nuggets be cheating at this point

Wait til bro reaches 1300 global and tmm

I'm willing to sign up and play onehanded if everyone is ok with that. I'm ~2130 in ladder but maybe 1300-1500 with one hand

Just an idea for fun

nuggets hates christmas

sign up as substitute for when a top 8 drops out and there is no other substitute available whatsoever

just add paid acu cosmetics and emotes already

I think it's a pretty creative map. Boring is subjective and I don't get what you mean with "poorly designed". Its visuals are simple but not ugly
Playing versus aeon on it definitely sets you back though because of the early aurora in mid but there are ways to go around it. Think ghetto gunship, jester, rushing a naval fac, walking acu over to reclaim enemy naval fac, or playing very aggressively on land while your opponent spent time controlling the middle and building pgens trying to accommodate all that mass. There's plenty reclaim on land to fuel these strategies early on

It's not easy but there are things you can try doing to win over your aeon opponent. Things other than simple t1 spam that most other maps encourage

@Nuggets its just a mod vro let bro have his fun 🦦

In my early days of FAF it felt like the community was MUCH more tight, from my perspective. There were people rated from 1000-1600 who regularly participated in tournaments like WWPC and were active in conversations in aeolus and the forums. They knew the pros and the pros knew them. They were very happy to chat with and train people who wanted to join the scene (like me). Names like Scoot, Greenio, MayorDamage, and Hascins come to mind. These players would also host their own tournaments. They didn't have to be so grand to be exciting, have a look at this one. https://forums.faforever.com/viewtopic.php?f=26&t=10627

Sadly WWPC died not too long after, but the scene was very welcoming and having a group of inviting people at the lower ratings kind of gave me an 'entry ticket' to the overall community. Aeolus was a regular chatroom that joes and pros alike would use so you could hop on FAF and have a chat with them the moment you got on. If you, a newcomer, said hi, you'd likely be greeted back by one of these players. Discord didn't exist back then so the client was the main place for communication, and it was accessible to everyone.

Comparing that to FAF these days, aeolus has turned into a cesspool of doddering oddfolk and degenerates. I don't even look at aeolus anymore. Write in aeolus as a newcomer and you'll likely be ignored. Instead of aeolus, there's personal Discord servers but good luck getting in there as a random. The tournament forums are not appealing to low rated players because there are few tournaments and the 'community feeling' isn't there to motivate you to sign up and show up because you don't know anyone. The main Discord helps remedy this but due to its size the cohesive feeling isn't the same. Compared to the tight community in 2015-2016, this community feels largely dissociated.

In any case, low rated tournaments are rare because the turnup to sign-up rario is low. I think this feeling of a tight community played a very strong role in the motivation of lower rated players signing up for and actuallly playing tournaments. This would in turn fuel people's interest in hosting their own tournaments. Remove the tight community feeling -> reduced tournament interest -> reduced amount of tournaments hosted. This old feeling was kind of revived somewhere in 2019-2020 with Blodir hosting a series of Blitz 1v1 tournaments. They were simple and didn't have a prize beyond an avatar. I think there exists the misconception that every tournament has to be this grand thing with a huge prize pool, which doesn't help. I guess be the change you want to see, let the others know they can bring up their tournament ideas without 10 million dollar prize pools and see where it takes us

@caliber said in MapGen 3v3 SHOWDOWN:

above 2300 should play with handicap like using playstation controller or without keyboard just mouse, for laughs.

i'd be down for this if it counted me as like 1500 lol (with mouse only that is, controller sounds horrible)

Under natural circumstances it wouldn't cause many issues, but it is prone to abuse

xd

Dang what is this new technology, my old bones can't keep up anymore
