Simple question, if Behavior Interactive needed more money to expand/finish the game... would you give it to them? Some (Maybe a lot) feel the game was released too early, I will withhold my opinion here. If the game was released too early, would you be one of the people willing to provide money to the devs to finish the game? The basic purpose is to figure out if people believe in the devs enough to give them more money. Personally? I spent $150 on the game, +$35 on the Ferrox Pattern Bolter (Ok THAT was a waste), and I can see myself handing them more money if it was viable to complete the game. I see the game as a Heroes and Generals style multiplayer game (as was mentioned a long time ago), and I have spent almost 150 hours in the game, as recorded by steam. I have a metric of "Games are worth $1 an hour, unless special circumstances apply". So now you kind of know where I come from. So who says they would pay more? and who wouldn't? and of course.. why? Is it because you believe in the devs (for a reason) or you do not believe in the devs (for a reason)? With any luck they will find this feedback useful.... and not soulcrushing... But WHO KNOWS! Welcome to the internet...
As for me, I have been with this since the earliest Alpha and have found a rather remarkable group of devs which... try... In the world of 40k its hard to find a group that seems to try to create an unbiased game that reflects the universe. Yes Chaos was OP, then Space Marines, Then Chaos again, then Eldar, then Eldar and Chaos, then Orkz... Its an asymmetric universe, and an asymmetric game, and its a challenge that the devs have (so far) been constantly trying to make right. I remember the earliest days when I screamed at the devs to be better at telling us patch notes (when we would wait a week, it felt, to figure out what in the warp we were testing) and they changed that. They tried to do right by the community. From that day (I believe a year ago but I can't tell time to save my life these days) to now I have seen nothing but the healthiest level of community feedback fueling the devs, and the unhealthy feedback ignored. The devs earned my trust, I hope they keep it, for now I would say I would give more money if they needed it, because it feels the game released too early.
No, I probably would not give them more money. For a game that was released under pressure by their publisher, entirely to early. This is at best a Beta game that is supposed to be a fully released game. I've seen some early access games that worked better and were more balanced. The Quality Assurance Department needs to release the patch notes the morning of or night before the patch so that the players know and understand what is being changed. We waited, I believe it was 5-6 days before we received the patch notes from launch. The Quality Assurance Department seriously needs to start refusing some of these patches when they are full of bugs. The Customer Service Department is a JOKE. People were waiting for well over a week, until finally someone replyed to their messages and the Developers then finally made a post about it. I could keep going for a while, so I will stop now.
I....wouldn't mind entirely paying some more cash, the game really is a lot of fun. I'm not too worried about balance so long as its lack doesn't glaringly show. Eldar seem to dominate against LSM, but well equipped LSM decimate Eldar, also clans who work together can also decimate them (now you might say 'well what about Eldar clans working together, or who have decent weapons too?', to that I would say stop nitpicking.....)
Im not sure. If I were going to give more, I would want it to be conditional on something concrete (for example open world, unlikely but we can still dream), and also a firm date for delivery of said feature, rather than a vague promise of "at some point in the future".
You guys need to understand that throwing more money into something doesn't automatically make it better. See star citizen/mighty number 9 and etc. new crowdfunded titles.
I would buy dlc if it was something substantial. Like an entire pve campaign. At least 10 maps that are 3 times larger than current ones. And some special loots. Like raid loot in Wow.
Namco deals with bEs monetary issues now, I dont think we'll ever know how their deal goes. I assume that shop is not at least entirely bEs idea as it's not very good PR for them as it is now.
After 150€ spent on what the game should have become, i think i paid my fair share. Rest is now up to Bhvr. I would by some sweet cosmetics if they would release them, and new faction DLC's
