he wait is almost over. Patch 1.3 arrives Tuesday, May 12th at 11 am, Pacific Standard Time!
===============================
Patch 1.3.1
===============================
New Content
• Two on Two game mode is now available for ranked play.

• We have added a benchmarking performance test; you can find it in the Graphics options tab.
• There are eight new sync kill animations in the game. Keep your eyes open for some new carnage!

Also die Patchnotes lesen sich gut. Hoffentlich wird die AI nicht besser als ein menschlicher Gegner wenn einer Dropped.
Weiß man welche Stärke die AI hat die für einen übernimmt?
Wie schauts denn mit der Balance aus, ist da auch was drin oder sind das wirklich alle Änderungen?

Anscheinend sind die Gameplay Bug Fixes eine nette Umschreibung für Balanceänderungen.
• Tankbusta targeting priorities have been improved, now prefer to target vehicles.
Dadurch vergeuden sie hoffentlich nicht mehr ihre Schüsse für Scouts oder ähnliches.
• Squads now unload from a vehicle when it is destroyed.
Sehr schön, man sieht jetzt sicher mehr Transporter die auch wirklich Truppen transportieren
• Adjusted refund costs on the Webway gate.
Mehr Webwaygates.
• Adjusted refund costs on the Techmarine’s Space Marine Heavy Bolter turret.
Mehr Techmarinespieler und mehr Türme
• Fixed a bug where a melee leaping unit would follow a teleporting or jumping unit a long distance.
Nicht mehr sinnloses ich verfolg dich bis in den Tod.
• Fixed Warp Spider Exarch Enhanced Warp Generator and Improved War Generator.
Quasi ein Buff für den WSE.
• Adjusted Scything Talon knockback and suppression.
Krieger werden nochmals generved bzw. ich weiß grad nicht welche Tyra Einheiten das nutzen.
• Fixed a pathing problem on (6p) Typhon Arena.
Wenigsten 1 Pathing Problem weniger.
• Put a build time on Ravener Tunnels. Tunnels are also vulnerable during construction.
Hoffentlich sieht man wo die Tunnel entstehen werden. So kann man sie zerstören wenn sie zu nah an eine Armee gebaut werden.

laut Relic ist das aber ein Bug und nicht so gewollt^^
Sonst würde es unter der Kategorie: PvP Gameplay stehen
und nicht unter: Gameplay Bug Fixes
Aber wie schon gesagt, muss man ja nicht so eng sehen. ^^

Gut, meine Orks werden dank dem Wargear vom Ravener halt immernoch in Sekundenbruchteilen gelyncht aber naja. Immerhin scheinen die Tunnel jetzt weniger zu nerven.
Ein Pathing Problem auf Typhoon ist ja ganz nett.. bleiben halt noch so knapp 500.
Werd mal probieren obs wieder Spaß macht, wollte meinem Xbox Account eh noch ein paar MP Achievements freispielen, der hat bisher nur SP Achievements. Vielleicht springt der Funken ja wieder über.

wenn die schon ne bau zeit für die tunnel machen dann sollten sie aber die tunnel auch nen bisschen stärken von der panzerung , denn wenn die auch weiterhin so schwach gepanzert bleiben wird nach dem patch wohl keiner mehr den tunnelbauer spielen

Es wird den Tunnelbauer keiner mehr spielen wie bisher.
Einfach seine ganze Armee in die Feindarmee schicken geht dann nicht mehr. Man muss sie dann einfach dahinbauen wo sie nicht gleich gesehen bzw zerschossen werden.
Ich finde die Änderung gut, es ist ja nur eine kleine Änderung aber mit einer hoffentlich großen Wirkung.
Die Tunnel sollten außerdem schon immer so sein und wenn man es ganz eng sehen würde, dann haben viele Tyras einfach einen Bug abused.
Das die Orks nicht geändert wurden war eigentlich klar. Obwohl ich mittlerweile der Meinung bin, dass wenn das Ork T2 gebuffed wird, sie schon fast etwas OP sein könnten. Aber die Stormboys müssten billiger werden oder mehr DMG oder Hp haben.

Sicherlich wird der Ravener noch gespielt, solang die Tunnelbauzeit keine übertriebene Zeit bekommt.
Und du schickst ja den Tunnel nicht zwingend direkt hinter die Feindarmee, du kannst ja auch an einer anderen Stelle durch einen Wald oder so buddeln und dann von hinten rumlaufen - das geht ja ohne Probleme.
Ob bug oder nicht, für mich war das nie ein Bug - das war einfach so und fertig. Schließen brauchen die Teleporter von Mekboy und Warspider ja auch keine " Teleportierzeit " oder sowas.
Das NACH dem Tunnelbau dann andere Units den Tunnel nutzen können, ist halt ein nettes feature und ich denke die Klassen sollten sich da auch unterscheiden und daher fand ichs ganz lustig.
Schließlich hat der Ravener ja keine Minen, womit er Eingänge dicht machen kann, bzw hat er auch keinen Gruppen-Buddel-Fähigkeit ala Warpspider welche zudem noch eine sehr hohe(!) reichweite hat.
Aber nun gut wenn sie ihn anpassen wollen, müssen sie das tun - mir egal.
Bin momentan eh auf einem Lictor aka Hero Killer Trip
Zu den Orcs, ja die Stormboyz sind nen ganz schöner Witz aber wenn beim Orc das Fast-Tech klappt, kann er trotzdem gut reinhauen.
Aber die Stormboyz sollten schon was gebufft werden da habt ihr recht.
So long...
