Nope, relic keeps sticking their fingers in their ears and keeps talking about how successful the launch was.

This argument isn't baseless you tard, the devs themselves said Dota was a major influence and tons of pre-release articles confirmed MOBA influence. The thing is it isn't a MOBA, but it takes too MUCH from MOBAs when it shouldn't at all

>>377227331

No, DoW2 is the most difficult when it comes to multiplayer. It's unforgiving and it has a billion and one hidden modifiers that are NEVER explained to the players, like the various weapon and armor types. DoW1 and DoW3 are the most accessable of the bunch, and if you're want to get into multiplayer I'd pick one of these instead.

>>377224680

The accusations and shitflinging is grossly excaggerated. The turrets serve as a early rush defense and from a gameplay feel perspective it's about the same as the previous games. You capture points, have some skirmishes, build your base and research stat upgrades.

It's a really solid game, and it doesn't deserve all the hate it's getting. I fucking swear, when DoW4 is released everyone is going to do a 180 degree turn and praise DoW3, just like every nigger on /v/ does with Elder Scrolls.

They simply can't top the ultimate apocalypse mod and that is unironically the standard they needed to beat. It has vast lore friendly unit choices, detailed base building, a shitton of maps, wide range of upgrades and abilities, and scales from killteams to the grimdark grand clash between swarms of troops vehicles and titans. It very much captures 40k

I don't think a game dev could ever pull off a proper successor to ua but that's simply what they need to do

fuuuuuck. that's really rough.

I like DoW 3 enough, but it lacks content and the 1 game mode they made doesn't sit well with the fans (3 is my first one so I don't consider myself part of the fanbase like that).

I honestly would not be surprised at all if they later come out with new modes that overhauls the game into more of a straight RTS game. More basebuilding, more defense, no towers, no core, more open maps.
We'll see when the expansions start rolling out sometime next year when the game has 500 players and not 5000 ;__;

>>377228864
>casual baby garbage
>muh basebuilding
>muh free retreat
Base building is autistic and serves very little in a VP focused game where combat and map control takes precedence.

Retreat has more nuance than just "lol i get out of bad battle npnp."
It takes time to get back on the field with decent unit health. You take bonus damage from melee attacks and full damage from explosives. If you are assmad that someone retreats from battle:
a) You are winning fights. Take more map and bash power when they are gone.
b) Learn to hit grenades on retreat paths or position melee units in retreat path to snipe models or kill squads.

>>377229565

Elite mod is fucking great and honestly the only way to really play. Big 3v3 faction wars actually feel like large battles but still manageable. Simply adding fucking tool tips and accurate stats does wonders. People really liked the coop campaign rpg thing which was fairly useful iwue. Also people fucking love for last stand for some reason.

People aren't keen on DOW 3 dropping the cover system, grinding for doctrines and elite units or the singular game mode. Like holy fuck there is no free for all or annihilation modes, let alone defensive structures. The art style shift is the least of the games problems but does get shit on constantly.

Listen, we all know, that DOW2 was a little different than the original and Relice should called it something else (like Dusk/Sunset of War?), but it was a solid game.

DOW3,,, it's not bad because of cartoony visuals, or WC3/DOTA-style gameplay - all these stuff could worked. They fucked up leveldesign and resource balance pretty badly. And don't mention fucking skulls and doctrines.

DoW 1 is the best if you are looking for an actual RTS with some relic trademark features.

DoW 2 has the best single player experience out of the three.

DoW 3 is a disgrace and should have been a spin-off, so that we can get a proper DoW 3, with MP more akin to 1 and SP building on DoW 2.

Instead, we probably wont get another one. Well played Philippe Boulle, you fucking hack.
>>
>>377235538
I'm a new poster that wants to argue semantics, Dawn of War 2 is not a strategy game, it's a tactics game, there's no resource management, no unit upgrades and no base building, it's all unit placements and rock paper scissors
>>
>>377235381
>if you want a DOW game with strategy and a very high skill ceiling then get DOW1

Fixed that for you
>>
>>377235268
because it was bad.
removal of base building removes harassing, the ability to remove an opponents tech, and turns econ management into a fucking joke. Half of the strategy of an RTS is teching, and DoW simplifies it to the point where it doesn't even make an impact beyond a resource gate. And you get like what, 4 squads at most? A laughable amount of units in a game where you already don't have much to manage. It's a shallow, boring slog that boils down to chasing resource points with your small as army. It's very telling of the games quality when the most played game mode is Last Stand.

Where did you finid DoW3 for 50% off?

DoW3 does have its issues, overall for me its because it feels like some other shiite moba game w/ a Warhammer skin.

Ignore the faggots here, DoW2 was magnificent in its own right, the models, voice acting, replayability(online), customization (importing your own badges) made it ridiculously fun. Sure there were some balancing issues, but many learn to adapt and counter, each hero has a multitude of upgrades to change up playstyles.
DoW3 heros are bland ,you just get what you get, barely any upgrades, and nothing on the caliber of DoW2.

