Re: 2.7.1 Test Build Changelog (only log for now)

I'm not sure if a private questioning period is warranted or not here... but I for the life of me cannot understand even half of the changes made. Don't get me wrong, I'm very appreciative of the mod and all of the hard work that has been put into it, and I've said this on multiple occasions. But I ...

Not bothering to sign up for this garbage. I'm a man of principles and I just can't stand for this. I'm sorry to say this guys, but Starcraft 2 is far superior to DOW3 (in every way even?). Hell, I find DOW2 is even a lot better in most areas. There, I said it! We should all be boycotting this lame ...

Re: A Rant By Archwarhammer on Dow3

I'm confused, are you guys trying to say that Arch's arguments are incorrect? Or just that he used far too much wind to get his points across? To be fair, I don't have time to listen entire rants anymore, but from what I could surmise his arguments sound pretty based in what's actually happening are...

Re: Terminators for sm and chaos from a 1v1 view

Last time I checked, plasma tacs or GM's or other efficient shooting squads can't wipe an entire squad(s) of infantry in 3-5 seconds with a 'teleport - surprise - you're dead' combo. I know this doesn't justify terms being pretty soft in the current meta, but I think its a bit of a stretch to say th...

Re: Tyranid AV and other issues

I haven't decided which way I lean on this argument yet, so I just want to gain some information instead. Question. 1. Is ork AV okay enough that having no snare other than mekboy mines (which I haven't seen used in over a year) is justified? What is the key to this working and nid AV not working? 2...

Re: A small improvement suggestion for next patch

@Atlas, what makes this case special is that the bang bang hammer has a very small niche. I think you have a good point though in that it could very easily be argued that other units that suffer from this issue should have the scope of their special attacks narrowed down. The window of opportunity t...

Re: A small improvement suggestion for next patch

Okay so some opinions have come to bear, that is a good thing. I think it is important to note that I don't think this change would be a net buff if you isolate just the special attack situation. A 360 special is the best kind of special. I don't think this can really be argued?? I am asking for it ...

Re: FACTION WARS-Results,Evaluation-Season I-Rostam Casts

No surprise that power armor races came out on top really. 3v3 completely negates the the map control weaknesses of the slow moving, high investment, power armor units, and this is further exacerbated by the fact that you aren't forced to buy a map control unit and can then build strait into another...

Re: Why was DA exarch moved to T1?

And now that rangers have been made much easier to purchase, I think its worth looking at taking detection away from DA's and putting it on the exarch or Dark Reapers or something else if it must be put on something.

Re: Looking for Ork advice

I think with the changes implemented to stikkbommas, you could consider them the best setup unit that orks have now. You can launch the stun bombs every 15 seconds which means you can disrupt and approach, disrupt again with the stikkbombs, and then disrupt or snare with the stunbombs once more. I r...

Re: Current and upcoming Wraithguard

I think you might be right on the hp. I can see their hp going up to ~750 per model if the damage and windup are kept reasonable. This is exactly the way I used to use wraithguard, but I was always punished heavily with the exarch being at the front of the formation.

Dakka x3... only way to know is to increase power cost by 5 and then re-evaluate from there. Stikkbommas will be a 100% novelty purchase if their melee skill is taken away. They struggle from massive internal competition, as well as not complimenting ork composition very well in their timing slot. I...

Re: Why does the falcon still have AV out of the gate?

After review, the falcon could most definitely have its AV damage removed or significantly diminished until Tier 3, and it would function quite fine, assuming that its total DPS didn't drop too much, and that a minor power cost reduction was made. I will firmly stand behind my statement earlier in a...

Re: Ork changes

Without a doubt painboy should have melee resist. IIRC, shoota base dps was increased, but big shoota dps was decreased. This was done in an effort to reduce the effect of 3 shoota models doing an insane amount of DPS. Perhaps shoota base DPS needs to be lowered a touch? I think a consolation buff w...
