Will Terminator armour be loot we can get or a "class" we can play ? How will it work, will we have a chance to be Chaos Sorcerer in Terminator Armour or not really... And how will Armour save and Invol save be implemented ?
So far, it has been mentioned that there´s quite the possibility for Terminator armour to become some form of empowered class of itself. Think of a MAX-suit from Planetside 2. And as you level up or gain resources or credits, we´ll get to upgrade our Terminator armour and unlock new or better weaponry. Such as lightning claws! ;> It´ll probably cost resources too to deploy, so you can´t just spam it and dominate forever. Gimme a minute and I´ll try to find a quote for you guys, though bear in mind that nothing said at this point is final, a lot can change in the next two years.
I hope terminator armor is not "loot" as it would be a strange thing to be lying around. I hope they do allow differnt roles to take different armor types because it opens alot more playability options for people to play the way they want. Also with regards to armor save/ invul save mechanic, i wouldn't expect it to make much of an impact I'd agree with Anshar that it would likely just mean you could take alot more hits, but thats likely about it.
From what I've read, it will probably be a resource based class with probably an artificial cap. I.e. you can only deploy so many terminators. My main concern is that some idiot may end up occupying a terminator unit 'slot' and doing completely useless things to the war effort. That said I'm also curious as to how the Hero system will work and whether Hero characters will be directly controlled by players.
in fairness a warlock is a squishy glass cannon, while a terminator is basically a walking battle tank.
