Because it was heavily inspired by them, the game doesnt feel like a "Dawn of War" at all, rather a very bad starcraft mod.
>>
>>175181981
heroes (warcraft 3), invisible grass (dota 2 doesn't have this), imaginary lanes (they're retarded), towers that prevent progression (maybe the only point), central hub that needs killing (equivalent to central building needing to be killed before losing in other Relic games)

basically retards

My main gripe from the beta. Was that as the reviews says it takes the best from DoW1 and DoW2 and blends them togheter.

I felt that it didn't put enough emphasis on basebuilding and cover mechanics are non existant. Other than shield domes, which are stupid. Sine rushing one squad out to the shield immediately cuts the map in half.
>>
>>175183760
Better get on that 2 hour steam refund horse then.
Unit control is more similar to Starcraft but you have to avoid deathballs lest you want to lose everything to a single strike.
>>
>>175183530

No, they tried to turn it into warcraft 3 and failed horribly because you don't get the fine unit control of warcraft 3 with the stupid squad system.

Every other RTS plays better than this, and every other moba plays better than this. This game is some horrible middle ground that fails at all things. It's all the bad parts of both genres combined into one disastrous combination that won't even please 40k fans because its so barebones.

I think there's a decent amount of planning required as the structure placements generally enforce the areas you control.

You build like 3 buildings in a game. That's not basebuilding. That's so far off the mark of what people who like basebuilding want its almost deliberately malicious.

It's not for everyone, just like any game. A lot of Dawn of war fans were expecting something and relic game us a pile of shit instead.

>>175184351
Yeah, I guess they should've added unit supply for that supply depot spam for walling.

>>175184351
Aye, also you need to tech up the main building anyway. So when it is done being forced to build a production building doesn't add much.

Also tanks handle like ass. Gets stuck all over the map, and sometimes backs up into combat. Is there rear armor in this game?

Sort of. They made it more like Starcraft but also more like MOBAs, and the elements don't combine well. Warcraft 3 is probably the most similar, but it's almost completely off in execution and play.

Every time I see someone doesn't bash dow 3 it's nothing more than them claiming they just 'like' something about it.

I'm sorry. I wanted to hold out and keep a positive look on it despite the beta. But shit man. This whole thing seems so half assed. The way they tackle the lore, the voices, the dumbed down mechanics of both an moba AND rts.

I honestly seems like they slapped a wh40k skin on some stupid e sports wannabe.

Game become e sports from being varied enough to warrant highly competitive play. You don't design a fucking game around being e sports. What if you come out with less than a game?

FUCK, I've had this on my wishlist for a fucking year. I've stood by it EVEN while people complained about the beta. But 60$?? for this??
>>
>>175192780
read: good voice work.

The direction is more straight and serious. Its like CoD campaign in terms of tone and about as much gravitas. No angry marines with righteous fury and nothing as intentionally funny. The eldar are just as dry and with little mysticism. Orks are somewhat okay but are unintentionally made more hillarious buy their higher-pitch voices - its like an army of Kermit the frog.

>MOBAs spawned out of the RTS genre
>obviously thus have some similar aspects to RTS'
>every other RTS is now a MOBA because it shares some aspects

And the similarities are pretty low, too. You don't have AI controlled spawns, you don't have any hero progression, you control more than a single unit and so on.

But your hero units have skills and there's a power core (apparently because of the name that's different from a game where the victory condition is to destroy the HQ) so clearly it is a MOBA.

Not even saying that there aren't any legit complaints, but if you scroll over the top rated comments it's mostly retarded shit that is simply false.

I feel like the people who like it are playing and the people who hate it are bombing the steam review page and complaining elsewhere.

It never occurred to me until the beta, but there doesn't seem to be a great reason to make a new Dawn of War. The Warhammer universe never really changes, so unlike other RTS sequels they can't include anything really new, they're stuck using the same units and armies as they always have and now the gameplay itself has even regressed to the first entry in the series because there's nowhere to go.

The "MOBA" gameplay additions are minute and don't do enough to disguise the fact that this is a thinly veiled rehash of their past works. Relic needs to get out of this rut and start creating original content again.

I can't say I agree. If you removed the towers/shields you'd be readjusting the movement speed of all armies, or drastically altering the map sizes, or something.
Unless you want the slowest of all gameplay that results from the defensive meta adjusting to a game that supports rushes through unseen corridors.

How is that a miracle? Are you such a brainwashed moron that you will pay $60 for a mediocre game? So many small, simple aspects that should be included at launch are missing.

I always knew TB was shit at RTSs, but watching him play DoW3 was fucking painful.

The guy is absolutely retarded. Just dove in totally blind not knowing what units counter what, not knowing damage types, not even knowing which units can detect. Floating 1000's of resources even in mid game.

And to think he used to run an esports team.

Forgot to mention, I was watching him on twitch. But still he was fucking terrible. Also basically didn't micro anything then complained when his army got wiped, then he complained about "terrible pathfinding" because a stunned unit wasn't moving.

