Anecdotally, after mucking around in 2 lobbies that instantly crashed for 40 mins, I went to play Starcraft 2 ladder and got 2 disconnects that forced me to forfeit a few hours apart, which is very rare (2 in one day is unheard of). So yeah I would not play custom lobbies without unplugging your router for 10 mins afterward if you play other competitive games like Starcraft or Counter Strike because until your IP changes it's gonna get hit.

Really unfortunate stuff, although I can't say I'm surprised people this manchildtarded lurk among the playerbase.

TMD is already incredibly cheap for what it counters and making it cheaper won’t solve the issue of getting locked out of TMD if your T2 HQ gets sniped

What if it’s made of a super advanced light material

100 dps is useless at that stage of the game, might as well disable the gun until it’s upgraded

The vast majority of the playerbase doesn’t even read the forums, so I think it’s silly for people to use negative sentiment on the forums as an accurate bellwether of the playerbase. Moreover, treating the majority of the playerbase as largely indifferent to any changes so just cater to what the highest level players say isn’t a necessary corollary to this. Why not actually have polls on the client news page for potential changes?

@resin_smoker

Personally I think upgrades should be for commanders and sacus only but it’s your mod

@popsniper

That’s bizarre and I don’t think that’s how steam works

Stop reducing the volatility of the game. Volatility is not bad

Soul Ripper exists to inefficiently leverage an advantage elsewhere in the game like a lane win or eco advantage into a strategic air asset that can tip the scales in a future clash or to punish experimentals that aren’t given air support. Feel like it’s not stellar by design. The best advantage it has is that you don’t need T3 Air fac to make it, just T3 engies

Ladder is decently active but you see a lot of the same people at whatever rating level, not terrible but it’s definitely dependent on if certain people are queuing multiple times in a row

Anything that makes this game more similar to Overwatch in any way is bad

I don’t actually think the Obsidian’s shield is intended to recharge in real games, notice how it’s much stronger than the shields for the T3 units. The Obsidian’s movement speed is also very slow along with shield recharge which doesn’t facilitate pulling it in and out of battle with micro. I always took it to be a unit which is incredibly tanky but can be circumvented if you cause your opponent to power stall via destroying pgens or forcing bad economy balancing

I like the idea but then people with coms about to die would just close their games instead if the situation called for it. Like if you have an allied low hp ACU near yours

It's annoying when people are referring to someone in chat by their previous name and I have no clue who they are talking about, sometimes even impeding teamwork, but thats not really the fault of the person who changed their name, but the people who expect everyone to know everyone elses identity in their clan or whatever

This change sort of mitigates that, but doesn't really eliminate it, and the year duration is really onerous...

@mavr390

Cybran got a T1 scout sub, Aeon got a T1 static artillery, and UEF got a T3 anti arty shield

I was about to say, some of these Cybran units look familiar!

Don’t forget they’re slow

The Deroys look really creative, I love the leg laser beams

Ohhhhhhhhhhh he thicc

As far as I’m aware, isn’t the “no new units” policy still in effect? I know the Aeon T3 Shield Disruptor is being transferred to the Cybrans but that’s not really a whole new unit
