Tacit

Hello all,

Thank you for your patience and support while we've been preparing this patch. We know it seems like it's been an eternity since the first murmers and rumours about an impending patch, and after a lot of hard work from the dev team we have something we feel is solid and addresses a lot of the issues encountered with the retail game.

Developing a patch is a bit like developing a game -- you never seem to have enough time to get all the content in that you would like to. But, rest assured that there will be future patches, and if you don't find a fix you were hoping for in this patch, there is always hope for the next one! We're constantly combing the forums (here at Relicnews and others) looking for bugs, crashes, suggestions, and just general feedback on what you think about the game. We'll always do our best to ensure the stability of the game and an enjoyable entertainment experience for as many people as possible!!

So, without any further ado...we bring you, Patch 1.10!!!

Stilgar

Thank you. :bandit:

Jihad

Thank you sir

Noir

Repeating what I said before...

That'll do Tacit...That'll do

Cicero

No build-cancel-build-cancel Listening Post fix? I've used it before and it's quite overpowered.

Also:
Why did you give them one buff and two nerfs? Almost nobody used rangers before, they were very underpowered.

Tank Hunter

Has nothing been done about Warp Spiders utterly owning Ork?
Other then that Good job with te patch

LordVorbis

Ranger Squad

• Decreased reload time.
• Decreased attack power.
• Decreased morale damage.

So you don't want them used ever?

Brightlance

• Introduced a 2 second setup time for the Brightlance.

Okay, hopefully that'll shut up all the BL cries. The Starcannon doesn't need one tho?

Fire Prism

• Decreased how often Fire Prism’s can warp; they can now warp once every 90 seconds .

Er, not too sure why, but I suppose that stops people jumping prism behind base, killing buildings and then jumping away again. Countdown till Prisms is still too overpowered thread

Mr Pink

Great!

ceejayoz

Let's hope the whingers click on this sticky...

GodOfRock

Fantastic! Just in time for the weekend! Now where to download?

edit: duh! automatic dl when logging online.

TheDeadlyShoe

5 maps! :smash:

sweet.

Is the dreaded accuracy bug fixed?

(the one where units that break and regroup under certain circumstances start missing every shot and also can do some ability exploits)

Noir

Depends on how much they're getting thier reload time reduced,it wouldn't be so bad if they got say thier attack power and morale damage halved but could fire every second.Infact that would be freaking great,though their range would still need work.



Yes Ceej,now I can take pride in the fact that I am a whining bitch,because this is precisely what I wanted

Boomstar

:yippee:

Fritz

I love you!!!

Woooo!

Lfctony

Thank you, good job.

RetroBooster

Excellent

Great_Apple

You know, I'm sure I heard it said somewhere that releasing a patch on a Friday was a BAD idea. Lets hope there is nothing wrong with it...

Thanks though!

Tacit

The servers are taking a bit of time to kick in...give it a few minutes and the patch should automatically update for you when you login to the Online lobby.

If a fix isn't listed in the release notes, then it probably hasn't been addressed. As with everything, we have to prioritize fixes (as per my original message). But, we'll fix as much as we can for 1.2!

Stilgar

Maybe there wasn't enough time for the build, cancel bug?

Ex00r

YEA, i've waited for so long! biiiiiig thx!!

VeRoNiKa

yay! patch is downloading gj..

TehMuffinMan

finally!

*me praises relics work*

would of been nice to have been updated now and then, but not worth bishing about as long as its delivered ;D

General Blaze

Finally. After all that waiting, IT'S FINALLY HERE!! Thanks, Relic!

Noobinator

amazing, I am quite glad, however, no one addressed the Seer Counsel bugs.

oh wait

Tacit

Updating is a double-edged sword. We prefer to know exactly what we can deliver, and when, before we say anything. As I said, thanks for you patience and hopefully you'll all feel the wait was worth it!

