Thanks for the hard work with the mod! Having fun with Elite !

Is it just me, or does the Purifier Sergeant die an awful lot? Seems to be higher than usual, or just my bad luck lol.

On another note, does the storm trooper overcharge work? Seems like its constantly active and energy wont replenish.

Havent tested much else, altho I am liking the Force Sword for the Bro Captain. Have to test the rest out ;)

I mention it once and Idk if it was over read but have you guys in mind that the Paladins get a 10% health decrease since their passiv aura has been reworked.

You mean Green Tooth Jungle?

The fix was probably lost in the maelstrom of map stuff we sent him. The support wall fix for Pale Tooth was lost in the warp too.

I think so. The ability won't turn off by itself when energy reaches 0, it'll keep draining energy from 1 to 0. You have to toggle it manually. I've noticed it knocking back units when I have it on.

I think there is an issue with the inquisitorial stormtroopers grenade barrage ability when used in tandem with mines. They would lose energy as if they used the ability, but no grenades where fired. Not sure if this is an issue with the grenade launcher or the mines, because I didn't try without the mines. But just a heads up as I didn't save replay.

None of those tool-tip string errors are in 2.2 beta 2. Every code has a string and Blessed Aegis description says 0.35 health regeneration. The errors are probably caused by the old ELITE.ucs file, I did tell the current installer to delete it but check your GameAssets/Locale/English directory.

I can vouch for this, I had the exact same bug with the Inquisitorial Storm Troopers' Grenade Launchers.


Another bug: When I upgraded the Deamon Maul on the Chaos Raptors, the squad members lost their weapon models and a black box appeared on the Aspiring Champion.

Lord of Change isn't very satisfied with such tiny Chaos changes.

Are planned more changes for Chaos in successive betas?

Hi all,

Since the beta was released a few days ago I've played it quite extensively and, although it is too early to make any definitive conclusions, a few balance issues are IMO standing out as needing another look at.

Chaos Sorcerer Subjugate
The Sorcerer's subjugate is now quite redundant. I have tried to make it work in its new form, I really have. I appreciate that the subjugate/abyss combo was just broken but making the targeted squad immune to damage cancels out all other combos like setting raging hugbots on them/allied manti strikes/blastmaster ground attack/etc and it was the potential for these kinds of combos that, for me, made the wargear situationally worth the 150/50 investment. I know there are still a thousand and one uses for controlling an enemy squad of your choice, but it does not last particularly long and does not justify the cost at all.
Suggestion - Preferably revert to 2.1 state, or if not decrease cost to ~100/30. If reverting then if possible tweak it to reduce damage from abyss to 0.25. Dunno if this is possible though.

Chaos Predator - Nurgle
The 0.5 health regen on a vehicle is pretty useless...the huge pitfall for this upgrade is you are investing expensively into something extremely specialised and sacrificing all av potential. How on earth can you justify this choice against the beast that is the MoK predator, or better yet leaving it vanilla unless you need hard av and then get a MoT pred?
Suggestion - Increase health regen extensively, to 1.5 at least, or make it a free but permanent upgrade (even then I doubt you'd see it much but at least it would have a purpose in life...)

Webway Gates
I do not want these to be not worth the investment or never seen, however the hit they have taken so far in the beta has not solved the problem at all. The issue is the insane map control they provide coupled with just op squad wipe potential; giving more co for killing them is a nice perk but neither discourages nor sufficiently punishes flagrant spamming of gates. A longer build time is nothing more than a minor inconvenience for the Eldar player. Please take the opportunity to finally get these fixed.
Suggestion - Increase cost to 75 red & only allow the respective player's units to use the gates (though the second potential fix is from a 2v2 perspective, gates are actually more of a problem in 1v1 IMO)

Wraithlord Brightlance
100% fotm is very strong. It chases vehicles so hard it's practically impossible to kite. Worth remembering it loses no splash damage, i.e. anti-infantry potential, from buying the Brightlance unlike other walkers when given an av weapon.
Suggestion - I'm actually ok with this as I thought the previous Brightlance was underperforming, but not quite at the current 100/40 price. 130/40 please :)

Lord General Stabilisers
1.5 health regen per model is still ott. It makes 3x gu easily the best starting point for an IG army in any game mode. Don't want to name anyone but there's been more than one game I've seen in the last few days where superior micro from a very strong player has literally counted for nothing against a blob of guardsmen being healed by this thing. It should not be an "I winzz like every engagement with my super duper attakk moove skillzzz" button.
Suggestion - Reduce health regen to 0.5, leave the cost the same.

I know it is early but I have been playing the hell it of this beta and I think all of these are outstanding issues.

The game where I used the heal, after which you called me a lamer without even checking out the changelog, I was microing a Storm squad with Meltas individually, a Manticore, focused Plasma GM to HI stuff and Flame GM to Tics and ~ units (while losing the third squad to focused fire while they were under heal in fact). You lost the game because of the IG nuke (which I still believe is OP) and a few successful Manticor barrages on stuff which was bottlenecked - which killed about 30-40% percent of your armies. My point is that your argument about inferior micro to superior one is rather stupid (if I see the way you draw conclusions from one game I can suppose you will do it that way in other similar situations), even though you might be right about it still being op. Your proposed solution is silly though, as it renders a rather expensive t1 item nearly useless and the value is absolutely not the problem here. The only problem with the LG armor is that it still seems like the values don't get halved when units under effect are in combat, and it still affects non-IG units which gives it insane advantage in team games.

