Use the role customization menu and select the wrench Development Role. This unlocks the entire Development channel category, which becomes visible immediately. Before posting, check the pinned messages. They contain guidelines that answer the most common questions and keep discussions organized.
Bug reports belong in the dedicated bug channel. Suggestions have their own channel. Development discussion covers unit balance, engine changes, and roadmap items. Each channel has pins worth reading before you post.
The BAR replay website at beyondallreason.info/replays lets you browse past matches and watch replays without downloading files. You can follow specific players, sort by rating type, and watch games that finished minutes ago or months ago. Spectating replays is one of the best ways to learn positioning and economy management from players at your rating level and above.
When watching live games as a spectator, keep chat focused on the match. Commentary helps other viewers understand build choices and tactical decisions. Avoid revealing your own team position to players who might also be spectating.
Clean information, clean execution, and low-drama learning habits help teams improve without pointless blame.
