>>376139989

Oh so turning RTS into a MOBA to try to aproach milenials and dumbing down the game and making strategies so streamlined to kill every sense of creativity didnt work out so well, who would have though of that?

I would like to talk with developers just to see whats in their heads, if they dont belive in RTS playerbase and think that taking classic Dawn of War Dark Crusade aproach wouldnt work, why making the game in the first place?

They literally ignored the fanbase and kept lying and saying "YES GOY THIS IS THE GAME YOU WANTED" when everyone was calling em out on their shit from day one.
>>
>>376142658
>Where did it go so wrong?
it went wrong at the exact moment when Relic decided to make DoW3 a RTS game similar to DoW1, not a real time tactics game similar to DoW2. Nobody plays RTS that are not starcraft these days and this is the real reason why DoW3 is dying, not because "it's a MOBA".
>>
>>376142658

They are catering too much to attract masses but truth is nobody accept die hard fans care for it and they scared fans off with catering,

Every fan want DoW1 playstyle or at least good single player campaing that 40k is faimous for, DoW3 has none of that.

Holy shit of all the things people have said about DoW3 this is the dumbest.

Please tell me how its not an RTS? I sure hope you are not just spouting that "ITS A MOBA" when it clearly isn't.

You have a base, you make huge armies, you capture points and you have hero units, just because you don't like the game does not mean its "not an RTS"
>>
>>376143310
lmao are you for real
total war is closer to grand strategy than to RTT of all things
>>
>>376143126

In a word:
Macro

Income is slow and units are extremely expensive, so you don't have to focus on macro at all.

They claim they have basebuilding but in reality the basebuilding is so minor and useless that they could have just had every unit come from the main starting building.

Base Building is also pointless because you already start with your base at the designated BEST SPOT of the map and would have no reason to build elsewhere unless you are doing really well. Plus there is no incentive to destroy the bases because it's behind the Power Core and all you have to destroy is the Power Core. This game is a fucking MOBA shit show.

Sounds like how the Company of heroes series works.
More enphasis on tactics, instead of just making a death stack blob and launching it agaisnt your enemy base.

To be honest. That really doesnt sound bad.
Coh games are amazing and if DoW3 is similiar it sounds like a good game.

Except there is no tactics because there are so few objectives.

In starcraft, you could take an extra base, you could raid the opposing mineral line, you could launch a full scale attack, you have tons of things you can be working towards and executing.

In dawn of war 1, there are tons of requisition points, so you can attack and claim them or attack the main base, again, tons of things to do.

In DOW3, there are almost no points to attack, and the base is defended automatically by a strong turret. So the only thing you really get to do is sit there and build up a blob army if you are ahead on points, or desperately try to take back a point before their resource advantage gets too high, which is again blob vs blob.

Maybe we were playing different games.
But my experience with starcraft was just people circle jerking each other about efficiensy builds. If you didnt have X workers by the 2 minute mark, you might as well surrender.
And raiding a camp was mostly ignored because the enemy was already pushing on your main base.

Cant really debate you on DoW 3 since I havent played it and seen very little gameplay.

DoW3 died because evryone sperged out about "MUH MOBA!", and the Steam Reviews tanked because faggots with 20 minutes of playtime decided that they knew everything about the game and dragged the score down, leading to RTS fans doing their typical thing of sperging and shouting aboht "WHY ARE THERE NO MORE RTSES!" insteas of olaying the damn game themselves.

Most everyone who shouted MOBA and shit on the game played one game, completely lost, and then started shouting about other things without actually looking into them. They're going to release more maps for free. The same with Elites. And Mod tools are in the game.

DoW3 died because the RTS fanbase, small as it is, has no fucking clue how to look at their own games.

I'm enjoying the 2v2 multiplayer, having a lot of fun with a friend.

But it's true they could drastically improve the game with a few easy fixes :
- Like removing the whole tower/shield/core and making it a kill every building (slightly buffing building HP except listening post/tower/gates to compensate)
- Paying a good amount of attention to the balance of the game and releasing continuous updates
- Adding more maps
- Making units's power closer to the lore (For exemple making Marines stronger than they are but obviously making them more expensive for balance, it seems silly that they would get beaten by a simple squad of guardian or orks)
- Making a better and more intuitive army painter with more insignas, color patterns etc...

