I've been lurking their community forum and my god is it cancer incarnate. You've got the LORD OF Posts going around practically every thread boasting about his post count he got from Roleplaying on the forum, You've got a massive thread in offtopic that is unmoderated for whatever reason that is 10235 pages long with a population of 6 people with a guy who thinks he was Robot Jones in a previous life and a resident angsty teenage emo lolcow who keeps going on about how he tried to have sex with an underage girl and it was the parents fault for getting BTFO'd. It's like a cesspool of spam, autism and drama. I thought I was on Tumblr.
Founders forum is full of diehard fanatics that try to censor criticism and white knight the game so hard. this has all put me off the game to be honest, I've also wanted to be part of a warhammer 40,000 MMORPG since I first started playing in 5th edition (read books and stuff long before that) but just even a few weeks looking at the community and how they act has put me off the game. I don't want to make the mistake of getting overhyped or exicted like I did with Space Marine. I believe that Eternal Crusade can be some great which I've waited for years to be part of, but the U-turns, the delays and the toxic community.
No.270
>>267Just spent about 15 minutes going through that Uriel1339's post, (the lord of posts) and they all seem to be from shitty roleplaying games he has devoted his life to on the forum.
Why does Eternal crusade even have an RP forum? Shouldn't those who're interested in wh40k RP just go to like a dedicated wh40k site like Warseer or B&C?
As for the game, currently I'm still on edge about it failing, don't get me wrong I love 40k but it reeks of WAR and Space Marine, with maybe just a sprinkling of DMO.

No.281
To have white knights on a founder's forum pre-release defending the devs decisions and actions is nothing unfamiliar, it happens with a lot of games, like Star Citizen. Thing is the Devs offer you something shiny or something that no other normal member can have for a price and with it they buy your loyalty, you're inducted into a special club (or in EC's case a sub-forum) where you're surrounded with people who all have the same opinions as you and over time you sort of see these opinions as the norm of the community, you then leave your special club to find other people have differen't opinions or criticisms of the game and they seem entirely wrong and alien to you.
You also have stuff on the founder's forum that falls under a ridiculous form, but still existent of elitism. Discussions, polls and talk with the Devs go in within the forum that shape the game, it's a platform that the standard users don't have due to either financial difficulties, concern for the success for the game or just in outright protest. Why there are 5th chapter polls and gameplay and lore discussions in the founder's forum instead of General or gameplay discussion is part of the problem of ostracising the typical basic member.
No.286
I must admit, the Eternal Crusade forums are starting to sound like the cluster fuck that was the Space Marine forums. A lot of the problems and attitudes which have been described here sound eerily similar, although that forum had a massive rabid Brony forum if memory serves, they isolated themselves in a single thread in offtopic with an extra ordinary high post count and then organised thread hijacks and raids on the other sub-forums. None of them got banned for destroying half the forum which was weird.
As for the shitposting I'd refrain from going into the realms of harassment or needless drama making, even though this guy/girl (Eldar avatar) sounds like his ego needs to be brought back down to Earth.

So back on the topic of Eternal Crusade. Who do you guys want the fifth sub-factions to be?

Just watched yesterday's Eternal Crusade Twitch. Nothing new was showcased apart from which Craftworlds are going to be viable for the Eldar 5th sub-faction vote. You have a choice of Mymeara, Altansar and Yme-Loc. Note: Voting for Mymeara isn't going to get you Shadow Spectres at release or guarantee their going to be included in Eternal Crusade.
Apart from that, certain sections of Outpost walls will be destructible to allow attackers another entry point along with tunnels and 'sewer' systems possibly located beneath the outposts.
Also, which ever faction controls these outposts will have their own banners and turrets etc. Nothing was said on fortresses yet and I'm wondering if they're to still be included.
The Eldar subfaction vote will be on the 11th of March, no time or method has been given on how the vote is going to be conducted.

Most threads revolving around their false promises such as One big server at launch, their PvE coop dungeon mode to get rewards, Guild and player owned customisable Strke-cruisers will active a hive of shill and fanboys that'll instead of arguing or trying to prove their point will just insult you as the useless biased mods just sit back, doing nothing, only opposing negative feedback.

This is basically a beacon to every developer and publisher out there that yes you can screw us over, you can turn your backs on your promises and we'll be okay with it, completely complacent with it and happy to defend you for it.

Jesus, watching the Space Marine posters on the Eternal Crusade forums insulting eachother and trying to convince each other to vote either Iron hands, Imperial Fists or Raven Guard is fucking depressing. I'm starting to wonder if the majority of the forum population is twelve.
Some of the stupidest shit I've seen written is that Raven Guard is a bad choice because they don't have tanks and that the Imperial Fists are better than the Raven Guard and Iron Hand's specialised traits.

Tornadium used to be a fanboy when the forums first kicked off, he used to wander into threads and put down any negativity or criticisms of the game, most of his arguments at that time were well thought it out and rational but had a clear indication of bias and support for bEhaviour. I'm pretty sure he was one of those members who if could not convince people they were wrong to criticise or mistrust the Devs he'd turn to petty insults and become incredibly passive aggressive to the point of the threads getting locked.
It's terribly humorous to see him now on the other side of the fence getting shutdown by the Mods.

