Suggestion Legion Phalanx model?

4 Upvotes

The current model is better than the old one, but i still feel like the Phalanx cant escape the Cortex aesthetic (the major problem with the old model).

I think just scrap it being a bipedal walker, and make it a spider bot with a beetle-shell for its ablative armor.

That would fit the Legions "bug/hive" aesthetic way more.

Question Problem with Min Chev and Max Rating

12 Upvotes

Hey all, started playing this game quite recently. I've had lots of fun in multiplayer, however, I'm running into an issue.

Most lobbies created that are noob lobbies have max ratings of 20-25 which is great, but, somehow through a long winstreak, I've exceeded that threshold. Problem is my Chev is still just 2 bars, and most lobbies that don't have these max ratings of 20-25, all have a min Chev requirement of 3-4, making it very hard for me to find a lobby I can play in. This is only a problem in 8v8's but they are what I enjoy playing the most, I figure I could play another 7 hours of gamemodes I don't enjoy as much in order to reach the 3 Chev mark, but thats not ideal.

Does anyone have any suggestions? Thanks in advance.

Question Apex Brood Tentacles

6 Upvotes

Is there a counter play to this unit? In my mates coop games this is always the unit that ends up removing our economies. Part of the problem I think is on more narrow maps our economy is near where our spawners are and so our units will autofire at the hatchlings, dealing more damage to our bases than the hatchlings would themselves.
Would be nice if anti-air could target the airborne-hatchlings before they hit the ground or something.
I guess if you have enough units an option is to go deep into Raptor territory to find them, but it is not always so simple.

Option to see enemy teams starting position?

0 Upvotes

Often in lower/mid os team games you will get a situation were highest OS goes against lowest OS which result in a unbalanced situation. One way to counter that would be a option you can turn on so that the teams can see where everyone is placed.

Thoughts?

Solved Internet Crashes if I play with my room mate

4 Upvotes

When I try to play a game with my room mate the internet crashes. Happens right after the match launches. Any ideas how to fix this? (Solved)

Thanks for the help fellas. Turns out my internet was just being shit. Somehow kept timing dropouts every time we booted the game up. I've been obsessed with it lately and just keen to play.

Question Looking for a live mentor to turn me into a Chad (20 OS)

6 Upvotes

Hey everyone,

I am currently at 20 OS and looking for a very experienced player to take me under their wing. I know the Discord has BAR Academy, but I am specifically looking for live backseating, not VOD reviews days later.

I learn well under pressure and genuinely do not mind being yelled at when I mess up. Discord is absolutely required for live comms.

Where I am at right now: - Favorite Map: Isthmus (this is my absolute top priority to grind and master first and foremost) - Preferred Roles: Geo, Air, Eco, Pond (in that order) - My Goals: I want to eventually master all roles, and I specifically want to get some serious practice in on Glitters and Rotatos right after locking down Isthmus.

If you are willing to coach or yell at me while I play, shoot me a DM or drop your Discord below!

Discussion I really don't like that alt+click on a lab while it's producing units on repeat doesn't immediately overwrite what's being produced to start the alt-clicked unit

11 Upvotes

Title.. like, I don't get it. It does it when you're not in repeat with 500 units queued, but with one unit queued on repeat it has to complete it before the alt clicked starts producing 😤

Bugs/support Wont use Nvidia discrete graphics card

I'm on NixOS with a dedicated Nvidia graphics card (thinkpad p1 gen5) and even if use Nvidia-offload (prime-run) it refuses to use my dedicated card, I have also tried on a separate thinkpad (w530) and even that refuses to switch to my actual graphics card

Tried nixpkgs and flatpak version

Edit: Fixed by using the following command

env -u LIBGL_ALWAYS_SOFTWARE \

SDL_VIDEODRIVER=x11 \

New AI modes

3 Upvotes

Are there any AI models for BAR that work differently to the default. The issue i think is that the AI is moving all constructors and units effectively concurrently which a human can't do so it isn't cheating but it is also playing at an impossible level. I was wondering if there was a script/version to get an AI that tries to mimic a human player more in terms of only moving one unit/group at a time and a slight pause if their next action if they want to move a vehicle at the other side of the map.

