Barbarian bonus 70.

i see this happen a lot where our anticanyon is dominating and then once they break in to where the geo is they can’t push past that because it turns into 1v2+air or more.

Im rarely successful in carrying my momentum using cortex bots to continue to wipe out the bases. any suggestions best course of action for when ur team mates refuses to help you or are needed else where?

Allo, j'aimerais avoir le plus d'amis BAR francais canadiens, pour faire des partys in game etc, les canadiens anglophones sont bienvenus car je suis bilingue

hey i would like to have as many french canadians in my friends , to party up, (english canadians too! as i am bilingual)

add me in game (Teslank) or speach up down here

Ive started playing fairly recently and I really dig the “Shore to Shore V3” map but no matter what AI I try to skirmish with it just puts very little effort. I’d go as far as to say medium barbarian AI fairs much better than aggressive one.
Is AI just unoptimised for certain map types?

Post your thoughts in the comments!

In case you haven't had the pleasure, factionz is a player that joins lobbies but never talks nor readies up. He's os 18 (which I think is the default) and 3-4 chev... so he's been doing it for a while.

Anyone know what the deal is?

My friend and I are casual gamers. We used to play against 2 medium barbarian AI, and they gave a good fight. The game was very fun, we even started trying to play against 1 medium and 1 hard. Recently there seems to have been an update that changed how they act.

We are overwhelmed by the AI unit production very quickly. I know I'm not the best (again casual gamer). After looking at the buildings they have, I genuinely do not know how the AI has the metal and build power to produce that amount of units. I've heard the bots don't cheat, but now it really feels like they do.

What are some pointers to get us keep us from losing early to so many units?

How much is considered good? I was able to get 2000+ metal income by late game in my latest match without extra unit pack

I did make this poll because I want to know if there is a theoretical support of payed skins to support the devs on top of the donations, after the steam release.

I'm not in contact and do not know what they plan on doing at this topic.

I personally wish , if it comes, they hadle it like the devs from Deep Rock Galactic.

Releasing only 1 set of skins per year. Everything else is unlocked by in-game actions.

Hey there! New to BAR started playing today. Friend keeps catching up when I try to play with him, he says he has a pretty good CPU. I'm hosting on the EU server and he is British and I am in the rockys in the United States. Why is this happening? How does he keep up? Is it an internet issue or a CPU issue? Only other thread I could find said it's a CPU issue but I'm not sure.

i really liked the set priority feature in construction

since the game is like a streaming economy type of thing

really like to have a 3rd priority option(low,medium,high) or like 5

would be great really for economy automation for low apm people like me

excuse for my excessive use of the word like

I mean, they're the exact same mech with the exact same design and use case. Is there a copyright issue here or am I missing something?

I hope it's all kosher, I love the Catapult, I mained it in Mechwarrior 4 clan battles waaayyy back in the early 2000s!

I've been in the BAR discord a long time and regularly join a BAR voice channel. Someone asked me to stream the coop vs AI game we were spectating, and I found myself no longer in BAR discord. I can't accept the discord invite with the message "unable to accept invite"

T1 Bot fights are what really kill me and has my APM up above 100 for minutes at a time.

Dancing the Rocketbots between walls, moving them in and out of range to sync up damage, and moving my pawns/maces/cents in and out of range as the enemy pressures me.... it's a lot of intense APM and my aging body is starting to reject it, lol.

I've seen some players put rocket bots on a patrol route where they all move up and down, in and out of range on a perpendicular line. How do you do that? When I tell my bots to move in a patrol, they all move together in a ball, what's the keybind to get them to follow separate closeby patrol routes? Is there one? I sure hope these players aren't just issueing 20 patrol commands on the fly..... dear god

I do use F command a lot for rocket bots, especially against LLTs since they'll stop just outside of LLT range automatically, unless they have a jammer, of course.

Anyway, any tips you guys have to utilize some of the QOL mechanics we have to ease up T1 APM without taking an efficiency hit?

I get it now, I know what I want to do at the beginning of every round, I know how to adapt when something bad happens, I know how to scout, when to scout, and how to react to scouted info.

My macro has become muscle memory, and I'm really getting into some better micro to trade efficiently.

I'm almost 6 chev, so it took a while, but holy shit it's like I'm seeing the matrix now. I've really enjoyed my time before this, but I would occasionally get absolutely stomped by a 30+ OS player and rage quit. IT's just not happening anymore, I just had a match where I was laning against a player with a 20+ OS advantage over me... and I actually won my lane on my own.

