

      Also, when is the discord username purge coming?
      Apparently there is a guy on FAF since 2013 or something called Nugget, so i guess i'm not allowed to have my username anymore - gg (also getting ready to report anyone with Nugget in their name).

    • RE: mass storage.

      Hello.

      I propose to remove the game.
      This is not a secret and everyone plays it. Therefore, it is not needed at all.
      It only forces you to play for no good reason at all.
      There will be no need to write and maintain any code. You can just remove it all.

      I hope at least this proposal will pass.

      @ftxcommando said in Discussing the "rename rule":

      Does it contribute to a healthy environment to ban people that are having fun having impersonating names and not being toxic within the rules? Because currently like 10-15% of the active 1800+ players have taken each other’s names and are impersonating each other. Do we stop that?

      Do you need to impersonate others to have fun?

      What kind of question is that. Of course you can have fun without. Doens't change the fact that you can also have fun with the name changes.
      It's like asking if you need to have ingame chat to have fun.

    • RE: Another Novax conversation

      Not a huge fan of this. Having novax being able to target each other would create a 4th category where u its fight in. Instead imo novax should be reworked to be vision only and cheaper

      @snoog said in New account in FAF:

      The FAF forums have become more entertaining than FAF itself these past few months. Holy hell these endless threads about moderation are so inane. Do y'all not have anything better to do? Someone asked for their account to be deleted, and then made a new account at some point later in time? What the hell is the problem? I've done this myself in several games. Why do you even care? Just play the damn game.

      I wish i could. But even private games get "interrupted" by the rules of faf - but its a different topic.

    • RE: New account in FAF

      @Jip said in New account in FAF:

      You're (both) being unreasonable here. This conversation is leaving a sour taste for me. You ask for more bureaucracy. And at the same time (in other topics) you ask for less. There's no way to satisfy you people. It's getting a little bit silly. I won't respond further. If you feel this wronged then I suggest you try to join the moderation team. Then perhaps you can 'do it right' when you're on the other side of the equation.

      I guess it's my miss interpretation that it's a nice chance for once that the competitive scene grew a little bit 🙂 . Just take the win and appreciate it. It can be that simple.

      I think we are kinda talking past each other. As Skrat said "we" (although i dont know how it became "we", i was just clarifying what Skrat was saying) are not tying to add more bureaucracy. FAF has rules in place, and in this case (or maybe even more cases if Skrat knows more) an exception has been made where the reasoning is not known.

      P.s. tried to join team moderation over a year ago! Got declined! So unfortunately, I can't "do it right" (not saying anything wrong was done, just quoting you).

      Also not sure why faf privacy is being quoted here. Nobody is asking for personal information. What Skrat was asking was the previous Username.

    • RE: New account in FAF

      So just to be clear, I'm pretty sure what Skrat was getting to was the fact that this one specific player that got a new account while being anonymous is what he is trying to prevent.
      Either offer this to anyone, or publicly state who this player is and why the decision was made. (ofc there can be more behind the scenes, but we basically know nothing except for the result)
