Let's get those Hamster wheels turning in excitement.
The internal battery has run dry, the game can now be played. However, clock based events will no longer occur.

Re: It's happening.
Cool news.
As long as it is mod friendly and not with built in nickle-and-diming like coh2, it would be nice to see an updated engine (destructible cover, truesight, front/side/rear armour etc)
Come on, the community does the balancing in the long run (as long as it allows modding) - I would prefer the devs get the engine and core mechanics (pathing, AI etc) running right before focusing on balance.
Although watching Dow2 casts has been more fun and action packed than any DoW1 match that I have seen, I don't mind if they go back to DoW1 and reintroduce a bit of base building mechanics.
A little bit cautious optimism for this.

The specs on high-end tablets are impressive these days. They can play things like Civilisation 5 and XCOM without a hitch.
(admittedly Firaxis outsource those ports to Aspyr I think)

Imperial Knight
Re: It's happening.
I think Titan-class units really blindsided folks. I definitely wasn't expecting stuff of that scale.

Only 3 factions, not looking good, waiting some gameplay footage now.
This is smelling like coh2 again, a game where to unlock all the multiplayer stuff that ONLY and ONLY influences the multiplayer balance you need to pay for more than 150€ (just to be clear it excludes the SP content and cosmetic stuff).

Damn it, looks like DoW3 is not going to be salvation but the death of DoW series like CoH2 for CoH. Crap, DoW2 is my favourite game of all times, what will i play after its death

Re: It's happening.
Well, there will probably be a fourth faction, since the three factions announced so far will all be playable in the campaign. There will probably be a main threat to deal with.

Re: It's happening.
If its 3 factions. I'll be happy. Relic needs to learn how to balance first before adding 5 factions and making a cluster fuck out of it. They will add more races for sure, but pretty much after they've grounded the multiplayer balance with the 3 factions first. SM being slow and steady. Orks being aggressive and attrition intensive and Eldar being movement based and glass cannons. Once they've mastered the 3 basic compositions and styles, I feel that they can add other factions with confidence.

Pretty sure there wont. It will be like new faction every year for 29.99$ - Chaos, IG and if they will be successful - other factions. Just crossing fingers there wont be p2w dlc's. Only skins.

Re: It's happening.
My biggest fear right now is the cover.
I guess the current cover system doesn't work with huge armys..., but it was one of the main features of Dow2 and CoH1/2. (Cover created by artillery changes the whole dynamic towards the end of a game.)

Re: It's happening.
Based on what? There's no evidence either way. Even if they do end up selling new factions, there could very well be a fourth faction based on the description of the campaign given so far.DandyFrontline wrote:Pretty sure there wont.

No evidence, but there's a set precendent, to say the truth I'm cautiosly pessimistic about this whole deal of "elite" "collectable" units which impact your game performance which sound more or less like the call ins from CoH2 commanders, which you have to buy or farm with RNG drops,aside from that, in coh2 there are separate MP and SP "Xpacs" and on release you had to buy each faction separately for the muliplayer for 15€ iirc each (latest example the british forces http://store.steampowered.com/app/365820/ ) or in the case of the western front armies it was 30€ for both.
The PC gamer article also repetitely mentition a simplified cover system, which I hope won't mean casualization of the genre, but we'll wait for the gameplay vids to talk about that.
To end I'm also incredibly worried about this:
For multiplayer, inspired by Dota's hero selection phase, Relic designers are considering an element of pick and counter-pick to the pre-battle screen, though they're yet to show exactly how this will work.

Re: It's happening.
The PCgamer screens worry me a bit. The units other than the imperial knight look kinda bad graphics wise. I hope its only because its still in early development.

Re: It's happening.
Just because the units are visually-distinct, doesn't mean the graphics are bad, in my opinion.
Re: It's happening.
Pics aint grimdark enough, they look way too clean, which really doesn't fit the theme of a game centered around warfare.

I agree 100% with you. We need to be able to distinguish abilities and other in-game markers more during competitve play. Too many times do we get indicators/symbols mixing into each other and we barely get to react to it. Not everything needs to be grim and dark. That's soo obvious of a directions in 90% of games and art styles.