Striking Scoprions make sense as elites because they are considered elites in the tabletop. Where it breaks down is that Howling Banshees are also elites but not in the game.

Yeah, that was my issue, it just seems like some units were put into different categories arbitrarily. I've the impression that the people who made this game didn't actually are about the material, and just made a unit fit whatever dumb role they thought was necessary.

Prime example being lascannons not working like they fucking should.

>>175225107
It's kind of sad that I think they would seriously consider this. I mean Harelequins are cool, but even in TT they are just an "allied" army. They really don't have much to justify a full force unless they blatantly make shit up or half ass it. Which is highly likely.

This game feels really really rushed, I wouldn't be surprised if GW wanted the release to coincide with all the Newhammer40k shit coming out. If it had a little more time to bake in the oven, could have been really good. I think the core gameplay is fun, with some patches the game could be pretty good, they really fucked up on the first impressions though.

Also there is just other nu-Relic shit that no amount of time could have fixed and just comes down to lack of talent. Boring campaign and mission design, complete lack of quality voice directing and some other stuff. Also there are some pretty suspect design/balance issues but those will get ironed out sooner or later unless they give up on it like I heard they did with CoH2

The voice acting is fine, pretty sure the sound engineers really fucked up their filtering and effects though, super apparent after beating the first mission, Angelos sounds like he's talking in his bathroom. They played it too straight, likewise with the visuals. Everythings a bit too clean for 40k.

Did you play DoW1? Compare that voice acting to DoW3. Yeah, DoW3 is "fine", it's competent and serviceable, but it lacks all of the character and personality that makes 40k great. Like you said they played it too straight. It just sounds like some generic scifi forgetttable shit, doesn't have any flavour or soul whatsoever, like nobody reading the lines got the memo that it's 40k and not space troopers.

Also the art is weird, like the proportions on the space marines don't look right at all, they just look like normal dudes in suits, they're all skinny and weird looking. After DoW1/2 got them right i don't know why they changed them.

What I find odd is that they literally replaced every single actor despite all of them still being active. As far as I know only Paul Dobson is a returning actor and he is just doing generic marines and Orks again.

What makes it even more bizarre is that they even included a fucking excuse to justify the voice change, at least for Gab. Apparently the Blood Ravens have a gene seed mutation that makes their vocal chords change every few years.

Which is retarded.

Why the fuck does relic think we want to control like 5 units?

There's a reason games like starcraft and command and conquer let you build more units than that. It's not fun to play with such small scale battles and just watch the units auto attack.

Being able to use throw a grenade doesn't suddenly make it engaging either. Hell the elite units have similar numbers of abilities or fewer than things like the science vessel in starcraft, something you could build multiple of.

Unless every unit is going to be like a moba hero, there just isn't enough to the combat. That means every unit should have 3-4 abilities, not just 1. That, or give us actual armies to control, not this small scale buillshit.
>>

>>
>>175234427
Every unit has at least one active, some have 2. Some of them have interactions with ally or enemy units. Between poking, using actives, allocating targets and re positioning there's quite a bit of unit management required.

Dont know where you're getting this 5 unit limit from. Playing orcs I'm regularly having 8-10 units active. Far more than DoW2

You must be posting about DoW2 where there's a pop cap of 6 units (7 if you include the hero).

You can't be posting about DoW3 since DoW3 lets you control like 30 squads at once. And it's units have more abilities and micro tweaks than ever.

So? Space Marines in DoW3 are already plenty mobile because they can deploy units with drop pods. Orks and Eldar have transports instead.

Name five aspects.

But, it feels like this is a base game. It FEELS like they're going to add more factions and units.They might even add in some more campaign elements. But, to be fair, most people who play RTS games play mainly for the multiplayer anyways. If they focused on singleplayer instead of multiplayer, a lot of people would get angry as well. Same goes for multiplayer, as we're seeing here.

I'm more interested in how long Taldeer has to live after entering a wraithknight.

How to make a good dawn of war game.

For the campaign, take dark crusade, revamp it a bit, add in more of a storyline. Then enjoy taking over a planet in true 40k style.

For mutiplayer, take CoH cover system, make decent maps with lots of varied cover (all destructable) blend it with DoW.

Instead you have boring single player content and multiplayer content that gets stale fast.

I mean fuck look at CoHs cover, now cover is a circle you capture. How the fuck are games getting progressively worse.

The first 3 missions of the campaign are a real slog, boring tutorial shit with 3 units to build. The 3v3 mode is basically unplayable due to a lack of anti deathball mechanics like increased veterancy for fighting larger forces or more elite point gain but other than that 2v2 and 1v1 is ok and the rest of the campaign is not half bad. Honestly the game might be a sleeper hit but I wont hold my breath

Dont really get why people say its a moba since the only mobaish element is unit abilities and the turrets honestly I would like some sort of moba mode with ai guardsmen pushing lanes or something, not saying it would be great but it would be a neat inclusion

It's compared to MOBAs because the heroes (elites) are so strong that they make regular units almost irrelevant. So when the heroes are out, the heroes and their abilities are all that matters.

