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

All things considered, if you are going to the trouble of copying text, alt-tabbing, and pasting text into a google translate page, you might find it more convenient just to use a mobile device to translate the text directly.
No, because many don't know and can't type russian characters
hold the top 16 rated players at gunpoint and force them to play a massive tournament
You are severely overstating the importance of manual reclaim in FAF.
Funnily enough, you said it yourself:
@squirtle said in Adjustment to the reclaim rates:
Your APM would be better spent focusing on every other part of the game.
This is correct, manual reclaim is very situationally a favourable decision to make beyond minute 5 of the game. As BlackYps said it's entirely optional and if you'll watch a pro level POV you'll notice the game isn't a "(manual) reclaim simulator".
You're also entirely missing the point on high APM favouring players because of manual reclaim. Even for high APM players, manual reclaim is a decision to make. Even for them there's better things to do, and manual reclaim isn't just some thing to sink excess APM into.
Okay, but consider this: the SNOOP (uef tech 1 land scout) costs ONLY TWELVE mass and does 2 damage PER SECOND?
Let me paint you the picture: a snoop could LITERALLY kill 1000 mavors (6 billion mass apparently) FOR THE COST OF TWELVE MASS????
This is utterly ridiculous and I don't understand how this has flown under everyone's, especially chris taylor's, radars.
I will not stand for this.
No longer will I suffer from the poor decisions of the balance team.
Snoops are stupid and they ruin the game
solves the demotivating feeling that people experience when having a negative rating though
@blackyps said in No ranks below 0 (yes / no)?:
The 0 point in the distributions of ratings is chosen completely arbitrary. For the system only relative differences between rating matter. You could add 1000 to everyone's rating and everything would still behave the same, just fresh players would now start at 1000 rating.
Wonder why this isn't done? Would it just lead to a shift of rating discrimination towards <1000s anyway?
@nuggets said in FAF Statistics Megathread:
Yes, we clearly need a graph to see if high rated scene is declinging. I bet it doesn't even show as declining because tons of people are 2k+ now, but the skill difference is still there.
People like you are exactly why the competitive scene is "declinging." Instead of focusing on supporting and encouraging new players, you seem to be more interested in maintaining a sense of elitism. The influx of high-rated players should be seen as an opportunity to foster a more vibrant and dynamic competitive environment. By being dismissive and critical, you're contributing to a negative atmosphere that discourages new talent from developing and thriving. If we want the competitive scene to grow and improve, we need to be inclusive and supportive, not dismissive and divisive.
That was in regards to preventing players from sniping your tmd, and tml acus. Both of these are much harder to prevent than a simple tml rush. If your opponent gets a loaded tml before you even have access to t2, you ecoed too much or spammed t1 too much (in which case you should be able to rush the tml and kill it)
you really gotta ask yourself if it isn't your own fault that your opponent managed to acquire T2, built a TML in a forward position, and loaded it with multiple missiles before you even had T2 up
