Maybe the only thing I liked from the DOW3 sneak peek was the fact that the orbital bombardment could be moved. That might be another way it could be tweaked to be less hit-and-miss.

As Torpid said, avoid the universal build. You should have a build that adapts to the faction and composition of your opponents. I don't play as LG, but my impression of him is that even the sentinel does not have to be an auto-purchase - if an IG commander can field 3 GM, it is him. At first glance...

There is nothing funny/strange about it. Many of us have been playing DOW games since the very first release, and really want DOW3 to be a great game because we would enjoy another great 40K game. What is so confusing about that? People don't know what they want. This is why most of the people who ...

He was in Vanilla DOW2; he was in Chaos Rising (or at least it sounded like him); and I believe he was in retribution. Maybe they replaced him for one title, but all the DOW2 Angelos voices sound like Dobson. This new guy sounds nothing like the old Angelos.

mpKZg.png I still can't accept that they replaced the voice actor for Darius/Garen/Gabriel... whatever his name is (also he appears to be a tank now, not a melee brawler, so they weren't lying when they said certain elements would change as the release approaches). The distinctive Dobson voice has ...

Blight grenades are one of those items that are not very good if you are mindful of them, but mercilessly punish any mistakes on your part. If you play enough you will learn to avoid getting hit by them, and can even learn how to bait PC players into making bad throws, but until then I can see why y...

Sounds like it would be fun and at least worth a try. I wonder if certain races would be at a disadvantage in this mode.

Aside from the immolator, which will roast a turret and mostly toast a beacon, what else is there? Maybe a bile spewer, but that requires at least 10 seconds of continuous firing to bring down a beacon (assuming the codex is correct) and you to get in range in the first place. It seems that once a b...

It never occurred to me to purchase immolator on my LC or Apo. I also play as FS sometimes so I'll get it on her as well. Thanks for the tip.

Hey Impregnable, I need to withdraw from the tourney... I'm sorry for pulling out so late, but our house is being renovated and the electricity is going to be going on/off intermittently for the next half of a week or so.

Not all balance issues can be solved with price/pop changes. In this case I don't think slapping on some more pop cost will make bacons less potent in 3v3.

I use my T2 IG bacon all the time, even though it has no heal and costs 385/85. Yes, it synergizes well with bunkers, but you still have to buy the bunker (total cost of bacon + heal bunker is 585/110/75) and sacrifice your chimera (it can attack, but the loss of a functional transport vehicle still...

Problem is that people only play 3v3 casually. There aren't any systemic try hard attempts to win. When that happens beacons are more or less unbeatable, especially on big maps. This is definitely what I've noticed; when I play 3v3s on my own with random people, I only have a reasonable chance of t...

Don't knock the passive knockback until you've used it to control nobs or other strong melee units. It pretty much is the sole reason you buy that upgrade.

Thanks Torpid, I was also unaware of the RDR for units in melee - I assumed melee did more damage to buildings and that was why I saw people punching the crap out of gens. I assume the damage spread was done to make ranged combat more realistic. If you have two banshee squads blobbed together and ch...

Well, don't give up hope yet, maybe if DOW3 tanks then people will go back to DOWII retribution to get their 40K fix, even if they have to put up with terrible "photo-realistic" graphics.

Hi all, I can't speak for 1v1, but in 3v3 TM structures are extremely potent and create a situation that demands much more skill/effort on the part of the opponent than they do on the part of the TM constructing them. Turrets are definitely annoying in tight lanes, but for me the relay beacon seems ...

Hi all, I've been incorporating stormtroopers into my builds recently, and when I send them to bash the enemies generators I notice that generators which lie close to the primary target also seem to take a certain amount of damage (although less than the one I am targeting). How does this happen? I ...

Does this mean the UK can now choose which immigrants to take in (for example, educated nice people), instead of being the homeless shelter of the world? No, because we haven't left yet. Lol. That would be a possibility upon leaving the EU though. That's gonna take about 30months though. Ya, bad wo...

lel, it was only a matter of time, everyone has a horror story about those guys.

Thanks for the tips guys. I am definitely too reliant on catachans and not enough on spotters at the moment, gonna have to condition myself to make the switch.

Well, they do have rippers, but I get why that doesn't satisfy many people. I've actually found the changes to focused warp blast make it more dangerous to light vehicles... zoanthrope spam can now take down light vehicles very quickly, without the need for a veno brood or another AV unit. If they g...

Man, some people are very literal-minded. No one is literally claiming it is going to be a MOBA - but it does reek of many of the visual and gameplay design choices typical of the MOBA genre, which a lot of people who care about the 40K universe find inappropriate.

Hehehe, we should start calling him Garen Angelos

Has this changed anyone's feelings on the game?

EDIT - I feel a more appropriate name would be Dawn of the Ancients of Starcraft 3.

Can't barrage the Farage.

On a serious note, I understand why the UK wants to detach itself from a big clunky bureaucracy like that. I once heard the EU described a family of 28 where 3 people have jobs... seems quite appropriate.

1) Oddnerd
2) Either Date
3) Imperial Guard (barely passable as Eldar or SM)

I absolutely agree with Torpid's concerns about the map pool. Unless you are okay with SM/CSM dominating the tournament with lowest common denominator douchebag builds, you should pick less laney maps and probably ban relays (or make them T2 only).