>>377236771

How is it even possible to say that DoW3 feels more MOBA than 2

Thats because DoW3, from what I've seen, doesn't have destructable environment, garrisoning in random buildings (just those retarded bubbles). And the game doesn't feel like Warhammer. In DoW2 you had to capture requisition points, power supplies, and hold Victory points that looked like important tech in the WH40k universe.
In DoW3 you got some weird fucking ball generator thing, then some fucking weird ass giant ball that acts like a tower, and doesn't belong in 40k. Then the center is some retarded powercore, that again doesn't feel like its part of 40k.

Retreating is also a tough call, mass retreat means the other player gets a big foothold and can destroy the shit you built. Ontop of that you can melee or use explosives on retreating units to do great damage to them. Thats why retreating when ork sluggas are on ya is retarded

In all honesty, we all know DoW1 aged badly and the only people who still harp on about it being amazing are just nostalgiafags who were happy to see Warhammer in 3D.

DoW 3 at least pretends to have strategy which is more than you can say about DoW 2.
>>
>>377235648

DoW2 is literally about ressource management since they removed base building taking the ressource point is the only way to harass.
>>
>>377235709
>half the point of an RTS is teching
Its certainly not half. You tech into enough things to call it half the game, you have never actually played competitively.

And yeahDoW2 removes that, but in return you get a far more in depth take on using abilities and unit positioning. DoW2 kills DoW1 on micro management.

Comparatively DoW1 is simple, nowhere near as balanced, has shit pathfinding, relies too much on match-ups instead of skill, and is spectacle over quality.
>>
>>377237926
Ok, now I know you're talking out of your ass. If you ever had a melee unit on you and retreated, the retreating unit takes more damage for melee, thats why people hate banshees and slugga boyz early, if they catch you and you don't kite enough you lose the squad. Every race has some heavy long range explosion damage, Tyranid zoanthropes, SM and CSM plasma cannons + heretic bombs and scout grenades. Ork stikkbombaz, Eldar D-cannons and guardian grenades, IG manticores + catachan demo charges/grenades.

DoW 2 units are no more complex than a DoW 1 unit and you have a lot less of them. Cover is just as important in DoW1. It's hilarious you actually think adding a slight amount of micro makes up for the removal of any strategy.

The banter between commanders in DC alone is enough to rate it at top. DoW 2 tried something different, since they've already done linear campaigns or RISK maps.

>>377238746
DoW2 units are far more complex thanDoW1. Individual abilities are much bigger game changers. Positioning is fucking great because it discouraged DoW1's simplistic Rock Paper Scissors bullshit. Elder actually have a ton more CC options for their hit n run style. Unit positioning goes beyond "stand in this 'cover' zone for a defense boost". Ideas like setting traps to fuck up your enemy went way beyond muh mines. You have no clue what you're talking about.

Yes, we have already been over this. DoW1 is like a shit version of a traditional RTS. DoW2 heavily pushes micromanaging and tactics to the forefront instead.
>>
>>377239169
Exactly, theres baiting and guiding ppl into 'ground fire' ofplasma cannons and such. One example is baiting a whole army in w/ a lone ork unit only to TP in as a mekboy, use the mega-rumbler (earthquake thing that AoE stuns everyone even ini retreat mode) and call in a rokk strike to obliterate their army, a 500 red point move. If pulled successfully it can easily turn the tide in a losing match,

well as somone who actually has the game. it plays like they took dow2's last stand mode heros and threw them into dow1. the result is dps heros instagibbing anyone stupid enough to blob.
anyway here is a list

positives
1
orks for example probably got the most orky feeling, thematically and in gameplay terms.

2.campaigns like winter assaults, aka really good if you were a fan

3.gameplay can sometimes be really damn tight, it's just it loses it in the moment and goes back to being weird.

NEGATIVES:
space marines(aka why the game has 50% negative reviews) tacticals are shit and undertuned.

low cost Nuker/dps heros instagib 3-4 units with slight timing.

defend the turret mode(this is exemplified by poor map design, only 2 dow feeling maps that manage to work and offer variety despite having turrets)

Kill time seems a little low for evrerything.

grind to unlock your factions full elite roster/doctrines(though admittedly you can get 1.5 factions worth of shit just from completing campaign)

Unit balance is wack as fuck with some units being the obvious 'meta'

Elite balance is wack as fuck with some units being the obvious 'meta'

It has the warhammer 40k community, so the most shit eating crybaby autism throwing grognards.

shitty menu UI

One game mode on release

low map pool(though more than dow 2 on release)

unit pathing sometimes seems weird and blobby.

"tactical escalation" is a terrible mechanic, it's basically every 10 minutes your resource nodes give %%% more forever, meaning it's basically impossible to come back from losing.

Once again it's dawn of eldarr.

ANYWAY the saddest part is relics innability to admit they've fucked up. Though they are hyping a big balance patch on the 21st.

