Sign up 1293 , why is first half of tourney bad maps and only then mapgen, wtf!!

I identify myself as vena242424.

mods there appear to be people impersonating someone

Maps have been posted

Can I sign up with my 1293 1v1 rating?

I agree with it being unified, but do not agree to merge 2v2 and 1v1. Its a HUGE difference if you have a teammate you can maybe even rely on instead of doing everything else. I wonder why i dont search 1v1

@waffelzNoob said in 1v1 Ladder:

I don't get your point

If all custom 1v1s count towards ladder rating then the rating can be abused or at the very least players will play maps they enjoy, are better at, and still end up with an inflated rating. And now we have nothing to gauge a player's 1v1 ability with

My point is that it was once discussed if dual gap should have a separated rating category, to not inflate or falsify global rating, but got "immediately" denied. Thats what 1v1 currently looks like.

Changing global games to count to 1v1 will make it less reliable for map-specific players, but still more reliable overall. You often clown on my 1v1 rating for example, but its not even that far of on the standard 1v1 maps. On mapgen or bigger maps its a different story but when i host that to play these kinds of maps it doesnt count (obviously).
What I'm getting to is that it would make more players 1v1 skill accurate, as i don't see the "some players might be inflating their rating on x map" as a reasonable argument, because what exactly is the problem with it? Ofc its not good, but we literally have learned to live with it in the most relevant rating category (global)

@Created_in_abyss sorry, somehow i didnt see your first message

Call it what you will, its still the fact of a subscription for a mod.
Another issue is that if you are "selling" the mod i actually expect support for the mod. I hate to say it but your history shows you dont really update the mods based on feedback (no, i am not talking about guess elo).

Also not a huge fan of the fact you edit the main post which was upvoted for "hype" reason and not mentioned a paywall or whatever you call it. And now its showing your Boosty as if people upvoted that. Regardless if people find it good or not its just the fact that the up or downvotes where for something else

After having "used" this new feature i find it to be bad, can this be configurable in lobby options? Have standard set to 5, but with the option to disable

The draft was a bit too close to the tourney date itself now that i'm looking back into it. Its mostly because of one specific player holding up the entire tourney for literally 1,5 days to see if he can play or not.
Sorry about that. Next time (if its the same setup) will probably be a week before or something like that

Clearly there would have to be an adjustment to the cost of it because that 36k includes the laser, I try not to state the obvious when I'm speaking.

One thing is for sure. It seems pretty clear that it needs a rework. Been a hot topic for the 6 years I've been playing and nothing's been done about it.

The adjustment would be making it like 30k mass cheaper. It’s not a t4. You made a t4 unit a t3 unit.

It’s a combination of a soothsayer and an eye, nobody would be paying anything higher than 8k mass for this.

And doing this, now you need to explain what UEF compensation is for having no air t4.

Wdym? UEF even now has no air t4. Novax is way more similar to t3 arty than anything else, so why would this change need a compensation in the form of t4 air.
Obviously it would be good to see, but that has nothing to do with this.

So your problem is that people might be better at setons or dual gap only? xd

Toxic discrimination!!! I will discuss it with myself.

@Dorset You can't "just disable it". That would make the sat worthless and dumb to build. There needs to be an adjustment to move it to t3, make it cheaper (maybe e upkeep?) and maybe change vision radius

You can also download working versions from the coop discord

As i read what Gorthaur said i would be interested if it got removed by a mod or by himself lol

@Dorset You didnt really get my point. Its the current mass cost for "just a scout" is dumb. Eye is way cheaper. It should be priced similar to that

@deribus said in Username rules updates:

Why do you need to rename so often? Imagine you had a coworker and every week they went by a different name. Do you seriously not understand how that would be problematic and bother people?

What a (to use a polite term) stupid example. Yes I'm sure a coworked will suddenly turn up with a new name every month (i like how you used every week to try to get a valid argument even though renames are monthly and "apparenlty" now getting increased to 6 months).
Try thinking of any ONLINE plattform regarding renames and you suddenly don't have an argument - what a shocker

@Dorset said in Another Novax conversation:

I truly believe that allowing them to target each other is the best place to start. Why doesn't FAF take a year and make quarterly adjustments to see what the community prefers. 3 months of allowing Novax to target each other then 3 months of novax costing less but no laser and so on? I think the ultimate solution is allowing them to target each other but it can only be known if we try. Same as many suggestions. I also think that perhaps FAF just allow Novax to be unit restricted but still allow for a ranked match would be an interesting idea too. Whats a year of live "beta testing" to see what works. A year is nothing anymore lol

So i will try to take your comment seriously and try to explain.
By having Novax being able to fight / shoot each other would make the only counter to Novax, the Novax. Yes you could argue that you can still shield your stuff, but allowing them to shoot each other clearly shows that that is INTENDED to be the counter. I'm sure there are comparisions in different games but i believe that would categorize something as OP, if the only counter is in its own faction.
Its like saying only one faction will have AA and the others can just shield their stuff.

The 2nd biggest issue is, as i mentioned before, that by allowing novax to shoot each other, you create a 4th category to fight in, which includes only 1 unit. You have water, air and land, and you are now trying to create a category for a single faction. This is not the case currently. Currently novax is similar to an arty, just stronger (as you can only shield against it).
Dont really know how to explain this properly but i hope you get why creating a 4th category for a single faction is a bad idea?
