Ok, BIG clarification here. The interpretation of the OP is not correct. Miguel apologizes profusely for the misunderstanding. You do NOT have access to the entire faction as a free Ork. Keeping in mind that this particular element is work in progress, free players have full progression for a limited set of classes (the tactical/assault/heavy equivalents for certain) but only as Boyz - no elite or hero classes such as Nobs or Wyrdboyz. In addition, you have only limited access to vehicle spawning (although of course you will be able to use vehicles spawned by others). Note that there will be microtransaction options to unlock missing elements, should a free player not wish to pay for the full price of the game. There might also be some progression slowdown, although this is TBD and will likely involve your thoughts on the matter. Of course, we would like to leave as many community options open to free players as possible, such as the ability to create squads and strike forces, but the details for this are also TBD. Again, we're sorry for the confusion on this matter. Any further questions, please continue to send them on!
Oh all the basic boyz class and some vehicles? is still more than we belive before the interwiev. Before we was thinking: only a single class called ork boyz.
Thanks Brent. Pretty close to what I assumed actually. I think most of us liked that the Ork boyz would have a complete progression path but I can see how it could be perceived as total access. Still quite good news Edit: Grig-ninja'd !!
Just like I thought only Boyz. makes sense. See it was too vague to be considered as a whole faction. Well then after trail if the game is good Ill be buying the Ork faction. need full access to the Green Skins other wise no fun. Here is to hoping that the free trail is so good enough that I get to buy on the very first day that I play as a F2play Boy.
whats wrong with that? it's something killer instinct did aswell. like buying individual factions, if others don't interest you. saves money.
My suggestion would be one or the other - full tree with slowed progression, or normal progression with a limited tree. Make it too frustrating and the F2P players might throw their hands up and quit before getting really pulled into the game.
That's a bad thing. Its working with games for the casual market, games for smartphones. It even may work with the audience for wh40k, as they are more likely financially more stable to begin with (tabletop is damn expensive). but eternal crusade's gameplay resolves around big factions, many players. its in their interest to win over free2play-orks long-term. that doesn't happen, when you're trying to pressure the player on all ends, so that he feels forced into buying instead of paying gladly. league of legends likely wouldn't have been a success, if they forced their prices onto the players on every opportunity. That stuff becomes annoying very fast
