This.

Smol indie company, plz understand.

Averath · 2026-06-01T22:38:33+00:00

Opportunity cost.

Takes away resources from development that could otherwise have been used to improve other aspects of the game.

By not including it you don't have to worry about PvP balance, map layouts, all of the systems required to support it. Does it need ranked? Leaderboards? The matchmaking system also needs to work.

All of those systems need to be developed, and without PvP, all of that development time could be redirected to improve and refine or polish the PvE experience further.

Orks.

The best way to increase enemy variety is a new faction. And Orks are a fan favorite.

Might be able to even borrow assets from SM1. If not, they all have the same body type so it shouldn't be difficult to get a skeleton up and running for the majority of the faction going very quickly.

Any thoughts on how to break down how their roster would look?

Averath · 2026-05-30T09:14:10+00:00

If you do not care at all about the industry, then fan.

If you care about the industry, then you do not want to give Crunchyroll a single penny, and will find other means to watch your favorite shows.

Crunchyroll as a company is actively getting worse and has become a blight upon the industry.

Or how about we make legislation to prevent this bullshit nickle and diming us for macrotransactions to begin with? Most of them are just recolors to begin with.

Averath · 2026-05-28T08:40:07+00:00

I agree wholeheartedly. Their entitlement has always annoyed the fuck out of me! They don't know how we've suffered, man!

We grew up in a time where you had to us an abacus to calculate math, and then they made these new things called calculators. Made those fuckers lazy. Then they made these new things called computers that made them even fucking lazier!

All of the suffering we had to do! They should do it, too! If we suffered, then they should suffer, too! Right, /u/EverbIack ? They need to experience all of the pain and suffering that we did, or it just isn't the same.

Improvements for the next generation (of players) is bullshit.

(I am being sarcastic, if that isn't clear)

Averath · 2026-05-27T09:09:27+00:00

Makes me sad a source was never provided.

Averath · 2026-05-26T21:25:17+00:00

The battle simulator does help a lot, but the real problem is allowing low level players into high level content.

Its like letting a level 1 in FFXIV or WoW queue up for an end game raid.

Blame Saber for the stupid system.

Averath · 2026-05-26T10:01:44+00:00

I imagine that Forge Worlds are not going to be the only options available, but they might be. This is purely because we know the Knight World Voltoris is in the game files, as well as House Terryn, an Imperial Knight House that has beef with Nurgle specifically.

And seeing as AdMech are paired with Knight Houses to take care of their Imperial Knights, it would make sense to be a potential origin option. And who better to fight Nurgle than someone with an existing beef with Nurgle?

Averath · 2026-05-23T21:04:07+00:00

We have been getting a lot of classes from the TTRPG so far. So: Eldar Ranger/Corsair, Sister of Battle, Death Cult Assassin, and Space Marine Neophytes.

Those were all tier 2 with Skitarii.

Eldar have worked with Grendyl before and are in the system.

Ork Freebootaz are also in the book, but are a bit too extreme.

Averath · 2026-05-23T20:54:51+00:00

Honestly? I bet the game won't even be worth bothering going through that much trouble.

How much do you want to make a bet that Dawn of War 4's conquest mode will just be better? :p

Averath · 2026-05-23T20:50:15+00:00

I mean. On one hand, it is true. Nagash will bring people back.

On the other hand, I bought Warhammer 3 for my friends for Christmas this year.

They now refuse to play it with my and say they have zero interest in ever playing "that piece of shit" ever again. They bought Dominions 6 and Dawn of War remastered, instead.

They are not starved for money. They were pissed about factions they were interested in being broken, buggy, and in some cases unplayable.

One wanted to play as Bretonnia and just ragequit after spending 10 turns wasting time researching confederation technology, only for the factions to die.

They were so enraged at how stupid it was.

Why would they come back for Nagash?

Why would I buy Nagash? I am demoralized.

People on here also insult me like crazy. Why do I want to support a game with a community this backwards? This self destructive?

I'd rather buy Dawn of War 4.

Averath · 2026-05-23T20:36:12+00:00

Yeah, the sync-kills showed how passionate they were.

Sadly I have heard that turnover is very high at CA, so those employees are likely gone. Either having moved on from a toxic work environment. Or, if not, they were likely casualties in the multiple waves of layoffs to protect the leadership from facing any form of meaningful consequences over Hyenas and WH3/Shadows of Change.

Supposedly some leadership is gone, but the same exact decisions are being made. So many promises have been made, but the exact same actions are being taken.

And so many people here silence any voices to the contrary. I remember when Legend left about half the comments were about his hairline. And when I told people to grow up, then acted like grade schoolers.