This is exactly what I'm still monotring the game for. Seeing the forum fanboys tear each other apart and struggle to find new arguments to defend the game when older forum goers get dissiullusioned by cut content and broken promises.

As far as I can tell the voice acting is being done by the Devs who normally feature on the livestream.
I find the trailer incredibly teeth grindingly stupid, Space Marines running around trying to be all tacticool as if the game is ARMA III. It's pretty much a dumbed down version of that EVE online trailer and they didn't even rehearse, they probably did that trailer in one take, thought it was a good idea and never really looked at it.
It's like they're trying to Market the game towards 12 yearolds who are interested in CoD and Battlefield instead of legitimate Wh40k fans.

"The cloud" is a marketing term. It's usually used in the context of off-site storage - for example, a company may choose to forgo on-site data backups and instead upload their backups to "the cloud", which is really just a third party storage server
Saying that they want to do servers to be "hosted on the cloud" doesn't really make a whole lot of sense. The only way one could interpret this is that they are intending to outsource server management to 3rd party hosting companies.

The sad truth is that BEhaviour is the first and only studio produceing a Wh40k game that's had this level of drama, U-turns, False advertisements and Unprofessional staff threatening to ban people for asking questions and criticising the game.
Relic and THQ never did this, Space Marine was the only game where they didn't fufil several goals because THQ was going bankrupt.
But this is actually horrifying, this showcases that with an influential PR manager and enough fanboy elitism and fanaticism the devs can get away with lying to us and scummy marketing tactics.
A man who pretends to be your friend to sell you a car, is not your friend. It's worrying because other studios and publishers may choose to use this as a guide in future Wh40k gaming projects.
http://forum.eternalcrusade.com/threads/would-you-pay-to-be-a-founder-if-this-game-wasnt-set-in-the-warhammer-40k-universe.45994/
People are only buying this game because it is a part of the Warhammer 40,000 IP. People wouldn't buy into this if it was their own IP or Sci-fi universe, they wouldn't buy it for the mechanics, the features, goals or merits that it could become a good game, and this is every where
People would rather talk about the skins or ask for shiny trinkets like Terminators and Titans instead engage about balancing, about the worth of the cosmetics and the pricing, about how they're going to continually update the world and stop it from getting stale, explanations as to why several deadlines were missed, without answers like "It was a dream, I destroyed it, herpadurpaderpa I'm dick don't criticise me.
If people don't wise up to the fact that supporting this exploitation of people is actively hurting wh40k, we could see more Devs for wh40k following this path in the future

They're right about one thing though, I used to lurk on the DoW forums, this shit didn't happen, Relic announced what was implemented *in* the game and when release came everyone was fine because they hadn't been lied/ falsely advertised/ intentionally hyping stuff not in the game etc.
bEhaviour on the other hand, has. bEhavior listed features and core gameplay mechanics to be set for released that they didn't know if they could do, for example.
They told people numerous that the game was going to be one massive persistent world with more players than fighting over it than Planetside 2, Miguel went on to say they were looking at 500 vs 500, 4 factions and more being added.
Only to be told three years later that the technology to make that game isn't available.
Surely they should have researched the technology availible to them before going around for three years saying this was all on track.
I'm quite surprised that the forums didn't just explode, I mean, total waves of people getting refunds and boycotting the game… I'm surprised that so called "Video game journalists" didn't have a field day with it.

The thing that really sucks about it all is the core concept which was basically Planetside 2 but in the Warhammer 40k universe was a solid idea. It was easy to picture because it reminded me of the DoW campaign map. But instead of an RTS it was an FPS. I'd have absolutely played the shit out of that.

It's very difficult to keep up with what is going on since most of it happens in interviews or videos.
This one time nathan(lead) said there will be terminators at launch only to de-confirm it on the forums a short while later as just a wrongly spoken word in an interview.
But in short what I know:
the people who left are:
Michael Chan - 01/09/2014 - Systems Designer
Miguel Caron - 31/01/2015 - Lead / Senior Producer
Patrick Balthazar - 25/03/2015 - Lead Programmer
Steven Lumpkin - 04/04/2015 - Lead Level Designer
Ivan Mulkeen - 23/05/2015 - Lead Narrative Designer
Out of them:
Michael Chan returned last month.
Terminators, mega nobz, wraithguards are not to be present on release.
No open world.
Nothing on eldar or orks so far.
Fighting is instanced and fights are 1 race vs 1 race. No big fights with 3 or 4 races.
Number of players supported is absolutely unclear
>early access in Fall 2015
So we can see what it will be like then.
>We’re currently working on short, horde-style firefights as our main PVE content for launch.
So tyranids are probably some horde mode and not some dungeon exploring like I believed it would be initially. Though this is still vague as fuck.
>Similar horde mode game types can be found in Space Marine and Mass Effect 3.
So yeah horde mode is ebin trash.
Unreal Engine 4 is being used to develop the game.

I have been following this game for a while now and nothing but disappointment around every bend. The one thought that kept popping into my head was "Why the fuck did they add the eldars?"

Then you got the slinky marine fanboys fighting amongst themselves over what decal is applied to the shoulders that they are bribing with money. The devs are fighting amongst themselves and who ever wants to stick to the original plan is getting fired. The best part of all of this is the Tau would of made a better choice instead of the god damn eldar.