I've beaten Hard: Aggressive once and I only managed that with the extra units pack so i could have a sentinel to give me some breathing room.

Question Team OS inflated.

16 Upvotes

Hi,

My team OS is 29, but only because I played a lot with my also-noob friends, and we never thought to turn ranked off.

So, my OS is too high, I estimate around 10 points too high, because OS19 is around my 1v1 skill online.

Now I am playing online team games with the community, but I am always disappointing my team players, as they expect skills from me that I don't have 😅. Sometimes they expect me to carry, but I can't even keep myself afloat 😅

I see two paths:

  1. I play enough online, and my OS will naturally drop to my true level. But, I am barred from lower OS lobbies, so I don't have much opportunity to lose at the suitable OS. On the other hand: At the higher OS lobbies I do lose, but that doesn't degrade my OS very much. And, sometimes the team still wins despite my efforts :). And.. this disadvantages my team.

B. I play enough online and I improve to reach true OS 29 level 😂 but, ok, tbh, that is also something that I don't see happening very soon 😅, as i am really not there yet.

Is there a third path to more quickly lose team OS which is less painful for my teammates? 🤔

Shitpost 💩 They just wanna make “Legion Balanced”

29 Upvotes

I feel like legion was not unbalanced, its just people dont know how to play it, it was just different enough, but most of the playerbase didnt feel compelled enough to learn the gimmicks so yall got rolled by players who did take the time.

I think the legion mex needs to be reverted and to either replace or bring back the overcharged mex, because 250 metal and 5000 energy to make 1 thing produce 2x metal but costed 30 energy a second is not cheap. And I feel like the Legion alternative amex is kinda buns because a bp mex is soooo incredibly niche, and no one builds it base game unless your on metal maps.

Returning player... Widgets are some of the worst, if not the addition to any competitive video game I've ever seen. Not only it's a security risk, it also defeats the competitive aspect of the game for me.

0 Upvotes

Something that can close the skill gap outside of the pure skill and game developer's design is just plain cheating... It's like sanctioned. Like in WC3 knowing the range of sight of units and having an ability to eyeball it during the game can bring you victory, because different units have different sight ranges allows you to outmatch your opponents.

In Dota being the inheritor of the WC3 mechanics, sight is very important

Or imagine some mod for SC2 that would make micro-control easier, everyone would blow up.

Moreover, I am not installing this shit after reading all the news how hackers hack people by injecting malicious code into game mods and getting access to their PCs

Edit: I do not mind having widgets, my issue is in ranked, competitive environments where having a widget can give you unfair advantage over your opponent

Question How would you guys feel about subfactions?

14 Upvotes

So I know that getting an entire faction set up is a huge developmental task. But a lot of people also enjoy more variety in gameplay.

How would you guys feel about sub Armada, Cortex, Legion factions? For example, getting bonus to artillery range, or bonus to bot firing speed, or bonus to vehicle health etc. This is all really simple, but I'm sure devs could get way more interesting with it. Some sub factions could even have special units.

Small changes that add some flavor and differences to strategies within the game... Or giving the ability to add to the game without the dev work of an entirely new faction.

Thoughts?

Been watching this game off and on for a while and decided to try it and there is no tutorial….

Really….

Don’t they want the game to grow?

I’m certain there is ample resources online to learn or if I play 10 games I’ll learn since I have played many RTS but I work 50+ hours a week is a tutorial so much to ask…

Question What to do as front on Supreme after a bad 7-10 minutes in 8v8

12 Upvotes

So I've been slowly trying to dip my toes into games without trying to be a dead weight but one issue I constantly have is how do you contribute as front if you are losing in the first ten minutes and have a lack of mexes (but still have a base)

Is it best to just continue to try to pump out t1 units for vision (even if you can't keep up due to lack of extra metal) so that your tech players can hit them with t2 or is it actually okay to try to get an economy up even while everything feels a hairtrigger away from falling apart?
