>literally more excited for halo wars

You know people only take you seriously if you don't shit into your mouth?
You're saying that in a pretty lonely thread about DoW3's closed beta whereas Halo Wars 2 has already been released.

So you catched this news about a game you do not care about but you're not even aware the one you are excited about already came out a few weeks ago.

>>369356916

where were you when my thread was up you fags, beta is on and there was a huge leak
>>369350184

>>369357068
also, it indeed looks like a MOBA in the idea according to the videos: the main objective in a game is to destroy the enemy "core" (which definitely looks like LoL's one, just more technological), you can't attack it unless you have destroyed at least one turret (big laser-firing ones, but still turrets), and you can't destroy a turret until you have destroy a shield generator. So you'll definitely win the game in a "lane" like in MOBAs.
Most of the ressource points seem to be in "the jungle" though, so you'll fight there too.

>>369357431
>the main objective in a game is to destroy the enemy "core"

Is there a normal CoH style contrl point based mode as well? Regular skirmish?

Haven't played a game on my pc for almost a year now, this is the only thing I'm even remotely interested in.
Why do all games have to be bland grey pieces of shit these days? At least DoW3 looks like it might be fun to play with decent action.

>>369358354
i disagree

>>369357786
(guy you're answering to here)
well, I might be playing the devil's advocate here but the 1v1 game seemed quite fun, even with the MOBA elements. I'd prefer a classic "destroy HQ" mode, but as the "core" is just right next to your base, I feel like it will be close enough as is
2v2 seemed a bit less entertaining weirdly, but maybe it was because the guy playing didn't know what he was doing (not the case in the 1v1)

that's a copy of a leaked video, so yeah, the quality isn't that good on the 1v1. 2v2 looks better in terms of graphics, but a bit worse in term of gameplay imo (don't know why)

>>369358823
wtf chaos is in the game?

>>369358231
That's what happens when you don't say thanks to the Hungry Skeleton

>>369358908
literally everybody is wondering the same thing

not having chaos in a 40k game is like not having nazis in a ww2 game

>>369358823
nice to see someone correct my shitty images

>>369358908
It's not, it's a skin for an Imperial Knight. Apparently House Varlock(?) (the faction the Knight belongs to) has a symbol with an 8-pointed star - which I find a bit retarded.
Maybe it's to cover their bases for the Chaos expansion, where we'll discover Solaria was a Chaos cultist or something?

>>369359053
or having French as a paid DLC months after the release in a WW1 game

>>369359053
dow2 didn't have chaos in vanilla either sadly. i just thought that knight was chaos for a second, but looking at it more it seems to have standard imperium markings

Dawn of War 1 did it as well, anon-kun.
Starcraft is also a fun game, are you going to lynch developers for making fun games in the future?

It's impressive how bad they missed the mark here.

just make Dark crusade with updated craphics

>sometimes I think you want to fail

>>369358823
Pre-order not cancelled

>>369359252
it ran like shit and had terrible net code. also tey were a bit overzealous with unit preservation as the loss of a single tac squad likely costed you the game

>>369358823
So is individual unit customization confirmed, or will only the vehicles have skins similar to CoH2?

I like how it looks at least, and the ork theme is dope. I want to believe the gameplay is going to be good but i'm afraid to be disappointed. I mean, it's not like hero units are always alien and cancer to rts games, right? Am I missing any other MOBA elements aside from that and >>369357431?

>>369359261
dow1's problem is it felt like nothing you did mattered

>should I upgrade their weapons to better ones?
if you want lol doesnt matter anyway because they have the lifespan of flies

>should I build another 3 tanks or 50 squads of expendable infantry?
who cares! just build shit and throw it in there!

not to mention the pathfinding was total ass and the sync kills made some units fucking impossible to kill due to cheesing animations

DOW1 had many problems

>>369359616
>Am I missing any other MOBA elements.

You can have 3 of these, MOBAs are autistic about never making more than one.
They can be a squad of powerful units, not only a "hero".
They can also be super units.
They don't level up.
They don't gather resources (creep farming was a thing in W3).
They don't have any inventory.

