Sadness
Auto-translated
I wrote about tournament games precisely because in fan matches you can simply refuse to play with someone who "doesn't suit" you, including the fact that they don't want to use a new mod. And as for everyone having to be on equal footing — correct. But when one of the players stubbornly refuses to keep up with the times, something needs to be done about it imho.
And what can you do about it? Recently (and I even made a poll for this!) I was trying to convince Bara to add support for all previous versions so that features wouldn't be disabled. More accurately, I suggested some kind of path. A path was proposed; it is described above. I believe that official HD 2.96-98 should be used for all tournaments (they do not differ in functionality). Other versions must be excluded, and that's all. Moreover, everyone must use it, and those who simply cannot — either let them not play, or let them sign off that they will have no complaints regarding the opponent's advantages. This can be monitored via the F2 functionality (read the description). Just like with text-modders, you can "spot" them, but determining it exactly is almost impossible. And yes, tournaments and so on... whose damn problem is it?! Isn't it the tournament organizers'?
Baratorch does what he loves, what he likes, while players greedy for features try to poke him with a stick or talk him into "coming along with them." Truly unbelievable!

Thus, the idea of widespread use of the replayable Quick-combat in SoD online can be considered officially buried. Congratulations to all interested parties.

Question for reasonable opponents. How would you evaluate the relative weight of such a terrible gimmick as one-sided Quick-combat? To what extent does it increase a player's chances against an equal opponent using this cheat? Roughly. 55 to 45? 65 to 35?
