We all know noobs can't live without F2, so they gave units like observers and overseers the ability to hold position even with F2, but then the observer lost its cloak in this mode... Er... Noobs can't spy on enemies anymore :c
Hey, intern! I see you update visuals for spells (ghost's EMP). So, er... mothership's slow and sentry's shield look like they only affects ground units, when they also affect air units :B
I play on Ubuntu. You need to use Steam: Games > Add a non-Steam game to my library, select Battle.net installer, in properties change to compatibility Proton 9, install, CLOSE, add Battle.net the same way (I use compatibility "experimental" here).
2 downsides: Battle.net freezes while you are in the game, and I am pretty sure you get less FPS than on Windows.
Tested for like 20+ hours and still playing.
I don't really need to know what the people I murder think about me.
I know you can press F11 and manually mute everyone, but it would be nicer to just have an option like that.
Game officially abandoned a long time ago; slowly being pushed out of cybersport events; no communication from the devs; seemingly random changes (they might as well be asking AI what to change next); no one knows who does the changes, so we call them the intern; PTR2 goes life for like 2 days before it becomes live; balance is in an unstable state and will require months to get fixed from where we are.
All this looks like agony. Is this how it ends?
It's when an aurora has an enemy in range and you order it to retreat, but it instead moves forward a bit each time you give such order.
Small change, would make playing Terran a bit more comfy.
Basically, make them live a bit shorter, not longer. And make sure it works both for close and far minerals.
Stalkers are possible the most overused unit in the game. They are being spammed in all match-ups, in every game, always getting the blink upgrade. Meanwhile, the Protoss have a lot of anti-ground units. Unlikely to happen, but I would not mind seeing less stalkers. Turning them into an anti-air unit would make this happen. I mean 2 weapons, like for thors: weaker anti-ground, stronger anti-air.
When you order a high templar to storm an area, it moves to get in range. When you order a disruptor to nova an area, it shoots from wherever it is on the map in the direction of the area, not to mention that it has friendly fire and novas can bump into stuff, making predicting whether it will reach its target even harder. Whoever designed this unit did a very poor job.
Also, did I just find a bug? When I nova my own immortals, it only pops their temporary 100-HP shield. Shouldn't it do 200 damage to Protoss units?
Real-scale RTS games hit me hard in the head when I 1st tried Supreme Commander a long time ago. The 2nd game sucked, so we all went back to SupCom 1, but with the community taking over development with FAF. Then we found out that guys who made Nomads decided to make their own SupCom-like game called Sanctuary. Great news and all, but the development felt very slow.
Now I find out that they have started vibe-coding the game... (check their Discord). One thing is when SupCom's source code is lost and you can't do much, the other thing is when you use AI to write code that works but you won't be able to fix bugs or add features properly because you don't understand your code, because you didn't write it.
And the main dev won't shut up about making a Factorio-like game the moment this one is done... So he is not very interested in his own game.
And all this after one of the 2 main devs left the project some years ago... I don't know, man. This just sucks.
Sure, the free demo will be out in a week, it will probably work and all, and then they (at fucking last) start a Kickstarter campaign, and they will promise to finish the game in a year, but... What's the point?
No, I don't like BAR, I tried (several hundred hours). I don't want to play an RTS with toys for kids and shooting ranges like everyone is short-sighted. Plus, everything is wearing a TNT vest because... Because this is what everything has to have?..
We are doomed. I no longer have faith in modern games.
I had a philosophy assignment, I chose time travel. Here are the 2 main ways to resolve all time paradoxes:
Basically, the only way to avoid time paradoxes is to forbid changing your past.
I also recently came up with a 3rd (more complicated) way: Multiple timelines, can get even into your own, but cannot change anything in it. Basically, it combines the 1st 2 ways. Simple example with 2 timelines: Time-traveler from timeline 1 jumps into timeline 2, kills himself young, jumps into timeline 1 and tries to kill himself, fails, remembers this episode from his childhood about a crazy man trying to kill him.
Could not let this die with me (I am not dying yet). Thoughts?