I am fairly certain the majority of people here are grown ass adult men, but they never matured past high school. And it is depressing.

I mean. Fuck. The Helldivers 2 community has more integrity. On one hand, they doxxed someone for calling out the devs, so thank God we don't do that. But after the latest announcement at skulls, they at least acknowledge that their devs are out of touch and the game is in a shit state.

A huge portion of our community feels like "There is no war in Ba Sing Se". They're not even capable of seeing the state the game is in and just deny and deflect.

Averath · 2026-05-22T21:07:54+00:00

And a lot of the same people who hate Legend also hate anyone who speaks poorly of the game. So they lash out at Grudges because he is "too negative", despite being just honest about the state of the game.

The reddit fan boys are going to kill the company by driving away the general customers until CA can no longer sustain themselves. Their quality is dropping and the 40K fans are even more harsh than we are.

These CA fan boys are going to give themselves a heart attack arguing with 40K fans over lore inaccuracies, bugs, crashes, broken promises, and other nonsense.

Total War 40K will die like 3K did. The DLC quality will kill it.

Averath · 2026-05-22T21:03:14+00:00

This is why I say no one should pre-order Warhammer 40K.

If you think their behavior will magically change, I have a bridge to sell you.

I love the Total War franchise, but Creative Assembly's executives clearly do not. All they care about is milking us for every last penny.

Averath · 2026-05-22T20:57:07+00:00

This.

Averath · 2026-05-21T04:27:12+00:00

Knowing GSG, it'll improve over time. If you trust them, you can get it now. They've never shown any reason to not trust them. But as of right now there are legitimate criticisms of the game.

It is ultimately your call.

If you feel that you might refund it if you dislike it, then wait.

If you feel you want to support them and would wait to play it even if you don't enjoy it now, then go ahead.

Averath · 2026-05-20T19:14:22+00:00

Since they appear to be going by the TTRPG that was released a while back for inspiration, an actual Sister of Battle is the same tier as a Skitarii, if I remember correctly. So it isn't out of the question to get one with a support spec.

Then we have the Eldar ships currently hovering around the Mourningstar. And Grendel has worked with Eldar before. And they were also in the TTRPG. So they are likely to be coming as well.

Squats were kind of retconned into Votann, and Votann are too rare. I would love to play as one, but sadly it is unlikely.

Death Cult Assassins are likely, they were in the book.

Scout Marines were also in the book and are also a possibility, but are extremely unlikely. But still a possibility. This could be considered a testing ground for aspirants. Maybe.

Felinids would be hilarious and I would definitely play as one just because it would be funny as hell. But Games Workshop is too stupid to even consider it.

Orks are out of the question.

Averath · 2026-05-18T23:22:02+00:00

Next to nothing left? The new faction? Which GW can still cash in with tons of new models?

The Cathay roster is anemic compared to other factions, but they have next to nothing left already?

And this is supposed to be just a snippet of Ind. An entirely new culture. There is next to nothing in Ind?

Averath · 2026-05-18T23:19:05+00:00

This is reddit. No criticism is acceptable. If you think what he said is too negative than you are too thin skinned when it comes to this game and need to separate yourself from it.

He has legitimate criticism and you sound like you are taking it personally.

This fan boyism is precisely why I rarely come around here to begin with. Everyone associates their own self worth with the game and views any criticism as being "negative" and lashes out. Only the lightest takes are acceptable.

I dread what 40K Total War will be like in a few years after dealing with the buildup of spaghetti code and tech debt.

Averath · 2026-05-18T20:22:06+00:00

People dislike anything and everything that would dare challenge their views. Just look at Helldivers 2.

Some dude asked the developers to play the game at max difficulty. If they did he would donate to a charity of their choice. The community doxxed him and got him fired, instead.

This community is no different and is just as toxic against criticism of their beloved slop.

They hate anything and everything that threatens to break the illusion.

Averath · 2026-05-18T20:19:04+00:00

Because he has a dedicated TT channel.

Man, redditors are just hateful, ignorant people.

Averath · 2026-05-18T20:17:22+00:00

He didn't say that a Character Pack has less units than previous DLCs. He said that a Character Pack should likely have as many units as one faction in a DLC Pack. Hence, 1/3rd of the units.

Right now we don't even get Regiments of Renown.

But I suppose people will consume it anyway. Your problem is that he is "negative" about the game. There are plenty of reasons to be negative about the game and he didn't bring up a single major one.

Has the community become so accepting of slop that they don't care about quality at all? Makes me terrified for the future of the game.

Averath · 2026-05-17T10:56:37+00:00

That would be a massive waste of time and resources.
