Tell relic to

:stfu:

and buy something else is my take.

[The Fell Hand]

Yeah....FUCK.

[The Dark Messenger]

Wait... JUST IG? I mean, it was kinda obvious that there'd be IG, but no DE, no Nids, no Tau?

They disguest me.

[Psy]

whats even sadder all the fanbois are jumping on the "we luff you relic let us suck your penises and pay you for it"....

Fuck relic and their games now on.

[ilia]

The end has come.

[Psy]

The end has come.

End? this is not an end. Just a new beginning.... again.

7am today :) I still got it :)

how is that for "expansion"

[ilia]

huh?

Whatever.

I have no interest in everything what "Winter Attack" is. It is a game for which I have no time to attend to. By the time it is released, I will probably be close to the day on which I will enlist in the army.

I have come here to play Dawn of War, and Dawn of War I shall play, until I join the military. No time for anything else. :|

[Foree]

WA is an expansion pack to DoW ;)

[ilia]

I know. But like I said, I am here for DoW only.

I dont have the time for any other game.

[Weavern]

Psy quit complaining about every facet of DOW. I could care less if its the IG if they bring new features a potentionally better campaign and fix up anything they aint going to fix for DOW currently putting it off into the expansion which is what blizzard does. They stop patching then release a patch to give some features to retail while they horde the most of them in the expansion. As others have speculated DOWx will have the IG and another race which is not MP compatable which is insane marketing and people will buy it anyway. There are allot of TT fans who will love to play as the IG and as time progresses each new added race will pull more fans in. We do not know how much they will change the other races for all we know they could add another SM chapter in. SO quit complaining about relic, they are not perfect but so far they have done a better job then anything produced under sierra has done in terms of support.

Something spotted on relicnews from the new intro possibly:

[Mistress Crystal]

You guys are fucking impossible.

[The Fell Hand]

Meh, I wish it wasn't IG, but I do understand. That shot is sweet, and DoW is fine for me, IG or not. My nids will consume you all eventually.

[stats]

tbh mass swarming of fighters backed by heavy heavy gunnery was my HW:C style. sounds like IG will be my kinda shit - but what do i know...

[The Fell Hand]

DUDE. CHECK OUT THE PICTURES

http://dow.sanctuary-network.com/index.php?showtopic=3520&st=20&#entry29032

[ilia]

Yes these certainly look awesome.

Can any fluff expert point out whether or not SM vshicles are superior or inferior to IG ones?

I mean.. SMs should be the best right?

[The Fell Hand]

Hmm, well, according to tabletop...*strains to remember old days*...It's hard to say which was better. Some SM could employ variations of guard tanks, and IG being so reliant on tanks, had a large contingent of them, each with a different purpose. We'll see which ones they put in. I'm wondering how they'll do this, because guard really are -that- tank dependant. Hard to answer your question since sm pred ~ chaos pred. So we've yet to see an actual -tank to tank- comparison. I predict that guard tank will be a tough little bastard. But no lascannon upgrades :nono:...so, hmm, yeah we've only seen one tank. When more details come out, and more experts arrive, we'll see.

[Psy]

They stop patching then release a patch to give some features to retail while they horde the most of them in the expansion.

which is the equivalent of a dick squeeze until you cry MONEY.

Unlike that scenario however the game above has added new tanks, has auto map download, has a STILL relatively ok online population, does not crash, is still being patched/moded and is balanced.

Cheers

[Mistress Crystal]

WHat the fuck do you expect, psy? They have to make money somehow. They're making a living off this shit.

[Weavern]

Psy i dont care what you think, they added new tanks, new etc etc in an EXPANSION! It may be exactly them sucking money out of you but guess what EVERYONE does it unless you have some idealist developer and producer or you are playing a MMO which has income past the initial release. DOW is a great game and i'm getting tired of you ranting about relic, they are not perfect, guess what blizzard isnt either they just have more $$ to do what they want and they estabished their own servers way back when to do that now is a ludcrious statement and is unfeasable for almost any company. Infilation :p Blizzard is sinking arguably hundreds of millions if not billions into servers and upkeep relic nor THQ has that kind of income. Sure the patches are less then ideal but guess what, you paid for it you donnt have to pay for it anymore so you can stop playing and let everyone else enjoy the game they still play regularly and are content to keep playing. Relic is a good developer and are obviously trying you are not working inside relic and cannot say why things are not being done the way you want. Like everyone else relic tries to do something good and relevent and people tear them appart just look at the expansion thread. People ask relic to fix something then they fix it and everyone screams why didnt you fix this other thing. You cant appease everyone and this will appease the majority once it gets out.