The balance of power between elites and armies is pretty much the same as MOBA heroes and creeps.

They could have taken this glorious game, balanced it a bit, added some modern improvements to unit AI and pathing, improved the graphics, and it would have been wonderful.

Instead we get something without soul and extremely barebones.

No shit. FPS games have infinitely more mass appeal than a dead genre. That said, Battleborn has an all time peak of 12k players, while DoW 3 is currently sitting at 25k.
>>
>>175280740

Dawn of war 1 multiplayer was still better though.
Also, since when are the casual aspects of a game not the money makers? It's the hardcore shit that doesn't sell. The mass market is all casual players.

Kinda disappointed in what I got. the army painter is shitty, like wtf guys give me OPTIONS. Let me actually PAINT individual units
No chaos faction so you can bet it'll be paid DLC..?
No imperial guard, limited unit roster, all the upgrades have been dumbed down to the point of useless.
And I can still use 2 predator lascannons and a blob of tac marines with plasma guns and never worry about a thing
Imp Knoghtis strangely overpowered for something you can get 10 minutes in
It's like a halfway complete game. We don't even get wargear or a last stand mode

Speaking of which, why the fuck do Devastators look like they are having a seizure while shooting? No other media shows heavy bolters to have that much recoil... At least ordinary bolters look and sound nice.

They're kinda useful as a melee tarpit against ranged or low-tier melee infantry. Their damage is naff, but they last forever against anything that doesn't have armor-piercing or universal damage melee. They will actually win out against ranged units eventually. Well, most ranged units. Don't try to melee Terminators or Meganobz with them, that ends in the poor Kan getting crumped in short order.

Has this ever been the case for any game ever? Not more aggressive AI, but smarter AI with difficulty. It seems like if developers made a smarter AI, they would want to show that off to everyone, not just the 5% who play on the hardest difficulty.

As the other anon said, Steamspy isn't accurate for new games, it takes at least 3 days after release to get accurate numbers.

It's also not accurate at all for small games which sell under 30k copies.

DoW3 is currently sitting on 100k though. So by your logic it's had a 50% increase in sales in 1 day.

What is this weird comparison to Starcraft I keep seeing thrown around?

Have you guys even played starcraft? Have you ever seen starcraft?

You're saying that an almost exclusively micro focused, squad based RTS is similar to a largely macro focused traditional RTS.

You make units using resources in both games, that's about as far as the similarities go.
>>
>>175361354
The only other similarity to SC2 I can think of is that units die fairly quickly. But still, units in DoW3 don't die as quickly as they do in SC2. I'd say it's comparable to CnC in terms of lethality.

I think people need to accept that DoW3 is just it's own beast. It's not DoW1, or DoW2, or SC2, or a moba.

Anon, I've played close and open betas. Yet in both of them I'm having a weird bug. Which dramatically decreased my performance.

The game wasn't running fullscreen, but borderless window. My f.lux was affecting the game, meaning colors were becoming warmer when day was going to evening to release my eyes from extra brightness of the screen.

This shouldn't happen with fullscreen games, f.lux doesn't affect any games that I have.

The question is anyone having same problem? I didn't bought the game because of that. My specs: 4770k, 780ti, win7, ssd

They only let you run it in borderless window.

This is actually one of my big criticisms of the game - the crappy graphics options. Also the UI needs work and the replay list don't work for me.

I don't want to compare DoW3 to the previous entries because I think it should be judged on it's own, but I'm stuck trying to figure out what they were going for with this game.

At every stage it's incredibly basic and dull. Is Relic simply not Relic anymore? I find it hard to believe this is coming from that same studio that brought us Homeworld, DoW and CoH.

Multiplayer seems overly simplified, the campaign is bizarre in how mindnumbingly lazy, slow and tiring it is and everything ranging from the presentation, voice acting and unit design lacks any of that amazing talent Relic has shown off in the past.

Does anyone seriously get a sense for what they wanted to create?

DOW 3 deserves every bad review, every piece of thoughtful criticism because it's a disgrace that unpaid modders for DC and SS can make a better experience than Relic with boatloads of $$$ and time.

Any news on a traditional "kill their base" mode?
I'm thinking about picking this up later today since despite the poopy art style (I think I saw a predator tank squash and stretch when it got dropped from the Valkyrie) the game looks fairly fun.

I just personally don't like the Dota style objective mode they have right now and would prefer to have a traditional RTS mode.

Regardless of all the hate it's pretty fun all around so far. I'm realizing that hard campaign might get too difficult for me since it took hours to complete the first 4/5 missions.

I wouldn't say they squash and stretch, they just bounce a bit after hitting the ground.

I can get behind this. They really should have had more traditional gamemodes but I don't think this objective mode is too bad either. I just hate how it forces such linear map designs and starting locations.

