People can play nomads or faf as they want but get rated for what they are doing ...
I think that is best.
There are plenty of examples in the world that show that forcing people to choose something will cause them to leave, even if they would (eventually) make that same choice of their own volition.
Also, I would not add the nomads in a normal overnight patch.
I think of it as "The Nomads Expansion", but at the very least it should be announced and released as "The Nomads Patch". - I think that renaming the Nomads to either of those names would distinguish it from the other mods and cause more people to play it, without forcing them.
I cannot agree, this is in no way a possible comparison. I don't believe people would react this way at all, everyone on faf is aware of how they are a part of this moving ship, if they are more exposed to nomads they will put more efforts to making it fit.
Again I am persuaded if nomads are left as too much of an option it will pick up dust and cobwebs and before you know it be another project that just never got the attention to finish
And I'll add this : real effort should be put forth to balance this race sufficiently so that it could be added to ladder
And this is unfair compared to the other races because we worked on the balance for the other races along the way, and it's only because they were ladder races that this was possible, otherwise people would not have bothered. think of the multiple changes on manti, on firebeetles, scathis, bombers ect...
What we could do is add the nomads the matchmaking but it would be automatically be unranked if nomads got chosen, this way people would still pick up what would balance things and point it out and wouldn't rage about it because they lost points.
