Wait, does this mean that there will be a new Soviet Act 2 mission we didn't know about yet?

 

Actually Speeder answered on Twitter:

 

"Yes, another mission between 'Earthrise' and 'Death's Hand' will be added in the future update."

[Speeder]

It doesn't affect the main story in any major way and I wanted to add one more mission at the end of Soviet Act Two.

[PACER]

Perhaps some battle-walker solo level? Centurion definitely deserves presence in the campaign, (one way or another ).

[TheWankBank]

Oh nice, new missions, cool.

[HollowVoid]

Waiting for Foehn Mission Be like....

First things first... This is ridiculously misleading...

Spoiler

To get to the point, these guys need a decent buff, to be honest. Range advantage isn't gonna help much when they are helpless against almost everything else except for dogs/spooks. At least give them some anti-infantry damage buff or just render them immune to T1-2 vehicle crushing... There's way too many times they couldn't even do their job properly because their damage is way too low and then they will just get crushed by almost any MBTs/miners which doesn't even need to fire at them or people just used T1 infantry to mow them down effortlessly. 

 

For comparison's sake:

Lancers have immunity to dogs/spooks and T1-2 vehicle crushing + Anti-Vehicle/Structure capability + High Health

Pyros have Anti-Infantry/Structure splash damage + Lower Cost

Duneriders have similar range + immunity to T1-2 vehicle crushing + Anti-Infantry/Structure splash damage + Amphibious capability + Higher Speed

 

P.S.: By the way, they cost $500 each and yet they can't even do what they (are only supposed to) specialise in, which is... well... Anti-Structure? Hello?

Range advantage isn't a bad thing

Surfers are too good right now but there is a price nerf in 3.3.2 (+100) and foehn T1... well you know it is foehn

That line is highly misleading tho

You are supposed to use ggis to avoid tank crush. But they could use that change

They also need an HP buff (something around 10-15%) but maybe they are fine cause medics

They are quite fast

Their damage against infantry is fine, they are highly specialized building killers, you have seal/seal ifv for anti infantry. Don't expect to build tons of this guys and do well, but having some is quite handy in an assault.

 

In my eyes ggis are a bit too good at killing buildings and that is why siege cadre is quite underused

I have a big, a really big... suggestion

 

Remove the ability to use support powers on allies
This would help to have less broken stuff in team games

I have another suggestion about team games: Restrict things like Chimera chore, Gap generator, Sensor Tower, Signal Inhibitor, Nanocoat Regulator and Iron Guard to be buildable only in a large radius around your own MCV and nothing else. The ability to support your allies using those can make the game incredibly slow and campy. As team play element, it is quite bland honestly. And more often ends preventing true interesting team plays -No need for actual moves.
Of course, there is a work around in the game options
But being able to build things near your allies and help them is quite important in team games -something like hiding your tech in another base, build defenses to repel a rush, help them to expand and so on

 

Both changes point to one direction: more emphasis on classic gameplay and individual value.
Those are my thoughts, thanks

I don't think this logic holds up. You can't defend one while saying the other has to stay in. And it can't, because lovely engine won't allow it to happen.

[TeslaCruiser]

Well, defenses are quite similar across factions. And these other things are retarded combos. But no need for a better argument if it can't be done

[TheWankBank]

I +1 the Seige Cadre change.

Ohey, briefings for Act 2. Finally!

[TheWankBank]

What? briefings announced? where?

[qymon]

* fixed: improved "Modified files detected! This person could be cheating!" red message reliability, pay attention to it!!

yeah

can't wait to see it

[Derxwna Kapsyla]

What? briefings announced? where?

 

It's in the change log, just do a ctrl+f search for "briefings". I've gotten a good portion done, but they're not all finished yet! They should, however, be in 3.3.2 when done.

[UNSC THE CHILL OF WAR]

Some of tje earlier act 2 missions have briefings

by 'some' you mean one, which is Awake and Alive...

...which only has a few lines

[pikachu11]

- nerf: Target Painter armor decrease changed from 25% to 20%, but duration was 'increased' to 12 seconds

but the website says the duration is 40 seconds. What's the actual duration?

Edited by pikachu11, 16 June 2017 - 02:06 PM.

[EtherealDark]

I think it meant duration was increased by 12 seconds, up to 52 seconds.
