if they made them a little more volatile, that would be sweet. Like a chance of it randomly exploding.

I've taken a break until they throw some type of progression in. And maybe some race/faction perks as well. Right now, they have the core mechanics fleshed out but thats it. The worst outcome is its a battlefield clone so they have something they can really build on.

I think they just need to lower the splash damage amount or radius. Random exploding sounds like it'll become really frustrating, but hell if it reduces the amount of people using it, I'm all for it.

Depending on your level of movie watching you've probably seen him in the last couple years. He does good stuff.




But yeah, pretty disappointing on all other points.

Eh, I'm not hot on it. The points where the conversations were getting heated were delivered in a completely deadpan :effort: manner. I get that Eisenhorn is more of a cool customer compared to most 40k inquisitors, but IIRC in the books he got downright shouty when he was being accused of murdering the stasis-ed up people.

Strong is probably a fan of the franchise if he's willing to voice the main character in two different 40k games.

Meanwhile in EC actually making some progress, at 1:04:00 they show off the stealth on the Striking Scorpions, which I'm sure literally no-one will ever complain about.

Finally took some time and played a bunch of this. When you get a full game it delivers some pretty cool moments of complete chaos, explosions, vehicles, melee, it's all very Warhammer. When you don't get a full game, it's an exercise in complete and total suffering.

The progression systems are on the test server and currently they lead to a few pieces of war gear which grant stuff like +20% stamina regen speed, and stat bonuses of that nature, and also significantly change the look of your guy, but only portions of them as they're sort of model add-ons or replacements right now. So sooner than last time, still :shrug:

To the extent that you'll be changing how bits of your spess mareen look in superficial ways, yeah. You're not going to be changing the essential color scheme of any guy because of their sub-faction system, and at least any time soon the cosmetics will probably trend more towards veteran stuff, gold trim and fancy scrolls and poo poo, but beyond that I don't know.


E: I'm kind of loathe to answer too deeply or even vaguely admit that this game delivers occasional moments of really cool fun, because the balance in the game is anything but decent and I still worry that the RPG systems are going to completely gently caress everything up.

This is the one wargear concept art piece I believe they've shown. It's just going to be minor changes and bolted on bits basically.

Eldar are in, so you can probably start seeing footage of them in the next couple days. Footage of them losing every single match because they currently require teamwork way above PUG capabilities.

Yeah, the Eldar situation is... not great. Part of this is almost certainly because Aspect Warriors are super specialized and require some pretty high-level coordination if they're going to win, but also they need a bit of a tweak. Shuriken weapons don't even feel like they're on par with bolters, when in tabletop they're very slightly better.

Yeah, the SM guilds are also pretty happy to just use the buggiest/most unbalanced thing of the patch, so it tends to empty servers whenever their premades show up. That said, when I don't run into those this game can be a lot of fun under the right circumstances, I just wish they'd stop breaking half the game with each patch. I've seen games in worse states become good games in less time than they have (Summer 2016 launch) but given how much they gently caress up with each patch, it's a little worrying.

it'd be cool if you got temp buffs for standing near your squad mates. That would encourage a lot more coordinated play.

It was once an MMO and this was where the first thread was before I remade this thread to make fun of it. :shrug: Someone said they wanted to make a proper thread but never did it.

If they don't gently caress it up once Orks are in and it has the dress up stuff I'll make one if someone else doesn't in Games.

They say that they mostly need to rig the Orks and create their weapons, which will be easier than Eldar because Eldar needed a bunch of new tech, and Orks share a bunch of tech with Space Marines and even a couple with Eldar. They were saying, last week, probably three or four weeks until they started showing off the Orks on live streams, so it could be fairly soon, at least in terms of how long the Eldar took. Like ADL says though, they're launching this summer, and they haven't pushed that yet, so it'll be tight.

Maybe it will be like battle fleet Gothic and the orks will be several weeks(or months) after launch. Either way I'm at least gonna pick this up soon and hope to get a group of goons big enough to get stuck in with.

Nah it's not just you. Performance changes every patch and every individual match has become a complete tossup for whether it lags or not. Matches with Eldar in particular tend to freak out really badly. Four months to launch is a hell of an idea, to say the least.
