Re: 2.7 Proposal - AV Warrior Brood 'Melta bomb' Upgrade

I also agree with boss on the issue of Nids becoming the next Chaos. There will be no incentive to ever go T3. I strongly disagree with him on the issue of Zoan survivability. The fact that they can't be knocked over is a HUGE deal when trying to kill them. They don't need constant babysitting at a...

Now that we have had a chance to play some DOW3, is it different from what you guys expected? For me, it is exactly what I expected, which is weird because it was and probably still is "too early to tell". I quite like it for what it is, I had a lot more fun in multiplayer than i thought ...

Re: 2.7 Proposal - AV Warrior Brood 'Melta bomb' Upgrade

All melee carnifex get melee resist too. A thornback wins quite easily. My bad, I forgot it was TG that didn't get melee resist. Also, medium size doesn't make missles hit you regularly... that's large size. It provides only a very minor accuracy bonus to you from small arms fire but for the most p...

Re: 2.7 Proposal - AV Warrior Brood 'Melta bomb' Upgrade

Not to mention Warriors have been medium sized for a while now which means you can pretty much one-shot them with missiles and stuff. I find Warriors more of a liability than a boon these days. Looking at the codex the Dread and the Fex do the same dps, the Fex has 150 hp more but the Dread has mele...

Re: 2.7 Proposal - AV Warrior Brood 'Melta bomb' Upgrade

I like the idea but I'd suggest some hefty beta testing before implementing it. My gut feeling is that 75 power to get a snare on the field is not viable. This topic is petite so I'll comment on boss's post as well: I agree with boss that Carnifexes need looking at. Tanks have gradually been buffed ...

High Powered Shot and Bionics' hotkeys have been switched. Very confusing. That is actually a correction from the TM being completely f*cked on his hotkeys.

In "standard" RTS games that build bases, typically you would build your production structures far behind the battle lines. This makes sense, as the only benefit the buildings normally have is in the production of units and, in Relic games, the retreat function always takes the unit to th...

It's a game-breaking bug.

However I agree that Relic probably tried their best to fix it at the time.

The alt-tab issue is also not restricted to Windows 10 as far as I'm aware (been seeing reports from Windows 8 / 8.1), I'd imagine it could be an issue post-Win7 and that people are simply noticing more because a lot of folks skipped Windows 8 in general.

The error logs only tend to record up to the point where the game stopped working, so particularly nasty exceptions won't even leave a trace.

3) You don't need to kill a vehicle to defeat vehicle play. Exactly. And this is why Hiveminion's ramblings about how you need a snare to kill vehicles misses the point.

The claim that they have no way to deal with fast vehicles is untrue. It is like claiming IG cannot deal with artillery or T2 melee spam.

Re: Tyranid AV and other issues

On the basis that most players are 3v3 players, yes, I would suspect they would agree. Because zoans are far more viable in quantities other than 1 in teams than they are in 1v1. However in 1v1 the zoan-spam-sniping vehicles doesn't really work. And the lack of pure nid OP now in 1v1 is greatly app...

To further elaborate on your own point, even if there is a consensus on a ranged snare that doesn't mean that how that ranged snare is implemented is agreed upon.
