I've gotten used to building units to the point where it doesn't bother me at all.

U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-U-Unit Lost however has the double effect of being annoying and reminding you that you suck at the same time.

RA Balance changes in the works (Discussion)

While defense stance is hogging most of the feedback out there, it's important to remember that there are a whole slew of additional balance changes out there. Recently Soscared added another balance PR, which introduces several more changes not in the current official playtest. There will be less t...

I'm starting to wonder if the 'stop micro' issue doesn't have more to do with the stutter step bug reported by AoA: https://github.com/OpenRA/OpenRA/issues/13722 It feels like rocket soldiers are particularly suffering at the moment. (And if you've seen me play, you know how much I like rockets.) Th...

For me personally game balancing has always come before the league reason being that the league's growth and potential rests on the former. The game balancing streams has always been the most successful ones and for me to this day I can't really think of a more colorful experience with OpenRA than ...

I've played several matches on the playtest, and it is hard as heck to switch back to the release after getting used to the new Defense stance. I've been critical of it early, but now that I'm seeing how competitive games will shape up I have to say it is a positive change. The game feels much more ...

Now that we're moving on to official playtesting, I'll share my take on what I saw in my SMT playtest and which of those changes I recommend be escalated to a future official playtest. Recommended for official playtest: - Grenadier explosion changed to small explosion from big explosion. Chance on d...

I forgot to recommend removing faction locking from the masters division. Now that Allies and Soviets are more or less on even footing, competitive players are able to play both equally. Allowing players to choose which faction they want to play will add a level of intrigue as faction choice is ofte...

I wanted to steer clear of this thread but I'll answer Soscared's call to give feedback on the playtest sans the defense stance change. -Building hit shapes were not a big concern of mine going in. I knew it would just be a matter of adjusting some numbers, and Soscared has already done a damn good ...

Thx to both contestant of the last round of hidden path to the master to have played their match up in the shadow without advirtising it.

The official playtest is looking like it’ll be out Saturday, and if everything stays on schedule I’d like to host a playtest stream Saturday evening around 6 p.m. UTC. We’re expecting some huge changes to gameplay so it’s important to get people playtesting early and often with this one. Bec...
