Is the game open to play right now? Because I am in the endless queue in the moment and I don't know if there are any players!
Yeah there's not many people playing the alpha. Queue time is "ok" at peak times, but overall yes you'll be lucky to get matches consistently. Which is a shame really
I did finally manage to get into a game over the weekend......unfortunately I was left rather underwhelmed . Only managed the one brief game and choose the Terminator Veteran option, so this in no way constitutes a fair reflection of the game but I was left rather disappointed. The game felt slow and the character movement somewhat cumbersome (is this a Terminator/character trait?) Combat was nothing more than just click the mouse. Thunder Hammer hardly felt like it did any damage at all! for such an iconic powerful weapon just felt like I was slowly swinging a stick. I'll try again soon and with different characters to see if my initial view changes. Shame as I really like the concept and enjoyed THQ's Kill Team.
It's a dotalike, Thunder Hammers are not going to be monster mashers unless you build in to that. And you should see the Apothecary's pistol, peashooter 101, even with combat damage items! Terminator is slow from the outset, yes. You also slow down when swinging a weapon or charging up an attack. His RMB attack is, yes, the worst for delay. Terminator works best with a build prioritising health/ability power. All his abilities work off ability power, except the additional stun effect from his RMB, which scales 50% of combat damage - so there's definitely a case for making Combat Damage terminator work. Term is quite good at tank/support. You have a ranged slow and a stun, and can deep strike across the map to aid allies. You also give allies a speed buff when they move towards you, so if ganking with allies, try to initiate with the charge, since getting yourself in first means everyone gets in faster.