They're literally super units, imited powerful units (think Terminators/Obliterators in the origo DoW) and commanders from just about any RTS camapign ever put into multiplayer.
They're miles apart from their W3 counterparts, let alone the Diablo-esque stuff in ASSFAGGOTS.

>>369359606
army painter is confirmed but no word on it yet.
You can see pink Orks in one of the videos though so maybe it is in the beta already?

>>369359616
>Am I missing any other MOBA elements
Apparently the devs were discussing the idea of including a "draft" mechanic for elite unit selection (there are a lot of elite units you can chose, but only 3 you can take in game)

>>369359616
>>369359964
people are calling it a moba because all they know how to do is shitpost and use buzzwords. hero units with abilities is not exclusive to moba's, but /v/ wouldn't know that since /v/ doesn't play video games

>>369360257
It just riles me up because I can see where the people are coming from and that the game has issues going forward.

But autistic screeching like that only really serves to make sure no one is ever going to even think about taking in any community feedback again.

Ok but is there a kind of draft before the game or do you just chose 3 and never see what your opponents have until you encounter it? (Can you even chose your elite units in the beta now that I think of it?)

>>369362254
You choose 3, and you see what your opponents have.

It's that simple.

>>369361952
Thats kind of how things are going really.

DoW1 peeps didnt like DoW2 and ended up going away.

DoW2 peeps, so far, are ending up disliking DoW3 .

Honestly the big units of DoW3 don't feel like DoW1 so far, and doesn't help with all the super shit players who been doing the example gameplay. It does have that cartoony feeling thats been pervading various mobas, mobile games, and so on and been showing signs of shit quality on asthetics in almost all videos shown thus far.

But that's my take. Seems like everyone is arguing the most inane shit like how consoles wars have been since the beginning of gaymin time. It just all looks really bad.

>>369362334
> who the fuck is criticizing 3 for having big armies?
not who you're quoting but quite a lot of people actually, saying "lol it's just blob vs blob" for every gameplay video. Mostly DoW2 and/or CoH fans I think

>>369362543
where? i've never seen it here, so i assumed you were talking about youtube so i just went through a few videos and nobody was saying that.

>>369362827
almost every thread about DoW3 I've seen on /v/ for a start - most of which degenerated in "DoW1 vs DoW2" pretty quickly
I've seen the complaint quite a lot on the official forums too

I loved DoW 1, loved DoW 2, so I'm gonna get DoW 3. I can't be the only one, right?

The only thing that might have been a tease is the black monuments with glyphs in some of the marketing material.

And there still might be Necrons, they'll just make a Winter Assault type appearance - a few squads of warriors and a monolith or two.

People who were hoping for a 4th faction were fooling themselves.

They use terms like "Tank" or "nuker" or "assassin"

Legacy of Dorn was decent if a little overpriced.
Both Space Hulk game were good.
BFG:A was good.
Sanctus Reach was good.
As for DoW1 vs DoW2:
DoW1 multi>>>>>DoW2 multi
But I liked the story of DoW2 more.

The beta folder has a mods folder in it, so I would assume you can mod it. To what extent though is another question. Also when you're in the main menu on the bottom right you start out with 200 "Relic Coins" which you will probably be able to buy when the game comes out for skins and other stuff like that.

Also checked.

What do you mean by this?

Yes but I meant, only "destroy the core" mode or are there other game modes, like "destroy the HQ" or "king of the hill" or something?

Also: how many maps?

Thanks for the answers btw

Actually I am kinda okay with graphics. It is not great but certainly not that bad as people paint it.
>gameplay
It looked a bit like it. Sterile and dullish with no weight behind player action.
Back than dark crusade was about to be released I remember Relic showed VOD with Tau vs Necrons taken from some test game so it was not really staged. All that players were doing there had meaning behind it and was entertaining to watch. I am not really seeing any of that from those two videos. Could be because it is "core mode".

Let's be fair, DoW set an impossibly high standard. Even better than Blizzard and C&C.

