I reckon that some of the lore may benefit from a little tweaking for balancing issues but certain things such as introducing new weapons like the vengeance launcher from space marine or giving every assault the ability to use a thunder hammer should be kept out and avoided like the fucking plague.
Agree with you fu22y666. Even if it means to limit the peoples choices by making certain that they can't roll something JUST because of its appearance and expect the same as with another race/class. This kind of had been the hardest part in every MMO I played up 'till now.
I am torn on the one hand i dont want them to change anything and stick to what has been done but on the other hand i understand that you need to tweak somethings to make the game work, but either way jaust as long as your an assault marine or a vanguard veteran theres a difference in the equipment that your alwoed to take and that it is merely cosmetic changes and nothing too major lore wise to make the game viable and workable.
I want the game as close to the lore as possible without sacrificing gameplay. This is a videogame and it's success depends entirely on how much fun it is, and how accessible it is. If it goes so far as to make the lore perfect, it may sacrifice a lot of the competition involved. Plus, we're at a point where changing the lore in some ways may be beneficial, as an artistic license was taken with all of the lore that we read in the black library and love.
All this really depends on what the Devs will be doing... but a good balance between Gameplay and Lore would be definetly good! Personally, it would be nice to see them not go stray too far from the Lore, I am not a purist... but there is a limit to how far one can go, you know?
So as of now it's pretty overwhelming in the "keep it close to true" camp, followed surprisingly by the "purist" camp. I think the purist route is pretty much impossible. I have to believe there will be some sort of economy for buying/selling/trading unusable gear. And it better not be real money. I would also like to see some sort of crafting system.
Crafting would be interesting. The closest thing I could see happening is gathering materials etc. and then visiting a mek/techmarine/Wraithbone-singer-person/evil-chaosy-builder-guy and having them created whatever it is that you want.