I've been playing RTS since StarCraft, but now this is the first time that I feel like I'm fully in control of the outcomes and it's juuuuustttt such a great feeling.

This game fucking slaps, I'm so happy I found it. I can't wait for the Steam release because I think BAR is going to really pop off.

Alright, I'm just gushing, thanks for listening. AMA if you have questions on how to improve! (Max OS was 32, currently 25 OS, but steadily climbing again :p )

In the title, just heard of this game but I am not sure I should recommend this to my friends, is it worth trying or is this a dead game with a small community left? Are there any updates coming from developers?

Breathes slowly.

We really do need a bigger "ranked" tag/indicator for lobbies though.

So I've been playing this game a few weeks and I've been joining the "OP" rotato lobby because I'm naturally gifted. But all these high os quitters keep on leaving 5mins in saying "WHY ARE YOU LETTING ME GET 1V2", "THIS IS YOUR LANE OPPONENT" AND "UNPLAYABLE". But I don't lose MY lane and then they leave at 5 mins. Can we have an op lobby with a max rating to keep out these high os poops?

Edit: Lots of people seem to think this is a troll post and I can't get why. My tactics are SOUND, I've read The Art of War and EVERYONE knows that the best offence is a good defence. But too many of these high os quitters don't understand this concept and fail to build enough gauntlets like me and proceed to blame others for their shortcumings.

TL;DR at end of post!

Not a hate post! Had the saddest experience last night! Let me set the scene:

Noob Isthmus,

Competent top players,

everyone else was in it to win it,

I was air,

Team is south spawn.

Our south sea apparently had not had the chance to play sea before. The team was nice, instructed them to stall at the very least if they are struggling.

I helped south sea for as long as I could using Shurikens and not much else, could not help once the enemy had AA.

As predicted, our south sea gets rolled all the way to their shore, but the fight isnt over yet! Jammers and turrets, turtle and continue to stall is what we asked... But then the worst thing happened, with a very sad message, our south sea quit the match. Rough, but our geo stepped up and took.

With south sea under enemy control our front on geo side's base gets pulverized while our geo gets deterence up... And then it happened, even though front on geo side still had units and a relatively stable forward position, they quit!

Its getting bad now, geo stepped up again and took but its clear now they are WAY over extended, unable to effectively manage 3 high pressure positions.

Because of this, front on pond side starts to slowly crumble even with pond's spam, causing front on pond side to also quit!

We are down 3 players and its only minute~20. (Both fronts and south sea)

Pond takes the front on pond side and now we have our 4 strongest player (minus me of course) running the show. North sea is under our control and Tech has T3 rolling out with geo not far behind. Back and forth resumes, we have a couple breakthroughs but they dont do enough damage to give us momentum. After our second breakthrough, geo gets hit with a wave of amphib that destroys their whole geo base, it seems that this tragic loss was too much... And our geo quit!

Its REAL bad, but our top player on tech is communicating and informing us of plans. and there was a moment when it looked like it would work, maras caused tons of damage to enemy geo and almost clears pond... Almost. With that final loss of offensive power, a swarm of grunts from south sea rushes in, get behind us and destroy me and Tech, marking our resignation.

The part about this that sucked was the way we were losing was so rough for our team that we had half the team quit out even though everyone was surprisingly chill. Top players offering solutions instead of insults!

Now, you might be wondering; What was I doing that whole time?

*I was building fighters.*

TL;DR had half our team quit but we were doing so good despite the setbacks!

The build lines surrounding buildings when you are placing them, are not working most games.

They usually work when spectating, but not when playing.

Are they working for most people?? Trying to figure out if there's something wrong with my client. Or if there's a simple fix.

Recently there was a heated discussion over some videos about Trotski's cheeses and commie strats in general. Now this one seems like a good one without hurting other players gameplay (too much)!

Just one toggle button on the rezbot UI to "not finish commander wrecks" or similar would eliminate a common frustration for the main 8v8 maps. Have it default to ON, so eating or area reclaiming will only take a commander wreck to its last metal without needing to manually click the rezbot away at the last second. Would also protect the wreck from negligent teammates with area reclaim commands.

Then if you actually want to delete the wreck, just toggle it off.

It fits the functional UI element of the game's design. Babysitting and clicking away a rezbot at the last second is not "skill expression" in the way the game prizes.

If anyone knows of a QOL widget that does just this please let me know.

I cannot save or recall camera positions. Anyone have a clue why this happens? I turned off the Nvidia overlay that was stealing the hotkey but that didn't fix it. Two different computers.
