Patch 3704 Release Thread

Holy shit, why did Cybran cruisers get a huge buff? They are OP now.

What you call OP, they call balanced.
What you call boring gameplay, they call balanced.
What you call broken, they call balanced.

let me guess .... what you call fun and ballanced, they call broken?

By and large I really like the changes. In particular:

- Scathis is now a game ender (again)
- Mongoose is relevant (when was the last time you saw it made instead of pillar + parashield)?
- T2 flak is now makes sense
- Nuke assist BP nerf (thank you)
- Damage radius increase on cougar (it was shit unit unless you had them en masse)
- land unit torpedo damage increase (FINALLY this actually may mean something)

The only thing that I question is the T3 static arty nerf. But, I'm certainly willing to play and see how it affects gameplay.

Scathis is way too strong now. In all the "big map" games i've played in the last few days the game was basically over after someone had the scathis.

it destroys now a base with 22 t3 seraphim shields in 2 volleys. this is just plain op. As someone in an earlier post already stated: scathis used to be more of a "tactical" weapon which you had to place carefully (due to the short range) to overwhelm shields so you can attack. now it destroys all shields, and with the increased firing rate it destroys on the 2nd volley all buildings.

Maybe some very expirienced or good players manage to find a way with different shield techs and engis mixed in to assist the shields to keep them up but for the average player (my elo is 900, yes I suck, I know) being focused by a scathis means in most cases losing your base in a very short amount of time. This is not fun and will frustrate people. Resulting in fewer players who play the game or big maps being avoided or people ruling scathis out of the map.

In my opinion you guys got a bit overeager with these newest balance changes. The game was loved and played the way it was. minor changes ok, but you reworked some units so hard that it "breaks" the balance. I am sure that was not what you intended. I hope you guys (balance Team) seriously reconsider some of the changes and make adjustments as soon as possible.

balance is like evolution

If the scathis is OP as you suggest, I'm sure it will be balanced.

It's a process and I'm happy we're still getting patches.

just to put up the comparison, some guy complained about the scathis being too weak here : https://www.reddit.com/r/supremecommand ... ender_its/

Sattelites are too OP now. high damage + vision radius+ omni. it just reveals whole base entirely with a single satt.
for 36000 mass u have got big omni eye on enemy base. its too cheap or too big area of vision - decide

The download of the actual patch with downlords newest client takes about 30 minutes with a 50mbit internet connection.
Is this normal?

It's really funny that half the community is complaining the new Scathis is too OP and half of the community says it's shite now

You must be new here, welcome to the balance discussion!