I just keep remembering dow2 was a shitshow on release as well and I hated it, though it grew on me like a fungus. Hopefully the game gets patched and it's many many issues get ironed out or rts is dead for good. and the dow series along with it.

They need to go back and build a traditional RTS with 40K license.

They tried hard to do the whole point-capping gameplay, and then dumb it down to the small squad focus for DOW2, and then try a middle-ground for DOW3.

>"tactical escalation" is a terrible mechanic, it's basically every 10 minutes your resource nodes give %%% more forever, meaning it's basically impossible to come back from losing.

I think you don't understand how it works.
In phase 1 you get refund for losing units (you aren't penalized for losing entire squad)
With each phase escalation you get less refund and more resource generation.

In my opinion it isn't bad but pointless since if you lost two squads at the start then you lost the game anyway.

>>377239716
Nope, people wanted a lot of corpses and basebuilding like in DoW1 so they made DoW3.
Those people are also the one crying about rushing (because how are you going to make your bigass army if you get rushed?) so they added turret to protect you from being rushed.
>>
>>377241317
Nope. A game where you are actively interacting more with the game environment is objectively better than one where you aren't doing that. DoW1's benefit over DoW2 in counting that comes from teching and basebuilding, but DoW2's benefit comes from individual unit actions. DoW2's is much longer term interaction than one time additional interactions inDoW1.

Tactical were super meh in DoW2 but it was okay since most people only play the campaign and Tarkus was awesome in it.

I'm not sure I'm following your train of thought, so let's review those post together:

The original post was this one: >>377239791
He made a bunch of statement about both game, okay.
It was followed by this post
>>377242419
>The weakest nuke in DoW2 is stronger than the strongest nuke in DoW1.
>Blobing is a big nono unless you're Ork.
>Also no one play annihilation mode

Those are supposed to be a retort to
>>377239791
>No micro, just blob and attack move the enemy base
Because blobing is a bad idea in any RTS with strong nuke and the most played mode in DoW2 is the "capture the victory points" mode.
All of those are about DoW2 and have yet to be disproven, it only received a post that casually dismissed everything with a "u never played the gaem lol"

Google DoW1 pathfinding to see just how much people complained about it and maybe videos of crumpled together squads that almost can't move.

Not even DoW1 fans believe that it ever had good balance. Cue Necrons bitching in DC, IG lasguns inWA, Eldar in SS, etc.

Also, a game that actively delivers straightforward hard counters like DoW 1 does is by nature a glorified rock paper scissors and not a good strategy game.

There, everything spoonfed to your lazy ass on a platter. Better be grateful I responded to your troll so nicely.

Its widley agreed DoW1:Soulstorm has the best balance out of all the DoW games.

DoW2 balance was so shitty the game is literally unplayed without a mod.

Who the FUCK are you trying to kid?
>>
>>377244448

Dark Eldar are extremely unique and a joy to play.

Sisters are thematically interesting and have a decent gimmick.

By far more balanced than DC.

Soulstorm is the best game in the franchise; flying units were just pointless.
>>
>>377246441
>flying units were just pointless.
They have their uses. Helltalons and Landspeeder tempests in particular are amazing for base harassment since they can just fly in and take out a couple buildings.

>>377246227
Nope, the real issue has always come from decent numbers in multiple squads being together. Nobody used Squiggoth seriously anyway.

>>377246343
And SS still has the damn Eldar that are very clearly better than everyone else. DoW2 faulted in two short periods of time: vanilla launch Marines and Retribution launch IG artillery. Those got fixed real fast unlike DoW1's problems. Not to mention the best of SS is still better than the worst of DOW2 because of goddamn flying units that DoW1 was obviously never balanced around nor really designed around.
>>
>>377246568

On larger naps, flying units were marginally useful for harass.

As a brand new mechanic, the wasted potential was disappointing.

That's literally the only criticism of SS I can think of; I even prefer its single player over DC.

Doesn't change the fact that the previous games were unbalanced as fuck.

And yet they're still less OP than they were in any other expansion or even vanilla - and FAR less OP than vanilla DC Necrons.

They should have just added a cooldown to FoF, or slightly nerfed Dark Reapers.

That's a good description of the DoW1 abilities. You can find a bunch of DoW2 matches where come backs have been made using 500 global resource skills through skillfully bait wing the opponent. You can't do stuff like that in DoW1 because it equivalent stuff like Orbital or Warpstorm don't do that kind of damage. Nor mass teleports, nor slowing down time, nor reverse gravity, etc.

Neuron Lord can only pick 3 artifacts out of 8. The other two abilities are not actual abilities but more of turning into a completely different unit, thus not offering the depth/utility that forms the basis of what's being argued. Not to mention that most of NL's stuff is passive boosts only anyway, even further losing out on the argument of depth. But the largest loss is what's been said the whole time that these abilities have nowhere near the effect on game state that DoW2 ones do.
