Ok so design is difficult sometimes, but the crossed swords on the balance-of-power bar seems to be intentionally placed to hide the most interesting part. I mean, it's the small changes when the game hangs in the balance that are important. Baffling.
@utgardloki59394 жыл бұрын
I find the swords rather usefull: The crossed swords are helping to determine were the real middle is in the balance of power (bop). The crossed swords are drawing a V in which corner the middle lies. So, when the battle is really close you can see with one look, if the bop is slightly favored to one side, in which case the bar isn't laying in the corner of the V. An other way to achieve this, without blocking any part of the bar, would be to draw a line or an arrow right in the middle of it. But I find the sword solution aesthetical better.
@BKSF14 жыл бұрын
I like it because of that actually, it means that when the battle's joined it's not so easy to tell exactly which way it's going to swing if you're a player. As an observer you can carefully look at it and see, but as a player all you see is the clashing swords which is all you need to see if the fight's still that close.

@@Scottmw14 Aye, not sure why Coast ranged units outnumber even Skaven ranged units. Doesn't seem very logical to me. Besides lowering the numbers of Handguns, they also need to nerf Bombers and Luthor's Pistol + Melee shenanigans that can he pull off simultaneously. Then we can also look into buffing the poopy Coast units, like Depth Guard with Halberds.

@@misterpig7739 The thing is countering this army and its variation isn't really a thing most races can do as they may not have the tools for it. If you want to see Coast lose you pretty much need to have them face dwarf which is the hardcounter or more even-ish match ups like the other undeads, the High elves or the empire but these aren't counters just the races who struggle the less amongs all. Clever army buildings and micro has its limits when your opponent doesn't rout, have high HP pool all accross the board, crazy firepower and on top of it good monsters, summons and mobility to secure the firepower. A firepower that sometimes doesn't needs protection because one compromised unit can get the help of the rest of the gunline.

@reym_82294 жыл бұрын
@@markiv2942 It depends, most of the time yes you will end up with similar builds with variations (different artillery, maybe an air squad of deck droppers you got the idea). But you got some really different builds in some MU. Some coast player vs the empire will actually go for a cylostra+crab+etheral rush with some dogs for mobility and a very reduced core of skirmisher (if they take any). So yeah you either got your army where 75% of your VP build is pretty much the same as it use the same core units in various proportions the rest some specialised unit adapted for the match up, or, "surprise" builds. My point in my previous comment was mainly that even if your option in term of playstyle may be narrow it doesn't counterack the fact that if it is a really strong against most races well most will struggle anyway.

Honestly, vampire coast won few very lucky matches against great players that usually do not commit those crucial mistakes. Aero lost his healing powers, magic and lord in the first 2 minutes, and still put out a decent fight. Xyphos forgot about Gibson on Nocti for half match, sucided the waywatchers few seconds later by literally marching them forward their death, and even forgot about few units chasing dead doggos literally few clicks away from the main fight. Coast strengths are many, but there is also less margin for great plays, therefore great players on other races can still outplay their peers on Coast... not this time it seems, but still, I do not see Coast as dominating as it was in past tournaments.

@@PigreKo Agreed, while I myself do think that the Vampirates are a bit too strong and could use some nerfs (to Luthor and bombers mainly), we also have to remember that this was one of the best players (Enticity) in TW:W2 on his best faction and he was having one of his best days in a tournament, the guy was fighting like a man possessed, and he made little to no mistakes while his opponents made some substantial ones. VP is going to look absolutely broken when that happens.

First questions. When they reworked healing and for some time nowadays it affects only 4 units at the maximum. Is there any rule or pattern that the units are? The most expensive, most damaged, single entities have priority or it it adjusted randomly? Second one. What happened with Gobbo king? I remember him from Warhammer I as pernament participant in tournaments, quick battles versus Turin and he had his own channel. When Warhammer II was released he was appearing less and less and disappeared. Turin mentioned once long time ago he had some disputes with KZbin and deleted channel. Does anybody knows more? (I know there is player on competitive scene with similar name but that´s not Gobbo king).
@reym_82294 жыл бұрын
First question: We got the answer on forums from CA Duck at some point. Basicaly think about your stereotypical radar (though he said its a bit more complicated). It checks units closer to the center of the spell while going clockwise, first units detected the first healed. Second one: It's a bit of everything if I remember correctly. He got progressivly borred with youtube and the game while various real life stuff started adding up (work and stuff like that if I remember correctly). Though I'm not the one with the best infos so take it with a grain of salt.
