The New Patch

Postby Lieutenant Lich » 30 Aug 2016, 00:49

Well... Let's sum it up:

1) It is released.
2) It is the new default gamemode.
3) Not all FAF players had the choice of voicing their agreement/disagreement.
4) No public poll was made whatsoever.
5) The changed were passed despite many people explicitly voicing their disagreement in forums.
6) Great job Zock. Great job at not doing your job.

Oh, and you accelerated people leaving FAF. Good job at that too.
Don't complain about that which you aren't willing to change.

Don't offend Lord Zock like that. We gonna suffer the consequences. IE: Tech 1 Monkeylords and experimental tech 4 Mantis.
Joke joke joke.

We did vote on the 1st half of the patch, correct? I remember doing it.

Not sure what's left to say here, gonna give a reply anyway

1) good observation
2) I'm with you
3) err..what? it made sense until now, but this?
4) alright, back to facts, I concur. Fun fact: We had votes about all balance changes of a patch once, it was quite the disaster, as one would expect.
5) unfortunate, but still true indeed. As for every patch that was and will be done for any game by the way.
6) thank you very much. But if the job description would've been to make only changes that everyone agrees to, and then poll them, I'd probably have declined and suggested an experienced fairy tale writer instead.

Hope you other guys like the patch, we worked quite hard on it. See you on the battlefield :)

"we" is 36 people who voted on part 1. FAF is many more than that. Not all that play FAF are on the forums so they never saw or heard about the poll.

yes, many people like it. They like it so much they rage-quit FAF.

You don't necessarily have to like the patch in order for it to give the game a better balance. And no one says there aren't gonna be adjustments if needed.

No one says it but there won't be any until much, much later. Cybran needed nerfs for how long? And it got them just now.

dont worry boys, if you are unhappy with the official balance, there is always a different place to turn to!

unhappy with bomber nerf? dont worry, ours have a lower price increase and some stat buffs too!

unhappy with t2/3 acu having no regen? dont worry our does!

unhappy with nano? dont worry ours is a real upgrade with mid-late game potential that doesn't become obsolete!

tmls have too few missiles? dont worry they have more in equilibrium!

t1mma too OP? its not as strong in our mod!

scathis taken out of the game? well we gave it a unique role that should make it seen all the more often!

unhappy with slow progress? we patch our mod way more often than offical balance, and you can keep up to the latest beta release if you like!

unhappy with something in our mod? dont worry we have the power of listening to people, tell us your woes and if they are properly founded they will be gone!

heres a complete changelog of the mod:

note: some of the changes in the official balance patch are taken from here, such as the tmd fix, the toggle fix, and a few more are based off of work done in the mod, and yet more are kind of trying to do the same thing but with different numbers.

support the balance uprising today! with love, your favourite balance terrorists.

Exotic, I agree that EQ > current balance. If start an uprising - I'll be on your side.

Honestly, better fix the things that the community has been longing for for a long time: i.e. Mod vault and titan vs. loyalist.

Spoiler: show
If you say something about people turning everything into Titan discussion, realize that this happens because that was is still not fixed (only in EQ and my mod).

-IGN gives it a 9.0 out of 10
+ Great ideas and balance. Sounds absolutely great in everyway.
- Used Cybran unit icons in patch notes...

I quite like to mention that every thread turns into a titan thread.