[TaiNteD]

:\ What is really shitty is they are proly' going to incorporate the Armored Company rules so your gonna' see nothing but preds running around...God damn...WHERES THE TAU DAMMIT!!! GARG!

[Blueviper]

I think the more races the game has the better. It has a potential to become even more competitive and we have a whole new race to master.

I think it sounds fun...it's a game afterall

what could be better than more DoW?!?!??!!?!?!?

[Entropy]

:\ What is really shitty is they are proly' going to incorporate the Armored Company rules so your gonna' see nothing but preds running around...God damn...WHERES THE TAU DAMMIT!!! GARG!

Er...I don't think IG has had preds for around 10,000 years.

Seriously though they've stated that there's going to be more stuff than "just" adding stuff into an already existing race. If scrapping existing models is any indication it might just be a big one. As for the game as of now if you needed anymore confirmation from the devs that there will be a patch they made it here (http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?t=56546&page=8&pp=15) and here (http://forums.relicnews.com/showthread.php?t=56546&page=10&pp=15) so any doubts about the current game being abandoned in favor of the expansion are still as of yet unfounded.

[Psy]

sigh - idealist? so long as people kiss ass nothing will change. What, exactly has relic fixed? Shit all in reality, and if anyone dares to not turn a blind eye to that, they are pissed all over by reality mongers, and kissass fanbois.

k, had enough - people want to stay stupid and constantly be used - let them.

cheers

[Mistress Crystal]

I hope you never get into business as a profession, Psy. :) For the sake of your success.

[eXoRciSt]

looks kewl

laser spotters on the tanks, sweet. but im guessing you cant play without the patch.
like psy said,

Cheers

[Shackled Phoenix]

the tank in those pictures is a baneblade. it is far more powerful than nearly any other tank in the game, and actually wasn't originally included in the IG army. it was added much much much later in some special rules for a couple of "super tanks" DoW wise, it'll most likely be about the equivalent of a squiggy/avatar/thirster.

as for the rest of guard vehicles, fluff wise marine tanks were sposed to be 10x better, but as for the rules in TT, the IG tanks were generally better than the SM tanks.

wish they'd added a cooler race than the IG, but oh well, let's see how well they make em work in MP. least they gave us the baneblade, which is gonna be OMFG alotta firepower.

[BIack]

Used to play table top many moons ago (EPIC, with an IG army), I think Marine tanks were basically quick and quite versatile and the IG tanks were more powerful. The superheavy varities were awesome. The old baneblades were not the ones in the picture, at least not when I played...they had 2 turrets with a double barrel on each. Shadowswords were more similar, but they had missiles too.

They used leman russ tanks, vindicators, and many others.....nasty pieces of work. I particularly rememeber the deathstrike missiles very fondly.

[TaiNteD]

I bet there is going to be an upgrade for "Armored company converter" You spend the req for it and you change 5 squad cap for 5 more vehicle cap, max of 40 of 50 with IG. Gonna' be soooo overpowered late game.

[Shackled Phoenix]

It's a baneblade, the newer model made by black citadel for 40k (not epic) seperated the turrets rather than combined the barrels on the same one.

my statements regarding IG vs SM vehics were based off 40k not epic, so epic prolly represented the vehics better fluff wise.

[Morpheus]

Hope it is not going to be anything like a landraider - waste of pop and resources.

[Entropy]

It's not a transport like the LR,so I doubt it would be.

[eXoRciSt]

4 LR do kick some ass though

[Entropy]

...but you can get 6 preds and do a better job of things :P

[ilia]

Yes, but 6 preds take way longer to build and to upgrade, whereas a LR kicks the holy ass of infantry (and breaks em too), has the MS ability, is moderately effective vs Vehicles (I killed 3 FPs with 9+ Plasma squads, 1 ML squad and a LR). and comes fully loaded for action.

The only problem is the steep pop cost.

[Morpheus]

Nah. 4 preds with 4 drop-dreads for the win.

[TaiNteD]

Err, you can only have 3 drop dreds. :P

[The Fell Hand]

Er, no u can drop 4.

[TaiNteD]

O.o Err, have you people been playing the same game as me? OHOHOHOHOHOH!! You mean having one at 100%, gotcha'. My bad.

[Chance]

ive always hated IG (i play the tt game and i play orks) and Ig are just week cowards and tryhard sm's lol they always need sm's to save there butts.
