    • RE: Thinking of returning, not sure if I can

      Hey @HerbertFreir,

      I've randomly come across this post.

      It's a common thing in pretty much every online game that people will flame each other. All it is is a coping mechanism so they must not admit they made a mistake themselves. It's really just the easy way out for being anonymous on the internet. There is no way of saying this is common or uncommon across a community as a whole as it's mostly invididual. Estimating how often it will happen to you is nearly impossible. Sometimes you will be flamed three times a day, sometimes it won't happen for two years straight. But there is a tendency: The bigger and the younger (on average) the community the more likely it is that people will flame, as they don't expect to bump into the other one ever again. FAF is a small, "well aged" community, and therefore less likely to be that way, as you for sure will bump into someone again.

      What usually helps is narrowing down the amount of anonymity to a minimum by playing with people you know through joining smaller clans / communities.

      I, for instance, happen to run a beginners group within the FAF Dojo. It's me and my co-trainer running training sessions with up to a dozen trainees (0-1300 rated) three times a week, in the EU evening hours. Our youngest trainee is ~20 years old, our oldest is ~60 years old. We have gay / trans people, furries... We welcome everyone and respect each other. It's about having fun and learning together.

      If the above is appealing to you and you could make (some of) the training hours, feel free to join our Discord server and reach out to me. If you can not make my specific training hours, please still feel free to join, meet people you could play with, and maybe find another trainer that matches your time zone. 🙂

      About this tournament series


      The ultimate fist fight?

      Think you’ve got fast hands and top-tier micro? It’s time to enter the ring and prove it! Welcome to the most elemental duel you will find on FAF. It's going to be a high-stakes, fast-paced tournament packed into a single day.

      What's the challenge?

      On a 5x5 grid, there is zero room to breathe, no time to sit back and macro, and absolutely no mercy. The maps are tiny, the action starts immediately, and every single misstep or misclick will cost you dearly. One bad move, and your ACU is toast. One lost series, and you're eliminated - it will always be on your mind!

      Whether you’re a micro god or just looking for some intense, heart-pounding 1v1 matches, this single-day sprint will test your reflexes and tactical execution to the absolute limit.

      Are you ready to enter the ring?

      Bring your best builds, sharpen your micro, and don't blink. Do you have what it takes to survive the combos your opponent will be throwing at you and come out on top?

      Sign up now, lock in, and let’s see who reigns supreme!


      This event is a joint effort between the official tournament team and the FAF Dojo, the place to be for voice-based coaching.

      7 / 8 Teams.

      As this is our first time using the new website, we would like to clarify that you can still sign up even after eight teams have formed. If you do, you will be added to the waiting list. If a team fails to check in on Saturday, you will have a chance to take their place. Please make sure you check in on time, even while on the waiting list. Spots are awarded on a first-come, first-served basis. There's only one team spot remaining—sign up now to guarantee your entry!

      6 / 8 Teams.

      There's some 1.1K - 1.2K free agents available to team up with. So anyone around 1k or below would be fine to team up with them. If that applies to you, feel free to join. Of course, if you have a friend you could still team up with them and sign up together.

      @Thorkan It's right there in the initial post. Nuggets just quoted it 😉

      Some advice: From our experience, you have to actively work towards finding a team mate, especially at your rating. Folks ofently shy away from signing up with someone this low ranked, as they are afraid of ending up playing 1v2. And maybe consider joining the FAF Dojo Discord to find some voice-based coaching 🙂

    • RE: Overhaul "Toggle all unit abilities" behaviour on ACUs

      It toggles all the aforementioned. What I'm asking for is a more useful way for it to interact with ACUs. There is no hotkey yet to toggle Auto OC on/off with afaik. Unlike e.g. Stealth, that's clearly one you want to toggle from time to time.

      About this tournament series


      The "Super-Noob Olympics" are our entry-level tournaments. First and foremost, they are meant to be a sparring floor for beginners. Map pools will be appropriate for the skill level e.g. usually avoiding 20x20 and high reclaim maps. As beginners tend to be less familiar even with the "classics", we try to release the map pool somewhat early in order to provide you with some time to practice.

      About the Dojo tournaments


      We alternatingly hold entry- and mid-level tournaments on a monthly basis, also alternating between 2v2 and 3v3. Usually, we run our events on the 4th Saturday of the month with 2 PM UTC being the kick-off time.

      Current rotation:

      • Average Joe 2v2 (u1650 individual, u3000 combined)
      • Super-Noob 3v3 (u1250 individual, u3300 combined)
      • Average Joe 3v3 (u1650 individual, u4500 combined)
      • Super-Noob 2v2 (u1250 individual, u2200 combined)

      On said tournaments page, you can also find the hall of fame and all previous results including replay IDs and lineups. If you want to research an opponent who took part in one of our previous events, you surely can.

      About the Dojo

    • RE: Recall Behavior Adjustment

      I don't agree tbh. Most people won't know about the log file, and it would probably just lead to more toxicity.

    • Overhaul "Toggle all unit abilities" behaviour on ACUs

      The key binding I'm referring to:

      • Orders > Toggle all unit abilities

      What it does:
      It lets you e.g. toggle the walking ability on Salems, stealth on air units, and so on...

      Current behaviour on ACUs:

      Aeon / UEF ACU

      • Toggles: Shield (Field)

      Cybran ACU

      • Toggles: Stealth

      Seraphim ACU

      • Toggles: Absolutely nothing.

      Why would I ever want to deactivate any of these upgrades once I've unlocked them?

      My suggestion:

      Let it toggle the auto-overcharge instead. That way, it would be useful kind of all game long, and the hotkey would finally be functional for all factions.

      Thanks for considering.