I think it would also be better to separate ressources, for exemple to generate power you don't need to cap points but build generators in your base or something. And in addition not make it such a necessity for the most powerful units, that way you leave different build paths.
>>
>>376146025
In spirit it is correct. One might get burned of the series because they did not like DoW2.

On the other hand, posting this every thread is just a way to get (you)s. Making this image and the ones that usually follow bait.

In other words, they avoided DoW3 because everyone said to wait until expansions.Makes sense, the game itself is threadbare and has a lot of missing quality of life features (keybindings, menus that work etc). People should wait until more content, maps, features get added and bugs get fixed. Or they should wait until the faction they like get added and there is reason for them to be interested.

Not him but the problem arises with every RTS. the alleged community shits on every game in the genre that comes out, and then complains that no new games are released. Which is a lie.

I think most people are waiting on expansions judging by the steam reviews and charts. Concensus is its a decent RTS but if that faction you like isn't in, then there's nothing worthwhile to keep you playing.

Its a chance for them to finally finish this gutted version of a game (they made like 3 fucking versions, one was an actual moba). If they don't put their best foot forward, if its just another army and doesn't fix anything on the list of complaints, then I will gladly proclaim it the series dead

At that point Gearbox and SEGA were trying to pass the buck on whom dropped the eggy fart on that mess of a game. Must have been the worse kind of job doing the development for the followup.

Which is why I'm curious about DoW's expansion. I want to see how SEGA and nu-Relic react to this kind of negative publicity. I don't think they have any real reason to do a proper, I'm skeptical that it will make up for lost sales, But do they have any faith in the franchise? Do the devs really care at all or is it just another software project for these people?

DoW2 Elite Mod? I tried as recently as a week before DoW3's launch and waited for hours in the lobby with nobody joining. This was during regular eastern time evening hours on the weekend. I'd only imagine it's even HARDER to find matches any other time. ~1k-2k players max and how many of that are elite mod? DoW2 is and has been dead. I was one of the top 10 SM players in the US for a long time in vanilla dow 2. Good times. That was hella fun compared to DoW3.

Shame Space Hulk is dead for a good reason the devs need to neck themselves, such a piss poor display of AI coding turned me down for good, Armada having no SP kills it for me, Vermintide killing itself with the shitty start loot system and no content maps and now DoW 3.

The only saving grace is TWWH but theres already TWWH 2 on the horizon and Im so fucking mad since it will probably have Lizards and Khemri in it... so I might bite the bullet

To be fair, the workshop only has maps so far because map editor is limited to terrain and static object placement. I don't think there are enough scripting tools yet to develop custom campaigns and the like yet. It will take a while to get balance mods too.

I mean my experience is half a year old, but there were plenty of people back then. I mostly played during primetime hours though.
Most of the cornerstones of the community didn't sound like they were jumping ship for DoW3, so I expect them to keep playing. And like I said, it's stil lgetting videos and commentary on high-level play matches.

The sound director needs a visit from the inquisition, and the writer needs a 5-day phospex bath to put more fire into the lines. VA work is bad enough for anything that isn't orks, and then you have the lack of ambient music and weak-ass weapon noise. The graphics are about the same as previous games but without the sound, the atmosphere that makes it a 40k game is gone.

Its wishful thinking but I would want to see them re-record new unit lines.

Technically it was. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mRn99jpHkbA

There was, for a short time, a DoW moba by another company before SEGA got Relic and the rights. Taking all of this into account, its fairly obvious DoW3 was a hasty mismash of older work sewn together patchwork that didn't really quite work together.
>>
>>376151970
Hiilariously enough, that fits the play for objectives design GW has been going for. They now sell scenery such as turrets, fortifications and even generators. Those even give bonus saves and additional gameplay options.

So in fact, while it may borrow some ideas from MOBAs, that fits the tabletop even more.

That's why the initial release said the Devs were taking primary influence from Mobas and there have been endless articles talking about how it mixes in Moba gameplay and how every single REVIEW mentions it's MOBA mechanics right?

This complaining about it being a Moba didn't come out of no where you know.
>>
Honestly I'm not really bothered by the "MOBA" elements but I'm really disappointed by the sound quality and the fact that each faction is probably going to cost 20-25 bucks, if DLCs can be pirated and played online as easily as TW I would buy the game.

As long as you avoid the latter, it should be a good place to set up.

And if you don't believe me these people are legit, just look up their DoW1/2 sections or C&C/BFME sections.

