Well to be fair their aren't any other universes that the imperium could move to, crappy or otherwise. Unless the warp counts as a universe, but they'd all be completely screwed there anyway.RT-Medic-with-shotgun said:
Relic Could Help Out on Warhammer 40k MMO

Ehh... I'm not too big a fan of the forces of the Imperium myself. The Eldar are where it's at for me (my tabletop forces), closely followed by Chaos (original Dawn of War series). I didn't like DoW2 largely because of the shift away from base-building and more towards individual units. Not my speed at all.John Funk said:
Pretty much, though some people aren't as big an asshole race as others. Chaos, for example, has much more assholery than the Orks. The former is into all sorts of crazy depraved stuff - more so if you look at Slaanesh, Chaos God of Pleasure - while the Orks live to fight, plain and simple.John Funk said:
The thing about the Blood Angels and Space Wolves is that they have genetic problems (the Flaw and the Beast Within, respectively), and those are kinda difficult to apply to a game like Dawn of War or Dark Millennium where all of the Space Marine units and skills are identical and the only difference between Chapters is a name and palette swap. The Blood Ravens' desire to hoard information, as a result of not knowing who their Primarch is, is kinda mentioned in Dawn of War 2, but that's about it. It doesn't have impact on gameplay.Infernai said:
If you want to go with a different Chapter, for the love of God, do not pick the Ultramarines. They are the Blandy McBlandersons of the Imperium. I would go with the Dark Angels myself, though their uniform is different from other Chapters (the robes and all that).
It's not so much their single player balance that bothers me, it's their inability to balance out multiplayer.RelexCryo said:
I remember when Dark Crusade first came out and Tau could straight up win fights in 5 minutes thanks to Tau Commander & Vespid combination. They could harass so incredibly well that they just rofl stomped over your economy.
A squad of kroot or a fire squad would end the game for you.
The Necrons also couldn't be stopped either, Tau players who where rolling everyone just whined all day about the Necrons ability to face roll them. Them and everyone else.
It was frankly hilarious to watch a single Necron squad slowly march towards an enemy only to get in range whilst under fire and proceed to decimate them.
Stuff like this in an MMO is just unsettling.
I kinda like the fluff they've been building up around the Blood Ravens. If the scuttlebutt around the internet is to believed, they may have a very interesting origin story.Skizle said:
http://warhammer40k.wikia.com/wiki/Blood_Ravens Just skip to the end and read the final speculative article on the origins of their gene-seed.
OT: I have the utmost belief in Relic. DoW1 and DoW2 were very different games, but they both shined equally bright. Relic are A-OK in my book.
That's a fun read. The concept and possibilities are intriguing.Dirty Apple said:
Not sure where I read it, might have been Gamespot. But I think that the only "class" you will get to play in Dark Millennium is that of the Inquisition. It might include the Grey Knights, if we are lucky enough.
