I know its Games Workshop

Thank you for having the absolutely dogwater idea of giving us a co-op mode but forcing everyone to all have the same DLC and unlocks or disable it all.

God forbid you heathens actually have a shred of humanity.

That's pretty common - remember StarCraft?

AFAIK cosmetic dlcs are shared by the host so it's only one dlc you are talking about and I see no reason for you to be able to play huge story dlc without buying it. For some reason a lot of people think like you and I don't see where this idea is coming from. The dlc is not very expensive for the content it provides and is worth every cent you spend on it

[Roknar]

You mean like almost every DLC ever made?

One very good DLC that anyone who owns the base game really should get (particularly when its season pass is on sale and cheaper than the lone DLC, thus netting you the next one in spring aswell)

Although here is a wierd one for you. I started the co-op game with a friend. He has a couple of cosmetic DLC things I do not. At some point, the game desynced hard enough that my game needed to be shut down and restarted, but his stayed up, so he saved the game, and we continued from his save. However, from that point on, the save now considered him to be the creator with the DLCs, and even if I saved the game in the co-op, I could no longer use them as I was missing the cosmetic DLC.

If you like the basegame then you should prioritize getting the DLC. It really is great. If you like the base game, I feel confident that you will not regret getting the DLC.

my main issues are as following:
- it forces the host to not use their DLC because they want to play with someone who doesn't have it
- it seems to cause a lot of sync errors. I had a game where the host disabled the DLC, then got the DLC myself - and we started experiencing a lot of desyncs. Maybe oit was incidental, but it felt connected
- it often doesn't undercut a company if they release the DLC in limited mode for those who get hosted

To expand on my last point: While Starcraft, for example, used to requre the DLC - they scrapped that (pretty fast IIRC). But the main advantage of the DLC was still 'locked' behind it - the story.
The same is actually true for RT. If you aren't the host, you can only influence decisions. You can't go and do what you want. So, to have true freedom to experience, you would need to get the DLC and play SP or host yourself.
Having the DLC in such a limited way could give the player an insight into what they can expect. And since this DLC is truly good, chances are, they see the DLC and say 'yeah, I want to experience that myself!' and get the DLC.

As a sidenote: As I already mentioned, I did get the DLC pretty fast, since I liked the game. So, in my case, it only neutered one run we basically needed to scrap right again (somewhere act 2), since we both wanted to have the DLC content included.

3D print your models, buy recasts, pirate the rules. Never give GW even a single penny.

Great way to ruin life for all - as doing this will impose more restrictions. Like every crime does.

Nah, only for GW. All the best Warhammer stuff is third party anyway. The biggest thing holding Warhammer back is GW. Let 'em burn. They can't restrict my 3D printers.

Just buy the damn DLC if you want to see the content in it so much. You don't deserve it for free.

[Bucher]

btw. all the abhumans in the comments telling me to buy the DLC. I own the DLC. The entire co-op is awful. Not being able to host cause a friend doesn't have the DLC is goofy. Normal well adjusted people above not trying to suck the paint of GWs figurines have already said that sharing a DLC isn't uncommon. Tons of games allow the host to let a person play with them. The people bringing up a 26 year old game as the example of a game that doesn't is pathetic.

why do you think its a GW decision? and its not goofy. why would they give you access to paid content for free?
