Grenades are OP, broken and boring.

OP https://dawnofwar.info/elite/weapon.php?wpn=sm_frag_grenade https://dawnofwar.info/elite/weapon.php?wpn=eld_plasma_grenade One grenade at close range inflicts about 260hp, x1.25 vs HInf = 325hp. Is this a joke? Here's some other weapons, per hit. Lascannon vs SHInf: 165dmg SM Plasma Tacs vs HInf...

Re: 2.9.8.4 Public Beta Patch Notes

In my response I'm appealing to the 'Law of Common Sense' which states that everything should make sense unless it absolutely can't be balanced without making nonsense. Remove die-last please. It exists only because of fleshhook being OP vs Squad Leaders. A possible solution is to reduce the range o...

The Map Hack.

Dishonest Russians are using a map hack that allows them to see more of the map than usual.

I want it.

How do I get it?

I also think it should be widely publicised and offered to every player as it's an unfair advantage at present.

Re: Farnir toxic behaviour

He typed 'pathetic' into group chat vs me in a 2v2 today after killing my Painboy with a grenade in retreat. I didn't know if he was making a weird joke at the time, it didn't make much sense except that my performance was indeed pathetic that game.

Scout/Guardian grenades.

Stomp doesn't stun GM, Doombolts don't injure heretics and Destructor does no damage to Eldar models. So why do scout and guardian grenades injure friendly models? It's only fair that they should be able to feet-nade into melee and not have to retreat. or Scout and Guardian grenades do friendly fire...

No die-last experiment

I wanted to find out if removing die-last is a possibility. To do this I need to a. nerf fleshhook and b. reprice the relevant squad leaders. I've got as far as reworking 3 of the SLs so only play SM, Orks, Nids and Chaos pls. Here's what I've done: 1. Reduced FH range to 24. Now, if a unit detects ...

A better way to decide unfinished games?

Let's say Player A and B are playing. Player A drops. What about this idea?: Estimate the win% at the time of the drop, in this case you could estimate Player B was behind with 30% and Player A with 70%. Then randomise a number 1-100. If it's 1-30 then the decision goes to player B, if it's 31-100 t...

Re: Patch 2.9.3 Change log Preview

Having to buy expensive units solely to detect is a weakness in this game imo. I would prefer upgrades to certain units, such as the Sentinel and DA, to provide detection without having to spend 250/25 or 400/40 or whatever the cost is for Rangers or Catachans. It's too restrictive to have to spend ...

Re: Make OM great again.

- GM could be equally balanced in a situation where we removed 2for1 reinforce and a situation where we didn't - I believe this to be false. Let's assume 2for1 saves the IG player 5 req per minute. Firstly, the cost is free, so after 1 minute the IG player is +5 free req, 2 minutes +10 free req and...

Re: Make OM great again.

You might be right. My thinking was that they would be 500/0, therefore about 10% better than Tacs. That might mean Tac dps and MS 70, or Tac dps and 375hp, or something else. I thought SS got owned completely by Banshees in melee so 70MS would prevent this, but they would still lose convincingly du...

Re: Make OM great again.

But GM sarges were legitimately underpowered in retail so your whole argument doesn't even make sense. If one Mars bar costs £1, how much do three Mars bars cost? 2for1 effectively give IG free req over the course of the game. About 8req per 2 GM models reinforced since they would pay 32 for 2 mode...

I've tried more than most but when half the community believes that unit comparisons between factions are invalid, there is no hope.

Re: Make OM great again.

I would try and stick to lore whenever possible and SS being worse than Tacs makes me cringe a little. The starting unit can't be more than 500req if it is to be purchased immediately, so 500req is an upper limit to the T1 unit cost. SS deserve to be 500req imo since the lore states that they are su...
