[@cron1807]

Vraks seems to really like the Farsight Enclaves

[@SuperChalm]

I love the FE they are a very interesting idea that feels good to play

[@Athos42]

As in all matches I saw so far... if a player manages to get rid of the FE's heroes or goes vehicle-heavy, the Enclave can't do much and looses. The longer the match goes, the smaller are their chances to win, they get out-ressourced and stomped.

Lore-accurate endless tides of guardsmen

[@herobronerm1891]

this game is great! let's not forget that Farsight Enclave is a new faction and still needs learning to make something up. the update literally was a couple of days ago, so some mistakes made by Farsight Enclaves are common... and yet still Vrax made a great play harassing Kykuy at the beginning.. I really thought that The guardsmen will loose this one. on the other hand i think Kykuy was going easy on Vrax... He had more than enough opportunity to make a T3 or some stronger units to fight, but to the end did not make up his huge amounts of resources he had on him.

[@haroldjohnson1502]

Yes, very difficult. Imp Guard much easier mode

[@haroldjohnson1502]

Tier 1 Imp G. Tier 2 Enclave. Tier 3 Imp G.

[@vraxkin5611]

I'm just going to make this very clear to everyone commetning FE are weak. they are not. I made clear micro mistakes. Lost too many suits to the vindicare. I have plenty of replays of me beating people with FE that are 7-10 mins long. We only ever send casts that are good and last 20mins or longer. The 3x3 we played earlier showcases CD not getting appropriate nerfs. The herald of khorne has high damage to everything currently. So please don't make blanket statements we are all still learning the factions. But overall FE are in a strong position. I'd say if anything they are too strong t2. They need to be harassed. and that's what kekuy did he harassed my buildings.

[@Drolkrad1725]

Thanks for all the insight and great replays! Do you know why Harliquins are so unpopular?

[@vraxkin5611]

@@Drolkrad1725 Uh it's not that they're unpopular just no one really plays em. I still have to get my hands around em they got loads of goodies. one of the guys does play them well i could ask him for some 1x1s

[@flutterbaws9579]

As much as they go against the conventional setup most of the other factions do with how they scale and build, FE definitely seem like they are gonna "appear" to suffer from being weak largely in part to the fact that it is a new, unexplored playstyle that is going up against more established, mainstay playstyles (IG in this games case which has been around since vanilla) so there are tricks and build orders that still need to be explored. I only really play DoW against bots so I can't speak much on MP metas, but I think FE is undoubtedly gonna face heavy skepticism because it is something that hasn't been tried before. That's not to shut down those with criticisms as they may turn out to need buffs in some areas or a change here or there later on, but I don't doubt their unconventional style is contributing to the negative reception at least somewhat. Time will tell.

[@fuggles2kUnification]

@@flutterbaws9579 They are actually very popular and people enjoy playing them which is the main thing. They were over powered in development (possibly still are) so I had to scale it back, and it will no doubt take a bit to hit that sweet spot as they are so different, but I'm sure it's possible. This being unification/internet there are people wanting this to fail or to mock those who try anything different, as I can only presume they want a reskinned tau army. Once you've worked on 35 armies, it's nice to do something different.

[@flutterbaws9579]

@@fuggles2kUnification Honestly I am glad to know they are popular because I love how experimental and unique the faction is. Its extremely creative and opens up a lot of potential for the game going forward I feel. Also, dang, I didn't consider there were those many factions until I bothered to count them. This faction must have been a breath of fresh air lol. Great stuff, man. You and the team keep up the good work!

[@sebastijanglozinic8630]

Farsight Enclaves have TWO essential commander upgrades in tier 2. One that boosts their healing rate and one that boosts their overall HP. Those two upgrades are a MUST as soon as you reach tier 2.

[@marcolino269]

Very thematic battle: the few fighters of the Enclave against the might of the Imperial Guard. I believe FE faction has its potential: when players will understand how to protect the landing sites and how to heal the heroes I think it will become a good pvp faction, still difficult to play and micro.

[@dutchvanderlinde248]

Considering Vrax himself is in the comment section vouching for the potential of the FE, im gonna believe him. Their early game IS seemingly horrendous though. Wish they had a way to heal whatever commander they start with so there could be more t1 action rather than butthole puckering with a red healthed farsight where you lose the game if he dies.

[@stevenbigland6193]

If you do the bingo card, for the love of the Emperor put it out on a Friday or Saturday! A hangover on Monday is not a good idea...

[@ivandurega9336]

I really think the crisis suits need a buff that allows them some durability due to how expensive they are. That or fix the way they get their weapons. Other units can choose how the weapons instantly while the crisis suits have to "tier up" their weapons. For me really breaks the flow. So many time I just get new crisis suits and have to wait atleast 1-2 minutes just getting their weapons to the plasma state only to get snipe in one shot

[@nudeood]

I think this is spot on FE are fun to play and I don't think underpowered, in fact they feel incredibly snowballly. But the lack of instant access to anti-vehicle really hurts. Having to go through all the weapons on Crisis suits doesn't make sense at all. If they change it to just be separate options (even with really high costs) I think that single fix will improve the faction massively

[@yura_pepsicola]

It's said in the game that Gue'vesa equipped better than Imperial Guardsmen, so now we can know it for sure.

[@maxpresto]

FE needs T2 nerf. IG could’ve lost this very easily

[@vladline1882]

Yey... Another Farsight lost again.. what a strong faction. Lmao

[@vraxkin5611]

Dude I made too many micro mistakes. First mistake was not getting arrakon earlier i made a poor descions in placing my landing flares and delayed arrakon for 2 mins than usual. lost 8 crisis suits alone + a commadner to the Vindicare. I also made stupid decsions bleeding my models to the point the guevesa were meleeing. When I jumped into his base also itwas a deciding factor too . Put too many of my models in the red. I should have jsut pushed slowly on the left took out his lp's and gens. I have 4 replays alone that are 7-10mins long winning as FE. We only send casts that are over 20mins long. If you wish I can send you the replays via discord.

[@Dragondeeznutz-zh5ob]

Tfw the new faction that people are still learning are losing against the faction that people have been playing for years 😮

[@koca987]

Yeah Farsight Enclave is to broken and creepled, you can't make something like this for RTS game.

[@nooneatall1830]

Either they buff them or the players find a cheese strat with them really. Everything is still new so it'll take some time before people figure out something

[@fuggles2kUnification]

Maybe you can't.
