Dawn of War 2

Today I had a moment of clarity, an epiphony on how to organize superb winning strategies. It came like a ray of light from the sky. I had a 7 game winning streak against players of up to 7 TS higher then my own. And I can really give some players with 12+ TS over my own a run for the money. It is like I finally figured out how to play the game. (which is silly because I have played since the original BETA)

Does this/Did this happen to other players?

Care to enlighten us with your epic-win-strat? Let me guess, you play eldar?

You started playing as Eldar or the Apothecary?

LOL- I have always played eldar, but that is besides the point. I just developed a grasp on the mechanics in a way I never did before. I cannot be the only one?

lol tbh, its probably the state of eldar recently. If you won't say what you're amazing epic win strat is, then who cares, you're probably just talking rubbish, it's not like eldar need speicla strats to help us out these days.

Besides the point my ass.
Its like saying former nid players were awesomely skilled due to innate strategy skills, never mind that the race was overpowered beyond belief.

Eldar are in that position currently so keep dreaming you are special if you can win more easy with an OP race.

Thanks for the kind words.

Nids never required scouting and planning and use of one shot abilities that if pulled off at the wrong time cost you the game. Nids and Marines were CTRL a move and attack armies. But that is not what I wanted to discuss.

I just feel I finally developed an excellent feel for the tactics and strategies required to pull off some consistent wins.

I have one thing to add as someone that can only play a 2-4 games a week if I am lucky. Piss OFF

So what was your starting TS?

MarkDawg- Pissing off

FatLazy- Starting TS was 20- not great but average at least. It bumped up to 23 today after a few games. And now I am pushing TS 30s to rage quit.

I am not using stupid gimicky strats- I just FINALLY figured out priority targets, key geographies and good unit synergy. Its like a whole new world!

Maybe today was a good day- I will check back in a day or two and report what happens. What is considered a GOOD player TS?

TS 30 + is generally considered good. Though you shouldn't pay much attention to TS anyways. Really poor way to judge player skill especially with all the imba stuff going around atm.

Ah yes, all the TS40 Pre1.4 Nids...

Yes I can say I have experienced this. Then a losing streak as automatch kicks me back down to size.

I really can't play this game very well anymore

*Looks at signature*
*Nods in understanding*

I really wouldn't be surprised if I were you, you came on a generally very construtive strat forum, claiming you've been owning all with some simple revelation and refused to share it, then you got bummed out. It's like the RTS version of all those get rish in 1 day or lose x million pounds in a week adverts. Then you STILL won't even call out your amazing strat/build and it's time to just call bullshit......

Mostly it's the fact that they changed the entire game since it launched and I've not played it a lot since 1.5.

And also I hate playing as Eldar. Which is apparently the new "in" thing. Ork midgame is trashy, Tyranids are just a big glass jaw with no bite, and I can't find any good strategies for space marines besides "spam scouts and generators and quick dreadnought to victory", which is woefully boring.

But this isn't my whine thread, so I won't go on.

Oh you're not the only one!

We can all tell by the SM QQ that other Eldar had this orgasmic revelation that they could faceroll people silly nowadays (well other races don't complain as much, so i used SM as the ever-faithful reference).

It's called major fuck up from the balancing in the game. :\

Yeah, this is much more boring than the "spam rippers and generators and quick Carnifex to victory" of pre-1.5. By the way, that's not actually a good SM strat at all in the current metagame.

You should stop feeding this thread anymore because OP won't give any word on what he's talking about.
The very first post can be considered as a troll, I mean, what is this thread for???

You came to tell that you had a flash of inspiration and you can't lose anymore? good for you but argue something or your thread is fully useless. However i doubt it wouldn't be even if you tell us your always winning strat...

Can I edit the topic? It was not complete.

I use a mix of units, and go with the flow of the battle-If I revealed the exact strategies that I am using, then everyone here counters them! They are not anything particularly mind blowing. I use a mix of units.

Timmy-o why are you "feeding" the thread if it is useless? The purpose of the thread was an inquiry to see if other players had ever experienced a sudden complete understanding of the game mechanics.
