Eternal Crusade MMORPG

Hey Bunnies!


I am really excited about the 40K mmorpg coming from Behaviour Interactive! I bought the Captain package giving me early, early EARLY access to the game! 

I have made my characters and bought some goodies with my Rogue Trader points. I can't wait to get into the meat of developing my characters. I had to use the Ultramarine name I was saving for my Great Crusade captain (because I love it so much) Kalo Rylanus. 

I am also writing a 2500 word short story that I am hoping to submit for the competition! Too be honest I just hope it will be good enough to get to Graham McNeil lol. I will also publish it up here once the competition closes. 

For details on the competition check here: http://forum.eternalcrusade.com/threads/the-descent-to-arkhona-fan-fiction-competition.24503/

I would have preferred it to be set during the Great Crusade but 'oh well!' We can't have everything lol!

Will you be playing the game? Are you excited? How do you think they will address balancing issues?

  1. I'll have to wait and see. It looks pretty gosh awful graphics wise at the moment, and the gameplay similar to Space Marine, which didn't do much for me.

    Yeah, I'd love a game set in the HH. An RPG or RTS in that setting would be the bomb. Sadly I never think it'll happen.

    1. There is a HH RTS coming soon on IOS. It looks pretty poor though lol

      I really enjoyed Space Marine which is why I think I am going to love this lol. I can see why it wasn't massively popular though.

  2. Yeah I did see that as well. If it's just a cheap game on IOS I'll prob check it out though lol.

    I didn't mind it for a zone out game but it felt rather clunky and it could've been so much more.

    I would love a Dawn of War 3 - but who knows if that'll ever happen, and if it'll be any good. GW has rather a hit and miss record when it comes to choosing developers for their games.

    1. Dawn of War was amazing! DoW2 was pretty good too but I didn't like how linear it was compared to the first one. A fusion of the 2 would be something special. I believe the franchise ended as it was seen as a direct competitor for the board game.

  3. Oh I thought DoW 2 blew DoW out of the water. I loved that base building was gone. With a few more maps and balancing for multiplayer it would've been insane beyond insane. A DoW 3 with better graphics and the fixes just mentioned is what I hope for :)

    The franchise ended with 3 being in development by Relic whose publisher was THQ. When THQ went bust, Sega bought Relic, but no-one knows for sure if they got the GW licence. A second space marine was also in development at the time that THQ went bust. Apparently Sega is rumoured to be working on something big, but whether it's DoW 3 is yet to be seen.