>Base building in DoW1 is just as bad despise fans claiming it was a masterpiece in 1.
>Just as bad

Every building was focused on its purpose, to an extent that a single building like DoW2's couldnt ever manage without becoming a clusterfuck.

They enabled not only units but upgrades for those units and abilities for the race, while a tech building provided more wide-ranging upgrades that had more depth than a fucking puddle that is increasing health and damage, leaders could be upgraded, powers unlocked, what you picked first mattered.

Squad upgrades that were unlocked by certain buildings completely changed the squad instead of DoW3's "Its shootier now".

Buildings werent there just to build stuff either, IG could garrison infantry inside them and move them around the map or just have them shoot from inside, Eldar could make their buildings fucking invisible or teleport them around, Tau had to choose between two mutually exclusive buildings to get their last tech level which changed pretty much the entire race, every Ork building could shoot, Necron relied heavily on Generators which are now pretty much gone.

And jesus fuck you could build defenses, like, holy fuck, what sort of madman would allow the building mechanic to have an impact on the fighting.

tl;dr You're an idiot who obviously never played DoW1 and should just kill yourself.

You are missing the point.
If theres only only clear path to achieve your goals, is it really strategy or are you just going thru the motions?

In example, whats the strategy of the first 5 mins of the match you are always doing the same efficiency circle jerk that everyone is?

Im not saying starcraft is a bad game.
But dont use it as the poster boy for what RTSes should strive to be. Theres a reason starcraft 2 failed hard even in korea.
Its not a bad game, but the build up is absolutely boring and for the most part.

Noone played Sup Com because it was soulless.

It is a good game don't get me wrong but noone could connect with it, units not having unique responses, every faction having most of the same unit roster and how boring maps were turned off the more "casual" or core RTS players, those that stayed stayed for the mechanics, but an RTS can't endure just by mechanics alone.

Sins of a solar empire has a lot more charm and personality and it's a shame it never got a campaign because that was the only thing missing.

I haven't played through the Earth series.

However:
The standard human faction.
The separatist cyborg faction.
The faction that uses leftover alien tech.
One faction uses an AI.
Said AI orchestrates everything to make sure the aliens can come back.
The original game cuts off with peace caused by the alien invasion and the AI
flipping them the finger.

The only non-used aspect was the sibling relationship between the protagonists and they salvaged even that in SupCom2 (well, classmates over there).

>>
>>376140774

they should have been run out of the business from the dawn of DoW1 really, considering their blatant Eldar dicksucking bias in that game, as well as refusing to patch and properly balance the rest, simply because they were too busy jerking off to their Blum of War 2 development.
>>
So when do we finally realize and accept that Warhammer games have always been at absolute best 8/10, and generally more like 6 or 7?

The best Warhammer games are still just average games as a whole.
>>
>>376163264
You should be perfectly fine on normal. My 7 year old ass back then could handle it back then, surely you can as well.

Also, don't bother patching any of the games aside from Soulstorm and play through each of them without expansions first.

So play through vanilla DoW1, then get through Winter Assault, then relive the bullshit that was Dark Crusade release and if you still like the games, play Soustorm to your heart's content, it's the same, just more of it, better balanced and all that.

Why play the vanilla DoW and such as well and not just skip to Soulstorm?
Well, the game changes rather drastically and vanilla DoW1 is the game that DoW3 (and most likely, its expansions as well) is build upon.
A longer experience and you won't become one of the zombie hordes full of retards who have never played a DoW game before, only got some Humble Bundle key and then puked crap like Ultimate Apocalypse all over it.

There's nothing super difficult. If your ranged units get entangled in melee, run away; don't just sit there. Tie up enemy ranged units with your own melee guys, the AI won't run. Build up an honor guard before doing stronghold missions in DC and SS. If you're going to play SS, keep your expectations low.

COH also has directional cover, and you can do things like use units as mobile bases (tank hull downs), emplacements. DOW3 is missing some if not all of these things.

Not only does this not deny the other guy's point it also tells me you have no concept of what innovation really is.
There was nothing quite like Dawn of War before it launched, the quality of a game is not measured in how much wheels it invented.

Something being done before might as well not have existed if no one heard of it, what truly brings innovation forward is the quality of its application, not the innovation itself, or as history would have it, the winners write the books.

>>376166546
you can use trukks and falcons as mobile reinforcement points and the game clearly has some forms of directional cover in the eldar shield system.

Confirmed baby that never played RTS during the Golden Period of WestWood.

