Sonic Rob: btw, do you have any thoughts on the 1.8 patch notes?
FyreHaar: I don’t think they should have upped the cost of tier III
FyreHaar: I will never get that shit now
Sonic Rob: I mostly don’t anyway
Sonic Rob: it means more time until preds start rolling out
FyreHaar: I fear no armour
Sonic Rob: they buffed lootas in a big way
Sonic Rob: bopped em down to tier 1
FyreHaar: they needed, they were fucking useless
Sonic Rob: for real
FyreHaar: All personal teleport abilities now start on cooldown
FyreHaar: read – eat shit and die WSE
Sonic Rob: read eat shit and die ravener
Sonic Rob: but stikks are even scarier now
Sonic Rob: stikks get stun bombs without an upgrade
Sonic Rob: that explode instantly
Sonic Rob: fuck me
Sonic Rob: that
Sonic Rob: is not good
FyreHaar: Big stomp works on Spore Mines
FyreHaar: thank Christ
Sonic Rob: did it not?
FyreHaar: Spore mines are the most overpowered unit in the game
FyreHaar: it did not
FyreHaar: yeah, but Stikks are now T2
FyreHaar: # Moved Lootas to T1, changed their damage to equal a Space Marine’s Heavy Bolter
FyreHaar: good good, make lootas suppression like they should be
FyreHaar: I don’t think Stikks needed all that
FyreHaar: I’ve seen some people just wreak havoc
FyreHaar: Scout shotgun knock back ability now causes suppression
FyreHaar: good
Sonic Rob: pretty scary
FyreHaar: Plasma gun damage reduced from 90 to 70
FyreHaar: thank christ
Sonic Rob: they upped a lot of costs too
FyreHaar: Plasma gun damage vs infantry reduced to .7 from 1
FyreHaar: ahh
FyreHaar: less tac plasma spam
FyreHaar: Spore Mines are now susceptible to melee attacks
FyreHaar: yes yes yes!!!!
FyreHaar: Added sound cue when a player drops from a match
FyreHaar: very good
FyreHaar: sometimes I miss a drop then wonder why we got fucked
Sonic Rob: ah, nice
Sonic Rob: yeah, plasma needed a nerf
FyreHaar: we will see, but all in all I am feeling pretty good about it
Sonic Rob: yeah, I’m wondering what this will do to the pace of a game