Please make the portrait switching an option.
Entering buildings or using transports is making me go coocoo.

Or make it so that it doesn't switch positions when using garrisons/transports
(Already being looked into if I'm not mistaking)
And make your hero fixed on position 1 regardless of group he gets placed in.

Subjugate - yup, totally agree with you on this, it's really rather crappy now. Not even worth it. Really didn't see it being much of a problem in the first place. Yes, it was obnoxious, but it was just as counterable as warp throw but it was t3 and cost a hell of a lot more than warp throw. Don't understand the justification for this change at all tbh.

Gates - Agreed, 75 red cost on topof the current changes, however stopping allies from using them is not necessary I don't think, especially since there will be fewer due to their higher cost.

Nurgle predator - Disagree. This thing is really strong at the moment and that health regen is extremely useful, it just stacks wonderfully over time, I mean sure it won't usually mean you can out-tank damage or anything but overall it makes it very durable alongside the melee resistance and the bonus hp. The tank fills a nice role atm I think, basically serving as a anti infantry weapon platform akin to the land raider redeemer but of course toned down. It's great if you already have some AV from t2 and get to t3 first. Loving this thing at the moment.

WL BL - Yeah, this thing is a bit silly in my opinion. It makes transport play against eldar pretty futile, not to mention when supported by the farseer the WL suddenly becomes a hard counter to t3 tanks and walkers (fortune/doom/guide). I mean the brightlance does cost a fair amount, I would suggest just toning down the damage slightly so that the WL can't kill transports/tanks instantly with guide etc, maybe 10%?

Stabilisers - Yup, this wargear is still OP. I mean the armour was not intended to be used in combat for a reason. The ability to heal your entire army which is pretty much 100% ranged and full of high model-low hp squads is just ridiculous really. It's simply outright too powerful. Ever since the change was made to make it affect units in combat it has been bad. I would suggest decreasing the price of to 25 power and making it restore energy and hp but only outside of combat, making it a good synergy with chimeras/long-winded VP camping scenarios/catachans/storms, also decrease the energy cost of it to 30.

I'm really not a fan of the 'make gates more expensive' idea people have.

So i was thinking, what if gates were accessible to the enemy as well? So if someone bothers to send a spotter round the map and finds a gate, he'll be able to enter it and see where all the gates are and if he's quick also move his own forces quickly through the webway. Would need to add a self-destruct or scuttle button to the webway gate as well though i think. With a timer for how long it takes to scuttle. say 5 seconds.

if the fotm damage of the bright lance is too high at 100 and too low at 50 try 75.

i'm against letting everyone into gates because of the lore, and because it would become a cluster fuck.

i hate subjugate and i want it gone. it takes a fight and gives one player a net loss of two units because he lost one and is now fighting an additional enemy one. in addition it breaks the balance system that dow2 has because the game has so many specialized counters.

But warp throw does the exact same thing, costs less, is in t2 and is easier to execute. Also 75% makes sense.

You can retreat out of warp throw also it doesn't let you exhaust all abilities. A few days ago I lost a warp spider squad that was teleported behind enemy chaos termies, csm, tics and plague marines.

If people really feel the ability needs a buff then let me suggest 15 s duration instead of 10.

Retreating does not warrant a counter in the slightest. Effectively it makes warp throw a longer ranged menacing visage that has an aoe in t2. Or, you lose squads to eldar shenanigans.

I hardly find subjugate any stronger than purgatus/commy basilisk/'eavy armour. It costs a lot and requires the sorceror to be at the frontlines and immobilises him.

Well if your point is that warp throw is bullshit then I would agree. It's too entrenched in dow2 at this point to be removed and it's all flashy and eldar and shit but some very ridiculous things can be done with it.

If you're orkz you could probably counter it by over dere'ing your units away before the throw is cast. :-P

Another way to buff subjugate would be to make the sorcerer invulnerable for the duration of the spell, however I suspect the cost may need to be increased to 200/50 to justify that.

In all honestly it was fine before, but if things are to kept as they are now, just give it more range, so that the sorcerer can still be killed if it's careless or abit harder to reach if used at max range.

WL BL - Yeah, this thing is a bit silly in my opinion. It makes transport play against eldar pretty futile, not to mention when supported by the farseer the WL suddenly becomes a hard counter to t3 tanks and walkers (fortune/doom/guide). I mean the brightlance does cost a fair amount, I would suggest just toning down the damage slightly so that the WL can't kill transports/tanks instantly with guide etc, maybe 10%?


it's impossible to use any kind of transport vs eldar now, their own transport already countered the others and now the WL does too, aswell as it counters tanks, as things stand now in a mirror it's better to get a WL with brightlance to take down an enemy fireprism, damage on the move should be reduced by 25%-50%, damage while standing still should stay the same.
