Warhammer 3 Feels Like Abandonware

[Bendak]

Pushing out one mediocre, small hotfix once every four months is just not enough. The bugs list in this game is astronomical; CA obviously doesn't care enough to support this game anymore. Look at WH1/2 - CA had regular fixes. Now, with WH3, they're obviously in maintenance mode. The "hotfix" patches are nearly completely untested, introducing a slew of other bugs.

Makes me sad that Creative Assembly is going full abandonware on this series.

[Mazisky]

It is not abandonware since they have lot of content planned, it is more likely that the team in charge of bugfixing is too small to handle this game.

3.0 (chaos dwarves) came out April 13th.

3.1 came out May 25th

We have a road map for this year and next.

They just did an interview with a website where they flat out said they have years of content planned.

Would you like daily status reports on dev activities to feel better?

[SpeaksTooFast]

Weak bait, I'm amazed it already earned you a jester.

Must be a volound fan

No clowns for you from me

[pistalpug]

umm the fact that their are so many issues and bugs I can see why people would think this way.

Where are the hotfixes for the bugs they made when the last dlc was released white knights? No info on that just tumble weeds blowing around , so don't be an ass. I can see how people would feel that way.

CA is dropping the ball big time...

I demand hourly reports directly addressed to me. I want to know what they are doing, what they are eating, how many hours they are sleeping, every single detail about everything. If I don't get my report, I'll have no other option but to declare that this game is an abandonware.



Seriously, though. Idk why people love to use hyperbole so much. People will take you a lot more seriously if you stick to the facts. Patch 3.1 had too many issues, this is happening too often, there's no word on a hotfix yet, and there's a sense that CA doesn't have enough people to give the kind of support this game requires. However, they are about to announce the second of three DLCs that we are getting this year; they are updating at least 3 races (Tzeentch, Cathay and Kislev) now, and at least another 3 by the end of the year (Nurgle, Empire and Dwarfs); they are improving settlement battles, adding IE achievements on patch 4.0, and improving the AI - player bias, specifically, as they teased some time ago - so, is this an abandonware? No. Does it have issues that CA needs to address ASAP, and that we should keep calling them out on it? Absolutely. Is OP being dramatic by calling it abandonware? Yes, a lot.

Keep in mind that the 2 devs interviewed really have no say in whether the plug gets pulled or not.

A couple things, 3k dev ended after they talked about a specific DLC and was preceded by a long period without a patch with a mountain of outstanding bugs. The roadmap will take us through about 2 years, maybe plus a couple months. 3K ended development at the 2 year mark. Maybe 2.5?

Also, As far as I know, it sold more copies than WH3.

It seems your memory is a bit cloudy... since i for sure remember how we had some of the bugs and crashes in TW:2 for month before they got fixed ( for example the eco-building-bug for DE after the first DLC or the battle-load-in-crashes after TK ).

In fact i would go as far as to claim that taking their time with fixing bugs/crashes has always been a hallmark of TW-Games.

Yes, but the list for WH3 is longer than any I can remember except for that period in 3k. Well, Rome 2 had some issues at the beginning.

Sure but 3 Kingdoms ended because no one was buying dlc whereas warhammer dlc is gobbled up like hot cakes.

[dulany67]

The dlc plan was poor. But I'm not sure how they sold at first.

We just got Chorfs 2 months ago, calm your tits lmao.
May 25th we got a patch + Harald.
You'll survive not getting a patch every week, sheesh.

WH3 =/= 3K

They're two completely different projects, and what happened to 3K (They cancelled future DLCs in favor of a sequel) can't happen to WH3. There's no WH4 coming. Either CA capitalize on IE now or this is it, they lost their opportunity. Comparing both games to argue that WH3 might be abandoned makes zero sense. As long as WH3 DLCs are still selling enough to justify its cost, they won't drop it that easily.

This is a low effort troll post. With demand for jesters at an all-time high and supply low, I recommend we pass on this one.
