People on this board have a phobia of /v/

When I played it a month ago, it was "playable" in the sense that there is the ghost of a game there, but very very rough around the edges.

it's a really bad game with terrible melee, could've copy pasted space marine 40,000 combat and it'd be good

Because it looks like it's gonna be complete garbage.

i felt the same way too, but just tried it now and it's pretty fantastic. I'm only playing chaos but they seem really polished. Your battlecries change based on which chaos god sigil you have. I'm a smutty pervert so when I shout Slaneesh, and when I started a PvE match (which are really fun btw) my marine shouted ''SAVE THE PRETTIEST, I WANT THEM' and I laughed my ass off.

they have, it's gotten better

I thought this was doomed to be forever vapourware?

Failed Dreams

.mfw those threads filled with people who were buying early access.

Game is shit. The hype train is all about deathwing now.

release is in 9 days and it's actually gotten good

Fuck it, I'm gonna buy it.

Anyone playing?

I am bae, lots of people are, it seems to have a dedicated group of people for each faction (except I only play chaos or eldar so can't speak for the others)

Its literally space marine


but with crappier graphics

the game never had those graphics. It looks better.

>wonky space marine multiplayer with elves

woo

Everyone whines and screams about everything they perceive wrong with the game, whether or not it's accurate. Not sure if it's /v/ crossover or just petulant 40kids but it's grating.

I don't like anything about this post.

I am sorry you feel that way, user.

Impression I always get is people still are hung up over Miguel offering false promises and open world being delayed. Otherwise the game is shaping up to be half neat, IMO.

but it could have been more

>but could have been more

Literally every game ever, guy. The current product is pretty good and the community manager chick is qt af.

that woman looks like alex jones in drag

Shut up, you'll blow his cover.

says the virgin

have they released orks as a playable faction?

Yes, alongside Eldar, Chaos Marines, and Space Marines. If you ever fight alongside Grot-Toof, know that you have fought alongside me!

Yes. Had some hitbox issues until recently, and they're still being balanced up to the levels of the other factions.

Their vehicles get horns though so it's all good.

please tell me you arent one of those low-functioning autistic ork players that type in ork speech

I can't decide whether to say yes and have you lose more faith in humanity, or no and have some random stranger on the internet have a slightly less horrible opinion about me...

Yes, I do type in Ork speech.

...

are you saying you don't type like your faction?

You must bore the bullocks off your friends.

Your disdain sustains me.

gonna buy it tomorrow, it's time for the WAAAGGGHH boys!

Haha no I take my supermalevitality just like Katie

>people didn't see this huge scam coming from a mile away
>those fucking founder's only forums a year before the game was even playable talking about all the extras they bought

I don't want to be a dick and I don't really like the look of this game..

But if you're not rping an ork while playing as an ork in a 40k game I think it's safe to say you're having the wrong kinda fun.

I mean it's the one faction in the game that's actually a bit goofy amid the grimderp.
I would say lighten up a little.

Does it have eldar jetbkes? If not I don't care.

every time i see this gif, i wana go play the game again

Space marine was great

I heard the Orks had issues when they first were added. Are they fun enough to make up for it? Wasn't going to look at the game until they were added.

Broken promises: The Game.

It's worth it if you can pick up on sale on steam. Jump pack levels are the best part. Live out your dreams of being the physical embodiment of the Emperor's wrath and fury

Recenly I feel like that ork become pretty much underdogs and space marines win every times.

The WAAGH features don't seems to work anymore. It suppose to trigger for speed boost and fast respawning.

it sadly is garbage

Because it's terrible.

The Bolter sounds like a piddly fucking SMG, when it should be something like this firing in 4 round bursts with high-explosive ammunition.

The eldar finally have banshees.
They are pretty fun, and make eldar offense actually a viable possibility.

>no Imperial Guard

no interest

Your standards in games is as low as your standard in woman.

There never is an eternal crusade thread. For the same reason there isn't regular threads for shit 40k games. We don't even have regular threads for the decent ones.

