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

    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?

    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'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.

    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".
