What were they thinking?

>2k players in an rts in the year 2017

Dont see the issue considering it's a dead genre.

>no last stand on release
what a mistake

>Muh e-sports
>Muh competitive multiplayer

That releasing a painfully unfinished and buggy mess of a game with barely any content would do well just because they had an amazing trailer to go with it.

>focus on multiplayer crap
>game turns out shit and unfun because of it
Wow who could have fucking guessed.

Why even have this be a 40k game anyway? It looks fucking nothing LIKE 40k, and the story is such a shallow uninteresting piece of shit that it's insulting. It honestly should have been just blocks marching at each other considering it's nothing like 40k

This.
RTS is made for comp stomping

>dont see the issue

Aoe2HD has tripple the ammount of players

Relics previous game COH2 has double the players

DoW2 has more active players

And these are old as fuck titles, so yes DoW3 is especially dead by genre standards. Not even mentioning starcraft.

Honestly, there just isn't enough content

They should have released with more maps, more modes and maybe one more race

Will probably just wait for the expansions to play it again

>It looks fucking nothing LIKE 40k
Looks like GWs official portrayals.

>shallow uninteresting piece of shit
Just like near every BL novel.

>Color scheme templates that are designed to be easy to read and understand for when painting

Don't be an idiot

Craftworld Eldar have always had vivid striking colours. Stop crying about what is and isn't 40k when what you mean is that it isn't grimdark and brown like you want it to be.

When did I ever say that colors were the problem you dumbass? You can have a lot of color but still look gritty. A perfect example would be Warhammer Total War, which is colorful as Fuck and still looks good and fits the setting. DoW3 looks far too clean, and absurdly cartoony with everything it does, and the textures are practically non existent so the bright colors only hinder it rather than help it

>You can have a lot of color but still look gritty.

Yes, but that's not what real, modern Warhammer 40k is and neither were Dawn of War games, you millenial shit.

So basically you're throwing a bitch-fit not because of the lackluster game design, but because the units look like they're from the tabletop and not covered in a layer of dirt?

Yeah bro totally

No problems here

This AAA game is totally not dead 3 weeks after release, no sir.

>Make open beta
>Get feedback about balance
>Change nothing for release
>Don't fix bugs which make some race OP
>Current meta is so strong that there no reason to try anything else unless you want to lose
>After a month delay balance patch for another week because muh dlc isn't ready yet.

Gee I wonder why people don't want to play assmarines spam.
I bet they will also fuck up balance even more with patch on next week and also didn't bother to fix stuff in late game.

If the patch didn't just cause a completely new round of problems it wouldn't be a relic game.

Even the tabletop looks better than this game. There is no shading whatsoever on any of the ingame models and they are all bright colors with no depth in them

But that's just the surface of why this game is shit

>Any DoW games
>AAA

Why is it the retards always make the same statement when they know it's false every single time?

He compared it to "a 20 year old game" and a non AAA release though.

If you want AAA compare it to starcraft and see how well that goes lmao

>People who haven't played the game.
It's a MOBA!
>People who played the beta weekend.
It's a shitty MOBA.
>People who bought the game and played more than a match.
It's a mediocre RTS with heavy influences from MOBAs.

>heavy influences from MOBAs.
Nah not really.

>All of those people
Its fucking garbage

So in other words these arguments are all correct

>complaining about ASM spam when everything Eldar exists

Towers, lanes, a core and microing your Elite units is the name of the game tho.

this is my first DoW and first Relic game (I think) so I don't know how stubborn they are as developers when it comes to listening to the fans. I'm pretty sure they'll add a more traditional rts mode later because the ONE game mode they launched with isn't really blowing people's socks off.

Maybe he isnt complaining that its anoying to play against, but that its literally the only viable tactic as an SM player?

Your other choices are so shit you have to spam asms, quite boring desu

>I'm pretty sure they'll add a more traditional rts mode later

Ahahahahahahaha
No.

It's not a MOBA but it's trash.

You're right, that makes sense as well.

Eldar are so fucking gay
they're even worse than normal elves
who in their right mind would buy and eldar army

>tfw I just play Orks and launch Nobz at people all day every day for funsies
Whoever put an ejector seat into these Trukks deserves a medal.

>>>Legitimately hope Relic is shut down for this shit heap. All these years of loyalty and all the money I gave, only for the biggest betrayal ever
Fuck off paid troll scum

>Your other choices are so shit you have to spam asms, quite boring desu

Every race basically has one viable build. Eldar just spam DAs into Falcons/Wraithguards and Orks just have to pray the opponent is retarded until they can get trucks and nobs. The game is just complete garbage with no unit diversity.

There's nothing wrong with some map having lanes.
A lot of the original DoW maps were basically just tubes where you funnel cool units at each other.

>paid troll scum

Fucking what

Ass marines can shit on everything eldar has and if they can't there always speeders.
Like literally SM feels like one unit faction.

And here we go again.

They are far more interesting in actual 40k fluff, but all game developers that even bother including them insist on making them lotr space elves.

they're really not

Two types of players. Those who want to run esoteric lists that require skill to do anything other than get worn like a sock, and people who want to abuse cheesy lists. I've never found any middle ground.

Their problem is that they're extremely unlikeable in all circumstances. For a race that's on the verge of extinction and at the mercy of a chaos god who they themselves created they have their heads stuck way too much up their own asses. The Elven races in Warhammer Fantasy are more likeable than these cunts for fuck's sake.

As long as you micro decently Dire Avengers and Scorpions shit on ASMs and any 2-3 cost SM elite. They have perma fleet of foot, are always fighting under a webway gate, don't bleed units because of the shield mechanic and cost zero power. The doctrines make it even more one sided. The only way the SM wins is if the Eldar player is garbage and has all his Dire Avengers stacked on top of each other.

While all this is going on the Eldar can tech up fast because Dire Avengers don't require any power investment and can be built out of the base structure so the Eldar doesn't need to build a single unit producing structure in all of tier 1. Eldar can also delay the economy and get a ton of map control by harassing the opponent's natural with his teleporting bonesingers. Tier 1 ranged SM units are also fucking useless because at the start of any fight decent Eldar players will just teleport bonesingers onto them to force them into melee.