>>369369221
you're thinking DoW III here mate, not II

>>369369034
basically it doesn't play the same as DoW1 at all. The scale is smaller, the game have much, much more emphasis on unit preservation (like, loosing one model is huge for some armies), and added some cool mechanics (directional, "realistic" cover) and some less interesting ones (retreat mechanic, in short: a panic button that makes your squad run to your base with a huge speed bonus). The campaign was great too, with a lot of RPG elements to customize your dudes.
Only my opinion here though

>>369369602
They were supposed to keep that standard. Fucking leafs I swear they can ruin everything.

>>369369221

>It looked a bit like it. Sterile and dullish with no weight behind player action.
Well I quite like what I saw into the 1v1, but I agree the 2v2 we saw was indeed a bit dull. I guess it's the game mode, added to the low level of the player in the 2v2

I've been playing the beta since yesterday and can already say it's on a good way to be shit. They indeed have rehashed some things from 1 and 2, but at the same time wrapped them in the most bland, uninteresting way they could.

Covers are just camping bubbles rather than a meaningful way to spice up the dynamics of the battlefield, like in DoW1, where there were more of them, didn't require time to set up and slowed down units as a trade off.
Some heroes seem okay, seem are 1 man armies. This can be fixed with patches.

Maps, holy fuck the maps. Someone who designed them really took it to heart, to attract the ASSFAGGOTS crowd. Even the 3v3 map has only one smallish open field. Everything else is just corridors ridden with more corridors. Because of that there is not really much space to micro and the game sooner or later comes down to throwing blobs at each other. As for the nexus system from fucking assfaggots, it is spitting into faces of fans of earlier games.

Aesthetic wise this game is like DoW2 (which in that case was actually a good progression), but without any impact. There are no intense bolter sounds, no loud tanks (Baneblade from dow1? anyone?), no loudly screaming orks, music itself serves rather as a background noise than the driving force. Graphics are okay I guess, but everything is so shiny and small that most units look all the same after a while, especially when armies start to shoot each other.

The only redeeming quality is not that bad balance, which is surprising for relic.

I get it, it's an early beta, but my issues are deeply rooted in the game design and chances that they'd change that are very small.

>>369375313
>early beta
Release is in April.

>>369371489
oh, also, half the units sound like shit (the deathwatch squad sounds like it was made by some dude on youtube making his first voiceover)
and the sounds are shit for the most part. they don't pack any sort of punch or anything at all, no meaty sound effects whatsoever. Particles look bad as well for some things, like the ork trukk shooting.
>>369375313

>>369375313
>Everything else is just corridors ridden with more corridors. Because of that there is not really much space to micro and the game sooner or later comes down to throwing blobs at each other.
sounds like this is basically what they're going for, because of the whole 'escalation' deal that even gives a percent of costs for units back when they die. Throwing waves of shit at enemies while microing a couple of squads.

>>369377082
if you played mostly into the breach or kasyr luthien qs no rush, then yeah. Most maps were nice and open. Maybe next maps will bigger and spacier maps, but that's really not a good start

>>369359403
How fucking bad are you that you lose a tac squad ever?

>>369377801
will be bigger and spacier*

>>369371489
>no actual cover, only bubble shit
DoW2's cover system couldn't work at that scale, it has been debated on any DoW thread I've seen for the past few months
I guess they could have done something similar to DoW1, but decided to make the cover more visible, more "powerful" (in the sense that this is not simply damage reduction, the units are just fucking invulnerable until you destroy the bubble), and to give a better role to melee units (it is to my understanding that melee units can enter the bubble)

>prob no last stand
Relic actually said there will be no Last Stand at release, but they were thinking of a co-op mode in the same vein. I guess they'll do like they did with DoW2 and add it later as a patch - or maybe a DLC since this is SEGA we're talking about...

The rest of the criticism is valid in my opinion.

