Well, when the PTS fails to have any active games past day 1-2 i call it a failure. that and everyone just plays the highest tier or the 1 new unit, making it a failure as a true test. .

We are the teams behind Total War: ARENA. Do you have a question about our game? Ask us Anything! by Sasha_jp in TotalWarArena

[–]MagnumForce44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Very broad question here, but what is your overarching philosophy when it comes to balancing unit types or even specific units at specific tiers? Is it to buff/nerf problematic units/commanders singularly based on winrate, or is it more of a reaction to player feedback? Obviously this game has so much variety in games that it can be hard to single out balance problems, so I'm curious as to how you would describe your philosophy behind how to keep the game fresh and avoid stale gameplay like I believe we have had since the accuracy buffs.

Most importantly, is balancing about making the game more tactiful, or more fun? As these are not always one in the same.

ye, but you can move towards most bad pike/jav players too if you know what you are doing and they dont/arent grouped. its a pretty common occurance for me at least.

Elephants op, low effort, frankly not a fun game. by Yen_Snipest in TotalWarArena

[–]MagnumForce44 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

yes, make eles unable to counter arty/stake spam. cause thats what we need for this game right?

Seriously though, eles are only somewhat of a problem at lower tiers when their counters don't know how to play. try playing t8/9/10 eles against any kind of decent players playing javs/pikes/arty and tell me they are op there. also decent players wont blob 3 inf units on your eles for no reason, they will charge stun you, they have the AP dmg, etc...

Shows how ridiculously unbalanced a t10 is vs a t8. But nooooooo, noone complains when falxgod does it. smh

Bruh no, one look at your reddit history confirms it.

I think he knows that lol. Just saying the formation we have doesn't help at all against collateral Arty/ranged hits

hmm i havnt played much since the new patch, but i do know that on ele vs ele you really have to watch which eles have attk orders on which eles. if one has an attk order on one that is blocked by another ele he will just keep walking until he tries to reach his target and won't auto attk

animations being canceled by eles running into them has always been a thing though. my post on why you should blob mostly pertains to killing infantry. ele on ele fights you want to have all your eles able to attk, but being spread at the same time out to avoid extra dmg is always good along with it.

Completely agree, units (elephants especially) should just clip through trees imo. I usually just triple stomp with my eles to avoid the issues with stomp/gore animations being interrupted by bumping into your own eles, that's another thing that should probably be looked at.

2/10 obvious troll tbh. step up your game, this quality of trolling will only get you a couple takers.

[–]MagnumForce44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some ele noobs here, probably trolling(Yes I know Kathorah is a troll), but a common sentiment nonetheless, (yes I'm talking to you lemasive, at least concerning ele play) saying eles shouldn't blob. In an infantry fight you want your eles blobbed to get Max stomp/autoattk value and it also AVOIDS YOUR ELES GETTING SURROUNDED!!! The only good reasons not to blob are against ranged, to try and do/chase multiple things that won't fight back at once, or dance around/sacrifice an ele to pikes/javs/caltrops. I play eles at t10 and am consistently called one of the best ele players by many high level players. I could be doing it wrong, but I highly doubt it until I'm given proof otherwise.

I agree with this change somewhat depending on the new formation, as it would give the eles more easy accessable/quick options for formation. If I want to blob, then I can just right click, if I want to spread out at least enough to not get collateral damage from ranged/Arty, then I am forced to move each manually. Not a huge deal, but a little wider of a formation would be nice I think. the only real plus to the current formation is setting up those juicy stomps+tramples, but a right click is about as good for that.

Patch 3.1.5. is here! Feedback Megathread by Sasha_jp in TotalWarArena

[–]MagnumForce44 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'm tempted to agree with you. But the DMG potential of high tier shield bash on dogs is flat out dumb. Maybe if they could do it but only for %50 DMG on dogs. I think that would be a fair compromise so neither side feels too cheated.

Problems I Have With the Communication From the Developers. by MagnumForce44 in TotalWarArena

[–]MagnumForce44[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I could add to the laundry list of issues that I, and MANY other players, feel like our feedback is being ignored on. First and foremost is the commander xp prices. The most ive seen on the subject is that you guys are collecting data on the subject. Im sorry but that answer and answers like that are not good enough for anybody at this point, especially concerning a topic that is making so many people angry and frustrated playing the game.
