EA Staff (Retired)Welcome Stephen to the ever continuing telling of low level folks that GDI counters exist at higher levels and that level unlock changes are a better answer than nerfing well balanced units.
I'm sorry to say it never stops, people either don't listen or new people show up having just gotten into the alpha and don't read any old posts that answer questions/solve their problems.
All this said, I do actually still give nod the slight edge over GDI, but not for lack of counters, more because Jade is honestly the best commander in the game right now, which has little to do with her, really its a map balance thing, several high level maps (Hi Broken Mesa) utterly imbalance her otherwise fine ability.
Yes, everybody that doesn't agree with your delusional assessment must be "low level"
You couldn't just be wrong 🙄
Both you kids are probably beating up on actual low level opponents and pretending your obvious advantage is the same as game balance
🙄 disagreeing with you doesn't mmake me "aggressive"
Grow a sense of humor
Nod cyborgs eat the sandstorm and jjsut about every other gdi unit for lunch. Combined with Kane's obelisks which pretty much instakill everything, gdi can't win unless the nod player is especially bad.
I'd love to hear how youre supposedly countering that though.
And my point was that dismissing everyone input as invalid based on the asinine presumption that they're just too low level to counter what they perceive to be overpowered is fallacious.
I'm making myself plenty useful offering feedback that actual actually matters while you're just here telling everyone else why they're wrong which helps no one.
Thanks for your concern though sweetie 😘
Some units still need tweaking as they counter units that are supposed to actually counter them. Example here
Flame tanks actually counter scorpion tanks and bikes very well. Tried this and failed.
I'll post more later as I have time
Figured after reaching another milestone of Level 10 I would give some feedback on what I have witnessed and experience from my matches. First off I would like to say the balance changes made to the Rockworm and Orca were very appreciated and has made them a lot less overwhelming to face, especially now that you can actually punish the Rockworm and it does not instantly reburrow. The Orca reload time increase was very needed and I would say it was the best change made, however the speed decrease was perhaps a bit much as I now find that the Orca has trouble running from many of its counters like the Talon, Pitbull and Attack Bikes which is good for counterplay and definitely makes you have to play very tactical with them as they are a lot more fragile than they used to be. I especially liked the changes to the Missile Squads, Laser Squads and Attack BIkes as it makes them feel like they can really tackle and contribute damage now. I would however like to mention that while Missile Squads and Laser Troopers got an increase to their initial attack time and subsequent attacks, I feel the Jumpjet Troopers got left out and they suffer from that rigid attack time that the previous anti vehicle infantry used to suffer so perhaps giving them a similar treatment would be an idea as I don't think it would make them too strong seeing as they are a strictly anti vehicle infantry.
I have definitely been enjoying the GDI Kodiak as it feels like they combined the best qualities of the Titan and Sandstorm into one air unit, which I have been loving so no complains. Didn't get it early enough when it was still 110 Tiberium but I must say that price was a little cheap for the fact that it is basically an aerial version of a Titan with the firing arc of a Sandstorm. I am not sure how to feel on Colonel Jackson as his Heroic Charge Attack Speed and Movement Speed increase can be a little too advantageous at times as it realistically increases the DPS of the unit and may it allow a unit to win a battle it should not have because of it but I am guessing that is the point of the ability in the first place, curious to unlock Oxanna Kristos considering a 40% increase in movement and attack speed already is quite strong, I can only imagine what a 75% increase is like.
Having gotten to unlock the Nod Artillery and GDI M.R.L.S on the same day, I can say that I enjoyed them a fair bit as well. The Nod Artillery I think is quite monstrous seeing as it is good against infantry (at base level of 5 with no training it two shots Tech Lab/Temple of Nod elite infantry like the Confessor Cabals, Cyborgs and Zone Troopers. One shots most basic infantry at or one level above it!), vehicles (this one I haven't gotten to try too much but from the damage around 2-3 shots for any vehicle) and structures (easily destroys the Minigun turret in one shot and Obelisk of Light in two shots, along with heavy base damage each shell does around 1/8 of the base HP). The GDI MRLS is similar in that it is exceptional against vehicles and structures almost on par with Nod's Artillery, however I think it may be a little too effective on infantry in that one barrage takes just about any infantry squad to half health with about 2-3 barrages to fully eliminate a squad. I can say they serve as a good defender and offensive unit but can easily create a very entrenched position that may be hard to defeat once paired with other late game units. Have not gotten to try the GDI Disruptor Tank but hopefully it shows up soon enough in the card shop or through a chest.
Regarding the overall unit balance I would say it is going fairly well at the moment, my only complaint is that perhaps GDI Rhino and Talon along with Nod Raider Buggy and Venom could us a bit of a damage increase as currently they get out DPS'd by the basic GDI Rifleman and Nod Militants of the same level by a fair amount which does not make a lot sense as how does a vehicle with a mounted heavy machine gets outdamaged by a squad of men with assault rifles. Also perhaps the GDI Wolverine could use an increase in its damage as it also gets out DPS'd by its counterpart the Nod Confessor Cabal by a fair margin. To put it into perspective the level 5 untrained Confessor Cabal Squad does 315 DPS to the level 6 untrained Wolverine which does 242 DPS! I don't know about you but I don't see how a unit one level higher is doing less DPS than one that is almost identical but one rank lower, sure the level 6 Wolverine has 4275 HP to Level 5 Confessor Cabal 2505 HP (if anyone has the level 6 base Confessor Cabal health along with DPS value that would help further this discussion) but I don't think having greater survivability should leave the Wolverine out DPS'd with the fact it is a vehicle with far heavier gattling guns than could ever be utilized by an infantry force.
Unit AI is trash in this game.
If i tell something to attack another unit it shouldn't just give up if the unit moves a square away.
it should get to the area and decide ti should attack something else instead either.