It breaks my heart as I was really looking forward to playable Aspect Warriors and was pretty much willing to part with cash as soon as I heard "Striking Scorpions", but I wasn't expecting it to look quite as terrible as it did. All they needed to do was remake Space Marine, but EC makes that look like it's fucking DMC3.

The game seems like they took Space Marine, and somehow hollowed it out to make it feel empty.

One of the things Space Marine got right was the feel of actually being an Astartes. You felt like you had weight. Hitting things with your fists, feet and weapons actually felt like you were a walking tank - yet you never felt slow or cumbersome. Combat in that game was fucking majestic.

Eternal Crusade is like a poor-mans Space Marine. It honestly feels like some mobile company made a shitty korean rip off, like those weird pictures you see of backpacks which have a picture of Sonic but say Mario.

Am I the only one who honestly likes the game?

no i like it user i dunno why these people are being grumpy gus's

Video game RPG's will never be as good as a tabletop roleplaying game the sooner people realise that the better.

have the devs fixed the sound clipping yet? was watching a stream from April this year and there was some pretty bad sound clipping.

How much armor customization is currently available in the game? Are Heresy-era armor marks present yet? And have Terminators been implemented?

I don't play SM, only Eldar, and there is none for them currently, except for different colors on warlocks from different craftworlds.
I've seen a Night Lord helmet, though.

con artist got kicked out and it's been improving.

This sucks, I wanted the MMORPG where you could play an admech, a psyker, a guardsman, or a space marine. But Instead what I got was an over-the-shoulder shooter where you can only ever be a fucking space marine. Fuck that shit.

Why, though, I am playing Swooping Hawk and it's just as I imagined. You do nothing whole game with your paper armor and fancy lasgun.

story? I bought this game when it first popped up on steam but haven't really followed it.

I want the RPG where you can do that, screw the MMO part!

>where you can only ever be a fucking space marine
Or an Eldar. Or an Ork. And we have no idea if the devs have any other factions planned as future content.

They'd like to get all the factions in. Yes, including the Sisters.

I was kind of surprised how much people wanted Sisters.

It was a pleasant surprise.

How the fuck would IG work?

Only the special forces

Shit like Scions,Storm Troopers,Catachan Devils,Elysians

Space Marine was smoother, still excited tho

If they make it F2P they might do Guardsmen how the first director imagined Orks, Guardsman as the only class available to F2Players with limited progression.

Too bad that melee still favors power maul spamming fags.

M8 the game was never gonna be like that.

Meta favors power mauls?

I've only seen Powerfists and the rare chainsword.

Game is genuinely fun. It's bad, but it's so bad that it's fun.

Maybe we should make a Veeky Forums guild or some shit? Come on, I see that anons here are playing, so maybe we can stick together and have fun once in a while.

I want this game to be good because the Space Marine multiplayer was fun as fuck but the player base is dead, but even their official trailer looks like utter gash

I bought the game when it had first come out in EA.

I'm happy to hear it's almost ready. They have to release before deathwatch or it will be DOA.

I also had not deleted it off of my workstation so I'll give it a go shortly...

But sadly all that was really needed was a lobby browser to SM40k

You just know there will be one teamkilling fuck with "Lijah Cuu" as his username.

People don't rp because their autistic, they do it for fun, acting like an ork is half the fun of playing orks.

Having fun is autism.

>implying it's ready

It's being made to the barest possible standard and shoved out because they're probably running out of money and Early Access sales are drying up and they figure they can patch whatever is broken afterwards.

the game is not finished, with warlords, specialised veterans and an interactive world map with player driven campaigns missing
the maps are few and repetitive in patterns and assets
Balance is far from reached with heavy bolters and equivalents effectively being too strong and too precise especially against vehicles
all the maps bar 2 suffer from a great disbalance in favour of the defenders, with respawns way closer to the point to defend even when the enemy is near or inside the point and having access to ideal chokepoints
the lack of textures and true artistic direction is replaced by adherence to the plastic model line and an excessive use of light flares and reflecting surfaces with no true attention to ambience lighting and fogs
many animations are not fluid nor seem to possess proper weight, especially for the xenos
the models clip and are extremely basic to allow space for visuals microtransations
the progression is almost identical from faction to faction and the weapon variety has now been locked behind a grindwall that now risks of unbalancing the factions in favor of the eldar given their greater number of classes practically gives them more and specialised weapons from the start
the balance between close combat and ranged shifts from patch to patch, doing little steps ahead followed by long slides backwards due to bugs
the devs can't manage to have truly asymmetrical characteristics between the factions, being almost identical in terms of stats and at times spells and devices

