Custom avatars has been given to the winners. Thanks for dev team for fixing broken avatars bug which persisted for several months. Payments of prize money has also been finalized.

Sorry, that was an open-ended question to people in general, not you specifically.

While the actual recorded quality is low, that video has some really nice cinematic shots and also a coherent narrative that fits the music. It would be cool if he entered into the competition.

The new cybran build bots are now available in FAF Develop! This should significantly improve the performance of games where you use a lot of hives. The aesthetics changed slightly (as you can see above) and this is still open for input. If you have suggestions - please post them here. There is a short guide here on how to play on FAF Develop and report back if anything happens: https://forum.faforever.com/topic/2332/questions-about-performance/12

@FtXCommando said in Understanding team maps: If a game ends quick, your lobby will refill quick. You just played a game with 8, 10, 12 people that fit your hosting requirements and they all just conveniently became available for a new game at the same time. Turns out this tends to result in quick rehosts. Maybe... Just saying it doesn't make it so. It does sometimes happen, but isn't reliable, and if you have an hour or so to play... it may not be worth the risk.

GG, got me Evildrew.

Mkay it looks like we've really gone off the rails here. I'm going to lock this topic for 24 hrs, and when it's unlocked again please remember to discuss T3 mex and/or reclaim balance. Shitposts have no place here, you have #aeolus and Discord for that. Edit: Upon consultation with other members I will not be reopening this thread due to the lack of evidence in the OP. Please see the updated guidelines for more information

An aircraft just sitting there would be shot down easily that's probably why it's not standard behavior as a bomber is supposed to drop first and then it gets shot as it passes over while a gunship gets shot at the whole time.

Apologies if this has already been considered @Jip but can the original texture be replaced with a higher resolution one that makes room in UV space for new HQ geometry? For example, take a 512 texture and place it top left in a 1024 canvas, divide base model UV coordinates by 2, allocate new UVs in the 0.5 - 1 range that is now available for use in the 1024 canvas. Of course that still leaves the problem of actually authoring these additional textures and my instinct is that it would involve reusing repeated patterns from the original. The problem of albedo being mixed in with the baked GI could be solved in principle with a high/low pass filter as a starting point, making a plausible albedo texture without GI contribution available for copy-paste over the new geometry, and blender can be used to provide the GI for these new elements. Basically I'm asking if this sort of solution is acceptable from your developer perspective, fully aware that it creates work on the art side but ready to contribute. I know it doesn't address animations but could be part of the answer if you decide to iterate on HQs further.

@arma473 I know of a good thread for that : https://forum.faforever.com/topic/705/faf-statistics-megathread

@captainklutz You could simply require that by having T1, T2 and T3 air staging for each class. Then you can balance the cost of the air staging proportionally if you feel that for example ASF repair is too cheap an option.

Any replay IDs?

Showmatch next week (March 9th), Noon EST featuring Blackheart vs Jagged! Also some updates released featuring unit descriptions for units and otherwise.

The answer to your question is in the original post. There is no more accurate release scedule yet.

@fruxano Unfortunately I have the same problem, but haven't found a solution yet.

Thats not a great argument imo. The icon isnt that way because its supposed to trick your enemy, its because Cybrans have more bots and they use a bot instead of a tank in t1. Its that simple. That being said, i do agree with wath @biass said. Making a ui mod would fix the problem without enforcing a change many people dont agree with.

When is my next cringe tourney