Dawn of War 1 was a great game, but I don't know if just remaking it with better AI would make a good game. At that point you have to ask yourself, why? Why would they just remake an old RTS game.

Dawn of War 2 was worthwhile because, love it or hate it, it did something different. Dawn of War 3 attempts to do the absolute bare minimum for a new entry in the series by removing all the finesse that made the previous two entries worthwhile gaming experiences.

This game brings nothing interesting to the series, let alone the genre. It's completely forgettable. If their hope was for it to become an E-sport they don't stand a chance, it's one of the most unexciting RTS games I have ever played in over 20 years, completely bland and lacking any style which is honestly disgusting when you look at it's forebears and the franchise it's based upon.

How something so lacklustre and sleep inducing could have been created by one of the all time great developers is beyond me.

The lore is that they were a sickly, short-lived race obsessed with death. But they had ultra-advanced tech. They awakened evil star gods, and took a bad deal where they gave away their bodies and souls for immortal metal robotic bodies.

They picked a fight with the Old Ones (another advanced race). The OO created the Orks to fight them (literally a race genetically engineered to fight and be impossible to eradicate). But this happened so long ago that for the Orks and Eldar its just myths and legends.

After reaping the galaxy of nearly all life, they went into stasis on various tomb worlds and are just now waking up.

They are kinda evil and forboding and have that undead vibe. But they are also a bit ridiculous and have that saturday-morning-cartoon villain vibe. But for real they are a major threat and many Necron sub-factions wish to eradicate all life once again, and they are very much capable of doing it.

Gameplay-wise they are slow moving and tanky like SM. But they also have a lot of teleporting shenanigans like the Eldar. Also their guns hurt everything by stripping its atoms - so that would translate to them doing true damage in DoW3. In DoW1 they were unique because they only used Power as a resource. Requisition points were only captured to deny the enemy.

So after playing DOW3 for a while now, I actually sort of hope that they just make a moba mode, last stand mode, have the campaign, then trash the rest. The rts multiplayer here is just middle ground and kind of lame. There isn't enough here for a good rts match with complexity and counterplay.

Aside from what I've seen mentioned about the god awful voice acting I also think the animations really shit the bed. They're too, cartoony and too loose, like how the ork buildings have all the moving parts on them. It doesn't look like its cobbled together scrap, it looks like a bunch of inflatable structures. And the vehicle sound effects are all uninspired, so instead of an ork trukk turning it's engine over being a deafening rumble it sounds like a toy car being turned on. And the models especially look less detailed and again, more cartoony than in previous games. Plus the stupid hero units being huge for no reason and ignoring established lore and fluff.

And the combat doesn't feel or look like the meatgrinder that its supposed to be. They've made a game nobody wants or asked for while attempting to draw crowds in from too many genres. Plus, 3 factions is too little, the upgrade system while it could be a good idea, just feels tacked on to try and draw people in who like gear treadmills and for an excuse to have microtransactions out the ass.

Then there's the lame musical score, like instead of the boring ass generic rock for the waaagh towers why not have a cool ass drum beat. And the waagh itself is lame as fuck, its not an ear shattering roar that shakes the fucking ground its so loud and so deep, it sounds like a handful of adults are in a room full of helium and are trying to yell but pass out in the process.

Older titles just had this great balance of serious and wackiness that fit the setting perfectly and instead we get this heartless cash grab.

Is it really too much to ask for a wargame 40k or supreme commander 40k or at least a good sequel to dawn of war?

Is it just me or is hard mode in this game, like really fucking hard. To the point where I spend like 15-20 minutes just rebuilding my army after it gets destroyed in under 30 seconds starcraft 2 style. The resource generation is so fucking slow compared to how much everything costs and how weak they are. I feel like units should be costing 1/2 or 1/3 of the price they list.

Is hard mode just a waste of fucking time?
>>
>>175404978
Your units arent any weaker, just the resources come in slow. Time to kill is pretty fast in this game in general
>>
>>175405352
well then resource generation should be doubled or tripled at least for the campaign. Hard mode isn't hard in a skill sense, it's hard in a "wow my army got wiped, let me wait 20 minutes to rebuilt it sense."
>>
>>175403516
cause there are a lot of cool races in 40k and all the nerds are thirsty for their favorite race and nobody cares to be pragmatic and consider the realities of game development these days

also the fact that dow1 had 4 races on launch even though it's a 13 year old game and it was much easier and faster to create the assets back then

I hope they add some sort of risk style campaign in the future.

I loved that about the DOW 1 expansions and the DOW2 random missions were also pretty cool but this linear campaign is just really bland.

I want some contextualization, not just ebin units shooting other ebin units.
>>
>>175417169
I hated that shit. Campaigns were cool when each level was unique with cool objectives and layouts. Dark crusade and DoW2 shit was so lazy, it's just playing a bunch of skirmish matches over and over and calling it a campaign. If I wanted to play skirmish I would go play skirmish. When I play a campaign I want some hand-crafted levels with some interesting stuff going on that you can't get in a skirmish match.