BUT the game has put solid mechanical foundations: the kind of gameplay which is being achieved more and more is enticing while the updates are consistently perfecting the atmosphere, the map design and the look of characters

I have little hope for this game's survival, but if it manages to see a year more of updates I'm confident it will git gud

i give it 6 months before its dead

we're going to see terminators in 3

yeah but if they force it out for release in week, when its clearly not ready, they're gonna take a huge hit on sales.

Hey, we're not talking about Star Citizen here. Wrong thread.

>there will never be a game where you get to play a Seraphim flying
>you will never crash into other players and melt them with your hand flamers

The character plays an entire squad, which loses members as health goes down. That's how I'd want to see it. Effectiveness drops with health, so their infantry is weak, but numerous, with new squadmates coming in as chunks of health, and vanishing just as quickly as they get murdered.

Their vehicles, being IG, would be why you REALLY play them.

Why would you willingly want to play a shitty freemium game?

>pie in the sky new mmo with huge faction conflicts shockingly fails to deliver, devolves into something else
>w-well i liked space marine's multiplayer anyway!

At least somebody is happy with that train wreck.

Eternal Crusade != Dark Millenium

It's not as good as Space Marine's multiplayer yet anyways. But it lets me play as wun uv da boyz, so it's going that going for it.

How would melee, shooting, loadouts, healing, cover, and getting into vehicles work?

I have no idea why THIS is the go to idea for you wannabe meathshields. It makes zero sense.

Does it atleast have good customization

>Dark Millenium
>there was another big 40k mmo that fizzled out and I never even heard of it

Eternal Crusade was going to be 1000 man battles on the one big mega server with hordes of f2p orks, a p2w cash shop and loads of other bullshit. I don't know what Dark Millennium was about but EC had plenty of its own problems.

>almost identical in terms of stats
I played it when the orks recently came out and a about a week before they buffed the Ork accuracy (too much imo, but better for the meta).
the stats between the factions are exactly the same: 100 hp, 100 armour base.
Eldar have it harder to get the better armor since they can only get the tier 3 (gold) armour upgrade(easy for Scorpions).

the extra trinkets for stat upgrades are stupid expensive for what they do (50 space for 2 HP/Armour?!).

No PowerKlaws in the build I played, or in the later builds based on videos. That guy with the Powerfist you killed? he's coming right back to Fist you before you can react while you cap

a Meta tactic used the most for "Seize the 3 objective for VP" mode during my playtime, is zoom past the front line and cap the rear.

Stormboyz can't use melta bombs, which I'm sad about
Stormboyz are just boyz with rokketpacks, nothing special, not even cosmetically.

the rokketpistol stuns on hit and autolocks with the normal ironsight zoom. Loved playing the Boyz for this.

I'm a little annoyed that the rhino stormbolter doesn't have the player's body exposed while manning it. they could of done it in a way that the gunner can hide (toggled viva crouch or whatever) and then spring up to use the stormbolter.

I'm really annoyed that the Shoota Boyz' rokketlauncher only has 1 rokket per load, so it's a waste of a main gun. I could've used the Shoota Boyz as a proxy TankBusta boy
>bonus if they can give it bulletdrop like an RPG
-----
if they plan on adding IG, it will have to be after they finally put in a world map for factions to fight in.

I would like to see a Leman Russ Battle Tank, bikes, and flyers. Knowing their work ethics/planning, we're not going to see flyers for a long time if at all.

>if they plan on adding IG, it will have to be after they finally put in a world map for factions to fight in.
don't worry, they don't plan to
first candidate is necrons, but even then they will prefer to add standalone veterans for the existing factiona because it's easier
things like a veteran sister of battle for the marines, a daemon for chaos, a harlequin for eldar or a freeboota for orks
