Some feedback from me: Why not address many of the open and still reproducable issues in your issue tracker?

I don't understand you guys...you're actively soliciting feedback on and fixing some other minor things meanwhile you've got major issues that numerous people have reported [1], that are in some instances blocking people from being able to play the game. Bro, do you even priorities?

[1] PA#4068

There is a mod where you can get the user tag number down.

While there is a mod to do that it should not be a hard thing to fix. Same with PA#4081

Fixing that is as simple as making their internal curl call use gzip (we have verified that ubernet does support it. On linux SXX was able to just create a patched curl library and it worked, in general it was possible to mod it in to use jquery ajax with gzip directly from js as well, circumventing curl. Making curl use gzip is as simple as adding one parameter to the call) and it would have a really great effect on people with not that fast internet and save a lot of bandwidth for uber as well.

These are quite bad issues with quite easy fixes that have been around for ages. The modder who fixed the second one got annoyed that Uber did not act and removed his mod for it as well.
There definitely are a bunch of "easy to fix" things that Uber could do that we have been waiting for since ages.

On my personal list far up is for example the broken selection of combat units vs engineers units where it selects the unit type that has more units within the selection box, so the player would need to count the units before selecting to know what he is gonna select.

Getting the community to have a feel of "Uber is listening to us closely" is mostly a matter of getting to know what small things like these most people have on their mind, based on talk in the forums. It's not easy to do obviously.

@jables has greatly improved it already though, the example issues all are around since longer than he is with uber. He might never have seen them so far, being busy with processing feedback for current PTE features in a quite awesome way.

Personally I think there is a real risk in pandering to the wants of this forum community vs addressing the wider playerbase concerns. Since the loudest voices in this small forum community are the competitive multiplayer folks we're almost guaranteed never to see significant balance changes (all those 100hr+ competitive players would freak - so much time invested in to learning the current metas) or any focus on a single player game, etc.

Meanwhile, as this small community shouts about how fantastic Uber is, the steam player stats for PA are at an all-time low (while Forged Alliance has gained over the same period...fancy that) and sales are completely down the drain.

PA was selling well initially and yet the playerbase now is a miniscule fraction of that - to me it seems like people dropped off from PA much much faster than most other games. My advice to Uber: Focus on understanding why those people aren't enjoying PA and fix that (and a hint - you won't learn why here on the forums).

I am pretty sure no one on the forums would tell you that they think the balance is 100% perfect. We also don't scream that uber is perfect all the time. When the communication was on a low point (after release) almost everybody was concerned and not happy about it. Uber also sometimes does things the forums doesn't want because uber thinks the larger playerbase doesn't share this opinion. ( For example that most casual players would prefer t2 as an upgrade over specialisation )

That was helpful for metal but how about start spots? I re-created Fields of Isis from supcom and it looks awesome but I cant adjust the spawn spots