SirTerrius

thanks for the patch

VeRoNiKa

wow 190 meg patch size, must be bad for 56k users to download lol.

HuginiMunini

Waaaaaaagh!

*Eroes*

Thx a lot!

Now let's play, and remain tuned for 1.2 patch

bZrK|KaoS

Nice finally i hope this includes Arranged team rated but it isn't listed so i fear for it

Anyway GJ Relic Gamers love your attitude

Fenomen

Regarding the F2 Fix, in the Patchnotes it says Melee Unit. Does that mean only pure Melee Units like Banshees, Sluggas etc recieve the Benefit?

Brian

nice one.

no more of my orks been f2 to death I suppose or cultists :bandit:

Asklepios

Thank you so much

*Eroes*

Ehi ehi, wait a moment!

There was a bug that caused morale broken Chaos Marine to NOT recover their accuracy once recovered morale.

Is it not been fixed ?!?!?!


Tacit, tell me my concern is unfounded :weep:

flipper

*Eroes*:

thesniperdevil

^ you have a point but your going OTT.
Rangers needed a little buff IMO. And now gaurdians have no 'Nades early on, whats their counter against SM rush?
*sigh* Its gonna be hard playing eldar. whiners will still complain Mark My Words,
"Eldar are soo overpowered take them out of game, thatl be more balanced"

but otherwise good job on patch


Edit: first comment meant for yoshua guy.

tEM

Play the game and test them out before complaining. You are not being helpful. I wouldn't be surprised if rangers ended up being imbalanced in the OTHER direction with this patch.

Test before whining. (Why can no one spell whining right? Is it a fad, like "teh"? It's NOT "whinging" for heaven's sake!)

Anyway, thanks Relic, I'ma go test this out, and actually play Eldar for the FIRST TIME!!

Also, I have a feeling that rangers were altered in this way to make it so that guards don't NEED 'nades to stop the rush.

That's my guess.

Navaros

Entangle did not get nerfed enough


Entangle should not work on any unique units. and if it does, then it's duration still needs to be drastically decreased

and it is quite disappointing that nothing was done to fix the Chaos vehicles so that they're actually useful

looks like there's finally a way to heal the Chaos Lord. at least that's one good thing about the patch

*Eroes*

Flipper: thx, I love u

Sorry for the misunderstanding: I've to buy some pretty decent glasses ....

thesniperdevil

navaros, defiliers useless? last time i cecked they rock at disrupting infantry.
they just not meant for anti vehicle.
entangle overpowered? how is any diffferent form W3 entangle? thast not called overpowered.
i

tEM

So when are you going to get the patch out to places like Fileplanet and the like so that the servers won't be so slow?

War3 Entangle is an ability that ONE unit has - Keeper of the grove - and it only affects ONE unit, not an area. Unless a patch has changed that since I last played.

Tacit

The patch is anywhere from 18-30MB depending on what version you have (which language version mainly). So, 190MB is very strange. Are you sure you're not somehow misreading it?

Great_Apple

A few little things.

1) Whining and whinging are both words. Whining is to whine, while whinging is to whinge...

2) It's 19 megs, not 190 as somebody said

3) As people have said, test it before you play. This is not the last patch, so I'm sure some things which haven't been adressed yet will be

tEM

Mine is 19361021 - I divided by 1024^2 and got 18.47. I assume the original is in Bytes, and my patch is 18.47mb in size.

EDIT:
whinge
intr.v. Chiefly British whinged, whing·ing, whing·es
To complain or protest, especially in an annoying or persistent manner.

Well, look at that. British. No wonder.

Chem-Comando

Shit, I was expecting massive Ork changes, especially Stormboyz and Killa Kanz. .

MK_o0

Youpiiiii !!!!!!!!

tEM

If it's bytes, you divide twice by 1024 - once to get Kb, again to get Mb. Try it, about 19mb.

Crasster

*starts slow clap

ionfish

Thank god.
