2.9 Beta 1 - Preview changelog

2.9 - Beta 1 Welcome to the 2.9 beta changelog. I’m Cyris, the new balance lead on the ELITE project. While the techpriests are putting together a early build with this first beta, I wanted to share the working changelog, and open comments up.

Re: Nid Economy - Suggestion to Balance Things Out

I like these ideas and have begun integrating some of them.

Step one is "fixing" the horma/terma upkeep. A lot starts cascading after that.

Re: Renoding power

Nodes give partial refund? That's nonsense! If we can't make them cost full price, I'll be in favor of a short delay. This is a silly place for an apm fight. Fight on the battlefield, not a footsies dance. Auto-targeting nodes will never come back under my watch. The reasons have been correctly expl...

Re: Raptor's Power Fist and Melta Gun

The only problem I have with the AC is how he gets both a solid AV package on top of his surprisingly strong AI ability (Daemonic Fury) and T2 scaling all for one price point.

On the flip side, he's a leader who can die, and I generally think Raptors preform worse then ASM in T1.

Re: Using "Without Number"

I agree the knockback is annoying. But it really does a good job refilling your capping army for a reasonably low price. I spend all my power on fexes, and squeeze without number inbetween to get more gaunts for capping. It makes for a nice "beginning of T3" timing as well. Works a lot bet...

Re: Banshees Melee Skill too high?

God I miss you Codex. Banshees are mostly fine imo. Their attack speed is average for melee btw, 1.3s per attack. Sluggas and Warriors are 1s, KCSM and ASM are 1.3s. If anything, I agree their hp could go down a bit. The 360 special is pretty nuts. Maybe a little less knockback distance or damage on...

I fucking love the idea of swapping FC teleporter for a jetpack.

A lot of very reasonable points about the Apo brought up here, though I'm personally not in favor of him getting enhanced mobility.

Re: drop pods

If anything, maybe increase the red cost by 25 if you really need a justification for SM saving 100 req on a Tactical Squad. 2 notes on that: 1- SM getting even 100 red in T1 can be hard, so increasing the red cost will quickly remove this ability from T1 viability. 2- The pod costs 300 req, which ...

I'd still use it plenty at that cost, but it won't be as efficient.

This is rhetorical, but you do know that Scouts attack once per second, so 12 damage per hit means 12 dps, which is TRIPLE their current dps and damage per hit of 4, right?
