Warhammer 40.000: Eternal Crusade Column: Speculating on the Orks

In our latest Warhammer University class, we offer some thoughts about the Orks and how important getting them right will be to the success of Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade. See why we think it's so crucial before leaving your thoughts in the comments.

Behaviour Interactive's Eternal Crusade team continued their updates last week with some announcements about the factions and more importantly the Space Marine Chapters that will be playable. I was very excited to finally see Space Wolves as an option. But before we drill down into the faction breakdowns and what units or classes will be available, I wanted to talk about Orks. So far all we know about Orks in Eternal Crusade is that the Boyz will be free-to-play and their will be a Nob upgrade pack. So let's go through what we know and take a look at how the team at Behaviour can make Orks as much fun as they are on the tabletop.

Free-to-Play Boyz
Say what you want about the F2P Boyz idea, but this a solid choice by the developers in my book. There are always a mass number of Ork Boyz. If you can choose between sluggas and choppas or shootas, then this free aspect of the game will be great fun. It may take five or so orks to bring down a marine, but that tactic with the Nobz wreaking havoc on the field will be awesome to watch.  I can see players fully using a swarm technique with Ork Boyz to achieve objectives.

Nobz
Ok so these are the big guys, the grunts, the unkillable machines with power claws, bikes, and Cybork parts. These Orks will be rough, especially if they are given vehicles to parade around with. Fast moving hit squads which will really be strong in melee. What is their weakness? Shooting. Here is the issue with shooting, how do you hinder a physical player’s ability to shoot? The orks have always been bad shots. But in a game that relies heavily on target combat, how do you make an ork player worse than say a marine player? This is a hurdle the team at Behavior will have to tackle. Perhaps the targeting interface is more jumpy, or not as direct? Perhaps you have a shorter range on your weapons, or just plain old making their guns less powerful?
Nobz on the assault should be brutal. There is no question here, depending on upgrades and weapon choices. It will be great to watch a Nob with a power claw go after a Marine with a power fist. This is where the Nobz should really be set apart from the F2P Boyz.

Lootas, Meks, Weirdboyz, and the Other Stuff
The Ork army has some very colorful units on the board.  Lootas are very popular in terms of shooting and their massive guns would make for some great upgrades and character designs. Keeping on this idea, Meks need to play an important role on the field. I could definitely see them as some kind of support class having tools like a Kustom Force Field and the ability to repair vehicles would put them in a unique role. Also, Weirdboyz should make an appearance. The idea of psychotic ork wizards blowing their heads up is critical to the insanity at the core of the army. If they put spells in from Gork and Mork, it would just be icing on the cake. My guess on the other classes would be a mirror to some of the Space Marine troops: so likely Storm Boyz and either Lootas or Flashgitz for shooting. I look at the inclusion of all these units as pure gravy.

The real power from Orks comes in the unpredictable. Non-40K players view them as green monkeys with guns. But Orks really do have some very sharp underlying strategies. I guess when it comes down to it, if I can play a Nob and have my own bike and ride around the battlefields causing total havoc it will be the joy to play as an ork. The key to this faction is to be over-the-top and strategic all at the same time. I know the team at Behaviour has some serious tabletop players working at the studio, so here is hoping they can capture the glory of Orks.

Warhammer 40.000: Eternal Crusade Column: The Importance of Eldar

Each of the factions that will be featured in Warhammer 40k: Eternal Crusade is important. In our latest column devoted to the upcoming title, we take a look at the Eldar and why they are crucial to the game. Read on before heading to the comments to chat.
By Garrett Fuller on July 09, 2013

When Eternal Crusade was shown to us at E3 one of the words that stood out was Eldar. See, anytime the words 40K and MMO are used in the same sentence people’s expectations immediately go to what they had heard about Dark Millenium. In the few weeks we have been covering the game I have had to tell people about fifty times that it is not the same game as THQ’s ill-fated attempt. It is not just Chaos, Orks, and Imperium fighting it out on two factions. Every faction is out for itself, and this week I wanted to focus on the Eldar.

