Levelling

Yuck, I really hope they keep this to a minimum. Emphasise the MMO over the RPG aspect.

Space Marine multiplayer on a Planetside 2 scale, with a few RPG aspects thrown in would be my preference.

Well, planetside 2 if the only free faction was incredibly gimped and five times weaker than the weakest member of the other factions, that way the paying players had someone to endlessly and effortlessly slaughter in some kind of lame, childish power trip.

I look forward to playing as an ork and running around caverns slaughtering weak tyranids

Sounds awful to me. If you don't pay your purpose is to run around to be killed by those who do pay. The worst part of it is, the faction that exists for f2p to die as is orks. So, even if I do pay, my favorite faction is still the punching bag faction. So if I pay them, I can't even play the faction I want without having to be stomped on by those who play the "preferred" faction. Gross. Count me out. I'll watch a few let's plays and see how it works, but if it's like they're saying it is, I will not be involved.

And then getting curb-stomped by a ten year old playing a Space Marine who happens to be five times stronger than you because he paid to win.

We freakin get it already, you have a hateon for this. You don't need to remind both threads repeatedly.

It's not my fault that there's two threads, and people making posts I disagree with in both of them.

So let's not veer off topic talking about me, and instead talk about this potential trainwreck of a game

Whoa whoa whoa, where does it says you can only be Orks as a f2p player?

That suck massive gonads

Check the thread in the videogame versus forum, it confirms that you can only play Orks, and not progress very far as f2p.

Oh well, not touching with a 10 feet pole then

Meh, there's still many years of development between here and now for things to change.

I gathered from the interview I read that there are payed Ork class lines that aren't horribly nerfed; not sure if I'm misreading it or not, but I'd guess if you like the Orks and are willing to pay you aren't going to be punished for liking the Orks.

You'll still have to start out as an Ork Boy from what I can tell, which means you'll start out hideously gimped.

It said they cannot advance past Ork Boy, which means that Ork Boy is the starting position for everyone who plays Orks.

Just like i bet all marines start as scouts n eldar as guardians, idk bout chaos though.....

WARHAMMER 40,000 ETERNAL CRUSADE!

I have been waiting forever for a 40K MMO, it was too bad that THQ screwed the pooch with "Dark Millennium" with their poor business decisions. I'm REALLY hoping this title will vindicate the 40K franchise. The sad part is the LONG wait as right now the scheduled release date is late 2015.

At any rate....I personally CAN'T WAIT.....FOR THE EMPEROR!!!

http://bhvr.com/eternalcrusade/#

Well you might waiting a-long, long time. Until it's released I wouldn't hold your Breath.

9 Phases....1st Phase announce Intention to release Game. So in the Grand Scheme of things they've done nothing. Games like this hoover up vast resources to get them to completion....Look at the game "Space Marine" compared with what they Promised and the video demos....

Cultist-chan obviously.

Because people think Wilt is an old english form of Will, from back when spelling was optional. ><

*Shakes fist*

P2P anything that's not a crummy Ork? Yeah, そんなのほっとけよ。

Nope.

Space Marines are stated to be five times stronger than Orks.

Da boyz>You.

Also they specifically stated they aren't going to even try to balance the game and laughed at the idea of game balance.

This despite it being a pvp game.

Honestly I wouldn't take any statements for a pre-alpha as final.

And yet, they're going in to making the game with an attitude of "feth balance and feth non-marines". This WILL have an impact on their game development.

It's quite likely that they're joking and/or trolling.

If all they're going to do is trolling, their game will suck ass in the end anyway, assuming it's ever released to begin with.

We'll have to wait and see. Very little of what is said several years before release is going to be true in the form it's stated in.

I remember when everyone was definitively sure that Dark of the Moon would have Unicron in it.

And until then, we judge the game based off of the information we do have, rather than overly hopeful wishlisting.

Well what we do know paints a rather bleak picture. But given that GW was wise enough to hand WHFB to the guys who make total war I'm very cautiously optimistic.

Or just avoid PvP areas? I'm going to assume that poeple don't just aimlesslessly wander around shooting each other, there will be some sort of "front line".

Apparently the main NPC enemies will be "buggie scum". Get your RAID cans ready boyz, it's 'nid choppin' time.

3/4 of the playable races are NOT marines

You have your math wrong. There are only two non-Marine factions out of four. That's 1/2, not 3/4ths. Of that, we know nothing about how Eldar will be implemented, and we know Orks will be gimped, existing only as cannon fodder five times weaker than Space Marines, with free-to-play players restricted to only the lowest rungs of the Ork progression ladder.

Or are you going to try to act like Chaos Space Marines are not actually, you know, Space Marines?
