Why restorers changed out of a nowhere ?

Postby dstojkov » 08 Apr 2013, 13:20

Hi guys,


I just noticed that the restorer has been changed out of any vote ... It was not at all present in the last change community not even saw like a bug like mantis speed turret were.

And also de facto the patch saison is now 1 month 2 month .... ? How it works anyway ?

in the last patch were some changes which I was not happy with ... resulting in that I didn't play for 3 month. The pb is I complained and the answer was you didn't participate in the test phase !!!!!!!!!!


Also wtf now people are not happy with patch change: I am ok with that like I were. But now they don't have to wait 3 months like others did before. If they did not take the time to participate to the change why should they be heard now !!


the patching system getting out of control or are to much influenced by the lobbyst and this is disgusting

Don't know where you get the idea that it was changed.
Tip : it was not.

The ASF were nerfed, which buffed the restorers. Agree this needs to be fixed urgently.

A lot of good things have come out of the balance testing but I agree some things are disgusting. The asf change was good because it reduced asf spam and improved game speed in bigger games like setons; however, they should have simultaneously rebalanced the other t3 air (gunships, etc) to match. You are not the first to complain about the restorers and the issue has been discussed in aeolus a lot recently.

Lately they have been talking about nerfing mex bonus adjacency which is totally unnecessary. The economy in this game is not broken.

Central to this problem is that instead of inviting all players to identify genuinely imbalanced aspects of the game and bugs, what we have instead is a system where elite players (>1700 rating) are invited to pull ideas out of their a** and then persuade the wider user base to vote on them.

Instead of fixing what is broken, this approach simply guarantees that unnecessary and occasionally even outlandish ideas have a very worrying chance of creeping into and disfiguring the game we all love. I do worry that with this taking place every 2 months, if anyone takes a long break from FA they could be in for a big surprise when they come back.

Replays with Restorers owning 3 times their number in ASF, please, then we'll take you seriously.

Wow I have to agree with Zep !

It's exactly the complete opposite!!!!!!!

Feedbacks were requested from EVERYONE, and the elite players' (>2000) opinion was not more considered than the lower ranked ones (which is a mistake imho).
Apparently very feedbacks were gathered, but that's uber trolling right there buddy!

That being said, the restorers have obviously been buffed by the latest ASF changes, and a nerf in HP would be nice. I don't think it's outrageously OP though, but I only played a few games lately.

Let's say they come to completely useless to almost worth their name ("Anti Air Gunship").

Mass for mass, they are still UP. Energy wise, they are just okay.

Ideally, Restorers AA role should be further enhanced and their Anti-ground weapon a very secondary weapon, so that they are indeed a good counter to ASF (some kind of slow, flying SAM) but cannot own ground, naval units and structures.
