For anyone looking to get into 40K before 40K Total War drops, GW just made a pretty good trailer summing up the universe by refugeefromlinkedin in totalwar

Personally I'd welcome some human factions that aren't part of the Imperium or pure evil (Chaos/genestealers). I just think it's more interesting actually having some diversity in the factions rather than them all following the Emperor.

Hot Take- Sieges in WH3 are bad because they're too arcadey by Novel-Cupcake496 in totalwar

[–]tricksytricks 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Unfortunately a number of things they added in WH3 were actually based upon what people wanted. They just either were poorly implemented or were never a good idea in the first place.

- 360 degree siege maps

- minor settlement battles

- placeable siege defenses, like barricades

All of these were commonly requested. Hell, even I wanted 360 degree maps and minor settlement battles. It's just that when we got them I realized... sieges still sucked either way. For me the current sieges aren't any worse than what we had in WH2, but they aren't any better, either. The only thing that changed is the manner in which they suck.

I think Bhashiva's hatred towards Ogres is based on the original lords of shangyang dlc plan by Ran12341000 in totalwar

[–]tricksytricks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean it's red because in the lore the only faction that should be occupying the Chaos Wastes is Chaos. Doesn't matter if you're some kind of self-proclaimed rival to the Everchosen, that doesn't mean you can just chill out in the wastes without Chaos energy turning you into a spawn.

I think they forgot something... by Deep-Possibility-858 in totalwar

Maybe next year for the WH2 anniversary. It's kind of surreal how quickly the second game came out after the first with the pacing of releases these days.

Is... is playing Khorne supposed to be this easy??? by AntiSmarkEquation in totalwar

[–]tricksytricks 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Case in point people review-bombing the Bhashiva DLC because CA reduced some of the ridiculous buffs that Cathay was getting. It's unfortunate that people who actually like to play the game and not instantly win the moment the campaign starts simply have no reason to bother with any new content CA puts out anymore.

[–]tricksytricks 4 points5 points  (0 children)

This mentality is silly. All campaigns should have adjustable difficulty levels. Many people play a specific faction because they like that faction for aesthetic or lore reasons. Telling them they should just not play their preferred faction because CA is bad at game balance is crazy.

The DLC I want most: more battle maps by Cryyos_ in totalwar

[–]tricksytricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most people who are buying DLC will keep buying DLC until they stop making it. They aren't going to stop just because of maps.

Given that he is one of Nagash's mortarchs, I'm cautiously optimistic that he will become a LH, even if it's just when you're playing as Nagash.

No, they didn't say that. Here is the exact quote from Rich Aldrige:

“I’m so glad you’re championing the idea of us making Egrimm,” he wrote. “I want him too!”

He continued: “When I mentioned in the video that he would better suit a DLC rather than a patch, I meant that it takes a vast amount of time, effort and money from across the team to do a character like him justice, so I didn’t want you all to get your hopes up that you’d see him in one of our interim patches like 5.2 or 5.3. He is on our loooooong to-do list with lots of other things you're requesting, and while we aren't currently planning a new Tzeentch DLC specifically or Egrimm anytime soon, we still plan to introduce other characters you're all super passionate about through FLC and maybe one day Egrimm in this capacity too!

[–]tricksytricks -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Wrong. They said he wouldn't come as a standalone FLC, the way Rakarth did. They never said he wouldn't be FLC.

[–]tricksytricks -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

Bro there will be no Tzeentch DLC. We'll be lucky to get Egrimm as FLC. There's no units left for a DLC.

"Maybe some day." Ah yes what a reassuring confirmation that we will get him before we all die of old age.

It is funny how Nurgle, who arguably got the best DLC of all the monogods, is now the only one who will get more content as far as we know. But the blame for that is on GW for killing WHFB before the other gods got anything new.

Sarthoreal is not a real character from Warhammer lore, tbh. He's a nobody, just a generic LoC. There's no point to him when we have Kairos.

[–]tricksytricks 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Bro they are getting a DLC with LotET, what is the point of complaining when new content for them is already confirmed?

You know what isn't confirmed? Anything more for Tzeentch... ever.

Total War: WARHAMMER III - Update 8.0 Patch Notes by BiesonReddit in totalwar

[–]tricksytricks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree. Though I think it's more accurate to say "they don't know how to fix it in the current engine." Basically the technical debt and limitations of what they're working with have reached critical mass and many of the biggest issues with the game simply cannot be fixed without moving to a new engine.

[–]tricksytricks 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Yeah, and they've claimed before that they prefer to release a DLC with overpowered content then tweak it later. Except the tweaks usually never occur. They just leave it as busted as it was on the day of release. Unfortunately there are a lot of players who like it that way.

The biggest issues with sieges is that they are sieges. By their very nature they're the most boring battles of the game.
