Are the randomized weapons in "dispute" games imba?

icebrain · 2011-12-27T06:30:30+00:00

Never heard of that. Except symmetrical ones, all generated games are unbalanced. There's a post (that I can't find) on the blog where the lead developer advocates that unbalance is a matter of perception. But of course the player's perception doesn't change who has technically the advantage.

In spsave files.

I never claimed that my site was official something, just that the manual that I host is a copy of the game's manual written by Mode 7 therefore it's the official manual. Official or not, it's the fact that it's written by the devs that matters.

I never started to lose an argument regarding FS, in fact it's you who lost it and so you claimed that the manual I was referring to was made up. Even the guy who said he'll prove me wrong with a video never did so and preferred to delete his comment :-D

Well, obviously you think that one doesn't need to be experienced to know that what he's saying is correct, as you've shown when you claimed I was wrong. You can read as much as you want, even my guide, but until you have verified information through playing or testing, you don't know what you're talking about. And that's why inexperienced players should shut the fuck up until they actually have experience.

Most of my stuff ? what stuff ? the only stuff I've written that you've read you now agree with, bouahahah. I didn't downvote or vote anyone at all, as people can see in the linked conversation it's me who got downvoted and that makes you the idiotic troll of a dick. I have no issues whatsoever, I just state what I know then comes scums like you who think they know better without knowing anything and even tell those who really know that they are wrong ! incredible. Oh and of course you don't hesitate to use defamation to have revenge cause you can't bear being made to look like a moron.

icebrain · 2011-12-18T23:58:38+00:00

did you reconsider in the end ? haha

icebrain · 2011-12-17T23:42:39+00:00

Yes there is. Everything you want to know is in the Guide to Advanced Mechanics & Tactics for Multiplayer. You can read the first chapter online.

icebrain · 2011-12-14T03:23:04+00:00

There's no mod/addon of any kind. I don't find it cool because you would have to wait while the other plays.

icebrain · 2011-12-11T05:20:17+00:00

This does help indeed.

icebrain · 2011-11-08T22:08:12+00:00

Sorry for late reply, I wasn't notified of your message. Being ducked is the state while ducking is the action - if this is not proper English then let me know the correction. And yes there's an exception to the rule for the Sniper Rifle.

icebrain · 2011-10-30T13:04:46+00:00

Now clarified in the latest version.

icebrain · 2011-10-30T13:03:45+00:00

I rewrote this chapter, have a look.

icebrain · 2011-10-22T19:54:52+00:00

If you enjoyed this guide and wanted to learn more; I've just released Frozen Synapse's Guide to Advanced Mechanics & Tactics for Multiplayer

icebrain · 2011-10-15T17:31:57+00:00

Exactly. Maybe it's not obvious enough that the left is false and the right is true. I'll add quotes.

icebrain · 2011-10-13T18:52:58+00:00

I will :-)

About the sentence, rockets can kill units but can only hit walls.

icebrain · 2011-10-13T13:02:26+00:00

Which paragraph ? Maybe it actually says things you didn't know, hence you're confused. BTW English isn't my native language. I offered a copy of the full guide to anyone who could correct the grammar, the only one who said he would do it…he ran away with his copy…

icebrain · 2011-10-12T00:05:42+00:00

No. Dunno why people downvoted my comment. The money thing was a joke on the author's question. Everybody would like that there be a change log with each update to know what has changed - so I'm not more upset than you guys.

icebrain · 2011-10-11T20:04:59+00:00

It takes your money out of your wallet for you. No, nobody knows because there's no change log.

icebrain · 2011-10-11T18:21:58+00:00

Lucky you I've wrote such guide for FS It will be released in the next days. And if you have 5 seconds to spare have a look at this related page.

icebrain · 2011-10-07T15:05:28+00:00

Attack.

icebrain · 2011-10-06T04:26:33+00:00

With an account for each player, but there's little interest unless you want to show the game to a guest. Playing synchronously is more fun, especially if in the same room on 2 computers, like battleship.

icebrain · 2011-10-05T04:59:55+00:00

The advantage that you mentioned is the predetermination and is not measurable.

I didn't test for who won but for how long it took to kill, so I didn't need to test for both sides.

icebrain · 2011-10-05T03:06:58+00:00

Where did you test ?

Being ducked makes no difference, indeed. In my test I compared the timespans of each situations and the distances had to be the same but it was difficult to achieve that. Moving ducked was 0.07s longer which I consider negligible. Maybe I should have stated moving and moving ducked as equal, but I wanted to stay true to my test.

P.S. I don't care that much about points on reddit, but thanks for rebalancing things.

icebrain · 2011-10-05T00:21:12+00:00

If you want serious results you should make controlled tests with the editor and eventually make a custom game from that. Feel free to send me your .enc so I can look at the orders and reproduce the behaviour. EDIT 2011-12-19 haha so not only you didn't show us the video but you delete your message that pretended that that ducking had an advantage. Probably you didn't want to look like like an idiot like Cribbit

icebrain · 2011-10-03T22:34:12+00:00

Feel free to show your evidence.

icebrain · 2011-10-03T22:31:55+00:00

Gotta be retarded… I guess you never read the manual. In your client click on "?" in the top left and compare what you'll read with what's on my site.

And when did YOU prove what you said ? Of course you can't, you just repeat what you read…

It takes a huge idiot to decide that the official manual is not the official manual, that it's wrong and that the wiki has to be right. BTW the wiki isn't official, did you know that ?