>I want some contextualization, not just ebin units shooting other ebin units.
That's exactly what those campaigns are tho? Skirmish mode matches with very little contextualization and just units shooting other units.
>>
>>175417369
The heavily scripted campaigns have little to no replay value for me. I want something closer to an Xcom geoscape rather than just a list of missions where you tell your guys to kill stuff then get some exposition.
>>
Why couldn't they just do DoW 1 HD with new maps and Tyranids? Would cost a fraction of developing a new game and be GOTY.

Look at all the people in this thread who are playing the game and don't see any of those things as a problem. The only thing that will stop it is if their sales are adversely affected when they do this to a game. If not, they have no incentive to make it accurate and beautiful to fans of Warhammer if they weren't already fans. The people who made this game don't care about Warhammer and clearly know very little about it. All the ignorant kiddies in this thread praising the game and shutting down dissent are largely the reason why a glob of diarrhea like DOW3 comes about - the informed consumer is in the vast minority.

So ive played both casual and hard. Casual has less units around in general, for example on the Gitfinda missions, theres very few patrols around. But on hard theyre on every corner. Also timers are different, like the Beauty mission your timer can be either 15 or 25 minutes. I dont think theres any difference in resource generation

This is my gripe about the campaign, and the multiplayer as well. Everything is way more squishier than before, but they're just as expensive as they were in DoW2 and there's no Retreat button, meaning that it's easy as fuck to lose half your army in the blink of an eye. Resource gain needs to be doubled or some shit, right now it's just ridicolous how quickly everything dies. It's not as easy to read the battle either like in DoW2 which great readability.

It's a fun game and all but goddamn, this shit is getting ridicolous.

You get way more income in MP is my experience, especially when you get 2 mid points upgraded and get phase 2. Phase 1 can be pretty brutal though if you get your shit pushed in
>>
>>175451171

I haven't played much multiplayer, but my impression was that the resource income was not balanced compared to how quickly things die. In singleplayer it drives me up the fucking wall, especially the Eldar missions. Holy fuck, you NEVER have enough resources on their missions, and they always feature you being constantly attacked so there's no chance for you to turtle up. I'm at mission 15 and I have never, ever built a Prism because I could never afford it.

Also, is it normal that Falcons kill Avengers in like 4-5 hits, because that shit doesn't feel like normal to me.

This game would be a hell of alot better with the General system from CoH 2

Different commanders giving you different tactics and units I always thought of an IG concept where all the commanders were from different regiments like Elysians are fast attack paratroopers, Catachans are infantry based and heavy explosive use, and Cadians are all rounders.\

Elite points are so bullshit and dumb

Scout spam in DoW2 was hilarious and about the most fun I've had as Sphess Mahrines in it. Grab shotguns and you can micromanage a bunch of Orks Boyz with ease, or spam snipers if you're against another SM and watch how they panic when they lose several expensive models at once.
>>

or Catachan spam with IG while you bait them with your hero units and booby trap everything


I swear I love DoW 2 more than 3 in alot of regards I just want a good 40k game again dammit

>>
>>175473707

DoW2 is better in many regards, but that's because sequel tries to emulate the same high risk gameplay that it had. In DoW1 it wasn't the entire world if you lost a squad or two. In DoW2 it was a huge blow. DoW3 goes for a semi-middleground with units being expensive but everything dies immediately, without any way to combat it.

Reinforcing is expensive as fuck too. Apparently the total cost is only 25% less than the total.

>>175473816

I have the best memories from the intro in the first game, but I guess that's because I was only 14 at the time.

Memes will develop themselves as time goes on. DoW2 didn't have any and was universally despised among the DoW community. It wasn't until Retribution that things had started to cool down and people could actually talk about it without being invaded by some autist.

I swear, when the expansion to the game hits everyone will change opinion.

Dont BLAM me for this but

this game should have actually been a legit MOBA the elite units are mostly just one person or a squad. but look more at it this game could have been a solid MOBA way better than failed 40k one. I used to play the DoW 2 MOBA mod and it was kinda fun

Nothing except for timed missions.

the real big problem is space twink elves and space lesbians rely TOO HEAVY on warpways, without speed they basically become a wet tissue
this usually forces alot of slower pushes and relies too heavily on guarding your gates

orks on the other hand with cheaper mechs through scrap, and scrap upgrades make them alot more enjoyable due to the fact that they have a 1 step upgrade for each character, and 3+ for zapnoggin

just some thoughts

>>175482119

Yeah, Eldar missions are pure trash. Units die like flies, rarely any income, AI always sends massive forces against you, never any power income so good luck ever seeing a Prism in the campaign.

Then boom, Sphess Mahrines and Orks have great missions where you get time to build and explore different scenario mechanics.