>>369376440

>>369378125
yea I know dow 2's cover couldn't really work, thats not what I mean. they could have went for cover like dow 1, which could actually fit the terrain and look good. It just looks really jarring and gross now. And for escalation, it seems like every 10(?) minutes, a new tier comes into play (dunno if it only goes up to tier 3, only watched the two leaked footages) and for the orks at least, you would get a bit of resource reclaim when units died, building health increased, resource rate increased as well. You also get a ton of resources and some elite points for killing off turrets/generators in that one mode. It sounds cool, but obviously is just going to promote lots of unit spam. though honestly I'm alright with how it is, I don't really mind spamming units and microing a couple, but they coulda put more effort into it

>>369378530
yes, tons of voice acting as usual, like dow 2, but some of them sound pretty garbage. Some sound great, though.

Hu, so you gain some ressources every X minutes automatically and your building become more resistant? Interesting mechanic. This means the longer the game lasts, the longer it can last actually, because even if you were on the brink of defeating an enemy, he may use this boost of ressource and in defense correctly and counter you.

For the ork voices, those are just from the ork gameplay from gamespot, you can hear gretchins basically right away.

Relic writers are complete shit tier, and they have no idea how to properly portray the different factions of Chaos.

>9 traitor legions with their own background, methods of warfare, and differing levels of devotion to the dark gods
>throw in the Chaos daemons and you have even more variation
>and then throw in the non-CSM/daemon forces who also follow Chaos (renegade Inquisitors, traitor IG regiments, rogue psykers and sorcerers) for even more stuff

But with how they've portrayed Chaos in the past games, tertiary fans like >>369382939 don't know any better, so there's less of a demand for Chaos. Which leads to them not getting proper treatment when they are added, which leads to less of a demand, etc.

>>369382341
how do you even sign up for this beta? cant find it on the site

>>369383806
Its not like the other factions are portrayed more diversely or better

>>369383806
I found their treatment in DoW2 to be better than in DoW1. Marks, more daemons, huge emphasis on cultists, etc.
Thing is, they can't make 10 different Chaos armies, just like they can't make 10 different Space Marines armies.

There is no tactic here. Just spam units and that's it. When you have more than 4 squads the game escalates into clusterfuck where you can't see shit. Also units are dying pretty fast so you can't respond that much and YOU CAN'T SEE SHIT.

But that's being disingenuous - it's alright to lose if you have a fun game. But getting completely fucking steamrolled is NEVER fun, and that's what happens to orks.

If I table someone on turn 3, he's not gonna say "Oh well it's just a friendly game, I had fun!" He's gonna say "Man this army is kind of shit, isn't it?" It's unsatisfying to lose and knowing there really wasn't anything you can do about it.

The first 3 are - kills, elite deaths or kills, losses and the last 3 are resources(duh).
The unit icons are the elites and on the right are the perks, apparently it shows only yours at the end of the game.
At the bottom under Team Totals, the 7 icons represent the 3 power generators, 3 turrets and 1 power core. Currently in the only game mode in the beta, you have to make your way through a power generator, turret and destroy the core.

Eldar on the other hand used to own the galaxy and see themselves above every other species so see humans as apes barely worth interacting with and when people are on their former planets they'll exterminate them without batting an eye.

Eldar want to survive at any cost, which means they'll sacrifice Imperial worlds with absolutely no qualms. They also attack the Imperium when they settle on worlds claimed by the Eldar (even if they're not actively living there).

The Imperium just fucking hates xenos.

If anybody should be allies, it should be Eldar and Necrons. I can think of zero legitimate reason for them to dislike each other as much as they do.

>>369386245
First autistic things first
>Empire
no, it's the Imperium. it is indeed and empire, but there are many empires in the 40k-verse
Secondly, there are no good guys in 40k. The humans are xenophobic to the extreme, and its partially BECAUSE of shitters like the Eldar, who are on the brink of extinction and never hesitate to manipulate the other races to save one of theirs - even if it means the destruction of tens of human planets and all their population.
They sometimes ally though, but it never lasts

>>369386857
>If anybody should be allies, it should be Eldar and Necrons. I can think of zero legitimate reason for them to dislike each other as much as they do.

