Does anyone know what affects the outcome of “The Ethiopian Question” event? When you can choose to either try and puppet them, guarantee them, or do nothing. I am most interested in the puppet option, can I do something to increase the chance of them agreeing?

Just and FYI for all the SteelSeries hardware users. It kills a significant chunk of FPS, and is generally unstable. Constantly switching audio devices and freezing up. Avoid it like a plague, and let's hope that maybe one day they will be able make it usable, as there are some actually cool and useful features in there, hidden under all that other crap.

Hi, I have a colleague at work, and I am his Secret Santa this year. He has never celebrated Christmas before, and he was happy to participate in Secret Santa this year. He is from Afghanistan as you may have already guessed, and he has been living in Europe for quite a few years now. I know that he loves cricket, and I was thinking of getting him an Afghanistan cricket shirt, not official one since it's a little over the Secret Santa gift budget limit this year but a knock off that would represent his love for both Afghanistan and cricket.

​

So, I am just wondering what other good gift ideas you may have, and what would make an afghan person really happy,

Quality of games has plummeted drastically lately. Probably due to the arcana and Dota 2 plus giveaways. With 10k behaviour score you get 1 decent game out of 5. If you are really lucky maybe 2 out of 5. Smurfs, toxic people, and griefers are running amok. I remember when we had a battle pass only matchmaking and the games were a lot better then. Of course, it wouldn't work now due to everyone getting it for free, and that's why I would love to see paywalled ranked matchmaking separate from the free one, that would hopefully improve the absolutely disastrous state that regular ranked games are in now.

Of course, if Valve somehow manages to improve it in a different way, I wou

Please let us see the list of enemy planets during a war at least in the partially occupied systems. And let us sort them by garisson size, so we know which planets to prioritize for bombardment. Currenttly it is such a hassle to go trough all the systems and click on each to planet to know what you are facing. Being able to set armies on aggresive stance sure helps, but I don’t like the fact that they follow fleets randomly and merge on their own from time to time on planets.

Also please change how sector capitals look when occupied, maybe I am blind but It is so hard to see the difference between occupied and unoccupied systems.

I feel like it would really cool if you could choose your main species portrait as a portrait for your robots after you research Synthetics tech. I feel like that would make quite a lot of sense for them to be so advanced that they are indistinguishable from organics.

Is anyone else not able to queue for matchmaking at this time?

I am getting conflicting information about the main event of Stockholm major. Some places it says that arena opens for public at 10:00 every day, on the tickets it says that it opens at 16:00, friday; 11:00 saturday and sunday. Is there anyone who can clarify it for me?

I would like to ask you all to check and report your teammates, even after you win a game with them. I am talking about smurfs, boosters and account buyers of course. Just because they carried you into a win, doesn’t excuse them from ruining matchmaking. It’s not that hard to see the signs on their profile or even ask them during the game. I am not asking to flame them during the game because it doesn’t help anyone. Let’s all try to improve our community and matchmaking experience.
