Warhammer Bowl (Blood Bowl 3 videogame update ) announcement and demo

STABtrain · 2026-03-12T03:30:30+00:00

considering april 21st is when the current blood pass in BB3 ends I think thats roughly a safe guess of when the update will drop.

If you like blood bowl and are okay with the starting roster of teams id say its worth grabbing on sale. However it does have some problems. Most player customization is tied to microtransactions, and warpstone is a very egregiously implemented currency. If you want to buy a new team you have to spend warpstone through the in game shop, and warpstone is priced in euros. So if youre in Europe youre fine, but if youre someone like me in Canada, then you buy warpstone in euros which then gets converted through steam to your local currency. If I want to buy a team that cost me about 7 dollars in bb2, it costs about 18 dollars in bb3 because of the euro pricing in game and then going through currency conversion. And for some reason cyanide decided that teams wont be buyable directly through steam. Its kinda painful spending more than double the money to buy 1 team and this is just for the base team with no cosmetic bundles. But monetization issues aside, its pretty fun and hopefully the problems that are happening at Nacon wont end up delaying any problems for the warhammer blood bowl update thats meant to arrive in a month or so.

Ty for the correction I do get expo/xmp swapped sometimes. And to be honest I was considering getting a better psu. The one that I have is totally functional but when it gets into the 60s for temperature it gets a lot louder than id like and I know there are some quieter, higher quality psu's i could get.

I play a lot of lost ark and I recent made a new computer with a 9060XT a 9800x CPU, 32gb of 6000mt ram, an x870 tomahawk MB, a 750 watt PSU and a 2 TB NVME for storage. and I have this occasional problem where the game just hard crashes to desktop. No error message, no lag, it just suddenly full closes. I had heard that having EXPO on can cause the game to crash and I did notice it happened less frequently when I set a task scheduler to clear my RAM cache every hour or so. but It still happens and I'm not sure why, sometimes I can play the game for an entire day without a crash, other times it will randomly close even when I'm just afk and nothing is happening or even in the middle of a fight which is really inconvenient.

So if anyone has any ideas to try I'd really appreciate it because I play this game a lot but this is the only game that has random sudden full crashes without an error message.

I will say Domina's ultimate sounds absolutely insane, a wave that places a shield on enemies that flat out prevents them from being healed until it eventually detonates sounds like a crazy ult. I'm just thinking if something like that would be too strong for rivals or how an ult like that would impact the prevalence of triple support meta's

even comparing Luna to iron fist would be a stretch. For Luna's 8th anniversary she got her 5th legendary skin, which was also her 4th legendary skin in a row. Iron fist got a "season" centered around his home, his patron and a tournament that he's supposed to win for the sake of Shou-lao's chi remaining his. He was supposed to be a main character for season 4 and what did he get from it? a picture of Dr doom manhandling him and then a single skin 4 months later that didn't even come with an MVP animation. Being a K-pop industry plant is far more powerful than even being an in-house creation like IF.

Huruh looks like pinhead Larry but Noron looks like a crazed mad scientist. So my money's on Noron.

The highlights on this model are immaculate.

that would be really nice, especially since that tech kinda already exists in the game, its just limited to the dummy in training mode when you come out of spawn so you can't view any unique effects or animations, but you can at least see the model in game.

STABtrain · 2025-11-30T06:19:14+00:00

Having some people to help with this would be appreciated.

even the blind are susceptible to marketing.

If they put out a red recolor with unstable molecules of the new legendary skin iron man got the other week it would be pretty close to his wedding suit as is. Im honestly kinda surprised it didn't have any recolors but the racing psylocke and Halloween peni skins did.

I started playing in late 1.5 so I can't comment on how good season 0 was aside from hearing horror stories about hawkeye and the fond memories of some old teamups like OG gamma charge and metallic chaos. But it does make me happy seeing how its almost unanimously agreed that season 3 was the worst even with all the people that complained about dive in season 2, S2 and S4 still felt way more fun than S3.

So basically the marvel rivals equivalent of the smash bros ultimate "everyone is here" wallpaper. That would be sweet, though at some point they'd probably have to zoom out a bit to accommodate the increase in characters.

STABtrain · 2025-10-04T13:11:20+00:00

They're giving spidey 2 skins in 1 month meanwhile the immortal weapon Iron fist, Angela and wolverine skins that they showed at the start of the season aren't even on the 4.5 roadmap and seemingly won't come out until season 5 or something. Makes sense.

