I don't know what the affect of gender-specific races on an MMORPG would be...and I don't want to know.

And what do you think that Marines, Chaos Marines and Orks are? Or is it okay when it's all-male?

Actually CSM would have non-male marines. Thank you Slaanesh for making things ambiguous.

Well I see an Eldar shooting at the Orks!!! LOL haa you mean the ARG..... I can't tell since the purpose of an ARG is to be hard. Battles-Brothers are getting close and there is a Russian Guild with 10 people working together with a member at pack trying to find the Warp bubble moving around (high power wifi Eternal Crusade) to log in and break another part of the puzzle.

Miguel

i haven't recive the call :(

Looking further though, this pic shows some classes we can play as Id assume. So We can be Lootas and Stormboyz, as well as a Mek and a Mega Armored Nob?!? Ohhh man.... Im getting that tingly feeling in my man parts

And once more, how is a Mega Armored Nob going to work as far as how slow they are? I mean, yea they would rip up a squad of good guys with ease...but what will keep said squad from not just running away?

Presumably, the done thing would be to load them up into a Trukk. Or maybe they'll have some method of deep-striking. Certainly, some tactical flanking could get them into position.

Ha, thank you. Though I didn't mean it as a burn, just pointing out the obvious problem in criticising the Sisters for being a mono-gendered faction.

Hell, they're actually less mono-gendered than Marines or Orks, since they have clergymen and Flagellants, both of which are usually depicted as male. Doubt they'd be playable classes were the Sisters added, though

Sisters of Battle without the Insane Screaming Priests? That'd be blasphemy! Flagellents couldn't be played likely, but the priests at least have the badges of office (Which do double as force fields), and then you have the ones that can lead entire armies..

I'm just thinking that it'd be weird to suddenly swap genders for just one class is all. But maybe it's just me.

Female priests? I'm up for that.

Priests may well be better suited for the Imperial Guard, come to think of it. Granted, they're from a different organisation, but so are Commissars - and whilst every Imperial Guard regiment has Preachers attached to it, the Sisters only work with them from time to time.

They could work similar to Commissars, just more focused on close rather than ranged combat and conferring a different bonus to nearby troops. Perhaps they'd give a bonus to movement speed and close combat, whereas the Commissar makes them reload/shoot faster or something.
Maybe Eternal Crusade could take a page from Mount & Blade Napoleonic Wars as far as such "officer mechanics" are concerned.

Both the Commissar as well as the Priest could also have some sort of "power" with a cooldown, such as the Commissar shooting in the air and yelling around (BLAM'ming IG player troops is probably out of the question ) whereas the Priest presents some sort of holy symbol and shouts a litany or something...

Come on guys, lets crack this!

That doesn't answer what I'm asking though. MANz shine in CC, so I'm curious how they won't be ran away from. That's be like asking "how will boys effectively deal with flyer's " and answering " with lootas " that totally dodges the question.

Though the transports or a deep strike would certainly get that job done.

What? They skipped the best klan of the Orks? WTF over? Where are my Blood Axes?

They did say that they'd be open to adding more subfactions in after launch, so they might be in at some point.

Good work on the minigame guys. Your notes look as convoluted as the answer. I don't think I'm going to be much help in these lol.

Isn't this the same problem as any TEQ unit will have? Hammernators and all that.

I won't be any use here...but I hope some group of people write a coherent analysis of all this and how they found it all out when this is finished hehe

What do people think the reward will be?

So, for those of you that weren't at the ARG event. The ingame item code will be available until Monday:

www.eternalcrusade.com/claim

code: Red Admiral PAX 2013 (case sensitive)

Big up for all the guys and gals that worked hard to find the code

It was a joy to find that stuff.

Also, the google doc looks like latin now. XD

Well the problem is, going by the codex, a MANz unit cant deepstrike or teleport, we dont have the options like SM do. So in that sense, if there isnt a steady supply of vehicles OR if we cant just use teleportas, then I was curious how we would counter such a problem as speed. Because if a lowly Guardsmen is faster on foot than a MANz, eventually he would kill the MegaNob just because its a slow poke.

You are aware that MANZ also have giant guns right..?

Besides, they teleport all the time in the fluff, just not personal teleportas.

Combi-Rokkits would help, also it depends on if they allow for Tellyporta's and the such, or can be teleported by Warpheads.

So how is everyone feeling about this thing?

I really like the effort the developers have been doing to actually talk to the community for suggestions

I'm optimistic about it, and I think that a lot of other 40K fans are too. And like you mentioned, I think a big part of this is due to the good public relations by the devs. They've made it clear that they're hobbyists like us, and have been very open for such a big-project game.

Obviously I'm reserving final judgement until I've actually played the thing, but what we've seen so far is quite promising.

Dear Crusaders,
This week reveal will be the ORKS!!! and beta testing the forums right now... I know you want them but ''I'' know you are tough to please so I am making sure the forums will be a WOW factor with a lot of flexibility for you.
The way you dress gets you a date.... what happen after depends on who you are but the first impression is important.
I want to be THE cute date you have dreamed about..... figure of speaking!!!
:-)
