Just noticed this about half an hour ago on TBs Youtube channel.

Originally though awesome, about friggin tme!

Then I saw the games Behavior Interactive have put out.(http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Behaviour_Interactive)
Only two games on the list were good(imo) Bugs Bunny: Lost in Time and Bugs Bunny and Taz Time Busters. (both released years ago, 1999 and 2000 respectively) So they were good because I loved Bugs and Taz lol.

My hopes for a good 40K MMO have just crashed to the earth again...

I really hope they prove me wrong.

It's annoying, however, to see so many people demanding that the game be totally free except for cosmetic changes to a toon...do you guys realize how expensive it is to make an mmo? Do you really think it's possible to recoup that cost by having people pay only for little trophies, dyes, and doodads for their toons? I don't.

I realize that Guild Wars has made one of the most critically acclaimed and commercially successful MMOs there is with the business model of "Pay once, then buy this kewl extra gak if you want".

How does Guild Wars compare to WoW, I thought WoW blew everyone else out of the water for raking in cash. I never played either so dont have any idea about Guild Wars. WoW is too cartoony for my tastes.

It doesn't.

Sheer force of inertia has kept WoW king of the MMO, and it is IMHO unrealistic to expect this game to supplant it.

Games make the most money by attracting the most players. Players are attracted to games with fair pricing models that don't punish player for being free. It's the you will get m ore flys with honey thing. The more free players you get the better. Even if a free player doesn't pay a dime, they still add value to a game like a mmo. Times that by 10 if it's a game focused all around PvP.

This is worth repeating. And someone tell the devs.

If anyone posts anything hateful and distasteful like that again in this thread-you will be receiving a long break from Dakka.

Oh my.

Well anyway.

i don't see the hostility against the FTP model, as we have no idea how it will be balanced after release. I'll definitely give it a shot, anyone who doesn't secretly yearn to be a space marine isn't a true 40k fan

What do you mean by "balanced"?

And not everyone plays 40k for the Space Marines (Though I'd personally like to play as a Black Templar).

I want to play an ork myself, or a pathfinder, or an ork pathfinder.

So what, if I don't want to be a castrated emotionally insecure screaming old bald guy with severe scarring and an obnoxious gravely voice, I'm not a real 40k fan?

Screw that. I'm a huge 40k fan but I have no interest in "being" a Space Marine,

How about a Sister of Silence? It may suite us all

The game is two years away, I'm guessing withing that two years it may change a bit.

How do you know Space Marines are castrated?

She's being ontollogically inflamatory, insulting space marines by saying "hur hur der penis been chopped off". They're probably chemically infertile or something.

Yes we've gathered that. No idea how you're still trolling this thread but I hope a mod comes along soon.

One race will not simply swarm over the others on day 1 and remain completely dominant. I doubt the actual gameplay experience will be anywhere near balance though, so I won't be rushing to buy this.

Space Marines are awesome. Nothing quite like smashing up some xeno scum

orks are awesomer . Orks are the pinnacle of creation. Naturally they are equal if not superior to marines who need augumentation and technology to even be on the same footing as orks , but humans need to learn things whereas orks just know. Orks psychologically are stronger as they don't lose they just get ready to have another go. Orks do not fall prey to the lures of chaos as much as humans or marines for that matter.

Orks are better in every respect.

Well yes, that goes without saying.

I wonder what the power level of Eldar will be?

Hell yes! Come on FW!

Oh wait, this is a thread about a MMO? Nevermind.

I've been burned time after time with MMOs. I'm a big MMO fan, but I'll reserve judgment until release this time around.

No seamless experience = me quitting. Period. Load screens fail. I don't care that we may end up planet-hopping, disguise the load screen with a shuttle transition, just don't let me lose control of my avatar for even a moment.

I'm okay with load screens if they're not excessive (I don't mind how GW2 does it), but it would certainly be nice.

I can't wait for this game to come out so I can install it and not play it ever because I don't have the motivation to play anything anymore. YAY MOAR MEDICINES!

Good god, I hope that this doesn't turn out to be another flop like Dark Millennium or a disaster like Fire Warrior.....

Damn I hate loading screens more than anything in any game, I just cant EVER get the motivation to play Shogun 2 as much as I want because most time is spent staring at a loading screen.

Hopefully with this being an mmo there will be few.

Also this space marine hate is heresy.

Why the sudden hate on Fire Warrior??

Its not going to be a free game, I only base that on the fact that its going to be released for the next gen systems as well as PCs.

As far as thier pay scheme? I dont see a big deal with it really, So you can only make it to a Lvl10 ork boy? You'll probably get to feth around with sluggas, shootas, big shootas, rokkit launchas, and hard boy armor, thats quite a bit of possibilty for 'just an orkboy'.

Then if you wanna get the other races or progress farther as an ork you have to pay for it, now i bet its a paid for subscription (like WoW) that just unlocks your ability to change races, and progress up the chain of command should you choose to. Why is that such a bad idea i dont see.

I know he said 5 boys to 1 but i bet it drops to 3 to 1 pretty quick when the beta hits.

And @ mel, now, i know this isnt exactly what you want, because im sure you'd rather they get their own faction completely, but did you ever stop and think that maybe when you make your SM character that there might just be an option for girls to create a Sister? And have them just put a blurb saying that they are easily the equivalent of an SM? And whos to say they dont make demonic sisters as well(all fluff aside,also i dont know gak about the sisters). Im guess im hoping for a little more optimism, and im not trying to be rude but its just something that i wouldnt be too surprised to see, especially if they really want A LOT of people to really invest in this

I guess im maybe a lil too giddy over this concept, Im a huge fan of what they are so far trying to accomplish so far, even though there is no Tau lol I just really hope they can pull it off!!!

Fire Warrior was an ass-terrible game in story, game design, production quality, and canon-ity to the 40k universe. As a 40k fanboy I loved it when it came out, but I still think it was horrid.

I think Dark Millennium had a better-looking future than this though. Given the developers' track record I'm slightly worried.

They made Iron Man (the game).
I've not forgiven or forgotten that game.

We should be worried.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Iron_Man_(video_game)

To be honest. They haven't even developed any note-worthy games. Who decided that it would be a good idea to give A2M the IP to make a 40k MMO? >.<

Considering they are huge fans of warhammer and the fact that they put space marines rather than the Imperium makes me think sisters wont be in. Perhaps however one of the expansions will make the whole Imperium playable from gaurd to sisters?

As long as I can play a Mekboy I'm happy.

I wonder how dreads, kans, hell brutes, and wraith lords will come into it, maybe as support abilities.

I'd prefer to have the Imperium as a factions and have SM, SoB, Techpriest and Guard (Maybe Inquisitor as well) as classes and then you can spec into a certain type of SM via skills...

All they need this to be is a rebalanced, third person planetside 2 with melee kickassery, dreadnaughts and titans

This. If they made a game like that, I would be very happy indeed.
