Heheh I can imagine a SM and CSM deal going on: 'Two multi meltas for a crate of combat drugs and one daemonette...err...for research purposes, deal? -Deal brotha, I mean - loyalist scum.'
Ultramarine: "How much is that Thunder Hammer?" World Eater: "That'll be tree fiddy and blood for the blood god"
Hopefully friendly fire is enabled so we can bomb the trade hubs to make people go do something useful instead of spamming chat macros and afking until someone wants to trade something.
Socialising in hubs should be kept to a minimum, I mean, there's an ongoing war for control of the planet, and if half your faction is up in socialtown chatting a bit while others are fighting their b***s off it can be a bit frustrating. I have no objection against a small hub/safe zone where people LFG and meet up with friends to form squad, and configurate their loadouts and make plans, as long as it doesnt take more than 10 minutes. personally I hate those professional geeks you see in each mmorpg that are fulltime grinders and traders.
The devs could implement a mechanism for players who have been idle/out of battle too long: emergency draft. Let's say a player is 1 hour in social hub and seems idle, the mechanism kicks in and a screen pops up: ' A line is about to fall, you have been drafted!' The counter goes from 30 secs to 0, if you click ok, you get transported to the nearest fight, if player is idle and doesnt click he will get logged out and someone else can enter the realm.
Traders/Producers/Economist are fine in other MMORPGS, It simply does not suit this type of game though.
ghehe imagine being aboard a starship and this morale officer is riling up the troops via intercom before going into battle: ' Remember you are warriors, and should you die horribly on the battlefield, know that you died not in vain but for the greater glory of our cause!!! And that..wait...what?..I should inform you that in the backcorner of the atrium the blue powershards are being sold with a 50% discount....'
There should be a dancing section where right in the smack center of a battle field there is a club where all races go. instead of fighting with guns and fire power i wanna see some Rad Moves. imagine a space marine doing the worm while a fucking blood thruster is doing the air guitar. Well the whole point of this is that I would like to be next to a CSM and not crush his skull (ignore my name) and just have a little fun But its understandable if that cant happen.
