Maybe it's time to rework Torias next, because it's grown stale and even so long after it was added people still play it the same way and lose always. It needs not only a rework, but it even needs for B-point to be moved to a less desirable location to fight for both defenders and attackers, as currently what happens is folks attacking B first then running off to C and B just gets taken back instantly because the defender spawn is right next to it. A map becomes stale when every match played on it is almost exactly the same, and nearly always results in attacker loss (and it's not because it's too easy to defend, it's point-locations etc catering to lazy "i-don't-want-to-run-far"-playstyles)
@Pierrick @jbregg now that vets have the critical-immunity, can plasma finally be buffed again? It's quite silly even when non-vets survive direct hits from it, but it's just plain boring to use when you overheat after two shots, and the guy survives the first one and has time to evade the next
@jbregg I would like to ask for buffs to rock it aoe damage as well because I have hit CSM devestator that stack toughness and hp with direct or near direct hits to their feet and have them survive on a sliver on HP. Tough this might require testing
Rokkits hit for 1400... The slowgit launcha secondary is more comparable to the plasma cannon lol. Kannon hits for 1600. Generally the nerf that happened to Plasma did not carry over to other factions with similar weapons, and thus resulted in a rather unpleasant imbalance in terms of area-effect weapons.
Yep, because you know it's pretty silly when someone else dies from plasma on their vet, when even tzeentch-vets survive a direct hit, and you can't help but wonder if they even equipped any survival stat items at all
Promethium is being remade, possibly some adjustments to Carmine too and I wouldn't be surprised if we get to see 'Snow Medusa' shortly or something of the likes. The workshop might see some action, although I don't think the current devs are really working on that, ought to be more of a legal thing. After the Boltgun, it is probable that other, high-performing weapons too get revisited in the near future in a similar fashion. There are a couple of minor skins on the UAT that did not make it into the current build and will likely receive some polishing, and we will see more additions like that in the future. Maybe further tweaks to the melee-system, but I wouldn't count on it. Most importantly, someone said there would be a Banshee-buff, someone who should not underestimate the power of Eldar witchcraft. And, of course, there is the 5v5-map that surprisingly remained on UAT
Snow medusa? Naaaah, only if it included stormy effects to reduce line of sight (like a fog-of-war snowstorm or something), otherwise it'll just feel like a quasi-pegasus If he could manage to make a version of Medusa with plants and lots of green stuff, and change the lava into waterfalls etc (make it a tropical map), that would be tiiiiight, like fighting on catachan! @jbregg you think that's feasible? In terms of weapon-changes, obviously there are some pretty drastically outstanding ones in need of being addressed that have been desired changed for a long time, but would hopefully when it comes to such as other bolt-weapons, it'll be brought in line with the changes of the boltgun.. for instance, making the storm-bolter being twice the rate of fire with massive recoil and sizable amount of spread (but hopefully have the combi-bolters changed to be same rate of fire, firing both barrels each time at same equivalent recoil as the storm-bolter but obviously a bit different due to the function), but I guess we'll see what tricks @Pierrick has up his sleeves. Melee is probably on hold until further notice tho.. Banshees could do with a wider cone for the banshee-wail finally
Things that are probably over due in terms of weapon changes, is slightly nerfing the ailment/effect weapons of the 3 other factions that do not have an item-bound requirement for it, like how chaos have mark-requirements to equip certain items, whereas others don't. So it's only fair to ever so slightly affect them because they are possible to use with whatever loadout (particularly now that NCS is nurgle only finally).
If anything bringing in line the ones that have been far out there for a long time, like the Burny Choppa.. it should have been nerfed just the same as the Rites of Fire back when it was nerfed, but it's a trend that Ork equivalent weapons don't get nerfed when their counterparts on other factions do, and if they ever get nerfed it's much much much later. Just look at how long it took for the Kannon to get nerfed and how long after the plasma nerf it was, and Orks do still have a better autocannon than the autocannons
