23: Teams games: Teams should share power at all times (locked)

On #2: Auto sell would be great but even better or having both would be a button to exclude a resource from "strg+shift+down" (sell all). Just a little checkbox and the resource wont sell.

#Shortcuts to jump directly to a players location rather than tab through.

I like this one. Eliminates tediously clicking to sell something down to get to that next HQ. Also makes Terranwarrior happy as an ancillary benefit.

This one makes sense that all the auctions should be the same for everyone playing a daily challenge. I played a daily challenge for the first time yesterday and was amazed that auctions differed. Getting an adrenaline boost auction in one game and not another is HUGE. Everyone should be on the same level playing field if you're competing for the fastest time.

agree

^This. If people see full lobbies of games already in progress they could check the status and know that a game is about to end. It's also encouraging to see that yes other people are playing.

These observers shouldn't be able to comment though to prevent spamming the chat window or generally interfering with the game (Clarke has 2 hidden offworlds next to his base! See ya! *signs out*)

Disagree on this one. At first i liked seeing cash and resources split because then you could hack more effectively but I kind of like the mystery when they're combined. It also makes it way easier to figure out if you have enough money to buy someone out by having it together.

Also don't like the idea that 2 people could patent something. If you miss out on it...tough! Should've done it sooner!

One more thing I'd like to add. Might be difficult to add but it would be nice to see the number of people that are in the queue for a 4 player quickmatch (or even a regular 1v1 quickmatch when/if the paired QM based on rankings gets implemented). It's nice to know you're not all alone out there in the queue.

32: Hologram should always be ingame.   NV will also reveal a Hologrammed building for a period of time (for everyone ingame to see). Always NV or Spies ingame

34 Small Detail: Debt Interest ticks in the first Tutorial(idk why)

35 Opinion: The tutorial pace should go faster imo. It is a bit boring to wait for building to finish or to get the 100 silicon for your solar panel.  

36 Small Detail: I see that you don’t explain the adjacency bonus you can have with building buildings next to eachother if you build your steels/electronic separate from eachother.(It only explains the adjacency bonus if you put the 2 steel or electronics together). (imo you should change the word Adjacency bonus to Production bonus)

37 Small Detail: In Tutorial 2 it says you need to buy 20 electronics to build the Pleasure Dome but recently the Pleasure dome cost has been increased from 20>40.

38 Small Detail: I can still not scroll up the chat ingame

39 Founding Issue: The HQ new names needs a change so you can view the map better. My suggestion is to switch ‘Next HQ found receives:’ with the new Hq names. Also see under

40 Founding Issue: You cannot read the Robot description very well.

41 Scientific bonus: the research bonus isn’t mentioned in the text window. You could rephrase the sentence ‘when targeted.. ..less time’ to: 50% Research bonus. 50%  immunity bonus against blackmarket.

42 Robotic Bonus: on the Scavenger description you aren’t saying that you need carbon instead of steel, which is fine. But on the Robotic side (description) you do mention that they require less aluminum and need electronics instead of glass which probably doesn’t need to be mentioned because the building supplies below it already says   alu/steel/electronics.

43 Robot Description issue: You don’t mention robots pay power instead of fuel with shipments. You should rephrase the sentence ‘Building Receive..  ..input Rescources’ to: Buildings receive a Production bonus if it’s placed next to the raw rescources that it is consuming or next to power.

44 1vs1 Issue: imo there is a power and debt problem in 1vs1. Power gets high really fast and power will go to insane prices if both parties don’t build power the first 2 levels. This results in having a lot of debt early on which can cause you the game really easily.

Suggestion: Now I think you should increase the debt threshold for 1vs1. Increase the amount of debt you can have till you reach D debt for 1vs1. Now when I have 80-90k debt on level 3 I am would be D debt already and would basically be dead. Having it on 120k for D debt might solve a lot of problems with the Power/debt Issue.

