Here's how to play imperials: Anyhow, after managing to match up against a friend a few times (by queuing at the same time), I gotta say that assault boat swarms are hella deadly. A single big wave of them reduced my Dominator into a useless hulk with shields, engines, and nova cannon all destroyed. Looks like I'll have to invest into a few frigates and maybe a carrier of my own.

I was pretty disappointed with the beta so far. AI cheats shamelessly (on points, ignores Running Silent or detection ranges), the game looks less impressive than the preview videos even on epic settings with a high end PC and seems to hard crash half the time or stutters/freezes for a few seconds throughout the game if it doesn't. As much as I am a huge 40k fan I think I'll be taking my refund and waiting a few months to see if the devs can get their poo poo together.

Is this game meant to be singleplayer or multiplayer focused? I got the impression that it would be about the multiplayer with the singleplayer as an afterthought?

Launchbays are friggin ridiculous, my 4 game win streak brought to an end by a bug that doesn't let you redeploy though. Seems like you can just dance around the imperium's cruisers and launch assault boats all day to win.

Assault Boats seem to be full of Bloodthirsters made of dynamite for the damage they seem to do if they so much as sneeze on an Imperial Cruiser. It doesn't help there doesn't seem to be any flightbay-capable Imperial ships early on to get some interceptors up.

I got the impression it would be about singleplayer with multiplayer as an afterthought, as it has to be if it wants to survive in the RTS market. The prologue of the campaign only confirmed that - the campaign looks very freeform and involved, while the multiplayer is going to be an unbalanced mess because of their progression mechanics. And yeah Chaos seems really crazy with their launch bays at the start - but that's cause there's only straight fights in the beginning, where they can kite and play for time. When you've got a convoy mission or a defense-side breakthrough those chaos ships are a whole lot less great.

Yeah, I haven't had any crash issues or anything like that so far. Game is cool and good. I'm also impressed with how well it manages to translate a slow-paced turn-based tabletop game into a fun and interesting RTS (with bullet time) while being totally recognizable to BFG vets. These guys done good. Only thing that grinds my gears so far is not being able to back out of certain screens, like the Skirmish setup after you click go to battle. Seems like a weird bit of functionality to miss. EDIT: Also there are Orks in the tutorial missions and their introduction is wonderful.

That requires far much more effort than I'm willing to put in to a "will be wiped at launch" beta, sadly. Some redditor or other no-lifer will likely confirm if it's possible before launch.

I also picked this up, and while I wait for the Glorious Orks to be unlocked at launch or before. I picked up Chaos. My first match did not go well as I ended up fighting some one with two level two cruisers who blinked into my fleet and that was game. I just got to level 2 and picked apart an imperial cruiser with my two light long lances cruisers until the player decided he really wanted to save his big toy now

The only thing I have to say I dislike is the keybindings. I'm probably pretty bad, but it really felt as overwhelming as an actual crusier flight control with all the poo poo you can do. That being said, pretty loving cool. I'm building my fleet out like a rogue trader's personal navy, so all my ship's have the teleport skill to get past any imperial red tape

I wish you could tape escorts together and order them as one. Other than that I just want more co-op options and I want to be able to co-op the campaign. That's it.

So after playing the tutorial and a multiplayer match I can say that my laptop with a i7-5700 2.7ghz processor can play this fine, who knows if that holds up across all the scale the game may do. edit: and you can pause IN MULTIPLAYER. vorebane fucked around with this message at 03:39 on Mar 11, 2016 |