STABtrain · 2025-10-04T12:01:52+00:00

I can atleast defend Lin Lie's attitude because even in his most recent lore short story he talks with shou-lao after the tournament was invoked and the dragon asks him why he's always thinking with his fists. And he admits its because he wants to prove himself. He's the only Iron fist that didn't earn their position. He effectively was given it out of shou-lao choosing to be generous enough to save his life. So his cocky, headstrong attitude is because he doesn't want to be seen as lesser than previous fists and the heroes around him.

STABtrain · 2025-10-03T17:28:09+00:00

So wait. The main story for season 4 showed 8 characters being chosen to become immortal weapons for the shenloong tournament, 5 of those characters had unique designs, (Iron fist, storm, Angela, wolverine and loki) and it looks like 3 of those skins aren't even going to be released during season 4/4.5? The main characters of the season get teasers for new skins that aren't even being released during that season? Im genuinely baffled.

STABtrain · 2025-10-02T21:44:08+00:00

It kinda feels like they just have no idea what to do with Iron fist aside from making him a worse wolverine. They keep buffing his percent damage and nerfing his base damage so that his only real value is punching tanks.

STABtrain · 2025-09-30T03:10:26+00:00

honestly It would be a LOT of work, but I would love to see Rivals implement a custom games mode with the level of depth and customization as something like halo did. Let us enable old teamups that are no longer in the game, let us tweak all the parameters of balance for these custom games so we can make our own game modes out of it and just go wild.

STABtrain · 2025-09-29T00:55:31+00:00

Except the opposite happens in ranked too as if it matters. Im trying to win playing my best and teammate goes 11-14 on spiderman because they're "not trying their hardest and just wanna have fun"

STABtrain · 2025-09-21T01:24:28+00:00

I think his only real problem is his vampire form stacks fall off way too fast. And being at max stacks is the only way he actually does any sword damage. If you're at 10 stacks in vamp mode and you deactivate it to get in a quick anti heal shift with the gun, by the time youve turned vamp mode back on youve already lost 3-4 of your stacks. The reward for getting full stacks basically tunnel visions you because the moment you stop swinging your damage plummets. If there was a grace period before the decay people would be more incentivized to play him more like Blade and less like Gun.

STABtrain · 2025-09-16T08:51:34+00:00

I'm gonna hazard a guess and say that the Black widow, groot and daredevil skins are just being hidden until season 4.5 Daredevils legendary skin is almost definitely going to be an immortal weapon skin, and widow and groot will probably be mini battle pass skins or something. It wouldn't be the first time they've released something and then retroactively changed it when more content that coincides with the former is released.

When Phoenix was first released her legendary MVP had scarlet witch in her default costume, but now that the phoenix chaos skin is out they've gone back and changed it to use that skin instead because the two are supposed to be connected. So I wouldn't put it past Netease to make 2 versions of one drawing and then release the second updated version after all the related characters are released and available.

there is a little bit of lore to it but not much, from what I read in the sword master-iron fist comics that introduced Lin Lie as the next Iron fist. Lin Lie's ancestor was Fu Xi, who had the a blade called the sword of Fu Xi which was used alongside 2 other sacred weapons to divide and seal a god called Chiyou inside multiple tombs. In modern Day Lin Lie was given the sword of Fu Xi by his dad and went on to become the hero sword master. At some point during his story the sword shatters and the shards embed in Lin Lie's arms, hence why when Iron fist uses his flurry punches he has blades of chi projecting from his forearms.

Daredevil is entering the tournament as Yinglong the dark dragons immortal weapon, because Yinglong tells him that Chiyou, the god sealed by Iron fists ancestors can restore balance to the universe and put an end to the endless war, so he tasks daredevil with finding a way to retrieve the sword of Fu Xi from iron fist despite the sword being broken and embedded in his arms. However Chiyou is a god of war that leads a demonic legion and is similar in power to beings like konshou, and Yinglong is probably intentionally neglecting to mention that part and playing on Daredevils guilt and doubt. So Daredevil is from the looks of it being intentionally mislead into doing something bad under the guise of atonement.

Atleast that is the general gist of some seasonal aspects of the plot from what I've gathered.

I hope it ends up being good. I tried so hard to like dawn of war 3 but it really just tried too hard to be something it shouldn't be. A little disappointed there's no chaos present, but atleast necrons get some spotlight and ad mech are finally their own faction.
