Pants on fire

That seems like a mistake. Just start an 8v8, buy a cortex constructor, build a legion lab. The end. you now have cortex metal income and legion T1.

@@timmietimmins3780 interesting idea

I been spectating quite a few multiplayer matches. Not comfortable enough with my own skill to jump in. Although, to be fair, I've been enjoying watching those games a bit less due to the incessant whining and blaming in most matches. I mean, in a noob friendly match/server it might be okayish during the match, but god forbid you effed it and the team is losing in part because of you. You'll hear all about it, no mercy. Even when people played their own lanes bad. They'll blame you anyway. All that is my impression after spectating several dozen games.

I don't recall getting flamed too much, I mostly just stuck with noob lobbies and sometimes we would talk about what we messed up. The general advice I got when I started was be able to beat the hard ai in 1v1 and you'll probably at least have some grasp of the first 10 minutes of the game. If you've already played all those you'll be able to pick up the fundamentals pretty quickly. I think it only took me a few tries to be able to beat the AI. @Deathadder90 Yeah I think once you start ranking up you start to encounter the people who think they should backseat all their teammates. On the other side it can be quite frustrating to watch your teammate flounder around. I'd just ignore it and if they're real shitty just not play with that asshole anymore.

@HallowedError Is there any kind of system in the game that lets you avoid matching with players you have for example blacklisted, or is it more a matter of leaving if you join a lobby and someone you dont get along with is there already or joins later? Also thank you both for your answers, I appreciate it. I also dont expect the community to be flawless, there will always be people who backseat teammates and scapegoat, so my hope is more that the community is less made up of people like that and more people who are there to have fun. I have no idea what kind of rankings there are, nor what rankings would be generally represented in these vids, but I was surprised by how generally lighthearted these guys have been compared to other strategy games ive seen, which is what lead me to my considerations in the first place. <3

some people are moba-tier douchebags - that prefer typing than playing - but most of the players are open to newbies.

If you've ever played any other team based competitive games you probably have experienced the exact type of toxicity that BAR has. When things go wrong some people just default to finding the closest person to blame. Outside of that as long as you're willing to learn generally people are pretty chill in BAR compared to other games I've played.

or a super AA turret xD

Every constructor got a button on the bottom that says "area mex" when you click that button and then drag click over the ground you expand a circle in which the con will automatically build every extractor

Or you can get area Mex by double clicking the metal extractor of the type you want, which allows you to do exploiters and other things like that.

double click Z

vehs can walk up cliffs

It was a test option some of the devs were considering where anywhere bots could walk tanks could drive with a very large speed debuff when going uphill. In all the games we tried in the test lobby this one was probably the one that felt the most different which was really surprising considering how much of a change that is lol.

do the vehicles actually path the quickest route tho?or just the shortest?

@@bencoad8492 The path the quickest route afaik.

lol, I made my comment without first having seen yours but mine is basically the same gripe. in fact, imo it is a legitimate game strategy when playing against him to try to tilt him and get him to rage quit in order to give your team a better chance to win. I support anyone who does this to rage quitters like him, littleworm, etc. After all, part of any competition is knowing your enemy and defeating them on the battlefield of the mind, and not just the battlefield of the game itself.

1v1, small team, large team, and ffa OS are all separate values that change independently of each other. I've played maybe a few dozen 1v1 games my entire BAR playtime so the number reflects that lol

BAR's official discord channel. They have a page designated for tournaments

i mean ticks can slow expansion down but how much it also depends on you. This game it looks like he was basically not expanding to not loose anything but i see games of BARcast on Yt where he makes the tick player look like an idiot for trying to go for them. Also that is a terrible way to ballance a game. Whenever in a game there is a faction that has some advantages but is requires good decision making, or good positioning, or good micro so its ballance it is only a matter of time before that faction becomes a faction with a lot of upsides and no downsides.

@@SSR2902 I'd argue it's actually better this way, even from a design stand point. Cortex is generally stronger/ the brute force option and armada only comes on top when it can harness it's specific tactical advantages.
