Do people really want to see Robotic necrons RUNNING around/jumping/trolling around the universe? Would look stupid and wouldn't fit at all IMO. They are supposed to be slow-moving death machines, not jumpy jumpy shooty shooty player controlled skeletons. All the above choices suck IMO. Don't like any of them. If i had to pick it would be Dark Elder because they are relatively mortal in comparison to Tau and Necrons. I imagine Tau/Necron players would expect to have everything and lose nothing being the most technologically advanced/hardest to kill.
When I voted for Necrons it was more for them just to be in the game, like the nids. I never mentioned that in my post right enough. It would be pretty dumb seeing Necrons running around I agree. But as an AI enemy I think it would be awesome.
This will happen to all factions. You'll see space marine veterans screaming about memes in chat and doing all kinds of dumb things as well. It's a game, it's expected. I mostly want to see Sisters of Battle in the game but they're very unlikely considering GW barely supports them. So either Necrons or Tau would be fine with me Dark eldar are just really dull, I hope they don't get added for a long time.
with the popularity of the necrons i must say their lumbering characteristic and generally sluggish movement would really get annoying, surely other races such as eldar could just wizz around them =P
That much is obvious. However, Necrons characteristics do not lend themselves to player control at all. I would love to see them as a very strong AI faction. This whole 'vote for a 5th faction' screams alarm bells to me any way, unless it is purely for AI purposes? Are they seriously intending to code, program, skin, animate, design etc a whole new factional experience within a year based on the outcome of a forum vote? Surely not.
I thought the vote was just for which faction they were going to add in the future, not for the launch of the game At least I hope so