So what's a good way to start a match with the Space Marines?
I usually build an arsenal and 2 tac marine squads and upgrade to plasma as soon as I can, but last night I got stomped by a guy that started with assault marines. So that got me wondering iif it's better to start slow and go with assault marines too or go for more scouts in the early game
>>
umm
>>
>>175487194
Yes tacs suck and plasma guns is dumb that early when they will get tied up in melee. Only early tac upgrade you should get is flamer and only really vs orks. 90% of games just skip tacs, go for asm and scouts for the flash grenade. You can also go for a slow start and macro up and get a fast tier 2 and go landspeeders and rape anything from tier1 with no counter. Go watch some top SM players on twitch and copy them if u need to.
>>
>>175487194
ain't plasma mostly anti-armor?
>>
>>175487194
>So what's a good way to start a match with the Space Marines?
Best way is build barrack right from the start and put asm in your first droppod. After that you just spam asm with few scout to vision and get plasma swords upgrade. Asm can destroy turrents without any problem.

SP Generates gives you like 100 skulls per mission, and levels up your elites, giving you another 30-100 skulls.

This game needs way more army customization, current is even worse than DoW1 which came out 13 years ago. We should be able to set armor patterns like halves and quarters, have custom emblems and emblem maker like every modern multiplayer game does now, even let us change out armor pieces like in WH40k: Space Marine.

Having different shoulder pads and trims and decorations would give a lot more stuff to unlock and make the leveling actually interesting, and give veteran players a way to look badass and stand out from the noobs. If they bothered to put a ladder and good ranking system in they could have some of the rarer pieces or colors or patterns or emblem maker things unlocked only based on your rank so high rank players can show off with their cool armies and low rank or casual players have some motivation to keep playing and get better instead of quitting the game. moto mata

healing scrap actually got me thinking...
is it worth to not upgrade orc units for free reinforcements?
or is it only viable to have sustain for potentially unkillable deff dreadz?
>>
I think the biggest problem in the game is the economy.

All your units die super quick, and you don't have the "Fall Back" button anymore to preserve them. At the same time, they all cost more than the Emperors golden crapper each.

They either need to make shit cheaper to turn the game into more of a spammy macro game, like (babby mode) sup com, or make units more tanky again so you don't lose your entire army if you misclick once or get caught by 1 elite ability.

The cover system is also garbage.
>>
>>175496110

Pathfinding is atrocious, even at the time it was a pain
>>
Does view profile actually work or is it bugged for everyone?
>>
>>175496543
about 90% of <4 point elite abilities are easy to navigate around
control groups are king for preservation
>>
>>175496543
>All your units die super quick
if you have bad engagements and bad positioning and bad micro then sure

> you don't have the "Fall Back" button anymore to preserve them
you have a right click on your mouse button, do it yourself, get out of jail free card was retarded anyways. manually retreating and managing your units raises the skill bar too.

economy is fine, armies get big and there are plenty of units to manage, u don't need to flood the entire screen with units to have a good game. maybe u should try upgrading your infantry health and actually trying to micro and actively dodge enemy elite abilities and grenades and shit? hmmm......

also the cover system is a replacement for garrison, not cover, and who gives a shit anyways because you don't need to have a cover system to have a good rts

Is it me or do eldar really, really suck?

They have no reliable melee before wraithblades because banshees are made of papier mache, so they just get ran over by melee spam

>>175500228
I can't watch streams right now on this internet, could you tell me theoretically how to do it? I just get rolled by orks without being able to put up any resistance because regular slugga hordes just delete me with higher movement speed.

SM are much more manageable because assaults are so expensive
>>
>>175500361
It sounds like you aren't building webway portals, you need to do that and abuse FoF. No unit can catch up to FoF eldar, kite and play a hit and run playstyle, let your battle focus (shield) take the damage for you without causing you to drop models. Also remember to use DA plasma grenades to peel for you units if you need to, they don't do friendly fire damage or knockback. But webway gate management is really important as eldar for the buffs it gives you. Also keep in mind that DA will beat a tac marine squad 1 for 1, and banshees beat asm though it's quite close. Abuse FoF and grenades on top of that and you shouldn't have a problem. Striking Scorpions are also the best 2 point elite in the game and that will help you a lot in the early game.
>>
>>175500920
I tend to not be able to afford webway gates, maybe I'm underestimating how good they are. Probably need to take more power nodes early.

I'll try scorps too, I haven't even tried them because in the beta elite squads were absolutely horrifyingly bad compared to hero models.

