The game is progressing, just slowly. Don't expect a lot of content to get pushed through until their big patches, and they are 0/1 on getting those out on time so far. If they can get on a consistent schedule for content and a more moderate approach to how they are handling the balance numbers I will come back to the game.

These are all good points.

Thing is, the devs are TRYING to make the game better. So many people seem to miss that or not care that when you fix one thing in game code, you usually break 5 more and never where you think. Anyone who thinks game code is easy should try it. I did. Never, EVER again.

My first experience as a Founder was Tabula Rasa. Have you heard of that? It failed, but even all the way to the end, it had a dedicated fanbase and devs who were improving things. Its engine was flawed and they had to work on it a lot. That didn't kill the game, backroom politics did. But I learned about being a Founder for games being a gamble from that. (and now, people are trying to revive it but the publishers are being assholes)

Warhammer 40000 is a niche game market. With all of the crap that has been shoved out into the gaming circles by GW in the last few years, many of us despaired of ANY kind of decent 40k shooter after THQ went under. Dark Millennium might have worked but then it tanked. Almost everything since has been crap.

This is not perfect by any stretch of the imagination. It isn't a polished game. It isn't a finished game. I see this game more like Warframe than Deathwing. Deathwing will likely be almost fully realized on launch, since it isn't Ubisoft or EA putting it out. Warframe wasn't and it grew massively in the three years since it went out of closed beta. It may never leave Open Beta because things keep changing.

I HOPE EC leaves the Beta category eventually. It hasn't yet.

The game isn't what it was supposed to be due to it being rushed to release, though bE is attempting to bring it up to what it was supposed to be with an estimated date of Soon. Until then, enjoy your lobby shooter with some 'balance' issues.

The game itself is fun in short bursts of up to an hour or two, but at the moment it's more fun to watch the forums descend into madness because of a comment on a Steam thread.

Don't listen to these self entitled whiners, the game is doing great and everybody can see it clearly. Good job BHVR, good job.

Lag might partially be due to low player numbers. I think server locations depend on where most people play, so if you play somewhere with low player counts, chances are high you will be assigned to a server that's not close to you -> lag.

I love it, i'm not much into computer games but the flavor is all i could ask for. I bought it coz i couldnt wait for space hulk to come out and while it has its problems its a long way from a rubbish product. its the best 40K game to date and its still being improved, once there are more players and the bugs have been worked out should be awesome

I dont really know how much the balance is out of whack, i have played so many games in the last few weeks that have been fought tooth and nail to the last second, that doesnt seem unbalanced to me....maybe its because the main player base now has some experience (in which case its not balance its education issues) or they have got it pretty well nailed

well basically i agree 100% with this.
except up til now i have seen preciously little of the ' supported and handled correctly'.
so on that point im pretty pessimistic.
things like the octoberpatch or rather lack thereof, and despite missing several 'deadlines' or eta's they still continue to keep naming expected eta's etc, dont make me very confident in the devs, they seem to really have some disconnect with most of the community.

it definetely has a future but they better haul ass and start implementing some meaningfulk content soon or it will not recover.

You and a couple others here (who come from ''whiny and entitled threads'' and are complaining like 12 years old for a dev response not even close to what i see every single day in steamforums and this forum) are a perfect example of a good community, positively critic and constructive right? Just to match your sarcasm.

It's a game. Games are supposed to be fun. I currently play the game, but don't have fun. If I don't have fun, I get told to wait until it is fun, I play game to see if fun, I currently play the game, but don't have fun.If I don't have fun, I get told to wait until it is fun, I play game to see if fun, I currently play the game, but don't have fun.If I don't have fun, I get told to wait until it is fun, I play game to see if fun, I currently play the game, but don't have fun.If I don't have fun, I get told to wait until it is fun, I play game to see if fun, I currently play the game, but don't have fun.If I don't have fun, I get told to wait until it is fun, I play game to see if fun, I currently play the game, but don't have fun.