Well they are rivals, Eldar were made to fight crons.

>>369386148
These models look even worse than in DoW1

>>369386857
Hu, Eldar were basically created by the Old Ones to fight Necrons. They're the most ancient ennemies of the setting

>>369386857
Eldars were made to fight Necrons.

They are a psychic race, which goes against everything the Necrons want in the galaxy.

The Necrons are even more advanced than they are, and thusly even more smug.

And their logic both amount to get off my lawn. Except the Necrons are older, and their claim has more weight.

Skynet is bad, terminators need to be exterminated before they exterminate you.

That was their old reason and the rewritten space Tomb Kings never addressed the issue.
So for all intents and purposes, Eldar are fighting them because they're Skynet even if they aren't any more.

>>369386589
You heard me right, perks.

And some have a significant impact too, SM for example:
- Being able to reinforce near points with a listening post.
- Normal marines gaining charge when engaging in melee.
- Predators gaining shields.
And so on.

Yeah but that was so long ago, wasn't it? Even by Eldar standards that has to be beyond ancient history. Or are you saying they don't have a choice, and they are genetically predisposed to hate Necrons? Cause that would be fucked up and also kind of cool.

Right, but they've toned down the anti-psyker aspect of the Necrons by a lot in recent years (which I dislike).

It may have went over the autistic heads of most people but they were clearly just making an excuse.
You can't say "I'm an art director and you're just a shitty band of autists who know shit about this so let me do my job."
No, these are legitimate autists you're dealing with.
Feelings do not exist for autists, only pure reason. So they made up a bogus rationale behind it: "It is made this way to support clarity."
And autists were silenced once again.

>>369387354

Hu, for the Eldar maybe, yes, but the Necrons didn't forget about the Eldar. They may have been sleeping for millenias but to them, it's not that long ago.
>Right, but they've toned down the anti-psyker aspect of the Necrons by a lot in recent years (which I dislike)
They have a psychic resonance now?

>>369387354
Eldars are slow to change because of Slaanesh. New and exciting things are not their style.

And many dynasties bow to the C'tans. Making them the enemy of all living things. The Silent King may not want complete genocide of every race, but not all Necrons will follow him

>They may have been sleeping for millenias but to them, it's not that long ago

A good point. It just seems like many of the Necron characters (Trazyn, Szeras, Zahndrekh) don't have a hatred for Eldar in particular.


>They have a psychic resonance now

If you mean they have psykers, no.

But they no longer have Pariahs (although Szeras is working on that) and the "C'tan are the antithesis to the Chaos gods" is no longer a thing.

They still have the technology to banish daemons and dispel warp storms, but their work to cut the materium off from the immaterium is no longer one of their main goals.

>>369388174
all depends on if you can modify the schemes of elite units like angelos and shit. It'll be all for nothing if your army looks cool as fuck but you still have blood ravens angelos leading it.

>>369387972
>And many dynasties bow to the C'tans

No they don't. C'tan shards are considered the lowest of the low among the military forces of the dynasties.

>>369388471
Lowest of the low does not mean they don't still exist. Correct me if I'm wrong, but it is still very possible to fluff your army in the fashion of the Oldcrons.

>>369386245
Because Humans hate all xeno scum, and the Emperor explains really well why they should hate xeno scum.


Eldar consider Humans total niggers and the number one reason Chaos forces are so strong right now.

Not to mention that few Humans distinguish between Commorrites and Craftworlders, as they shouldn't since Commorrites and Craftworlders still get along "fairly" well.

>>369388650
>Lowest of the low does not mean they don't still exist

Right, but the dynasties certainly don't bow down to them.

>Correct me if I'm wrong, but it is still very possible to fluff your army in the fashion of the Oldcrons.

Kind of? There are no more fully powered C'tan (or if there are, they're in hiding or something, I'm not sure what the state of the Void Dragon is). Even a transcendent C'tan shard is barely a shadow of a fragment of its full power.