Thanks anon

You only need 1 and you can warp it around. It also covers a huge area. On Charon's Rest you can put one in the smoke on top of the bridge on your side of the map and you basically have the entire map under your control with insane speed and higher energy regen. Eldar are the kings of earlygame if you play them right. Also like the other guy said, banshees are pretty good, just keep in mind that eldar is a little micro-heavy compared to the other armies.

the game has balance issues out the ass:

>space marines are just flat out broken, they are far too squishy for how much they cost, so even a minor engagement can cost you hundreds of req in replacements, which you simply cannot afford

>orks are are blatantly overpowered and simply crush everything they come into contact with

>eldar are also OP and allow ample time to retreat using their battle focus, meanwhile you breathe on space marines and it costs you 200 req right off the bat

Playing space marines in this game is like driving an audi in a destruction derby and trying to win but without wrecking your car.

throw in the lack of maps and only 1 game mode which snowballs excessively, on top of the multitude of UI errors and bugs and you got yourself a pretty rocky launch.

There's definitely huge potential for this game, when the game isn't being a broken piece of shit it has some genuinely good mechanics and gameplay. the sound effects are superb and the unit variety and effects are great. but the multitude of existing problems far outweigh the good it seems.

I can only hope it will get better with time, but only time will tell.

>>175558574

grot
boyzx2
make tower near contested with starting grot
use second grot to cap natural then build boyz hut near contested a bit further back
get shoot from hut


Depending on the map use second grot to go straight for hut, then use tower grot to cap natural

Can I get away with not using Beauty/Solaria/Taldeer size elites? Or are they too strong to not auto include?

Sure. Most of games doesn't even goes for so long. 10-30 minutes.
>>
>>175559515

in 1v1 using big elites puts you at a big disadvantage, to last until then you have to be dominating already

in team games you can survive without, but it's good to bring at least one

even holding the contested elite point all game and using 2 low points elites would take considerable time for you to pull off the big one, time you don't have in 1v1 generally speaking, your opponent will be dropping 2-3-4 pointers and use that early advantage to push your shield generators

They kill structures and vehicles quick with the power sword upgrade. You also take the assault jump doctrine which is borderline OP. Giives them a second, short range jump that deals damage. Then they have the proper jump for mobility and CC.

>Not him but what's wrong with Johan?

Nope, normal Gorkanaut, Kommando, and Meganobz are never featured for the player. Same thing goes with the Wraithlord and a few other Elites.

also remember you don't have to drop the instant you get elite, i have won games sometimes by getting jonah out and just skipping gabe and going to right to terms at 6/7. just depends on how the game is going and what you plan to do. just because you have an elite available doesn't mean you need to use it.

And

>IT'S NOTHING LIKE DAWN OF WAR 2, REEEE, WHERE'S MY COVER.
It's better this way, cover in dow2 was fucking redudant as people just destroyed it with tanks anyway.

It's faster paced than 2, and it's not as base-grindy as 1.

It hass taken the best of both games.

Singleplayer is a bit meh, but most Dawn of War first games are meh. It's the expansions and follow-ups that get better.

I'd give it an 7/10, but I'd give it 8 if it had some more online maps. I'm happy with what I've got though.

do you only have 1 unit? or just can't micro? when you kite you have one unit running and other units shooting, this isn't moba where you stutterstep and stop and shoot and move. once he change target to shooting unit u move it and have running unit begin shooting. avengers are almost same cost as boyz, so i don't understand how he can "immediately build 5 units", you should have same parity of army strength unless you are eco booming.

People who spam orks sacrifice their endgame.

They fail to realise that they have a good start, but later on they'll pay the price of upkeep to keep those squads on the field, and they'll just lose them and any points to a superior force mid or lategame.

I don't think players are aware that the more units you have, the less requisition and power you make.
>>
>>175590818

The only broken faction right now is space marines
then orks and eldar

Space marines have the completely ridiculous ASM with power swords giving them true damage, attack jump ability and double jump making them impossible to counter in a early shield gen/resource farm push

Orks right now have the very strong trukk kamikaze ability with the stormboyz and killa kan jump+rocket ability
>>
>>175590818
>way cheaper
they are only 30 req cheaper than dire avengers. you have free plasma grenades to peel with too and battlefocus to eat some damage with and not drop models. it's just a get good situation, it seems like you don't know how to control your units or you don't have your build order refined if he has that much more units then you without you understanding why. eldar has the strongest t1 and can trade with any other race's units and come out on top, it is laughable that you are losing to boyz spam and calling them broken.
>>
>>175591051
You clearly don't play SM's.

Wanna know how much Assault marines cost?

500req, and around 12 power each. (or 15)

And to get power swords, you need to build an armory to research a 75req 75power research upgrade.

If you allow space marines to gather that much power resource, then you deserve to be assraped by power-sword assaults.

Is this game worth buying? It seems interesting but i heard that it is utter shit.
>>
>>175590251

Yeah, I think people are overreacting. The Towers act like a rush defense and the core is a simplified way of ending the map instead of destroying every building on the map. It also creates those tense moments where both teams are at eachothers Cores and it's a race to the finish line.

And it's the same thing with every DoW game. It gets released, people get all pissy, then after a expansion or two it's GOTY all of a sudden. What the fuck is wrong with the community.

