Next up is the lack of content and room for creativity. I really wanted to like DoW3, but that basically sums it up for me. In DoW2, even when not playing, I sometimes think about a cool strategy. I think about how I could utelize a piece of wargear. I look at the Rangers Powersword and try to bash...

Just watched that clip. God are we in 2017 or what, because those graphics looks so dated, the animations are so bloody basic. Disgusted! Just play the bloody game first. I agree to a point, but on the other hand it's really annoying to be told that you can't say anything about the game. I would lo...

I didn't consider that; I tend to prefer the designed look sets come with (designing 1,000,000 mix and match sets to combine in aesthetically-pleasing ways is, imo, impossible) but definitely a good point. Better than TF2 regardless. Oh, and sorry for going offtopic here, but I have to defend Dota2...

Yeah, I mainly meant directional cover. Units can get absoluty destroyed if they are out of position. To be fair, I am also thinking about CoH2 here. I really liked the Truesight system. I looks like that is in DoW3, but doesn't play a big role because there are no buildings on the map?` And yes, fl...

Ow, that gameplay doesn't look good. I can just hope its because of bad players. Even then I can't really imagine how it's going to work, without cover and flanking. Artstyle doesn't bother me that much, but I obviously prefered the darker grittier, more... individual (every unit in a squad is it's ...

I would rather expect a Elite mod for DoW3 than a lot of change for DoW2 Elite.

Depending on how good the DoW3 mulitplayer balancing is.

Copyed from another post: Make sure to also read this from the Codex https://dawnofwar.info/codex.php?page=elite/stat_glossary ^^. It explains mechanics. Here are some general CoH --> DoW tipps: Melee. - Melee does BONUS damage to retreating units. -You can force your rangedunits to enter melee by d...

I understand where you are coming from, in some random 3v3s you really get the worst people (though no one of them I have ever seen in this forum). I agree with some others here that the best option is to play 1v1s. Reasons being: 1. It's way easyer to get a beginner 1v1 going then a beginner 3v3, b...

Consider also the detection-problem for the LA or KN matchups. Id say Keep them leaders T1, maybe for a higher power-cost? Actually those leaders are there to shift detection away from rangers-only! if they have +5 power cost youd atleast have a Chance to tech faster against the eldar, if he feels ...

Since when does anyone associate starcraft with accessible?

My biggest fear right now is the cover.

I guess the current cover system doesn't work with huge armys..., but it was one of the main features of Dow2 and CoH1/2. (Cover created by artillery changes the whole dynamic towards the end of a game.)

We could just remove the Pistol of the Farseer, maybe give her a Spear starting weapon (and thena a not fire on the move Rangedattack that is stronger than the one right now?).

2,5 dps is just weird. (And I think it might screw with stealht, so no damage at all migth be better.)

[...] Why not have banshees be a soft counter to csm and sm, just drop their price and get 2 its going to be fine dont worry brah. [...] Sure, lets try it. I think it might work nicely. (Oops, this thread was pretty old...). So, how does everyone feel about Tics now? :D Are Chaosplayers going for n...

Servant's summary is correct, but I just added this in today even though the toggle has been on the site for some time now. One caveat not mentioned though: changing this option on the site is not immediate, it takes atleast an hour to avoid abuse. If you choose "only ranked if I do write rank...

That explains a lot. Thanks for answer. So if I get it right, when I run reporter each game that I play will count in ladder unless me or my opponent type in 'unranked'? Exactly. The same happens if only your opponent runs it. In addition to that, as Servant said, you can go to the esl site, and if...

Hi, it was changed, so that the standart is that the games will be recorded aslong as one player has the Reporter running, wether or not anyone writes ranked. If you don't want the game ranked, you have to write "unranked" at the start of the game (first minute). When one person writes tha...

Maybe he did mean a different mod.

btw, in elite matchmaking, wich ranking is used to find games, the Relic one ? or the ELITE one ? The relic one, which is still bugged out I think, so it doesn't match with a skill rating at all. And because of the low amount of players using the matchmaking, you basically get a game against whoeve...

It was bad enough when I lost capping squads to infiltrated scout nades, it's even worse now when I lose a Fireprism to that :D I am not saying it's OP, and I was very happy when I first read about it, and I play Eldar, so I also profit somewhat. (Maybe I should try 2 Warpspiders + 3 Direavengers :D...

Well that is where the Eldar army scheme comes in. Their effectiveness partly comes from unit-synergy. The units you mentioned all have their perks built-in and it is justified that their weapons do not have the same stats as Fire Dragons. For example, if STs did not have their melta bomb, their we...

Personally I would like it to be balanced by shorter spawn times/not as long run times to the front from the spawn for the Orks. But in the end, you still have to make it fun for the Orks (and I don't think group buffs are a good way either). I mean I would rather make it so you can spawn near a big...

Thaks, I'll try the light T1 and the tips in my next game to see how it goes. Defensive play has being an habit of mine for a long time, it comes from COH 1 but DOW 2 is a more agressive game so I'll need to get use to it. Besides that, I have nothing more to say, thanks a lot. Any other advice or ...

arg, if stats are wrong, then my bad ^^ Yeah you really can't count on the stats, especially the Ork stats :D For example, look at the Faction popularity. At first there was only one pie chart, the total picks. But as you can see if you compare it with the Main Factions, it was highly missrepresent...

A bit offtopic, but I don't want to make a Thread for this.^^ In the recent Adila vs Tex game from Indrid, we could see very nicely how detrimantal friendlyfire of Artillery can be. Adila had 2 Fireprisms, and had them most of the time in focused blast mode, even though Tex never had a single vehicl...

I agree. Their shooting sounds so weak and whimsical. I am always suprised how quickly I lose models when they shoot at me.^^

Yeah, it's not perfect.^^ I like the Idea that it is on ranked even if you don't write anything as a standart. But I feel you should not show up in the list with your Steamname untill you link the forum to it. And if you do that, it should be reset. It's good to gather more data, but if we keep it s...

wait, if only one people have the ESL thingy turned on, the game is reported ? In general yes, you would have to write "unranked" for it to be unranked. If you have the Reporter running yourself, you can also set the default to unranked, so it only ranks when you write "ranked"....

What UI problems? As for balance, surely balance could be tweaked. Using the abilities and art assets as a base would be a good approach, if that's not already done of course! Adding new armies to the game isn't possible at the moment unless you add them via a hero, and if Cael's intention is to ma...

Nice way to say l2p. I'm sorry if it sounds like I am saying Learn To Play, I wasn't intending to. My hope was that folks could start to see the full compliment of a units capacity and function, and then be able to utilize that full set of tools to play. This is true of very new players, who might ...

Still feel like the snipers are the most dumbest design choice in a game solely revolved on unit preservation and them being available to 2 races only. Everything balancewise aside, this makes not much sense :D Sniper's do not threaten unit preservation, because they have absolutly no wipe potentia...
