Why were Swooping Hawks nerfed when the issue was JPA balance?

    Given the amount of people from different factions who complained about jump classes, I don't think it's fair to point the finger at the Eldar as the sole complainers.

    Besides, wasn't this always the plan with classes; making sacrifices in one area to be better in another? Less survivability, more mobility, for example.
  2. Exept that it is not a choice you have, you have no armour or no mobility but always no weapon or weapon but nothing else. And you get fewer armour than all other class to begin with? I try it before writting here playing ten match yesterday and i was killed almost four times more than before and get less than half my kills. Basic JPA with 130 armour, 200 hp and 100 toughness??? Did i choose to play Eldar and be glass canon? No JPA are shock and awe troops not fart sliding down the history garbage, really thinking about quitting this fucking game. So i can't stand my ground against other melee, can't even close the gap with range before being shot dead, can no more help my team doing tank hunting. Seriously from the start it is the worst JPA state of the game.

    As for pointing at Eldar IT IS MAINLY BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONLY OINES ACTING LIKE PRETENTIOUS OVERRATED D*** HEAD.

    You're welcome, anything to discourage 60% of LSM team going suicidal JPAs on defense on ticket maps.

    If people quit the game because of one nerf then just...wow
    JPA got tweaked so now they can be more mobile with less armour and damage but the class is still playable and can do its roles of hunting heavies

    I wouldn't quit if Fire Dragons double melta got nerfed or removed, I would be sad though as all they would have is slow melta and gimped las cannon only for AV for the entire faction but not rage quit compared to the 5+ options everyone else has the luxury of.

    Firstly; The Codex Astartes does not support this rant.

    Secondly; I wouldn't get too angry about JPA nerf since every class is going to get a rebalance, across all factions.

    Not like it was only the JPA that took a hit. Raptors, Stormboyz and the Swooping Turkey took a hit too.

    Third; Rants like this are what give LSM a bad rep. Try and be constructive with your feedback and start discussion, rather than *pulls a Stoic and gestures to all the post* this.

    Finally might see more marine teams not going 75% jump. I for one look forward to more interesting games in the future.

    Honestly I don't see that happen unless they are on defense. Any other match and I see maybe 5 people using havocs. Of course now I see more with jumps being changed, but I also see tacticals (refuse to call them traitors cause thats fucking stupid) , sorcs, and even ground assaults. That last one is great because when raptors were just flat out better no one even played them hardly.

    Dude... as a Hawk I can't stand my ground against any ranged unit that knows how to handle a dart gun. Thanks to.... TADAAAAA: Space Marines IT IS MAINLY BECAUSE THEY ARE THE ONLY OINES ACTING LIKE PRETENTIOUS OVERRATED D*** HEAD.

    I choose Eldar and I'm not a glass canon. I'm just glass. And that's been like this for over 3 month. But it seems I'm still around. So now chill, and try to deal with it. [Just so you know, I've eaten the same nerf in the head you did, so before calling me names for not understanding you, which I actually do, try to understand me.]

  10. I am confused as to why the Hawk fuel costs more, from everything Brent said (and the protopatchnotes) I didn't expect this.

    I guess I will go with the standart armor now, and only ever engage enemys when I can land directly behind them.