DOW1 felt more barebones standard RTS then those older RTS games, thats not really an insult since i don't consider complexity good in and of itself.

But DoW1 wasn't anything special about from standard RTS+40K license.

To be fair, Terminator armor leggings don't look all that different from regular power armor except maybe some minor detailing like the servos. The arms on Diomedes actually looks like he can fit the armor as opposed to the typical super hunched appearance that would have the Marines dislocating shoulders to accommodate.

Make his leg just bulkier and a slightly larger torso piece and Diomedes would look very much in line with other Terminators sans retarded arms.
>>
>>376167025
not really no. No other game had that kind of cinematic gameplay where you could take the camera and zoom in and change angles. Dawn of war 1 also didn't have resource gathering like other RTS games

Still not a MOBA. Also, you don't refute anything I said. The RTS community, and I use that word loosely, cannot agree on what makes a good RTS, but will shit on any game that comes out. And many have in the past years.

In the end, those games die because the public for it is too divided and incapable of moving on from their chosen game, wether that game is Dune, C&C, Stacraft or whichever.

Give them a remaster and they will shit on it. Give them a new game and they will shit on it.

the models werent true-scale so it did make them look weird sometimes, the hunched appearance is because of the hood and just general massiveness of the armour around the shoulders and head. but TDA doesnt taper in around the chest or abdomen, it just turns the SM into a solid block of armour. you see what i mean if you look at the regular terminator elite squad, it just looks really off. the space marines are all around quite badly done compared to the orkz and eldar in DoW3. and dont even mention angelos and his centurion sized and looking armour thats actually just regular terminator armour but somehow not bullshit, that also made him the size of a primarch.

Stop copying shit and try to make something a bit different.

40k, the wargame, is largely made up of squad combat and unit morale. That is something that should have been kept from DoW 1. That and in depth unit customisation.

But the economy should only exist at macro scale, 4X or Grand Strategy style. Meaning base building and resource gathering needs to die outside of a Risk like map a la DC/SS.
>>

Their Primarch is really tall though.

Yeah, it's annoying how fucking huge all the single elites are except for god damn Macha. I understand it's supposed to make them distinct amidst the chaos of gameplay and what not, but they over-exaggerated the unit sizes.

Ehemm....

Didn't know starcraft had sync kills, morale/supression or cover system :^)

IMO SC failed because it was too fast paced and simple for the hardcore TA players, who wanted giant epic games with thousands and thousands of units in battle, and too complicated and slow paced for the people who wanted smaller scale tactical games.

Also, the pathing sucked.
The AI sucked.
Seemed like modding community didn't get enough support IMO.
Not enough maps, there were no giant 2-4 player maps, all the really big maps were set up for 7+ players. Seemed like all the maps were square shaped, ideal game would be a map with a width to height ratio of like 3 or 4 to 1, to have giant base areas, and a huge battlefield between...

IMO, it failed because Total Annihilation Core Contingency was a better game, and therefore, Supreme Commander was obsolete before it even came out.

I moved no goalpost. I said that copying is retarded and overdone. Instead, they should improve on some good , unique ideas.

I liked DoW2, which is related to the first point, but I'm not advocating they copy it. Changes can be good, they can be bad. I don't really like some of the things they did in DoW3, and I like some other things.

Bottom line: copy pasting other games should not be done, and you should learn to appreciate a game for what it does rather than hating it because its not some other game you like.

>blood ravens primarch is unknown, and if you mean pertuabo was tall, im very much aware of that, read my comment.

>Perty
>the Blood Ravens Primarch
The one I was talking about was Magnus, who is the talles of them all. And has been all but spelled out that he is their Primarch
>>
>Blood Ravens are a Space Marine Chapter that was created for Dawn of War and subsequently included in official Warhammer 40,000 source materials as well.
lol how mad were 40K nerds when they first came out?
why would they not just use an existing chapter?
>>
>>376174349
I think they existed but they were just a color scheme.
>>
>>376173939
how can you be this retarded.
Anyone who has played both games will literally know you are lying
>>
>>376173460
You don't have to release sales figures, rather PLAYER count. This game by all accounts should be extremely popular but they fucked up bad.
>>
>>376174349
>lol how mad were 40K nerds when they first came out?
Since much people liked the first Dow, not much.
>why would they not just use an existing chapter?
It gaves Relic more freedom in the plot.
>>
>>376174376
they perform similar tasks. The difference is that bubble dome makes you completely immune from ranged damage.
>>376174401
>by all accounts
it's an RTS. It is not going to be extremely popular by any account dumbass. The best thing for the game would be to have a relatively stable playerbase.
>>
>>376173913
supcom didn't fail, though gpg did, just like cavedog
>>
>>376174278
even if magnus is their primarch, angelos would not be 15 foot+ tall, and if he took after magnus that much he wouldnt be smashing things with a 15 foot hammer, hed be a psyker. not even calgar in all his overhyped glory is anywhere close to being like gorillaman.