45 Feature: you better have Map editor on the Release version!

46 The Patent lab royalty Idea: The Patent lab! That building you use for 5 minutes and delete again because everyone stole the patents you wanted or desperate needed! The Patent lab! Ohh only 5 second till teleportation is completed?! Well too bad our friend Clarke here only needed 2 more seconds to complete his research on teleportation. So I am still in favor for a Royalty system so the patent lab would be used more (and not 2 players go patent lab early and the rest says f it and decide not to build it because they already have the patents) and for longer. (So it’s not a building you scrap after 5 minutes already).

How does this Royalty system work you may ask! Well I’ll explain here under what I think is best.

The ones that acquire the Patents first are the patent holders.

Everyone that wish to have the patent that is already researched by a player will pay  Royalty and they will have extra penalties with them.  See under

First:

-          The player pays a 3% of his income per second. (All Rescources that are gained per second > Market price of thoses Rescourses > Rescources market price together (+ Offworld send  money /60= ??$ add to >) = ??$  > 3% of that is payed to the patent holder > Uses Money first > if no money pays debt money to patentholder).

Example:

             Production         Price

Water    2                        50

Food      4                         120

2*50=100   +    4*120=480   

580*0,03= 17$ a second=2550$ a day

4500$ income per second*0,03=135$ a second= 20250$ a day       (every patent you researched after an other player adds 0,03%)So that itself is also a penalty)(there should be soundeffect if some1 else got the patent first that you were reseaching)(so you have the remaining research time + 30 seconds penalty to think of if it's still worth it to get the patent)

Penalty 1: 30 seconds added research time cost.

Penalty 2: 20 added chems consumed. If you don’t have the 20 chems> pay from your money you are holding otherwise> pay money  from debt.  

oh please god no! you mean i would have to add another layer onto deciding which person is better to buy? wanna see how much someone is making on their PD? hover over it. wanna see how much their farm is making? hover over it. 

want to see how much someone is making from patent royalties? try and calculate it off hand. 

I like your creativity but i would hate this one in practice. This tremendously increases the complexity of both researching patents (placing a future value on them) as well as in buyout determination (is the player with carbon scrubbing making more with his patent than the one with water engine and energy vault? there's no way to know that).

When will B11 be rolled out? 

Sooo.... when should we expect the first expansion pack? 

I am kidding of course, but hopefully some last minute feedback and minor UI requests are ok. 

1. First and foremost the long awaited BM box fix - more often than not the map comes with 9 BM items which means the chat is blocked due to additional row. And even when there are only 8 items, BM auctions are pretty common, so we end up in the same mess. Please fix it! Pretty please!

2. In early betas we could see the wind/elevation levels pre-founding by clicking on solar panel/wind turbine respectively in construction menu. Now that the menu is gone, we have to guess or hover over tiles and that's less than ideal in my opinion. Visual representation of the entire map achievable in a single click was very helpful. 

3. Last but not least - the new sounds. I do understand and fully support the ambition to make the experience as immersive as possible, but OTC is a strategy game before anything else and very fast paced one. The purpose of in-game sounds should be to draw player's attention in the least distracting and intrusive way. I.e. they need to be sharp and short. However, pretty much all of the new sounds are either too long, too distracting or not alerting enough. Or all of the above. Thus they miss the mark completely.

The following is not a full list, but just a couple I encountered in a single game:

- Buying stock: the sound is not alerting at all. It's bad enough when others' stock is being bought and you're not alerted, but when your own stock is being bought, the game should really scream at you, IMO. I know that many weren't fans of the voiceover, but personally, I think it was appropriate.  

- Interest rate: too long and not alerting enough. It's mostly annoying. Like a bug. Sorry.

- Mutiny - way too long and too distracting. 

- Power surge - also too long but not alerting enough. Although it's probably the least 'problematic' of the bunch. I can live with it as is if the rest get some love.

- Adrenalin boost - very dull. Long and not alerting. 

- Patent sounds are mostly distracting. There's not much you can do about them (unlike in AB case, which calls for immediate action) and you can find out who patented what from the UI. 

In a slow paced game with very light use of BM I suppose all of that doesn't matter - it all blends well. But in a typical BM heavy MP match all these noises combined become... too noisy and not nearly as informative as they could and should be. 

And to finish on the positive note, I must say that AI has been improved significantly and for the most parts simulates human-like playstyle very well. Great job, Soren!
