It's actually kind of insane how fast TW:WH has sold. I mean, it broke 500k owners on steam this weekend, and that's only seven days.
I guess it helps that the game managed to not be an absolute mess when released. I've only had to deal with one bug in the game that was a real issue.
Invocation of nehek literally doesn't work so vampires are nothing like they should be.
Everything else is okay.
Their 40k releases over the past 2 years have killed the huge playerbase that existed in Phoenix, AZ. No one here plays 40k anymore, and it used to be wildly popular. Escalation caused a huge number to quit, the other release that saw a large number stop playing was the Eldar codex.
GW is so fucking stupid. Alienating the people who market their game to newbies is suicide. They are so out of touch its unreal.
>What went wrong?
well,
>no points because the people who play tested it was close friends and knew not be a bastards to each other.
> Hero Models cost in range of 30-50 fucking dollars. not including the Fuck-Huge models
>destroyed a decent low fantasy setting for generic WoW setting.
> The Empire is reduced to Imperial Guard tire bullshit, and not the Goodly Good guys defending Humanity from the forces of Chaos.
If their is anything they did right, it was the 85 dollar start collecting sets.
I live in Phoenix and the game is fine
why do anti gw shills always lie
>me and my 4 friends play still, so the player base is still exactly as healthy!
How long have you been playing? Because 3 years ago at Imperial the place was full of 40k games on a friday night. Now you barely see anyone playing it ever, except for the tournaments.
The new place in Scottsdale has zero 40k players. Thats straight from the owners mouth.
The GW in N Scottsdale has a tiny playerbase of cancerous that guys.
And the place is Mesa shut down earlier this year.
So idk what you mean by 'the game is fine'. Compared to what it was pre 6th edition, it is literally dead here.
I don't really know how this game is going, but by personal experience, I saw people buy only old WFB models (that are now labeled AoS), in the GW store i know, then go to the FLGS nearby and buy square bases
a few neckbeard stores shutdown
Hat's Games in Tucson shutdown too (another neckbeard store)
this has no bearing on if Warhammer is dying since stores are still running tournaments and events frequently.
