Default settings are indeed ranked -- the 'score' option has no effect on rankedness.

Though we should probably document somewhere the things that do. Maybe highlight options to indicate which ones aren't allowed?

Of course, we'd first need to nail down exactly which values for which options are allowed to be ranked. I'll come back in nine months when the committee has worked that one out.

you can save presets and load them....so everybody can do his own default setting.

I really dislike full share. On Gap this usually leads to games that only end in failed Telemazor or Arty Rush blowouts. In fact I can't recall a game that didn't end after 30 min this way and at least one player when we play 5v5 ends up with -2 or -1 CPU so the best thing is for full share to not be a default setting.

It also unfairly penalizes the team playing for a kill and victory rather than the team which plays defensive and turtles all damn game.

afaik it used to be the case that you can have either full share or no share and the button did not affect the original choice. now it seems to just force full share

oh well

afaik default settings button was added to easily set rated game, so dont force full share or score on since both of these are rated. Just make default setting button not change these and there wont be a problem I think.

I'd better have with share untill death as the default option, but probably the best way is to make default settings configurable for every player.

As long as a DC causes one team to lose stuff a player built. It should be a NO GO, let alone as standard option.

There's really no need to go further into a philosophical debate as long as this point is not fixed.

The old button would reset only the following options:
Victory
Timeouts
CheatsEnabled
CivilianAlliance
GameSpeed
FogOfWar
UnitCap
PrebuiltUnits
NoRushOption

It would leave all other options untouched.

The new behaviour sets every game option (so the team options category is excluded) to its default.
We can independently argue about if the defaults need to be something different.

Full share has been the 'default' setting (What you get when you start FAF the first time) for years.

What has changed is the meaning of the button that reverts to defaults--previously, it would not revert all game options to defaults, it would leave out "Share" and "Score", amongst some other options.

We're discussing whether to revert the button so it no longer sets the defaults for these options again, or whether to change the defaults -- what do people think?

It's horrible but being as i have been so noisy about it so many times I'm pretty sure you all know where i stand and therefore dont need to go into it.
