there seems to be some disagreement over dev performance between T1 and T2, with some people worried about buffs that improve survivability in T2 making them too hard to deal with in T1 - why not a paid upgrade to improve health, say, available only in T2, once the plasma weapons etc. start coming ...

I think the suppression will remain pretty instant. But it will not last as long when you back out. Not 100% sure about it. I think the only variable that determines how long suppression will last is how fast the squad regenerates courage back from 0 to 100%. Basically, you start with 100, get supp...

I think input from skilled players should be valued highly when making balance decisions. However, with such a small community, the effects of personal bias and preference factor more heavily than if, say, we could takes the opinions of the top 50 players of a community of 10k+, and test them in a t...

Imho what makes (super) heavy infantry usually is a combination of higher health pool per model AND the armor dmg modifiers. Not only the dmg modifiers. And no more arguments about medieval warfare, please. WINNAR Even when you factor in the extra damage from power melee, tacs have better effective...

If you use fleshhook and the animation starts, but the unit dies before the fleshhook goes through its animation (like some termas finish it off first), you can no longer use the attack hotkey or right click units to attack stuff with the lictor. Oddly enough you can still cap and use abilities, and...

TBH the only time I see T3 elite spamming is when a player basically gets taken out of the game in T2/early T3 but the other team fails to seal the deal i.e. they get outplayed by the remaining two players. When you have no units and no upkeep you can afford to spam the shit of gits and kasrkin. Fra...

On the wargear page of the lictor alpha, it says the Toxin Miasma claw grants the Toxin Miasma ability but the ability no longer exists AFAICT.

I've seen it happen with beamy deffguns and fireprisms, too. I think anything with an instantaneous beam kind of attack can do it.

Wow I just watched Adila's games against Crazyman (here) and they were awesome.

I thought ASM would yell "for the emperor" when sync killing something in multiplayer, back when they had sync kills. Can the sarge still do sync kills? Could he yell "FtE"?

Stopped reading right there. When Rocket Run can take out a super like a BB at pretty much full health like how Eldritch Storm does, or wipe a entire squad in the blink of an eye like how roks does, then come back and tell us Rocket Run hits hard. - If you chain the runs together you can kill full ...

AFAIK that's pretty typical of tank/transport mounted weaponry, probably as a concession to their ability to kite and general high mobility.

This thing only does 20 dps, AV only*, and it's continuous damage not burst damage. I don't think anyone would ever buy it if it took away melee resistance AND it couldn't FotM. If it really needs to be nerfed, I'd say decrease its range (and don't let it fire in melee ofc... everyone agrees that's ...

I totally agree that Rocket Run is fucking ridiculous. PROS: - The delay is short enough that if you don't respond to the flares instantly, you will pretty much take the full brunt of the global. You CAN fully dodge it, but it basically requires that they use it in the worst possible way i.e. your a...

Just so you know, the unit infiltration and healing abilities are specific to the farseer and warlock gates, respectively. The WSE and warlock can't use gates to infiltrate units, although the gates will infiltrate themselves once built. Likewise, the farseer and WSE can't use gates to heal stuff. (...

That's a good idea. My concern is that units can behave strangely if ordered to fire on something that's within their minimum range - for example, the KNob with the rokkit launcha will walk up and touch (but not melee) a vehicle if it gets within range 10 of him. If a bloodcrusher melees a melta dre...

It also has a minimum range of 5

I was actually wondering if giving the various walker ranged weapons a 0.5 or 1 second windup and reducing cooldown by the same amount might stop them from firing in melee while keeping their dps the same.

The chaos dread AC doesn't have a windup FWIW.

Just food for thought: [snipped for length] Noteworthy that the catapult doesn't grant an ability and has 5 less range. But it keeps the melee resistance and does slightly more dps from ranged. I wouldn't claim that the catapult upgrade is inferior at all, let stand be far more inferior. The shuri ...

Here's what I remember from my trip to Australia from a couple years ago:

These things love to hang about head level over popular trails. The biggest ones we saw were probably 4" from leg tip to leg tip.

Lovely scenery, but... fuck your wildlife

The problem in the second scenario is More Dakka, which is pretty fucking OP IMHO when used against single entity units because it's basically the Apo's full auto plus 25% extra damage. I dunno about removing their range upgrade. They're already a pretty one dimensional squad and if you take away th...

tem·po·ral adjective 1. relating to worldly as opposed to spiritual affairs; secular. 2. of or relating to time. tem·po·rar·y adjective 1. lasting for only a limited period of time; not permanent. temporary is the word you're all looking for permanent bloodletters would be crazy without a price adju...

Well on the plus side I haven't had that weird hanging issue after the game loads for eveyone (you know, the one where you sit there for 30 or 40 seconds while everything is dark and the power/req/VP haven't spawned yet) and I haven't had the game forget to assign hotkeys to my commander and starter...

Amazing! Frozen must be proud of that one

Usually I only notice the exploding barrels when I'm trying to put something in cover near one and I accidentally order them to shoot at it. Someday, someone will kill an opponent's unit with an exploding barrel and it will be glorious.

... what if the melta storms decide to kill your sent instead, then come back for manti te'o later? Alternatively, if you plan your attack accordingly, I bet you could melta the sent to prevent a stomp and kill the manti with rear armor hits before it can get away. TBH if you are playing against a f...

I think the silver lining here is that the force commander WAS one of the worst heros in regards to competitive play... Isn't the problem that he's lackluster in T1? Wasn't it the nerf to alacrity that knocked him down a couple pegs on the competitiveness scale? Maybe that should get a look rather ...

I'd love to see some replays of this in action. I've found that devs are too frail to be the centerpiece unit in T2, and even when under the effects of VoT, are kinda finicky and can fail to target things correctly. Yeah they don't have a setup time but they still have a brief weapon readying animat...

The key to getting good with SM IMHO is getting good with scouts. They have excellent sight range and speed - 55 and 6.5 respectively, which are some of the highest values in the game for an infantry unit, and you get one squad for free. Learning to capitalize on those attributes so your opponent do...

For the mek

Sorcerer teleports in > More Dakka global on shoota squad that's not tied up > death (by choppa or mass dakka; you choose)

The PC can get that annoying knockback resistant armor, but in T1 you can bounce him around too.

Is it weird to say that I like the music from the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game? Because I like the music from the new Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles game.



(I haven't played it; I just like the music)
