Explicitly saying 'solo customs' means I guess its not ready for launch. quote:The Siren of Slaanesh Chaos favour Upgrade now has an improved range of 7.500 instead of 3.000 Quite a bit more useful then quote:The Imperium now have a second kind of Torpedo: The Melta Torpedo. It causes an automatic critical damage “Fire Onboard!” on the ships they hit if the torpedo bypasses the armor. Unlike normal torpedoes, they consider armor as normal and not at 25%. loving sweet quote:Eldar’s Holofield increase rate now 7.5 per second instead of 10. Its decrease stays at 10 per second.

These are Good Patches. Taunt effecting Orks for 50% longer and Eldar 50% shorter is nice, fluffy, and well reasoned. Plasma macros getting turned into regular macros opens up ship options. No pulsar changes, though I like what they did with holofields. I'm really enjoying this feeling of the devs actively listening to the playerbase (that knows what they're talking about) and not over-reacting to things.

I'm kinda glad because sometimes I get lazy or forget what mode I started in and don't notice the target showing up at the start. e: also i miss assassination when you had like half the points of the attacker. now I can just duke it out with the enemy and usually win  ohh and plasma macros getting changed might make something other than dominators viable now! hemale in pain fucked around with this message at 15:47 on Apr 21, 2016 |

Holofield change won't sting at all since you still do a 1 shot on enemy ships first pass if you get off the first major volley anyway.

I'm just glad that a lost generator no longer means a lost ship as Eldar anymore. Oh nice, the got rid of elf wobbling as well. Big buff to Pulsars. apostateCourier fucked around with this message at 16:14 on Apr 21, 2016 |

I like the new Imperium upgrades, here's hoping they'll add more distinct stuff to other factions too.quote:
No more Lock-On crit bonus for lances, but that wasn't amazing for IN anyway. Fast torpedoes! A shield with armor values! Ramming! Options! The Mezoa Drive seems decent - IN can make themselves faster than orks, but still slightly slower than Chaos and you get hurt worse by an engine crit since those no longer turn off AAF/HET/Red Button for others, while everyone else can take an upgrade that makes engine crits hurt the top speed less. Moderate buff to macros shooting at Eldars, but a high speed Eldar ship will still be more durable than an equally sized 50 armor target - just not by some ridiculous margin.

Considering you still get the free DLC if you buy within the first two months after release, this is essentially "early access", which has quickly become the norm for PC releases and it sucks. Also I don't see any mention of the ship painter, they patched the button for it out of the beta awhile ago but I figured that was just because it wasn't done and the button didn't do anything. So... did they just give up on bothering with that or is it coming later...?

I'm still getting used to how everything works, but why do ships (I'm not sure if it's Eldar specific or not) stop moving sometimes? I thought you needed to activate retro thrusters to keep ships stationary

I hope this game does well. Vermintide and this really feel like games made by devs who just love the worlds and want to share that enthusiasm. Dawn of War 2 and Space Marine were awesome, I'm excited for Total Warhammer (hope is the first step etcetc), it's a good time to be a warhams fan

Just bought this and booted it up; is it officially still in Beta/Only-First-Three-Campaign-Missions-Playable mode until further notice? That's what I'm getting.

I just got confirmation from the devs on the official forums, co-op vs AI and custom 1v1s are both things being worked on but not quite finished for release, should be pushed in an update ASAP. Mega bummer as that's what I'm most looking forward to, but at least they're close to finishing it.

Even a few months ago they weren't sure it would make release, given all the balancing and other work they needed to do.

From what I've heard, Tindalos is actually a rather small dev, so it stands to reason they need to focus on the most important bits. let's not forget that they're massive sperglords working on their favourite aspect of their favourite IP, so there's going to be a lot of tweaking to be done in the near future, we can bet on that.

I really love how they are adding flavor weapon variations. Not only is it good for balance, but it really broadens the diversity of IN. Hope we see more of that for other races (I'm sure we will).

Holofield changes seem good, playing Eldar v. Eldar in the beta it seemed like the only way to kill something was to block its movement so you could get some damage in for a few seconds.

Arglebargle III posted:I'm still not sure why bombs are in the game. Probably so people can't just run circles around the map all day. Taunt + stasis are pretty much necessary cheese counters. (you can now blow up stasis bombs with plasma bombs I think) I've lost the first two missions outside the tutorial on heroic difficulty... I might need to go down to hard.

AngryJoe did a stream of the campaign yesterday, played a few more levels than we got to in the beta. He set it to like Heroic difficulty though and got absolutely destroyed. https://www.twitch.tv/angryjoeshow/v/61809032 Takes awhile to get going, just skip to like 2/3rds of the way through.

This is really souring me on the game at the moment especially as Focus has tried to gently caress me over before. I'll have to see how they resolve this but if they don't make it right I'll seek a refund, maybe buy it later in a sale.

It's actually really confusing as some online retailers have confirmed with Focus (gamesplanet.de) that they're getting the dlc. Gmg has not been confirmed either way

GMG or other authorized retailers don't apply anymore. The game literally sold out right as I went to buy it last night through GMG so I guess that was a dodged bullet there. I thought it came with the preorder bonus
