Re: 2.9.9 Patch Notes and Download Links

thanks for the patch! Eldar (and Space Marines later) were very contentious points of discussion both in public and internally. Opinions are very passionate about these factions (and usually against each other) but nonetheless we iron out some of the rougher spots on this roster. yeah this feud has ...

Re: Eldar Tier1 Are Weak

didn't play for some years so no idea about current balance, but I hear often nowadays that eldar T3 is weak. Which would be a pitty, it's not fun to feel forced to close the game in T2, long games and comebacks are fun, it would be a shame if they are disincentivized for eldar. It kind of miss the ...

Re: Patch 2.9.5.1 Hotfix Released !

The spirit stone nerf was towards team games only because the heal is that strong on something like an sm ally, this change allows us to not touch the 1v1 scenario of this upgrade. Most things are getting discussed in the Discord now, you can ask me or any Dev member there why certain things happen...

Re: Patch 2.9.5.1 Hotfix Released !

Thanks to the continued efforts and support. There are some new drastic changes for a hotfix though, it would be interesting to have the thoughts behind each patch. For example -50% on spirit stones heal for teammates is huge, is there such a consensus about them being too strong in team games? Why?...

Re: 2.9 Balance List as of 10/28/18

thanks a lot for the continued support! quick concerns: Lowering damage per hit for the fire prism, even at constant dps, feels like an important nerf. The fire prism (in my not-pro experience) brings a lot as a finisher, landing the last hit on an escaping vehicle. As no one pointed out any issue a...

I really struggle to see when to use them, either in 1v1 or teams. On paper they are still really scary but they fall so fast I always feel it's a gamble. So when do people buy them, against what? Walkers, tanks? Are warp spiders mandatory to make them work? Is it a question of the opponent composit...

Re: Banshees Melee Skill too high?

blablabla double shees Well you can play 2x shees with WL, channeling runes in t1 then CoS in t2. It works vs nids for example, you can try it against SM (not FC). Also WSE with mass teleport loves several shees, though that's more of a teamgames' strategy. I love 2shees+CoS in 3v3 wide maps but I'...

Re: The Issue with Eldar

Looks like I poked a Hornet's Nest. Talking of buffing FP/D-cannon/Avatar was never really my point, but can we all agree that Dark Reapers getting a tune-up and being moved to T3 is an option to consider , at least? P.s. But if shees lose, say, their power blades, the whole eldar composition colla...

before I develop some thoughts on particular units, I would like to verify if the concept seems legit for enough people instead of justifying it in another thread.

Re: Why is SM so strong in 3v3? - Analysis

well if people find it meh in 1v1, I'm not for nerfing the WW per se, any nerf to its KB should be compensated so it's more useful in 1v1, maybe just more damage, or less spread out impact.

@OP First 3v3 videos can be misleading. Impregnable explained in the other thread how small laney maps were favoured, which doesn't help eldar. Beyond that, other factions are more suited to the general lack of communication, while I really think Eldar could shine with highly synchronized teams, the...

Re: Why is SM so strong in 3v3? - Analysis

I think a good compass when changes are discussed is immersion and consistency. One way to tone down a bit the WW is to add friendly fire knock back. It will just feel less silly, even without balance considerations. I can't think of any other knock back that doesn't to friendly fire.

Re: Ranger kinetic shot

I think that them doing such high damage on retreat and frankly such high splash damage in the first place with kinetic pulse is the wrong direction for them and neither are necessary. I'd remove both and either slightly reduce the cost of the pathfinder upgrade or further reduce the CD on kinetic ...

I'm not talking about specific factions here, just in general I feel that the main guns of many battle tanks are too good at sniping secondary commanders in particular... like it shouldn't be their role.

their set-up / de-setup time is being nerfed already. Removing kinetic shot damage on retreat is necessary. Sure it's not a lot, but beyond that let's just see how they softly evolve, they don't seem that broken as to deserve any reckless move. Maybe a small price increase on the pathfinder update, ...