The Eldar bring a much-needed fourth faction to the game and one that is steeped in 40K lore. Space Elves, Pansies, or whatever you refer to them as, the Eldar bring some of the most diverse and deadly units to the table top game in 40K. With their new codex hot off the presses, they have been given a solid boost and are now one of the armies to beat. So what does all of this have to do with an MMO? They’re a Xenos race which has no alliances to anyone, sure they might fight alongside Space Marines, but nothing stops them from killing marines after the threat of Orks are defeated. That is what has always made 40K great, all of the armies against each other. This is something that the team at Behaviour Interactive has talked about as well. The Eldar play right into their system. Factions can team up against a great threat, but when that threat is over, it now becomes game for the survivors. Orks and Chaos make sense in some ways, as do Eldar and Imperium, but the core fact remains, they are all against each other.

The Eldar are also an amazing race in terms of their visual appearance. Their sleek weapons and combat styles will be great to see on-screen. If the upgrade pacts include units like Striking Scorpions or Howling Banshees, you will have a huge variety in how your squad is set up. Keep in mind the ten-man squad system and imagine a mix of Eldar coming at you. The mistake that Behavior could make with Eldar is to make them a weaker infantry army than Marines, with some tricks thrown in to make them look good, but have them fall short in combat. Let’s hope they get the Eldar dynamic right: having extreme tech like Warp Spiders, mixed with Rangers for deadly sniper fire, and possibly some melee Scorpions added to the squad. I know this may sound extreme, but think about it for a second. If Marine squads are balanced with long range fire, midrange special weapons, and melee load outs to fight in close, then how do you achieve that with Eldar? A solid mix of the elite troops would make the faction colorful and damn fun to play.

Here is my one request for Eldar: Jetbikes had better be in the game! You have mentioned you are putting in vehicles, so motorcycle riding Marines and Chaos Marines make perfect sense. Not to mention the possibility of an Ork Nob upgrade pack to buy a Bike and making them a Nob Biker (take my money please!). With those options for players, it is impossible to ignore the pure awesome spectacle of the Eldar Jetbikes. I don’t even care if you balance them perfectly, just put them in the damn game and make them great. It is a core element to every Eldar Army out there.
The other thing having Eldar does for Eternal Crusade is open the doors for the other Xenos factions, namely Tau and Necrons. Both of these armies are very popular at the moment and would boost the faction list to six. That is a critical leap Eternal Crusade can make hopefully soon after launch (wishful thinking). If you go based on the past, Space Marine and the defunct Dark Millenium only focused on Orks and Chaos. This way of thinking left out a ton of options in the 40K universe. To me that is the biggest strength in the Eldar faction: options. Having them in the game and watching them do well immediately gives fuel to Behaviour Interactive to begin adding the other factions. Now don’t get me wrong, my first votes for expanded factions would be Space Wolves and the four god-focused Chaos Marines. But those can be wrapped into the Chaos and Imperium factions fairly easily. It is launching armies like the Tau and Necrons which will really tip the scales. Eldar make this a prospect for the future. Let’s hope the devs can follow through on all of it.

So Eldar are important to Eternal Crusade for a number of reasons, I didn’t even mention their other vehicles. From a game standpoint they add a solid fourth faction with no real allegiance. They are extremely diverse and hopefully Behaviour embraces that when they build up the faction. They could be a lot of fun to play if done right.

éternal crusade a écrit:Welcome to the second edition of the Warhammer 40,000: Eternal Crusade newsletter – may it continue for the 24 months to come.

In the last few weeks we’ve been busy answering the countless questions from fans and the press. You can catch up on sites like MMORPG.com or IGN, or check out our AMA on Reddit and the associated twitch.tv stream. Don’t worry about the Inquisition, all heretical content from those interviews has been expunged. To accompany all the Q&A’s we’ve been doing lately,the link to the first version of the official game FAQ has been included with this month’s correspondence.

Of course, alongside spreading the word we’ve been making progress on the game itself! At this time, development has ramped up and we are confident that we’ll be able to show our first gameplay footage in the form of an early combat demo in October and a demonstration of in-engine massive battles by the end of the year. I’m very excited to finally have the opportunity to show the game, and look forward to hearing your reactions!

The recent phase 2 site update focused on two things: Races and Space Marine Chapters. Regarding the first point, these four selections are going to make for an awesome game, but just in case your favorite wasn’t on the list I want to reaffirm our intention to bring more races after launch – with the Emperor’s blessing.

We intend to apply the same philosophy to the rest of the game’s sub-factions, but since we’ve received so many requests for alternative Space Marine Chapters (and one in particular), we’re exploring the possibility of adding an additional group per race for launch, selected by the community. Stay tuned for more details!

Until next month, please keep sending in your questions and trust in the Emperor!
