"Over there". Where would that be? Makes sense that it wouldn't be this forum.. can't for the life of me think why you of all people would get banned. On Dakka, of all places.




Edit: Bam. New page!

Most of the mods on the dow2 sites werent nice but are you trying to say that naso is actualy a certain person who's name starts with a: H

I haven't bothered to give a damn enough to remember. Been like two years or so. Maybe it was Gorb. Couldn't care less at the moment.

Darkvoidof40k: The DoW2 Community Site. It's a den of trolls to be sure, even the mods are constantly trolling newbies. Frankly, I'm glad I no longer have any temptation to post there.

While I find the Ork campaign down right hilarious I am a bit disappointed that it is just the same old missions recycled. I haven't yet really fussed with the multiplayer all that much yet.

Why would I start a 'new' Dakka group?

Because clearly, it's absurd to expect someone to follow through on something they start

How unnecessary. But if you feel like you must, then I have no problems with it Kan.

It says right there, in my thread, that I am not going to chase after people. Always has, always will.

It's not "chasing after people" to add them when they post in your thread.

It's lazy not to do it, imo. Either make the group public or do some work adminning it.

You say I could do it, when it would be just as easy for other people to do it.

Also, you have to consider they may not want/care to join the group. That is why it is optional.

I will consider making it public. But your argument that it's lazy not to add people for them is invalid, imo.

I joined

I have decided to take the advice of Kan, and have made my group public. *heads off to bump original group thread*

Oh yeah, Just beat wave 20 on the colloseum map after all these long years my goal has been reached !

Corrrr, that's awesome.. Can I touch you?

Yes you may ahahaha !

pretty much this, personally think that so far chaos rising has been the best release of DOW 2.

now then off to join this steam group STG*RTF* on steam

1) STG*RTF*?
2) Which steam group?

1)STG is me, taopaipai18. RTF (Ranger Task Force) is a clan i played with/for for about 6-7 years.
2)The one in the link on Kanluwen's post, http://steamcommunity.com/groups/dakkadakkadakkadakkadakkadakka

Not joining the original group then? Hm, very well then.

Not sure which 1 it is, there are about 5, is it the one with 12 members? also due to comment above i thought it was a closed to the public group so i wouldnt be able to join anyway

We're running a Retribution tournament on Tuesday 15th March with the winner receiving a copy of Homefront on PC.

The tournament is open to UK players only and there are up to 32 places available on a first-come first served basis.

All the details on how to sign up are over here.

A recent game against Wolf from here on Dakka, should any of you wish to view it. It was very close for most of the game, but by the end there was a clear winner.

http://www.gamereplays.org/dawnofwar2/replays.php?game=47&show=details&id=194804


To find out the winner:

TLR and I'm sure some one got there first but this game was imediately propelled to a classic when Commisar Bernn said "Drive me closer I want to hit them with my sword".

Ace!

Ugh, their next patch doesn't have any fixes for the single player campaign bugs.

Don't forget join the [Dakkaite] channel inside of DoW2, so maybe we can get some teams going

Click on the chat bubble in the lower right corner of the chat window, then you can select to join the [Dakkaite] channel.

completed the tryranid campaign without any problems on the second highest difficulty. Just had hive guard, carni's 1 ranged 1 thornback, swarmlord and warrior squad with devourers for fire supression, walke them around mauling everything with mass charges and huge hp creatures.

The campaigns do get a little boring as the same maps and missions generally come into play. For example the marines doing the same stop the convoy mission as the nids.

I'm on my first playthrough of the game and using Chaos, also finding it strangely annoying. It might just be the luck (or lack thereof) of the draw, but everytime I get one of those disposable items that gives the selected squad a weapon, this happens:

"I'll give to my close combat chaos marine!" (Who up until recently has lacked anything better than the level 1 chainaxe he got at the start of the campaign)
*Gets a heavy bolter.*

"Okay then, i'll give it to my ranged heavy-weapon plague marine."
*Gets a bolter*

I'm also annoyed by the lack of ranged weapons I can give to my plague marine (so my chaos marine can chop stuff). Every ranged weapon I get that isn't a missile launcher is for my chaos marine only, and the launchers I get are all worse than the one i've been toting for 5-6 levels which isn't exactly great in the first place.

So, before I get my next disposable item that grants me wargear for the selected character, if I give it to my plague marine, will he get anything other than the following:

A plague flamer
A bolter
A close combat weapon
A missile launcher (i'll be peeved, because they're bloody inaccurate against anything but vehicles (which are usually already beaten up by Eliphas the Walking Tank) but less peeved than if I get one of the other three).

?

Or am I simply going to have to live with the fact that my plague marine and chaos marine will have to live off mission rewards?

You can usually check by hovering over the disposable item to check what you get. At least that's how it was with the Gifts of the Artificer in the Marine campaign.

While the last level is epic, the final boss fight is disappointingly stupid. Don't hit the big red blob in the middle, people! Take down those stupid towers! Then he insta-dies!

I'm now on the last mission for IG on the second hardest difficulty and while I have enjoyed the game it really has been a bit easy. Once you get the Autocannons and the General with a plasma gun (and drop LR!) you are laughing.

I hope that it is significantly more difficult on the hardest setting but we will see.

Keep in mind, fellas, we've mostly been playing since DoW many years ago.. so we have a lot more experience than first-time-buyers.. although, I'd imagine most people playing Retri will be us "fellas" who've played a majority of the games.

Dang, forgot to post these ages ago. But oh well, here y'all go for what it's worth! My end of campaign (ie before last mission) Marine heroes!

I want it, but have yet to complete Chaos Rising.
Mostly because my brand new PC is crap, and keeps breaking.

When it's working, I'll blitz through Chaos Rising then get Retribution. =D

you should put spoiler on you-know-who

the end boss is easy as hell with marines
just spam terminators and have them assault the red blob


ork campaign is awesome
