I just honestly want to play tyranids by all the might of the debs may this dream come true plus necromancer just seem a better choice since no one expects the necrons!! And lore wise a tyranid hive fleet can be easily detected its kinda hard to miss a giant fleet of living ships floating around
that isn't the problem. the issue is that Tyranids don't think for themselves, they are all controlled, in the end, by the Hive mind. You cannot translate that into a MMO. this is why they HAVE to be NPC(unless you feel like breaking the lore horrendously, yes there were some or a single case of a tyranid doing his own thing but those are uber rare) for that reason the Necrons would also make for a great NPC race. they hate and fight everyone, and most of their units don't think independently either.
You are more likely to take "flak" from starting two threads that talk about the same thing, over a topic that already exists. http://forum.eternalcrusade.com/threads/tyranids.2413/ (your other thread) http://forum.eternalcrusade.com/threads/tyranid-pve-subforum.956/ (some other thread) http://forum.eternalcrusade.com/threads/tyranids-transformation-from-npc-to-pc.2301/ (some other thread) ...but the poll is ok, don't think anybody used a poll before.
I like nids as an NPC faction. Everyone fights against nids and the sheer numbers help balance stuff out. I'd love to see Necrons be the enemy in another area or something.
Why not something dynamic and the PVE content be versus random alternative races? They've indicated that a lot of the PVE content will be dynamically generated to keep (re)playability high and content fresh. For those of us who actually like PVE, I don't want it always be Tyranids or whatever. Sometimes I want to crush Orks. Sometimes I want to purge heretics of Chaos. Sometimes I want to throat-punch Eldar witches.
There is no Free Will. There is only the Will of the Emperor. Sorry, couldn't resist. Stupid insomnia.
well the hive mind could have been wounded heavily and lost his ability to "fly" and crushed into the planed of EC and digged himself deep into the ground and is now bound to this planet producing endless hords of nids btw i think nids are the only ones who would work with the big numbers of PvE which will be needed for this game i may lie but arent necrons mostly a smaller number just like eldar?