>>175590848

My first game was a 3vs3 as Orks, and I employed the same tactics I used in DoW3. Two or three sluggas and two shootas. Get a Trukk as soon as possible etc. Built a forward base because why the fuck not. I did remarkably well considering it was my first multiplayer game and we were gimped by a rookie Eldar.

It is deffo worth buying. I already have 41 hours since release, and that's not including the fact I have to come off to do wow dailies as well.

Every Dawn of War title is worth playing. Yes, including Soulstorm.
>>
>>175591212

Lol is this supposed to be a joke? and how much does a banshee cost? 100 req less? Except they don't have fucking jumps they can't harass the natural on Charon's rest (that by the way can only be harassed by SM in t1) and they can't take down the shield gen in seconds

Not to mention they can't fight vehicles

Oh I forgot, they have to pay for their assault ability, something the ASM start with the bulletin and which is MUCH better
>>
>>175591084
They're cheap enough that you can have more out in the earlygame, and micro in this game is so fucking clunky with the ~1 sec reaction time all units have it's really awkward to not fuck up, plus they get into cc once and you're dead because of the crazy melee slow, off that the ork can just take map control and get ahead enough to basically have won the game by the time you get your scorps out and can actually contest his army

It's just a chore to play against, EvE is alright, EvS is just a shitstomp with the space marine player not really standing a chance, EvO is a fucking chore no matter what happens, even if you win

Another funny thing, towers don't shoot behind them, you can end the game in phase one with ASM since they don't have the health buff of phase two simply by jumping behind them and getting a shitload of resources for killing it (it goes down extremely fast with power swords), you can even jump out.

It's divisive and there are an extreme amount of whiners about every little thing including unfounded claims from people who have clearly not played the game to any degree of competency.

Ya must be joking. Eldar can kite them for all eternity.

All this talk about them having true damage is a shit if you try to recall that Eldars Heavy Bolter have 62 true damage. Have fucking wraithguards that considered a vehicle and have a fucking scorpion elite that just decimite assaults in 2x1 ratio. Don't forget about free grenades on Avengers and the fact that you can outmass SM with them on start to make his life unbearable.
>>
>>175591609
>They're cheap enough that you can have more out in the earlygame
no man, just no, at 30 req difference that means you would have to build 10 units each before he has enough req to get a whopping 1 more unit over you.

>plus they get into cc once and you're dead because of the crazy melee slow
plasma grenades my dude i am telling you, use your plasma grenades and kite properly

if he has map control off of 10 units of boyz it doesn't matter because he won't have enough resources to develop any of it for a very long time

you can't blame "clunky micro" for your own inability to control your units and have good engagements. and the ork player cannot churn out 10 squads of boyz and simultaneously eco boom and develop the entire map. either he is hacking and you should quit or, more realistically, you don't really understand what he is doing, how to play against it, or how some parts of the game work in general.

you should watch some streams of good eldar players and see what they do against ork, watch your own replays and look at what he is doing instead of just complaining that it is op because you don't know how to beat it.

you are like the guy who plays street fighter and says shoryuken is an op cheap move because you can't be bothered to learn to play the game and counter it.

You clearly a fucking moron that doesn't even understand how eldars are played. Don't even talk about balance there. All the eldar army about kite and hit and run tactics. If you can't do this bare minimum better switch to orkz.

ASM have 2 jumps. They can't do a shit after that and the only units that can't run away from them are fucking deployed teams. Eldars can wipe the fucking army with Machas Blast and Banshee Leader Chakram and you are a moron who cry over assaults. Fucking kek.
>>
>>175592000
Lack of maps, no last stand or other casual modes, poor army painter and customization, no control settings or rebindable keys and really really awful pre-alpha placeholder tier menus that look like shit and function like shit. That's the main stuff I feel is missing and a lot of it will be fixed/added in patches but not all of it.
>>
>>175592195
It just feels insanely lopsided my man, even if I nade, it's no guarantee that that squad actually gets out of melee, one ork can bounce the wrong way and keep you in, meaning you either throw a 2nd grenade or that squad is dead. The micro is clunky, you can't deny that, there is a serious delay between right clicking and the unit reacting. Of course it affects both players, but it makes it way the fuck more frustrating for the player who has to run away.

Maybe it's more the frustration of the matchup than the actual balance I have a problem with, I've never had fun fighting orks. Never fun against SM either because they're so weak. The only matchup I like in this game so far is EvE.
>>
>>175592670

Just shut the fuck up you're embarassing yourself, the fact you're still talking about kiting when I'm talking about fucking godlike unit that can end your gen farm/shield gen in a few seconds tells me you have no fucking clue what you're talking about.

>that by the way can only be harassed by SM in t1
eldar can too, try to learn the game before you start complaining about balance

banshees also beat asm in a 1 on 1 fight due to battle focus and are cheaper in req


asm is strong but they are also the only usable unit SM have in t1, i agree power swords should be locked behind t2 but if you are losing to a guy dumping his entire investment into two asm squads with an armory and power swords and rushing you then i don't know what to say
