After a day of commander-related chaos, some changes have been made which should hopefully settle things down a bit.

Balance



Shredder:
  • DPS reduced 20%

Copperhead:
  • DPS reduced 5%


Commanders



Restored old HP values. Their maximum base HP is now the same as before.
  • Strike Commander 2500, 3000, 4000, 5000, 6000
  • Battle Commander 3000, 3800, 4900, 6000, 7200
  • Recon Commander 1800, 2300, 2800, 3400, 4000
  • Support Commander 2000, 2500, 3000, 3700, 4500

Dgun:
  • Range 250 -> 200
  • Reload time 12s -> 16s

Hellfire Grenade:
  • Halved AOE

Misc



  • Fixed Crabes that can become stuck on each other.
  • An arbitrary set of units no longer emit smoke when cloaked.
  • Chat bubbles are now smaller and only show on markers and ally chat.
  • Spectator chat is yellow by default.

I've been so happy with the last few releases it's about time you screw up again! Gj at overnerfing Shredder, Dgun and Hellfire 'nade. Gj at overbuffing comms. :-/

Anyway! I've made spec and engine messages yellow myself some weeks ago, so that probably makes sense. Yay on the misc fixes. :)

Shredder was ridiculously OP and new L5 comms have the same HP as old L4 comms (i.e. they're worse).

Shredder wasn't ridiculously op. It was slightly op. A 10-15% nerf would've been enough.

Commanders are not worse, they are better than before we moved to L5 comms.

strongly disagree with hellfire grenade nerf, it was good how it was - it just needed to be more pricey/less rapid fire.

They have more modules. They can get much more HP than ever or alternatively something else. So how the wut are they worse?

Is there any reason that razzor/shredder lasers are not constant and accurate beams like mace?

Sure. It's so players can distinguish things!

Skasi, is that like Detriment being an "I win" unit because it has better everything than any other unit?

Hellfire Grenade was ridiculous free napalm missiles. A comm at the front with one would drastically change things and make small units worse.

Detriment isnt a win unit :). I played a high elo game where the other team had a detriment but it was too late so he kinda got owned (15 stilleto's stunned it and it was dead before stun ended not to mention the dozens of skuttles and spies that where coming after if that failed). There was just no way that detriment would have survived more than a few minutes.

What are you talking, KR? Where can I create my own Detriment? And how? I wanna do that now!
