Hello, there is a "Tester" role in the discord currently, but not sure how it's being used. I would say, balance changes could be released towards the FAFDEV Game mode for a few weeks to gain feedback before they are actually pushed to the regular game.

@ipconfig-release Yes but that doesn't explain why we now have an Aeon Factory that looks nothing like an HQ. More or so a generic supplementary factory.

I'm sorry, but what was the purpose of this change?

Thanks for the definition!

Welp here goes to a player losing all their units because they guessed the wrong answer. XDD

I find this a difficult issue to address, one because there is no rating decay over time of a non active player. 2. What is defined as true rating when as you can see in your chart this player has hit high peaks and has dipped low. At what possibility would I say this person is actually a 2100 rated vs a 2400. While the rating may be similar on this level, it doesn't translate at lower levels.

Hello,
As others have already mentioned, UTC is the standardized time for every event on FAF, considering we don't have multiple servers and we all play on one client. Makes this the most sensible thing to use.

A simple method to coordinate time, is to figure how far or behind you are to UTC, once you figure that one out, calculating the time shouldn't be hard.

Hello, and welcome. Caveating off of what Nuggets said, there is a seton's discord, but I can only recommend it if you are trying to get better at setons as we do have a trainer and all sorts of people that play all the time. Both serious and unserious. The only downfall is, the discord is filled with a bunch of degenerate setoners, which may or may not be the crowd you would like to hang with. There are plenty of other options as mentioned above.

Team The Setons Crutches
Radiance - 1504
FAFMemex - 1594
DarkWage - 1371
Haidovic - 1449

@Nuggets This would be kind of a slap to the face to those who already have or are maintaining the coding today. Lot of the time given to the FAF project especially for developers is free of charge. Something will always break even if we just hire a temporary developer. This is just one of those topics that will always be controversial.

@Kilatamoro I thought about this one, it is pretty annoying when you see units coming out of a fat boy and it just goes the opposite direction of where it was first initially queued to build. I wonder if there is a way to make it just roll out and stay at whatever the location the fatboy is located in.

@Saver Not a problem, that's exactly what this post is for. To see what issues most are seeing and giving at least some direction for any fixes that need addressing. And also to see the feedback on what is working or what is suggested with making changes to the game. Of course some suggestions, may be considered too far fetched. Especially when it comes to value or having the capability to make those changes with the resources we have at hand

What has been the best feature you've liked so far that FAF has implemented towards the game? What is the least liked feature you like about the game?

Maybe something you wish to be added?

This could be all around, anything FAF related, client, game, social medias, discord, etc.

Greetings!

FAFLive Team Lead here. First and foremost, I want to wish each and every one of you a Happy Holidays.

As the year comes to an end, I wanted to take a moment to share some stats from this past year, along with a few changes coming as we head into the new one.

Before getting into that, I want to clearly address one important point: all FAFLive broadcasts and media outlets are strictly non-biased. We do not promote, endorse, or align with any political affiliation, ideology, or real world political events. Our focus has always been, and will remain, on the game, the competition, and the community.

FAFLive exists to provide fair, neutral coverage and to create a space where players, viewers, and contributors from all backgrounds can enjoy high quality content without outside agendas. That principle will continue to guide how we operate moving forward.

The team has been hard at work behind the scenes producing higher quality content and developing a refreshed look for the stream. We’ve spent a lot of time brainstorming and refining ideas, and we’re getting close to locking in a direction we’re excited about.

Recent tournament coverage and live broadcasts have kept us busy, which is why these changes haven’t rolled out just yet. That momentum is a good problem to have but it does mean some of the visual updates had to stay in development a little longer.

Our goal is to have everything fully in place going into the new year. Along with the updated aesthetics, we’re also exploring the possibility of a team rebrand beyond the FAFLive name so keep an eye out for what’s coming next. That is a little about the upcoming changes, more to come. Cheers to those helping us out with the project.

Below are a few statistics from our Twitch channel for this year.

We’re also still in the process of expanding and integrating YouTube more fully, with the goal of having both platforms consistently showcasing FAF to a wider audience.

I also want to extend a BIG THANK YOU to all the broadcasters that helped us cover events throughout the year and the tournament organizers who hosted the events! You are the heartbeat that keeps this community alive. Last but not least, thanks to every single contributor that makes this project possible !

Looking ahead to 2026, we’re excited for what’s next and ready to build on the momentum from this year. New ideas, stronger content, and bigger plans are already in motion.

ps. For those wondering about the recent tournaments, we are still working on compiling them and uploading them to youtube, look out for those.

@Skrat Again, I don't think the caster had a malicious intent, to post those videos. And yes, the 9/11 video gets overused in every video. As stated before, this will be discussed.

@Skrat Looking at a few clips, it seems the intent wasn't to show case the ongoing world of politics rather to meme of what simulated battle would be in terms of Supreme Commander in the real world. None the less, this will be discussed in a later conversation.

Off topic, but those are some nice screenshots.

@Nuggets Lets go with the facts.

Was the tourney scuffed? Yes.

The connections made this tourney really difficult to manage. When half of the teams are having connection issues, and I'm only referring this to the upper bracket. The lower bracket had little to none issues, which is why they were able to finish 90% that first day.

This brings me to the challonge, I'm not sure what went wrong with the challonge, but wifi's team needed a moment to try to fix connections before starting, in order to help accommodate that, I tried to switch him from starting in the first matches. Retroactively, when you make a change to challonge, its supposed to regenerate with the set paremeters of the seed, not sure why it did not do that.

Teams and substitutes:
Let me put this out as clearly as I can, I as the TD was trying to be reasonable and fair in order to make a great tourney.
Realistically, all the teams that were having connection issues were at a point of disqualification. And if you disagree, that is your opinion, when you drag the game towards another day, that is the effect of being lenient I did not believe that would be fair for the team members still wanting to play.

Lets talk about communication:
I made the discord thread specifically for the team captains on purpose. Referring back to your comment nuggets, the amount of pings that i was receiving was insufferable and caused me to lose track of things, cause there were other players with actual issues. So I relied on the team captains to give me viable information regarding the tourney. Of course this was not happening, another thing to try to fix.

As someone has already addressed, I'm always open to constructive feedback. What I will not listen to, is whining and crying about tournament being unfair. That provides me nothing to look or address in the future. It comes as simple as contacting me and addressing your issues and concerns, and we can look how to implement changes. And if you dislike the way the tourney is ran and you think you could do it better, you are always more than welcome to host it. I am not part of the TD team, but I host these for the sake of the community.

Hello, we are in the works of editing the vod and uploading to youtube. As mentioned in this thread, you can find it on twitch. Let us know if you have any issues.
