http://mmohuts.com/news/warhammer-40000-eternal-crusade-free-play-transition-interview/ have not read it yet since I dont care, but for anyone interested.
Actually thats a lie, since im sure things like the terminator equivilents were put on the back burner to fast track this, I DO care, and am mad.
See it like this. More Player = More chance to buy RTC's n stuff. More RTC = More money for the devs. And if they use that money for the game, the rest will also follow up quicker. Hopefully...
The issue is that terminators and equivalent require all new animations for pretty much everything. Compare that to say legionnaire of the damned that just requires being on fire and a few other relatively simple bells and whistles and can reuse pretty much all other animations. Still, they probably should have known this ahead of time, it's not like a server and all the backups blew up for an unforeseen delay to terminators. They knew they'd have to make all new animations for terminators for everything from movement, to aiming, to executions, to cover (if they can even use cover) to etc. That they announced it as the first expansion was a mistake.
"Warhammer 40k: Eternal Crusade is quickly growing into the premiere shooter for the Warhammer universe" wait what? that is just bloody sad..
So its not free to waagh!? Thats a shame. Making the game free is great and all but i think renovating some of the core mechanics would attract more players in total, or at least bring back more former players.
Well I hope it works out. I don't think I've ever followed a game that shit has stuck to so much even though it is pretty decent game IMO despite the ups and downs. Hopefully the surge of new players will help shake those poo stains off and not add to them.
"Warhammer 40k: Eternal Crusade is quickly growing into the premiere shooter for the Warhammer universe" Will they be releasing a video of them seductively stroking his balls?... Such a massive disappointment... I don't think I'll ever bother with another game that has bE, Bandai Namco or Nathan Richardsson attached to it ever again, this "adventure" has literally made my hate all 3 of those names. 6 months to go F2P, it's just sad.
What’s your favorite faction, and why is it the Eldar? Hahahaha, getting into the factional wars of the development team is never a good idea I’m a Blood Angel myself, the red colors, the gold and the rage fit me quite well. Eldar, Orks and Chaos are all well-presented so the idea that there is one favoritism by the entire team, every patch, is quite amusing. Everybody loves to tell me how we nerfed their faction. So I guess I’ve been nerfing factions for two years now! ______________ I laughed and cried at the same time.
