@IndexLibrorum said in App text adjustment (lobby text size, general chat, etc.):

Your font is strange too. Why is it in what looks lime Times New Roman? It's some sans serif for me.

I think it has to do with changing a registry file, but I'm not certain. None of my other games have this issue, and I don't know what Windows settings FAF relies on.

At some point recently I managed to mess up FAF's default text settings (though I can't fathom how). I play on a 4k with 150% UI, and this is what my viewer looks like:

The lobby viewer is comically small, and I'm fairly certain the replay text is not standard. Would it be possible to add a text setting to the app?

Greetings all. The text in the client has suddenly shrunk on me, and the font style has definitely changed. The only setting I found is in game prefs "console_font_size", but that did not have an effect. Not sure if this is a windows issue or an app issue. Any info is appreciated.

Edit: the icons in main chat are also missing. Has to be a windows error, but I can not fathom what.

That construction and action panel is gorgeous. I also use UI Party, will be testing out most of these over the week.

@sladow-noob Fair points, and I am aware that development & maintenance of this game is a labor of love (I certainly would not mind some of my donation going towards a stipend). Mercy in particular stood out to me as going from 100 to 0, whereas the other units you listed still see moderate use (perhaps limited use in the case of Absolver). In any case, I suppose that settles my original query here.

@nex Fascinating. Does that mean updating the tracking priority is either not possible or far more difficult? Or perhaps making the bomb portion not permanent lock-on? If Mercy could be dodged the same as Notha & Corsair, that would solve all the issues I have seen raised here.

I appreciate the discussion all Regardless of the reasons it is not used now, be it b/c Gunships are better or the damage/utility is too weak, if we are acknowledging that it is not at all used, then that should be addressed. I am admittedly still at a loss as to why the unit was changed in the first place. Because some of the pros don't like snipes and forget to build flak, or otherwise protect your ACU at the front? The old Mercy was far more valuable hitting T4s, HQs, and even T3 Mexes.

1 bumpity. Surely some of the pros are using the new Mercy, right?

I get it though. Gap-Astro-Seton are a drug; you get the thrill of FAF with zero mental effort. Either host your own and set a rating range you feel is appropriate, or find a clan/group to play with.

Nice! Although it had no effect on the fight and arguably T1 bombers would have been better, that was still a good hit. I appreciate the effort, still looking for more.

I have made an honest effort to find some use for the new Mercy (AoE DoT), and am coming up short. So I would appreciate if y'all can point me to some matches that show it being used, and used well. To clarify, I don't mean as a meme when a game is already won, I want to see it used in a serious fight, having a real impact on the gameplay.

@clint089 Sweet! I'll put the word out, will report if there are any issues.

@clint089 I submitted a ticket, and here is my scribble as well;

I happened to be on my lunch break and checked this, lol. I love that searching a name updates as you type, so I can enter partial words for those with complicated names. The 'update/description' menu does not work. I'm kicked back with 'Error! Please add a description for your clan'. Page navigation works fine, I have not tested kick yet.

Lastly, some feature requests. I would like to see others members able to create an invitation link, possibly setup roles that mirror my Discord server. Having separate text blocks for rules-about-links would also help fill out the page and keep it organized.

That's all I have for now, thank you for this (back to work for me)

@deribus I'll watch those for sure, though admitedlly I'm more interested in the Mercy than the Beetle.
@TheWheelie Nobody said anything like that. If your first response is vitrole, stop posting. Or better yet, be useful to this conversation and post some high-rated matches in which the current Mercy is used properly (and actually makes a difference).

@indexlibrorum I'm all for maintaining faction uniqueness. That said, when was the last time you saw Mercy or Fire Beetle used in a serious capacity? Something has to give.

So here's a thought. Perhaps we must accept that a single-use unit can never be balanced across skill ranges. Scrap that design concept entirely and change Mercy into a traditional bomber which compliments the Swift Wind. The Fire Beetle would need a similar update.

@clint089 I realize that FAF clans are a very small part of the ecosystem. When I started mine, it was more for the laughs, but has since grown into a significant community (much to my surprise). That said, I am in favor of the 'slow but better long-term' refactoring approach.

@jip That's more luck than anything, but I appreciate the thought. Sorry, but Mercy in its' current state is not worthwhile.

If the Mercy is now sub-par by design for balance, that's another matter entirely. I thought perhaps there was some edge case for using it I was not aware of.
