Re: DoW III Beta Sign Up Survey
I got to watch like 10 mins of the video before it went down. It turned me from uncertain to 100% excited. There ARE MOBA elements here, but let's get real for a second: MOBAs are literally direct descendants from the RTS genre. They share game DNA elements. RTS and MOBA will always have varying deg...

Re: DOW III - Orks and Space Marine Multiplayer Gameplay
It really did look like a great mix of DoW2 style capture point play, MOBA lane focus and free-form base building. The SM v Eldar map reminded me of Judgment of Carrion - with three "lanes" to fight push-pull in. The middle has resources, pushing further gets you to the enemy generators, a...

Re: Terminators for sm and chaos from a 1v1 view
I like more regen best. They are indeed hard to justify in 1v1, with a few exceptions. Tex's comment on the teleporting flamers is one, they absolutely demolish some compositions. Not a fan of size change. Being hit by AV weapons is fine in my book. I don't like more speed on ranged termies, but I a...

My 3c? Nids have been overnerfed, but that's ok. Next step is to give them back some potency, in unique niddy ways, without getting them to their former broken state. I think snare should come back, but nids are balanceable without it, though other changes would be needed. I look forward to seeing s...

Re: How random is the random function when selecting race?
I'm having some fun brushing up on stats now... Let's go deeper. There are 6 factions, or 7 if we include OM. Relic likely either coded Random to pick from the commander list, or to pick a faction and then a commander inside. I suspect it's the former, since I feel like I don't get OM that often (I ...

Small sample space, confirmation bias, humans do not understand stats. There is of course a small chance the random function is biased a bit, but likely for something mundane like rounding errors.

Re: Why was DA exarch moved to T1?
Eldar are still pretty good and the changes were good indeed. However the playstyles are more limited now. You are forced to buy battle equipment for no good reason. I actually feel the exact opposite! I think BE and Exarch both in t1 open up more build / timing options. BE is hardly mandatory, DA'...

Re: Dire avenger aspect is cheap for what it does
I think +5 power might be ok, but I won't know until I've played a lot more 2.6. The DA changes altered the unit in a really impactful way, I think further nerfs would be too hasty.

Re: Is the Baneblade Nerf really necessary.
BB aside, the cata changes represent a huge buff. The demo man upgrade functionally reduced from 75/20 to 50/10 is a big deal, on top of 15% extra ranged damage and sily smooth sarge scaling. Trying to spin those changes as a nerf is disingenuous. BB was an unplayable piece of trash in 3v3 and 1v1. ...

Re: Mekboy Big Shoota and Stikkbomma Melee Skill Balance
I agree with everything Tex said. Less spike damage on the nades, more focus on CC and addressing internal ork balance. I don't think unit cost reduction is as necessary with other changes, and I have no opinion on the red costs changing.

Re: Current and upcoming Wraithguard
Agree on courage damage up and keep damage down. Agree on more lenient fire pattern (especially wind up to reduce misfire.). I'd be in favor of a wind up even lower then 1, in exchange for more cool down or wind down. I'm indifferent in speed and vision changes. Further health increases might be OK,...

Lastly, and very importantly, the librarian needs more love! His initial cost is incredibly prohibitive in terms of internal balance, and a better initial purchase in T2 will almost always be a razorback or whirlwind. My proposal is that the Librarian should be designed around an initial cost of 36...

Re: Why does the falcon still have AV out of the gate?
I'll just repeat: More complete DA nerfs and the -1 speed might be plenty. If it isn't, I'd like a small AV dps decrease (like down 20% to ~23), not it's complete removal.

The key thing of course is that default scouts are really cheap and good for capping and then they can be upgraded to shotguns or snipers as you see fit. It's easier to just throw some snipers in on as SM on top of your jump squad and your SUTs than it is for eldar to throw rangers on top of the re...

To answer the subject line: Because DoW would be really boring if every race had exactly the same strengths and weaknesses. Digging slightly deeper, I think Falcon was potent but reasonable until 2.5 with the DA change. Getting them back in line will make the Falcon fine, especially if it really doe...
