[UPDATED: 2014-04-22] - Playtest reviews - Build 64624

I like numbers and stats so would love a list of the number changes similar to raevn's patch updates. I know it's a lot of work but it really is what makes these experimental test experimental.

I would also love to see more numbers from uber too. Meta told is some a week or so ago and was a real nice touch.

Hard to say how the balance will work. 50% on factories and more expensive units may switch bring back heavier t1 play. But if grenadiers out range turrets then the game becomes an apm fest. So many fine lines to get a good balance.

FW1 Forum War 1

I can't wait for the release of this build!!

Galactic War 1.

I don't see why we have to have a single source of information for every single thing.

Competition drives progress, and also prevents cliques from forming in that you always have different portals providing their own take on the content.

I don't see any treading of toes, unless you want there to be. It's like complaining PC Gamer and IGN covered the same topic, but used different people to write it. Well, yeah.

Also sorry for bringing up IGN, I know it sucks.

Difference here is PCG and IGN are both companies that profit from their custom... whereas the forum, doesn't.

Single source of information - it doesn't have to be a single source. It can be a collaboration, in one presentation (I'll point out that that's how the Vanguard approached Uber about the formation of the Vanguard).

Competition in this instance leads to duplicate threads, on the same day, at the same time.

Which is the norm for any gaming forum, of which I'm a current member on at least three.

The point of moderation is to consolidate all separate reviews into a stickied thread. I'm sure that's not a lot of effort for someone to do, even if a mod just stickies such a thread that a community member decides to make.

Thanks for the update Martenus, happy to have it and some great pictures. Will be really interesting to see if the new anchor changes orbital invasions.

Are you sure the anchors shoot at orbital units? In the last tests, they were only shooting at the ground. I didn't see them shooting at orbital in this build.

Correct

But wouldn't it save a lot of time and effort on the part of the moderators if the parties did that consolidation before presentation, rather than afterwards!

Hey guys, finally got to reply to you all.

We count with your videos, the video/tutorial section has not yet been launched, that is why you do not see them live on our website. Once the video section is live, you will or anyone else, be able to post your videos on our website.

Number changes are quite difficult to get from playtests as you need to find the exact moment someone mouseovers the building, unit etc. And you never can get all changes this way, the only way how to get exact numbers of all units is to have your hands on the build, which is not easy either.

It is closer than you may expect

I believe they remain the orbital defensive structure and shoot both orbital units and the ground.

I don't have a problem with consolidating my review with someone else's thread on the forums. The main goal of my review (and it will probably not be only me in future, but anyone from eXodus) is that this content will be present on our website. So I don't really care about the forums here and if you all guys would prefer a consolidated topic instead of two I think we can somehow manage that. I would however prefer a third-party consolidator:
All reviewers post their review to this guy, he consolidates it and publish it. This way it really remains a neutral post and a proper consolidation of all reviews.

And I'm happy with that mature approach. I apologise for being overly pushy in this thread.

Does it really matter?

Do it first or do it different.

Yeh, I can't see why the two parties can't co-operate in regards to this sort of thing.

Guys, guys guys, you both win, you both get your chocolate medal.

From what I understand, units will automatically stay at the maximal possible range that they can fire from, to avoid getting destroyed by turrets etc. this would help, no?

Or stop willy waving and start cooperating? Thus fostering a more positive attitude to the whole thing.

P.s I thought your recap was very informative and detailed, but don't really see the need for duplicate recaps. I understand you need to write a separate one if you want to post it on eXodus, but why not just collaborate with Brian and save time for both of you?
