Somehow I get the feelings that the Dev and the whole company hates the space marines. - 2 hit wonder Auto F^&king cannon were given to Chaos Space marines - Super long range auto lock poison stuffing skills were given to Sorcerers - Super speed were given to the eldars where even the Rhino cannot out run - Super fast animation were given to elder where they can B!tch slap any faction around with ease - Stupidly OP poison were given to Orks and Chaos Marines - Annoying Fire sword of the orks - Stupidly OP poison chainsword were given to Chaos marines -super fast Eldar Vehicles which can move so fast, it is impossible for anyone to melta it or even pfist it -Eldar vehicles only need 1 occupant to be able to move around and also fire at the same time. the other factions requires 1 man to men the steering, another to men the guns. Eternal Crusade is repeating other highly hyped MMO that have failed by not addressing balancing and fun
I guess you forgot to mention the 1-hit kill plasma cannon spam. You know, the thing LSM can do and apparently are doing. But yeah, nerf everything else.
- Super speed were given to the eldars where even the Rhino cannot out run Hit Shift when driving a Rhino for a speed boost. - Super fast animation were given to elder where they can B!tch slap any faction around with ease Eldar Animations are only the tiny bit faster this has been proven many times. -super fast Eldar Vehicles which can move so fast, it is impossible for anyone to melta it or even pfist it Grav Gun soon (TM) -Eldar vehicles only need 1 occupant to be able to move around and also fire at the same time. the other factions requires 1 man to men the steering, another to men the guns. Tell you what go make a video where you get nothing but 30+ kills with the shuriken catapult on the tank (Not running people over mind you kill someone with the gun) Then we can talk.
Sorry...LSM are doing fine on the world map. Orks are looking to be bottom tier right now(not by much though, just can't seem to push CSM back heh). I'll take the time to respond though: -No worse than Plasma Cannon -Takes longer to stack poison then just shooting someone with a Bolter -Rhino outruns Eldar once it hits full speed sooooo... -LSM are beating Eldar back and forth all day, clearly not the case -Apoths have the SAME poison as Painboyz -Apoths have a fire POWER MAUL, also Burny Choppa was nerfed and fire damage is negligible now -No worse than Apoth Narthecium -Everyone hates Eldar vehicles -No one dies to the Eldar pilot gun, they die to roadkills
Fair? Fair to WHO? Oh, wait, my bad. Fair to whatever YOU are playing atm. Everyone else can go fuck themselves, because they don't matter. Balance in ANY online game is not a simple 'click button and fix everything' problem. In Warhammer 40K? It is worse. Then add in game code where you tweak one thing to fix it and break at least 5 more. Yes, this game needs a lot of balance fixes. But demanding that things be fair to YOU and you ONLY will NOT win you many friends. Also... Fair? in WAR?????? LOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOLOL
You got some points right, but on other i really have to say something against, here we go: (I assigned numbers to your original post) 1) True thing. 2) The Stream of Corruption? This was a real threat quite some time ago, now with Heal-Grenades, HoT effects, Life Steal it's quite useless. As a Sorc player myself, i have to apply this at least for 75% of my Warpcharge bar for it to kill you. And this takes a long time. And even if you got hit, a small step into the healing circle of a Medi-grenade and it's totally useless 3) Explain further Please. A Rhino with Shift pressed is faster then a sprinting Eldar last time i checked 4) Same for some Ork-Charge attacks. Animation & Attack speed is known to be buggy, hopefully fixed soon 5) Stupidly OP Poison? You mean, like the LSM Apothecarys Narthecium? 6) It should be like the Rites of Fire now (wich was also stupidly OP) If not, i hope they fix it soon 7) see point 5) 8) Well... the Serpent is more fragile to make up for it. I like asymmetrical balance, but a look on that one wouldn't hurt i agree 9) Play eldar... and take one of those vehicles, fire for yourself. This tells me you havn't played Eldar and as such have no idea what you are talking about. So, some points are totally true, while others just seem a little salty No offense
The "Devs hate my faction" syndrome is rather childish and probably only in your mind. By the way I would say that DoT even if rather effective at least have a counter: get a medikit and you can save yourself. The game at the moment is not balanced, Mr. Richardson clearly stated this in a recent interview: there are problems with weapons balances, factions balance, classes balance. But I share your same frustration: I've been playing for 1 month, only 1 character who didn't even reach Rank 5. And I'm not even loggin in anymore. And believe me: I love WH40K. But it doesn't really make sense to play the game as it is now. Because you often die and you have the terrible feeling there was no way to avoid it, and you also have the impression it was an extremely easy kill for your enemy. Being cannon fodder for melee sword spammers when d-bash does not work? Or when my weapon will crack at the first clang? Spending hours to improve my build or unlock a Veteran when mostly of deaths are Plasma one-hit-kills? No thanks, I'll give a look at the next patch notes to see what happens.
All other races have weapons of this class, but rarely use it: CSM -heavy plasma, eldar and orcs have mortar
i love how people forget that Chaos have PC too + AG and AA. Now LSM its doing great you just need to adjust your gameplay vs certain factions, never go Devastator vs Eldar unless you are in a "choke point" with the wind at your side"...... Maggon....... Its true we dont have "DOT" weapons apart from the Space Corgi and Apotecharys upgrades, BUT!! we have "in theory" better equipment for range battle, yes wait for the Grav Gun.. altough i will not put my faith in that weapon, because is a Team Work weapon that deals less damage than the bolter and its just for utility. For Now adjust your gameplay, come to the Space Marine Forum, at let discuss what we got now.