>>376173820
forgot about this, good stuff
>>
>>376174349
The setting inherently allows for the creation of new chapters. There are Chapter creation tables, missing Primarchs, and a million worlds to recruit from.

Very few people, if any, were mad that Relic created a new chapter. Some were most likely glad that they did not use an existing Chapter, for fear of favoritism.
>>
>>376174349
>why would they not just use an existing chapter?

Making up a new one gave the devs way more leeway in terms of story. Also WH40K has a built-in excuse for new chapters since there's supposed to be shitloads of smaller, undocumented chapters all over the space (to account for the personalized color schemes of the players).

>>376174694
The real reason he is so tall is because that makes him easier to see and select among the blobs. Which is silly because it worked just fine in DoW1, but on the other hand micro is very important in DoW3, and he cannot joint any units.

Also, Herohammer is kind of a thing, in that the hero units are important, and the biggest space marine is the hero. Plus he is mostly cybernetic these days.

As for being a psyker, the Blood Ravens have an inordinate amound of psykers in their ranks, and some people may be psykers without knowing or acknoledging it. Sevatar of the Night Lords enhanced himself through his psychic capabilities, but did not accept he was a psyker until late in his life. He may also have become the first Master of the Eigth Brotherhood of the Grey Knights, but that came later.

I mean, none of that is good justification, but there are a few mechanics and lore based reasons.
>>
>>376174349
why would I be mad? The appeal of 40k is both from custom stuff and established stuff, from paint schemes to lore to army composition. It's about creativity as much as it is about the known stuff.
>>
>>376174694
Nigger have you seen fucking Calgar? dudes as big as a primarch.
>>
>>376175308
No he's not. Calgar is big, but nowhere as massive as his Primarch. Which we know because both have miniatures that can be compared.
>>
>>376175242
cybernetics still wouldnt make him that big, and considering that the devs specifically stated theyre 'trying to run parallel with the tabletop' the whole thing is just badly done, because they clearly havent. they couldve just given him a heavy glow from his iron halo or something, wouldve been vaguely lore friendly there (much more than front flipping 15 feet primarch armour), looked cool and been just as noticable.

i know the blood ravens have more psykers than usual, which is one of the reasons a lot of people think magnus is primarch, but nobody has ever taken the physical stature of a primarch, especially for everyone to be so nonchalant about it and never actually mention it. marneus calgar IS all cybernetics, if i remember right its only half his chest and head that arent cybernetic now.

but not to get hung up on specifically angelos, its just the space marines in general in DoW3 that really grate on me, everything about them seems off, from their paper thin armour to half regular power armour to half TA terminators running around with weird goofy animations to portraying space marines as disposable blobs that you can waste hundreds of. and that 'mode' for 'model' theyre barely distinguishable strength wise from their ork and eldar counterparts. its just a mess all round on the SM front
>>
>>376175308
if you read the part where gorillaman comes out of stasis and kicks the absolute shit out of the CSM dropping into his shrine, it specifically states that gorillaman is a giant and dwarfs calgar in stature and sheer presence

As has been pointed out, DoW3 marines are truescale rather than heroic, which changes things somewhat in terms of design
Terminators can theoretically run, as seen here>>376170420

As for the rest, people wanted big armies and while the fluff has it that space marines deal with armies practically on their own (we have Movie Marines rules for a reason) balancing things around that is difficult. Moreover, Boyz very much can take on Marines in CQC, they just generally die in droves before that. And Eldar Guardians are equal to Space Marines because Eldars are, on average, their equals.

So the entire system would have to be overhauled.

Regarding Gabe's size, some Marines are truly huge. Some were almost as tall as some of the smaller Primarchs, and I really believe things may in part hinge upong the connection with Magnus. Reaching very far, he is a mirror of his alleged Primarch: Loyalist, missing his right eye rather than the left, not a psyker.
