I think the key is just playing in-house games. We did that in the past with DoW 1 and it worked amazingly well. Hopefullllly 1.4 gets people excited/caring about the game again so we can do that. Are-you-fucking-kidding-me-goomba

Are-you-fucking-kidding-me-goomba I am one of the people that doesn't give a shit about this shitheap of a game if it helps any. I'd want to, but I don't care enough to want to care enough.

I haven't been keeping updated, but who won that goddamn tournament and where can I see the replays? PA Tourney that is.

I had the most wins and was undefeated when people stopped playing if that helps. I uploaded all the replays in the thread but the only really good one of me beating akira has been rendered unwatchable by the new patch.

Canis is an exploiter so it wasn't worth watching anyway.

Canis truly is the scrubiest of scrubs.

So last night I was screwing around with 2on2 annihilation vs CPU and I went powerclaws and 3 second teleport on the WSE and just went nutty. Fuck, he can be a dick. I chased a retreating nob squad all the way from my HQ to theirs, each time teleporting right into their path and whacking them once more. Sometimes he executed a knockdown which guaranteed two hits. He was lvl10 by that point and he was doing some rather nasty damage to the poor AI. This game is so damn damned.

Canis is an exploiter so it wasn't worth watching anyway. It was a great game and you know it you big baby. And I'm totally the black guy. I guess.

So I got this game a couple of days ago (finally!) and have been playing multiplayer as Eldar. Unfortunately...I'm rubbish. I've played around ten games and have only won one and that was because most of the other team may or may not have dropped out . Any tips would be appreciated, and keep in mind this is pretty much the first RTS I've really started playing online. Also a few specific questions: 1) Are Banshees still worthless? 'Cos they seemed like a waste of money whenever I've used them. 2)What about Wraithlords? From what I can tell they're exceedingly fragile, expensive and tough to get into melee. 3) Farseer's Singing Spear seems to do fuck all to vehicles. In the games defense, I was up against a Dread when I used it, but even being in my base and getting healed while fighting it didn't save her. Hmmm, there seems to be a trend to my questions. Incidently, whoever came up with the idea of making the godamn Eldar the most platform dependent race needs to reevaluate their life choices.

1) Need piles of buffs, like guide, fortune, and doomed their targets. 2) Decent enough walkers, really. The plus is upgrading them doesn't reduce their melee, you just have to hit the "melee now" button, or Z, to get them to walk up. 3) Yeah pretty much, yeah. Rear armor hits still go off in melee, though, so... yeah just get doomblade. Eldar kinda suck, so I'd go with SM. They are the more standard, well balanced, non-shittest race in the game. Tyranids are what you play when you want to win without trying and orkz are melee, thus overpowered, fucks.

I remember when people touted Orks as probably the most reasonably balanced race in the game.

They were okay, then the fucked with transports and grenades and that pushed them over. Also I've always said their t1 and t3 were too strong and t2 was pretty decent, but I believed the ork players just like they be... lieved... hrm.

I sure don't remember anyone saying that.. Especially not with the bullshit one hit kill against my generators with stikkbommas.

Stickbommas really became horseshit when they could onehit plats even when they are retreating. Before that they were just really really good. The looted tank is also kind of stupid when compared to predators or fireprisms.

So are Orks considered the OP race now? What changed recently?

Are-you-fucking-kidding-me-goomba I am one of the people that doesn't give a shit about this shitheap of a game if it helps any. I'd want to, but I don't care enough to want to care enough. I'm just saying, I was always suggesting in house games as an alternative to the mucky muck of the ranking system and you were all PFFFFFFFFF THIS GAME.

So are Orks considered the OP race now? What changed recently? They're certainly not the OP race. In 1v1s they're plausibly an OP race however. I really don't think they're decisively OP at all, and particularly not in team games. Honestly though I haven't been playing as much lately. Really ought to though. Stikkbomba effects on platforms is just plain unreasonable though.

Stikkbombas in 1v1s, more than Tyranids, are what made me stop playing them. I have never tried verbally abusing someone before the third match in a row against stikkbombas but goddamn it made the pain easier to deal with. And then I realized I should probably stop.

So are Orks considered the OP race now? What changed recently? Nah thats still tyranids. Stickbommas are just unbelievably frustrating to deal with now that grenades do full damage to retreating units. The sensible thing to do if I was relic would be to only impliment this change if I also changed setup time units like devestators and platforms so they didnt have to unpack before retreating. Anything else means plats are near totally useless against orks and a tremendous liability. Devestators are in a similar albeit not as bad situation.

So how many people would be opposed to the regular skirmish AI fights awarding experience for unlocks? I wonder if that would reduce the pool of players that are in the multiplayer competitive, and would just lead to lots and lots of comp stomp games.

Already said that's exactly what I think should happen. 1/4 of your score for winning an AI skirmish (against Hard or higher), 1/2 your score for winning a Custom Game and retain the present system for Ranked games. That makes it the most efficient way of getting Rank while allowing people not interested in facing the jerks who will always be around in competitive to get it another way.

Wouldn't you rather shoot the stikkbommas in stead? You should play Orks sometime, and be suprised at how slow they are and how quickly they go down.
