REALLY? Laggy, terrible melee. HOW can you not get the stormboy right? Its a friggin skin swap? Why is he so sluggish? Marines leap waaaaaaaaaaaaay farther forward with their swings, when we swing its like we are just putting our arm in front of us to swat a fly. Eldar can literally just backup. Thats it. Backup and shoot us if they dont think they can win a fight. With the unquestionably worst beginner gear, harkus has become a joke. And I dont mean fighting heavy bolters on the wall with heavy bolters on the ground joke, I mean like a zero ork kill match where we cant even down the quad guns and the ordinance vehicle dies in 2 seconds from bolters joke. You cannot for one second think this is anywhere good enough balance wise to call "launch ready" I dont care how much you want to compare it to flipping a light switch. Game reviewers will tear you a new asshole, and people will be refunding day one hour one. This is alpha levels of incomplete, that someone slapped a done sticker on and pushed out the door. This is aliens: colonial marines levels of terrible.
Never say never. What is truly burning my bisquits about Orks right now is our parrying blow compared to marines. If you try to roll away from theirs right now you get kicked in the face anyway. Ours though? That puny headbutt is so easy to dodge it's laughable. So much for melee superiority.
Considering that it does feel pay to win because for a few RTP you can buy a plasma deffgun and a zzap gun to help a bit. and that's silly. there is also the fact we never got to try the deff kannon, power klaw and shield, and now it's on live, but we can't grind fast enough to get it (well at least, I get tired of playing before but I'm currently unemployed so I can play every day and even I can tell I won't unlock more than 1 weapon before the next wipe so I have to choose which one I want to test). However they are forced to release. They can't delay. So I guess for all it's worth it's going to be imbalanced at launch and, hopefully, will see fixes in the coming weeks. Hope this will be enough. right now I am having zero fun. I don,t even try to win, I just try to farm to test but I can't do that either because everything is too costly. In the questions for twitch I asked what was the plan to rebalance factions and maps because of the absymal win ratio of attackers on most maps according to their very own stats. I hope they have a plan, because the current state of the crusade is: it's not fun to play anymore.
Orks have been kicking CSM's arses lately just as much as we have been kicking theirs and we are supposed to be cream of the crop. I'd say give it more time. EDIT: Wait sorry. I didn't even realise the new update was out yet. I'm just waiting for it to DL and jeez I hope whats being said isn't as bad as seems.
This is indeed what is happening, but if I were to take an educated guess the blame probably does not fall on bE. The blame probably falls on Namco Bandai, for giving bE an ultimatum to officially announce the game as "done" by such and such date, even if it clearly isn't
I already have the RTC version. I bought it and got it live. I haven't bought the base one in game. Not enough time to grind for it.
