2.2 beta

[Belutima]

Oke I'm kinda new to Elite but do I instal version 6 is that what everyone plays or is their another version in particular.

[Orkfaeller]

aye, beta 6 is the newest one

[crazyman64335]

not sure if anyone else's noticed, but the globals for GK are still mixed up. F3 is both their global silence and their Hellfury Strike. Little annoying to try and call in a hellfury and lose like 300 red

Last time I checked L was the hotkey for inquisitorial stormtroopers to purchase their sergeant leader and their grenade launcher upgrade which is frustrating.

It's on the bug list.

[Toilailee]

Revert mek turret.

[Bahamut]

Dunno where exactly to post bugs so i'll do it here. I had match as nid, at some point i had a fully upgraded hormaguant squad with t3 warrior, adrenal glands and endless swarm and in one of those engagements only the t3 warrior survived, the hormaguant squad went back to 8 models (9 with the warrior) and i was unable to repurchase endless swarm or reinforce and 2:1

Well there is a thread called "Bugs/Issues Thread" viewtopic.php?f=2&t=26 So I would suggest posting bugs generally there.

[Lulgrim]

Beta 7 released.

[Torpid]

Yes! The flamer up to 25seconds, thank you so much for that change it was soooo warranted.

[Torpid]

Purification rites, but they don't start with it, they only get it when they have their justicar.

[Shas'el Doran'ro]

I tested out the new GK and it looks good.

Lulgrim, when I see that Vindicare Assassin model, I instantly hear his voice he had in DoW1 in my head, please, just this once could you use a DoW1 voice asset for just 1 unit? Do you really think they'd come after you for just 1 voice over? Think about it at least.

Also I really think he should be able to infiltrate.

[Lulgrim]

Is the portrait thingie Thomas did implemented? Or do I need to bug him again to modify the file for me?
(this: http://dawnofwar.info/forum/viewtopic.p ... t=20#p9855)

I expect you can use the same file, no SCAR updates in this patch.

"Purifiers now start with "Purification" (Strike Squad ability)"

Which one?

The snare that snares and drains enemy energy (Energy burst) or the one that gives energy to a friendly squad (purification rites)?

The one that's called 'Purification', not the Apo accessory...

I have no way to add new voices at the moment, and I'm not ripping DoW1 voices either.

Vindicare Assassin deals 100 dmg per shot with his anti vehicle rounds to dreadnoughts? really?.

Doesn't seem balanced, at all. The unit can still perform very well as anti-infantry and does that much damage to a dread when he switches rounds? seems OP since you lot have determined that if a unit can do multiple things too well it should be nerfed.

You have to think about how fragile this unit is, he has no infiltration currently so he is easy to spot, if you are playing a race that can get snipers of their own, it's more than enough to handle him, he'll splatter really quick if you shoot at him with basically anything.

[Lulgrim]

except purifiers energy transfer still greyed out regardless of justicar purchase?

I forgot to update the requirement, ATM it still unlocks only when you have a Strike Justicar in the squad, which obviously will not happen to Purifiers.

Was it intentional for Vindicare assassin to have 325 hp & only 2 abilities...? Is there more utilities added to him in the 2.2 Release? He doesn't cloak when he stands stand. The purgation hasn't recieved their new "ability" yet

[Darkbulborb]

Did the warboss get his taunt ability with the spiky armor? Was really looking forward to test that

[Indrid]

Please check the notes, only the things there made it into Beta 7.

[Commissar Yarrick]

Would it be possible to give Cyrus voice to the vindicare assassin? Would alot more sense than scout voice. (Not tested out the new update yet)

[GrimReaper]

Would be good except for when he says "Cyrus here"

[Orkfaeller]

yeah, make use of the Campaign Voices, how hard would it be to "convert" them into Multiplayer?

- also if possible, maybe Thule for VenDread ? -

[Indrid]

I doubt they'll have all the appropriate lines for an MP unit.

[Forestradio]

I doubt they'll have all the appropriate lines for an MP unit.

The Cyrus lines are pretty good for everything.

"The Tyranids are already here. We cannot delay."

"Sending in ordinance."

etc
etc

[Lulgrim]

Beta 8 released, notes in starting post. Update patch (8 MB) this time.

[Blessed Spartan]

sweet nice changes!, hopefully the Vk wont be worth half an army

ummm was my map updated?

[Shas'el Doran'ro]

The Inquisitorial Storm Troopers have been using the Heretics' grenade launcher models for a while now, I thought it was about time they finally got the imperial models(see the ones the Lord General uses, also in campaign), the tooltip for the IST grenade launcher upgrade is also still the one from the heretics' upgrade.
The Kasrkin also use the spiked Heretic grenade launchers and not the Imperial ones.

I also noticed that the Raptors use Imperial Melta guns, but I don't know if there is a Chaos Melta gun model, perhaps from the campaign?

[Faultron]

,Inquisitorial Storm Trooper Sergeant now wields a laspistol & a chainsword'

is this only visual change or it does change the dps values as well?

[Orkfaeller]

His DPS is down a bit, I dont think youre going to notice anything.

[Lulgrim]

Squad melee damage remains the same overall but is now more centered on the Sergeant (from 17% to 38%). The absolute numbers are small though, not a big deal.