So you could fluff your army out to be in the service of a C'tan shard, but if they were, wouldn't it just command them to release it so that it is no longer imprisoned?

>>369387498
Perks aren't sold, nor unlockable yet.

They took the CoH perks and decided that they should do more than give 3% bonus range or damage.

>>369387682

They don't have a hatred for anyone in particular, but they don't particulary care either. Not that they don't feel anything - it's more than every other race feel like insects to them.
>their work to cut the materium off from the immaterium is no longer one of their main goals
Now I get what you meant

>>369388650
Well, they're shards. Which means they've been broken into pieces.
I think some C'tan may have survived and taken control of some Necrons, but it is clearly not the majority of them

>>369389263
hopefully there isnt bullshit locked behind a paywall
any chance of seeing the elite screen though?

>>369387354
>they are genetically predisposed to hate Necrons? Cause that would be fucked up and also kind of cool.

I think they kind of are, and correct me if I'm wrong, but even Dark Eldar who have nothing to gain from fighting Necrons still do it anyway. It's either just normal hate as Dark Eldar are prideful as fuck and might've not liked losing the first time around or genetic hate.

>>369355646
Looks like shit, I don't want to remember DoW this way.

>>369389105
Well as a shard, they may not have the power to come out of the maze fully.

And anyway, so long as mindless Necrons exist and others are higher on the totem pole, I see no fluff contradiction for a Phareon to still worship the C'tan. Transhumanism is a thing, after all.

And back to ther original point, the Eldars have told horror stories of the Necrons for 60 millions years. They are not likely to change their minds so fast, not when their death is imminent. Better be rid of the enemy than ally with the stuff of nightmares.

As for the Necrons, they went to sleep seeing the Eldars as servants of the Old ones. A roadblock on their way to reclaim the galaxy.

So, no real reason for them to ally, fluffwise.

Dude, you're really kocked in the head if you think anything in the universe has anything close to a rational exlanation that doesn't end up being "Becasue it's cool" or "Because the thing they ripped off/parodied does it".
They've just released a tidbit about Guillman mopping the floor with Chaos One Punch Man style.
Quoting things like solid titanium pillars that the Chaos Marines were punched through with such a force they only flew threw with a silhouette hole remaining in said pillar.

Jumping terminators happened in the lore and they're about as retarded as the rest of the setting, case closed.

>>369394268
>Cost Resources

They do. Elites have a specific resource that you need in order to call them down, on top of a death cooldown.

>>369394268
Why though? The most OP units cost the most elite points, so there is a sense of balance, and from the 2 vids it seems like you can't have all your elite units from the get-go, can't replace them instantly and can only call them in near your buildings, so I fail to see a problem here

>>369394234
Extra skulls, paints, doctrines, master skin, might be missing something.

>>369394268
They cost purple resource initially. After dying, you can spawn them on a long cooldown.

>>369394617
>>369394649
Do you actually spend those points? Or is is it like command points in CoH. You got 4 points. now here, have a gorgutz and you keep those 4 points? If you actually spend them then im allright with it.
Next problem i have is: If it has no classic anihilation and critical location/victory point gamemodes to play im not gonna buy this.

>>369394812
So after they die they cost no more points? That is shite.

>>369394938
Spend them. Think it works like >>369394812 said, they cost an initial count and after they die you have to wait a long time but then they're free afterwards. May not be the case though, the Ork video has some proof though. Each one likely has a different countdown.

>>369394812
>tfw skins will probably only be for elite units and nothing else, a step down from dow 2
im expecting it, and its lame. Also, no elite points every time they summon just means everyone will put out their elites asap just so they won't have to pay more points for them, thats shit.

>>369394010
you don't. you get people to pay money for them. like in coh 2.

>>369395129
If they work the way I think they do (That is, it takes a long time to get a single point and may take away from other resource generation) then rushing Elite resources may put you at a disadvantage, especially with how easy Elites can go down.

>>369395408
Dont think it takes away, just slow as fuck. Thees usually a point that has a puple node to boost income, but its in the center, where the big fights happen.
