How do you obtain more Warpstone?

[Aspiring Champion]

Have Brutal but haven't played yet (*sigh* too busy with work until the weekend). I don't see anything on Steam store. Do you have to pay in-game, or is it just not possible yet?

[Strayed]

I suggest that at the present moment since we are 'pre-release' the ingame MT store is not operational.

Perhaps after 'retail release' the store might become operational

I do not know and this is purely speculation

You can buy them and supposedly earn them ingame by playing but that is currently not implemented ( from what I saw ) or it is just part of the battlepass which comes in may.

You can buy the currency with real money, or hope to finish one of those 45min games to get a reward, but keep in mind, if it crashes you get nothing, and crashes/freezes are the core of this game.
My advice, don't invest into a game that is likely to be dead on arrival.

Here, something to read about further details of the game:

Things certainly look to be awful for some players right now, but I doubt it will stay that way.

Mainly I'm curious how we pay for more Warpstone (sorry, I should have said "pay" instead of "obtain"). Be it for dress-ups for our digital men, or for a Blood Pass or whatever when we don't have time to grind for free stuff. I am more inclined to buy more if through Steam, and less if external to Steam.

LOL. It's as bad as the worst mobile games for how it wants to bleed you for playing. Don't support people who don't treat you with decency. Support fair and honest business that treats the customers with respect.

Too many companies are just desperate to get addicted paypigs and whales instead of making a good product that sells because it is fun and well designed.

You just move on to another game

It is very likely this will end like Necromunda: Underhive Wars. They will release 2-3 dlc teams (they already have ready, so no additional work on the game is needed) and then abandom the game because no one plays it.

There is no reason to play this game instead of BB2. Without players, an online focused game is doomed to get closed.

It's only online-focused because they keep refusing to implement offline features like a large chunk of their playerbase keep asking for. ;p

They were talking about "BloodPass XP" to be earnable in game. Not "Warptstones" iirc.

Maybe, maybe not? it's such a hot mess, I dont care enough to watch that cringe powerpoint video again.

You already have your answer, now let ppl share their butt hurt here!

To be honest, I'd rather have a game which is constantly supported and further expanded (e.g. new teams, new cosmetics, bugfixes etc.) for years, with the battle pass method (after all, you are not forced to pay for anything and grind yourself through it, if you prefer, or you can ignore it), than getting a game which gets (semi-) abandoned some months after release.

I really loved BB1 and BB2, but both lacked in customization options, in the long run. Right now, BB3 does that even more, but if they can support their game for long enough, it will have (hopefully) way more customization content available, sooner or later.

As long as the rewards in warpstone from playing is not too low (I guess for every 2-3rd round you should be able to buy another SIMPLE item, like a helmet for 75ws, easily, if not more) I am okay with the current model of the shop.
And as long as they do not only release tons of DLCs/cosmetics while completely ignoring crippling bugs or server problems that have been present for years/months (I am looking at you, "Hunt: Showdown" developes/publishers!), I am okay with the battle pass idea.

You can play hotseat. I don't know what other offline features you're hoping for?

The ability to play the game with progression.

There are three main potential ways to do that, and as it stands:

1) The campaign seems bugged (restricted during pre-launch?) to not allow you to earn the Achievement for beating the Dark Elves and move on. So playing Campaign offline is only the same 3 games over and over again.

2) You can play one-off 'Friendly' hotseat matches, but that's it.
The game supports custom tourneys.
The game supports entering multiple of your teams into one tournament.
The game supports hotseat play.
Yet the game does not support using hotseat mode within tournaments.

3) Playing as the only human team in an AI league is doable, but an Online-only feature. As per:

Hello,

You can play solo offline, the campaign is accessible and the progress of the team is recorded.

Competition creation (even with AIs) will not be accessible.

The multiplayer will logically not be accessible as well.

So, yeah, of the three potential ways to progress a team without using multiplayer, none are currently allowed and functional in offline mode.

Though granted it sounds like the fourth kind of progression, actual multiplayer, isn't very functional for a lot of people either, even when they do go online for it.
