Balance Discussion Meeting

apparently not

I think it's more a case of 'what do we want?' than anything else.

Unrelated but... England and Ireland are not in the same time zone as Spain, Italy and Germany etc...

I've just added a first draft of the agenda to the OP. It may change a bit before the meeting itself, and if anyone has any suggestions for additions, please get in touch.

Guys I can't seem to fix this, it's been like this FOREVER. Googledoc and answers and some stuff have an interface entirely in spanish, not that I don't understand but I like to pick my language, youtube, google+ and gmail all show up in U.S. english, I set the language to english in google options and even switched it around, managing to put other languages on these buggy parts but for some reason everytime i try to use googledocs in english the interface is in spanish!! I have litteraly no explanation to it. even in a fully english gmail interface, the keyboard button is in spanish wtf?

Would love to join. PM me !!!

What about the fairest way to run competitive matches? I think this will always be an issue as Neutrino has stated that he doesn't plan on having custom made planets for launch. So unless someone makes a mod we'll be playing on procedurally generated planets which will never be 100% equal.

I think you mostly answered your own question there If it's okay with you, I'd like to save that until the open discussion at the end? Because I'm not sure that's really a question of balance; more like badgering Neutrino to make sure he keeps fiddling with the procedural generator

Well the subject is about balance.. balance of random starting positions. But I understand this meeting is more intended for unit balance so that's cool. If it gets discussed at the end and something comes out of it I'll be happy

I think I may have a mic Saturday after all. Could you PM me the TS3? Thanks.

I'll be sending out the PMs on Saturday

I'll try to attend. Can you specify the server etc in 1st post? Or send invitation via PM.

Edit: I see, you send PM. Can you put large scale destruction first? If you dont play with top 10 players which beat you with first peewee then all games are about nukes. I think now it is most unbalanced stuff.

I can't be there in the end

How come?

What are you guys planning? a theory crafting session? I would have gone if a dev went, but i cant see this becoming anything more than theory crafting.

Take a poke at the agenda. It's all high-level discussion at this point - just trying to get a feel for the community's opinions.

Although I don't think there'll be a dev there in person, they will be listening to the recording, so it is still worth coming along if you've got any opinions you want to share!

Thats not convincing ^_^ But good luck getting past the bias some of the community seems to have though.

Your loss and I've no intention in getting past anything - if people are biased it'd be good to hear their reasoning as to why!

Birthday party that I have to go to, worst is I really don't want to, that friends house is hell on earth to me, but I won't be forgiven if I don't come.

Even if it's just theorycrafting it is not a bad thing to do so. Having meetings like this makes sure that atleast a part of the (vocal) community can agree on what makes a good game. That way whenever the developers decide to gather user input again, we can all stand up and say "this is what we want".
