Thanks!

Game need some polishing but its really dynamic so far. I have had a few people mail me questions so dont be scared to! The game is very enjoyable now, and once its complete I think its really going to be epic!

I too am playing, it's rather enjoyable and stable.

I kept up to date with it for a long time, then trickled away until something more concrete had been established. Has any Eldar game play been released yet?

What Alpha Wave is it currently on?
1? 2? 3?

I'm waiting for the game to become a beta to jump in. Game looks dope, seems dope, probably is dope.

I also have to say its quite fun dispite the lack of features atm due to its alpha state. I wish I could say more but NDAs and what not.

No Eldar game play yet, dont think they set a release for them that I know of. I believe this is Alpha 3. I bought the cheapest pack and I can already play!

Drunken it def is. please you my code when you decide to play that way we both can get in game $$$

I appreciate it all!

I find it distasteful to have to pay to play an unfinished product.

Already too much of this going on already with botched releases.

When the game is finished (if it ever gets finished) I will look into it.

I already played Space Marine and it was allright but I am looking forward to something different, namely Eldar gameplay.

The game was initially interesting to me, especially the potential to play as any faction you like and having large maps with armies duking it out. But then the actual game began production, and their goals quickly fell apart and became a slow burning creation. Oh you want to play the legion/chapter you like? Be prepared to do mocrotransactions for the skins. Wanted to fight tyranids like was promised? To bad, its been canned. Want to try the game out to see if its worth your money? Nope, give us money for the privilege to play our half finished demo of marine vs marine combat...so Space Marine, but with a few half finished vehicles

I did one of these referral things and admins removed it

Not sure what you mean... Tyranids haven't been canned from what I heard. You can acquire Legion/Chapter free in Alpha. Once the game comes out it will either be free or acquired actually playing game (ie XP) and maybe they will add it to the store... as of now, it has not been in there. 95% of mmos and other games require payment to play Alpha. So if Alpha is not for you.. don't pay and dont play it. Wait for the full version to come out and play for free. Also trying a game out while in its Alpha stage doesnt give you a good grip of the game anyways, There is a ton of polishing and content that still needs to be added. If you think you can judge a game 100% just by alpha... sorry your wrong.

Maybe your referral deleted his account?

The only reason I am not playing now is lack of a grouping feature with my steam friends that also have a Founder's Pack.

Otherwise, awesome.

(ohgod I hope that doesn't violate the NDA)

EDIT: Oh, and yes I know it is coming. So I'm still hyped and everything, don't worry

I have heard a lot of mixed reviews on the alpha, apparently it is so bare bones that it's a step above polygon playtesting.

And the legion thoughts I have come from preorder/backing bonus news that if you don't pay X amount, you can't get the "bonus" of playing word Bearers. Maybe that is wrong, but its hard to keep track of the news for it when they seem to flip flop over what is important to work on on a monthly basis

Haha its definitely better then polygon testing. But at the moment it still needs a ton of polishing. Whether it be armor destruction, movement around or up obstacles, fatalities, etc.

Like I said before, this is close alpha, so there is still a lot of features they need to work on. But they will get there. Also, the $ you put into this game just doesn't allow you to play alpha. they give you a set amount of RTP points which allow you to buy in game or account items.

If you want to complain about this feature, go right ahead but this is something a lot of MMO's are doing now a days. "Pay to win" not exactly because 95% of the items you can buy are available in game.

Hopefully in December they will roll-out with some more maps/features/races but I have heard nothing just yet! Also if you want to check out the game, search game play videos on youtube.

I am contemplating about making some game play videos if people are interested. So if you guys want to see some definitely say something in this thread or pm me personally. I will try my best to record some vids and throw them on youtube and give you guys the link. ... FYI I am not very good yet lol

Thanks!!

If your computer isn't state of the art circa 2014 expect 15 fps.

It has a ton of potential. I have the captains pack and the game jumped in terms of quality with each patch. Tons of room for tactics and they got the hulking feel of space marines down well.

I have Halo 5 multiplayer taking up my attention right now so haven't played in a month or so. But the Siege game type is FUN.

Not 100% true. I used my buddies computer to play it yesterday.,.. not close to state of the art lol and it ran just fine.

I'm interested, but won't invest any real emotion until they start demonstrating they will be supporting non-Imperial game play.

When I first heard of this game, I was 'MEH'…
until the Devs said they were intending to add Tau and Necrons!

Now, a MMO Shooter that has THOSE factions as developed as the Imperial side… THAT I'lll drop paychecks on!

I was one of the founding members & huge contributor in the Eternal Crusade community. Unfortunately, the game is destined to fail & I pulled my funding. Initially it was supposed to be Planetside 2 in the 40k universe, with thousands of people fighting at once. Then they said that wasn't possible & it became lobby based shooter. Supposedly there is 4 factions, yet I haven't seen any Ork/Eldar footage in the past year. Literally almost the entire original dev team was let go/abandoned project.

If you know anything about video game development, this is a recipe for disaster. Don't even get me started on the Star Citizen microtransaction business model..

I hate spezz marines so meh. Until they have at least one other faction playable I'm out.

Oh wow maybe I should have read up more about this before I bought the Alpha package... I didn't know they took out the whole open world aspect and thats a huge disappointment.

I read more about this and upon release there will be smaller fights about 32 players. They will then release 100, 500 and possibly larger maps as the game progresses.

They have added a new map and shown a sneak peek of Tyranids!

Do you have any links ?
I was under the impression that it was just small games for test purposes and that they still planned on ps2 like gameplay.

Just a heads up if you plan on playing casually and not joining guilds/teams and you enjoy instanced battlegrounds. There is NO seperation of teams and solo players, and none planned. And if you even SUGGEST this might be a smart feature, the community will jump down your throat. I have seriously never seen a more hostile crowd to the casual player. They have 20 page threads dedicated to one guy telling all the casual players to group up, get out, or get rolled, followed by 30 people agreeing and adding their own jabs in at the casual player.

Frankly if the community is worried about losing their fast farm xp on launch so bad they have to drown out any notion of the idea with the old fallback "learn 2 play", I want nothing to do with it. Then they can have their own game by teams and for teams. And they can scratch their heads and complain when it crashes and burns in two years due to lack of players.

Fine if you dont like it, but don't lie about it. None of this is true.

So I bought a basic package a long time ago and still never heard anything. Any way to know when I'll be able to play?
