To keep on with the IG ideas, I agree that gm should not cost more from HQ since they are indeed weak before upgrades. I find the longer reinforce time a good idea (actually it is something that has been changed several times in vanilla iirc to balance them). Some additional propositions: - Increas...

http://www.grammarly.com please!

My 2cents about IG: Free Stuff = OP Stuff. Agree? GM 2for1 reinforce is Free Stuff because the Sergeant costs 85/0 when he comes with 2 more GM worth 35/0 each. So effectively the Sergeant model is 15/0 and the 2for1 is 0/0! Combined with GM 20hp/s repair makes the GM+Chimera combo too strong and im...

If you think about it he's the only logical choice, he might be a retard but he's a retard with a method, the rest of you live off of guesswork and pretending skill means something.

If you want attention this badly, get a dog.

What are the overall win rates per faction and what is the sample size? That would be important to know.

The stats as laid out don't tell us much because, for example, SM could have had the majority of their games exceed 20 minutes which would probably make their win rate >50%.

Standardising red might not be a perfect idea, but at least it is an approach backed by some reason. How is red decided now? An educated guess by whoever is the mod at the time. 5 different players will come up with 5 different numbers! How is that a sound approach to the problem? Regarding micro, t...

Who put me in the poll? I don't want the job. The power would go to my head, I'd implement some of my ideas unilaterally, break the game, suffer a mutiny and be thrown overboard. Boss, please please please go to Grammarly.com and install it. It fixes all your spelling and punctuation errors! You hav...

1. Boss insults people unnecessarily and would cause too much aggravation. He'd be helpful in an advisory capacity but for god's sake don't give him the keys. 2. His suggestions aren't a proper changelog since there are no specifics. IGNORE THIS. NOT RELEVANT. 3. I also complained vociferously about...

Can all this surplus/deficit be avoided with a fixed 2.55 upkeep/pop for all units?

I feel my argument hasn’t been understood for whatever reason, here is my attempt to clarify. Let me know if I’ve not understood something you wrote Impregnable; I don’t play any more and am not really that interested in this subject to read everything twice. Do you think that I only want to standar...

My lawyer will be releasing a statement shortly.

Update:

No comment. I'm not getting involved in this again.

It makes sense to me that the red gained from killing units is proportional to the strength of the unit killed. Relic probably intended this to be the case since many of the red values are higher for stronger units than for weaker units. It's not even an important issue unless red is related to XP. ...

Units are only OP/UP in relation to other units.

If they weren't, then Wraithlords are always OK because "weak Eldar T3" or some other bad reason.

Is WL Shuriken upgrade really only 0.5 fotm? Every other Walker weapon is 1.0 fotm btw.

My suggestions would be : - Remove Ol' Unreliable from Catachans. Rework them as only an anti melee unit. - Lower the cost of Catachans. - Increase Spotters cost, should be at least 40 power for that they can do. - Or, just make Mortar and Smoke Shells share the same cooldown, so they won't perform...

Great post. My only criticism is that the phrase "the higher upkeep of the Vindicare and GK Librarian" isn't strictly true since they are subcommanders and these have a lower than average pop value for whatever reason. Both have less upkeep than Tacs and many other T1 units which they are ...

Ahh but Atlas, EVERYTHING can be assigned a cost as I had shown in the thought experiment involving proAI playing infinite games. ... e.g. If you agree with the principle of "better units cost more" or "better models cost more" then you have a hard time explaining why an Interce...

Don't think squad price that hard to do and your hardly the one to talk about theory shit atlas you made up "standardized upkeep" to fit your ideas shame that got blown up :lol: if you just use some comon sense squad price not that hard to do but then again comon sense elite mod wtf is th...

And no, squad pricing is only easy from the literal point of view. You keep engaging in this reductionist theory of boiling it all down to a req and power cost but there's just no compelling reason to do so or even believe that non-cost attributes can even be assigned a fixed cost. Ahh but Atlas, E...

Salt free here. I just like contributing balance ideas, can't help myself. Die-last: a. looks ridiculous when a squad leader tanks damage and distributes it evenly to other models b. only exists because of Flesh Hook c. is an advantage for factions that use squad leaders d. is an inconsistency in th...

Die-last is a bullshit mechanic and only exists because of Flesh Hook apparently. The solution is this: a. nerf Fleshhook so that it can't be (overly) abused or exploited vs squad leaders. maybe range 30 so that range 40 detection units can detect the LA before being flesh hooked. b. give LA more hp...

It's not exactly 1:1 cost symmetry as some exceptions can be made for some units. This is, imo, the easiest method to obtain reasonable unit costs and avoid units being OP or UP. It works for units, squad leaders, upgrades and wargear and anything else I've forgotten to mention. The other alternativ...

PaladinSquad you should play some 3v3s vs OM T3.

May I ask the OP why they think Purgs are OP? I didn't really see an argument either way so much as a readout of the Purgation Squad's attributes. Or is this simply a more literal question that is looking for feedback? My approach would be this: a. make a direct comparison to similar units in anoth...

Patch Notes: Purgation Squad: Squad no longer captures 50% faster than normal. Squad no longer wields Nemesis Halberds and Storm Bolters in addition to a heavy weapon. Squad now is equipped with 3 Incinerators or Psycannons. Incinerator courage damage reduced from 25 to 20. Psilencers damage per hit...

I was being sarcastic with the " 2 x CSM builds DESTROYED by an extra 9.45 req/minute upkeep confirmed." and the "Warp Spiders USELESS after MASSIVE 2.56 req/minute upkeep increase."

Patch 2.8: Chaos Space Marine Squad: Upkeep cost increased from 1.92 to 2.55. Pop is 15 so upkeep was 15 x 1.92 = 28.8 req/minute Now 15 x 2.55 = 38.25 req/minute Clickbait: 2 x CSM builds DESTROYED by an extra 9.45 req/minute upkeep confirmed. None of this even considers the free upkeep on the firs...

Not only are your posts poorly thought out and heavily salted, they read like shit too.

Use it.

Don't credit Atlas with the idea of upkeep standardisation because that was my idea. I've tried to explain it but you refuse to even try to understand so I give up.

Tyvm Impregnable, I don't have the energy to type about this stuff anymore. I think better explanation is along the line of let us not use upkeep as a balance tool because it is not a reliable mechanic to use for balancing. There are several tools that can be used for balancing from unit stats, rein...

Just great thinking that you can somehow standardize stuff in warhammer Q. If you have two units which are identical, with identical purchase costs, how do you set upkeep so that the cost of both of them, in terms of purchase cost + upkeep, remains identical at all times? ...some units had less upk...

What is the difference between ASM and Raptors? One jumps, does KB and then does damage to infantry. The other jumps, suppresses and then does damage to infantry. What am I missing?
