1. Top Air: typically spams t1 until bottom air gets t3, but not necessarily; in charge of getting radar, and also SMD in time before enemy Eco can destroy everyone in top
2. (Upper) mid: goes to the upper lane in mid. Land focus, but will often start with air fac to get engies in mid in time. Playstyle depends on individual.
3. Mid: handles the "true" mid lane, his survival often depends on Navy even if he wins his slot. Can and probably will start with air fac like the other mid player
4. Navy: as the name says
5. Eco: as the name says, is supposed to handle late-game and is responsible for winning (or losing) the match when it gets to that stage
6. Bottom Air: in charge of getting t3 air faster than the enemy team and possibly win the game or cripple them with strat(s), or at the very least getting asfs out in time for enemy strats; also in charge of radar for bottom. Might give t2/t3 engies to eco/rest of team to help, but this will necessarily delay his own progression.

Variations and other strategies are always possible (t2 air spam to win, double/triple navy, eco/navy ACUs to mid.), especially when playing with friends/people you know (also see: stacked teams, a reason why most mid-to-high level games use opti).

I'll let someone else tell you about the True Masters because I wouldn't know.

One important thing to know is who gets what rocks: it's generally rude to eat rocks that don't belong to you (not to mention entirely harmful to your team on the whole), and I have seen high level players just quit minutes into the game because their rocks were being stolen/trees knocked down. If you prepare any pic with the rocks marked I'll tell who they belong to.

I really don't think I need a dedicated channel

Ping to Australia from EU is always unplayable

False.

I actually read this, and all I have to say is:

Are you ok?

Is this actually some joke?

but now I need to verify my ownership of a game nobody owns

You couldn't be any more wrong.

@sladow-noob said in I feel like Czar's crash is more important than its' weapons:

If your opponent attacks with ASF, you groundfire and all the ASF get a huge amount of damage (Stack 2 czars, groundfire and every single ASF will die by flying through the beam).

Pretty sure that was nerfed back in 2015, patch notes for 3650 mentions it.

Nothing is stopping you from making a mod to change the name of their units if you want to, but I highly doubt it will be officially integrated into FAF if that's what you were asking for.

Personally, I don't think there's much of a point in giving them human-readable names, it's part of the faction alien flavor.

@closed

Excuse me?

Thank you for the explanation Jip, but I have to disagree with your conclusion that these threads are harmful: what you just said was never mentioned anywhere and now it's readily available on the forums, where it can be read by anyone. If the guy went to discord and never made this thread, that info would remain there.

Now if someone else has the same suggestion they can see here that it was already mentioned and why it's not viable.

@blackyps said in Developers Iteration III of 2023:

and I don't know why everyone's been so hostile lately.

I have to agree and was going to post something similar myself, so thanks for doing it.

Misunderstandings can always happen but it would be good sometimes to take a moment and realize "I didn't read this properly" rather than pointing fingers and saying "you didn't explain this properly".

Or, when in doubt, just ask for an explanation, like Jip said.

Let's try to keep hostilities for when we are playing, shall we?

I just want newer players (or older ones that forgot) to know that ICE used to allow people to reconnect (fairly) reliably and that a new version of ICE is being developed-but because of malicious third parties work on that is being delayed.

Yes, these missions are hard.
I'd recommend playing offline so you can save & load and also pause.

But bottom line, if you are hating it, no reason to harm yourself, play something else.

Deribus and Jip, he already said he lowered the difficulty to easy.

Here's your best friend

It won't tell you directly if the game is ranked or not, but you can at least check if the host has put some option that will unrank it... you can always just ask while in lobby.

mobile smd!

I think this situation is pretty bad:

1. Now even more people know that you can cheat this way (I didn't). Now that it is publicly available, it's safe to assume that everyone will abuse it (or try to).

2. This just takes away a feature without even fixing the bug/exploit. If this can't be fixed, there MUST be a workaround, going as far as kicking out dead players if it comes to it.

To be clear, I am not saying that making this exploit known was a mistake, but a real solution must be found, not something that will take away a feature that many enjoyed while doing nothing to prevent anyone that wants to cheat from doing it.

Let's avoid any misunderstanding so here's some correct pics:

Just to clarify, and going with what you said, that violation was simply for quitting out of ladder: there is a system in place that penalizes those that quit from a launched game, as this effectively prevents whoever else was matched to play. Either way, and especially since you didn't want to use the matchmaker, don't worry about it: this system is just to prevent repeat offenders from making the matchmaker unplayable.

I'm not sure it's to be considered an exploit to begin with, and I highly doubt that so many people don't know specifically about it, besides it is even mentioned in the loading tips

which also further mention

.
Therefore it's not really hidden at all: play enough games and, even if you don't learn about it by experience, you'll read the relevant tip.

I personally would just consider this a game mechanic like any other.

Interested to see what others would say.

I can't take you seriously when you say that this will reduce toxicity.
