40k MMO (Info Leak)
« on: June 06, 2010, 01:29:11 AM »
Just found some "leaked info" on this, no clue on how true it is but it looks to make sense on predictions / speculation. (For found, read on SHC so stole and posted here :) )

Quote
Quote:
Playable factions:
- Imperium
- Eldar
- Orks
- Chaos

Features:
- Focus both on Meele and Long range Combat
- covering system
- 29 Zones (21 claimable, 8 invadeable)
- Open-World
- PvP around resource gathering and taking strategic points
- center zone features a conquerable stronghold
- No playable Tanks or other Warmachines at release but implemented possibility for expansion
- Tyranids as full fighting PvE-Faction

Lore (being discussed concerning certain faction-plots at the moment but here are the things we determined with Games Workshop so far):
- Game takes place in the southern border-sectors of Segmentum Tempestus
- Factions fight over a destroyed imperial forge world called Tarelis and its hive-city Cerberus X (newly added to the lore!)
- The story of the game will NOT take place in a parallel universe! Just like the Planet Kronus (made by our colleagues at relic) Tarelis will be part of the lore!
- Tyranids will be main-antagonists
- Unfortunately Vigil-games was not allowed to use Relics Gorgutz 'Ead 'Unter as Ork Warlord as he will make a final appearance in the second DoW2 expansion

Costs:
- 49.99$

Monthly fee:
- being discussed but most likely around 13$

Rating:
- targeted Teen/PEGI 16

Fully revealed at E3 2010."
(Less than 2 weeks away).

Remember WAR?
'Our lives are not our own. From womb to tomb, we are bound to others. Past and present. And by each crime, and every kindness, we birth our future.'

'We are not enemies, but friends. We must not be enemies. Though passion may have strained, it must not break our bonds of affection.
The mystic chords of memory will swell when again touched, as surely they will be, by the better angels of our nature.'

Hmm vigil are relatively unknown with only 1 title to their name, Darksiders - which was ok.

I wont believe the hype as WAR was a letdown on so many levels.

Despite WAR's shortcomings, I'll be looking forward to this one, as I'm a massive 40K fan.

Websites up.

My biggest concern is that its not going to be Orks v Imperium v Eldar v Chaos  all v Tyrandis (NPC's), but Eldar/Imp v Chaos/Ork  (the latter isnt really right at all from a lore pov), and that was the biggest failing of WAR, RVR but 1v1.  The best RvR always needs 3 sides - like DAoC and Planetside - which both worked well because of 3 sides, it was difficult for folks to get the upper hand.

Fear that it 1v1 might happen or fear of the consequences? Anyway, it will be 1v1 it seems:

Consequences mainly - as you end up with 1 side being dominant too much.  With 3 realms fighting, its much harder for any single realm to be supreme.  Unless they allow people to roll chars on all realms on the same server (PS did this - but in the early days it didnt matter/DAoC didnt and still doesnt) then it can all go wrong when the victory hounds start changing to the realm that looks like it will be the daddy that week.
