Hello all,

We're happy to announce the imminent release of Patch 1.3 for Warhammer 40,000: Dawn of War. The Winter Assault dev team has been hard at work over the past few months to get this patch out to you, and we're really excited about it.

This patch not only fixes many small issues with the game, it also introduces some brand new features and functionality, including an Observer Mode (added for pro gaming tournaments after Dawn of War's acceptance into the World Cyber Games), the ability to make Friends Lists to support the continued growth of the online community, and Arranged Team Automatch to simplify the process of setting up multiplayer games with your friends.

In addition to various bug fixes, performance improvements, and balance tweaks, we've added some new functionality to support the Mod Community. Probably most exciting are some wide-ranging fixes to the Stance system. We've done extensive testing on this in-house and with THQ QA, and we feel these improvements to the stance system make Dawn of War even more fun!

Patch 1.3 is currently in its final round of testing at THQ QA, and we hope to be able to release it very soon. Stay tuned for more information!

Regards,

Raphael van Lierop

Der scheint ja mit dem Patch wirklich beseitigt zu sein, allerdings frag ich mich was Orks nach DEM Patch überhaupt gegen Fahrzeuge ausrichten wollen, man wird zwar mehr Infantrie sehen, allerdings wirds wirklich nen stück schwerer für Orks, bis auf ein paar Kleinigkeiten sagen mir die Eckdaten des Patches allerdings sehr zu.
 
#5
Halleluja, Chaos wird jetzt wohl endlich konkurrenzfähig werden 🙂 Vor allem die dummen Sklaven verbrauchen jetzt keinen Unit-Slot mehr, was verdammt hilfreich werden dürfte am Anfang des Spiels 🙂 Und die Geissel wurde aufgewertet 🙂 UND die Waffenauswahl von Einheiten mit multiplen Waffensystemen, da fallen doch hoffentlich Kyborgs rein...

Na ja, ausgewogen sollte es nach dieser Patch nocht nicht sein, aber gut anhören tut es sich auf jeden Fall schon mal.

Chaos kommt ganz gut weg und das macht mit froh. 😀
Aber meine geliebten Ork's können ja schon fast einpacken. Ach dann umgeht man eben die Panzer des Feindes oder lässt ihn keine bauen :heul: . Der Big Mek ist jetzt voll blöde geworden und der Waagh Boss hat immernoch zu wenig HP.

SM sind mMn nicht wirklich abgewärtet worden aber o.k. sie bleiben die Besten.

Schön das sie versucht haben Ranger besser zu machen. Aber ich find die immernoch sch**ße. Moralschaden ist das einzig tolle an denen. Ich würde denen "Intiltratoren" von Anfang an geben nicht als Update. Na ja.

Die Patch hat lange auf sich warten lassen, dafür ist sie die Beste, hoffe ich <_< . DoW spiel ich dann auch wiedermal ein wenig.
 
#7
jop mir gehts da wie Gouldar.

Wenn das Spiel nun endlich n bissl mehr Balance hat spiel ichs vll auch mal wieder.
Als Spaßspieler isses so wie es grad ist einfach nix wenn man ständig von irgendwelchen Powergamern niedergetrampelt wird die die ganzen Bugs kennen und nutzen und dazu noch zocken wie die blöden.
 
#8
ja da trifft mich doch der schlag!!! zum dritten mal in folge kann ich bei den Eldar fast nur "reduced" lesen. unter balancing verstehe ich was anderes! fireprism nur noch in abhängigkeit zum pl und vyper und dann verursacht er noch weniger schaden gegen fahrzeuge und gebäude als sowieso schon????

und habe ich halus???? Reduced cost of Possessed marines, decreased attack/hp/build time accordingly???

na dann ab in den schrank, liebes dow....
 
#9
Naja, das Eldar abgeschwaecht werden ist ja eigentlich nur logisch, die hatten bis jetzt ja nochj die allerfiesesten Tricks auf Lager.

Wie sich der schlechtere Prism schlaegt werden wir sehen, immerhin ist der Umschubseffekt nur geringfügig kleiner, als Supporter also immer noch sehr gut.

Das alle Dämonen billiger und schlechter werden find ich klasse, dann sind man die auch mal oefter.

Ich mag relic eigentlich, die machen ihre sachen lieber richtig und verhunzen nicht irgendwas wegen Zeitdruck (imho, fand halt homeworld schon genialst)

Naja, mal im Ernst, dass gute Arbeit ein wenig laenger Zeit benötigt mag sein, aber 5 Monate ? (eigentlich sogar noch mehr, 1.2 war ja auch nen Witz) Ich glaube kaum dass man in der Zeit wirklich nur gearbeitet hat, sondern eher vor nen paar Wochen überhaupt angefangen was zu tun, weil die Nörgler immer Lauter wurden.
