New Character Classes Free for Deluxe Edition?!?

[Taco]

for the game to succed past intial release, the game will need to expand. new monster sets, equipment, and town options could be some area to look at. but new character classes and how they are released need to be addressed. it may seem early but with the purchase of the deluxe edition, and all of the DLC being included. having to buy new characters later may be as much of a dilemma as the gold MTs are with initial release.

new character classes? well to refresh my memory I went and looked them up because there were plenty. some better than others, and some maybe not well thought out. but here they are:

Pit Fighter
Warrior Priest
Imperial Noble
Elf Ranger
Dwarf Trollslayer
Chaos Warrior
Wardancer
Witch Hunter
Bretonnian Knight
Ex-Blood Bowl Player
Halfling Thief
Kislevite Shaman
Outlaw
Bounty Hunter

thoughts? what are your feelings on further purchases of DLC if you bought the deluxe edition?
what would you like to see? missing classes from original WHQ you would like to see?

wont happen. games sales are awful thanks to these forum idiots so there is nothing to justify further pc devolopment. they will probley finish anything they have mostly completed now and write off the pc version as a loss and a leasson. so thanks to people throwing a giant fit over a ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ button they didnt need to press the game didnt sell well. the game doesnt even make it difficult to the point where you HAVE to press that gold button. not.♥♥♥♥♥♥♥.once. quick edit: i seriously want my pit fighter in the game i remember that being my favorite class back in the day. edit 2 lol now that i think about it witch hunter, dwarf trollslayer, warrior priest, elf ranger are all in the game already.

As a deluxe owner I wouldn't be against buying dlc pack, 2 or 3 new characters, 2 new areas (with new items drops) and a level cap increase. The price point of this would have to be carefully decided.

I hope they add the other classes but yeah it would likely depend on sales. It is one of the Popular New Release's at least. At any rate you forgot a class from Deathblow 3. The Lord of Aenarion. Elven warrior that is a little more unpredictable than the barbarian. Uses 8 counters 7 of them being benificial adding to stats including attacks that build up over the course of a fight with the last one resetting the counters along with an attack on all adjacent models if I recall. One of the more complex classes to implement I admit.

They brought it upon themselves. Judging by the state the game was released in I seriously doubt they had any plans to develop it further. The whole thing had "cash grab" stamped upon its forehead, as is the case with every...single...lazy...port.

If Chilled Mouse had any intentions of infusing some longevity into this game they completely dropped the ball. Unfortunate, yes, because if they played their cards right they could have had a serious cult title that may have generated income for years, inciting further development. Instead they sold crap to the masses and we might see a couple bug fixes or the occassional DLC that nobody will buy.

I love the game. I don't find it to be a cash-grab, or feel the need to moan about it being a lazy-port.

I love WHQ. The Boardgame is in a cupboard behind me, with expansions and extra characters, and this PC version lets me play the game without clearing off the table and setting the board parts up.

I'd happily buy more characters if they release any (have the Deluxe already).

Multiplayer would be nice, I'd like to see the dice rolling as an option and a few other tweaks, but as it stands it works well.

Bring on more boardgames! Also: Necromunda? GorkaMorka? I'm waiting... ;)

so a button in game that gives you gold for REAL money is a cash grab? a button.. you didnt need to press.. is a cash grab? a game that WAS NOT DESIGNED AROUND THE NEED FOR THAT GOLD BUTTON is a cash grab? HOW. IF THE GAME HAD BEEN MADE WITH THE IDEA THAT YOU CAN NOT PROGRESS WITHOUT GOLD THEN YES IT WOULD BE A CASH GRAB BUT JUST BECAUSE A GAME HAS A BUTTON YOU CAN PRESS DOESNT MEAN YOU HAVE TO PRESS IT NOR DOES IT MEAN THE DEVS DESIGNED THE GAME AROUND THE NEED FOR THAT BUTTON TO BE PRESSED TO PROGRESS AKA PAYWALL.

Of course I'd like it if it were free to deluxe, but I wouldn't mind paying 2 bucks for most of those classes(although the trollslayer just doesn't work right).

[shaseki]

I bought the basic game and awaiting for the button to upgrade to deluxe.... I'm enjoying the game and like all games which are released. I do not write a review until 2-3 months down the track when bugs are ironed out and the developer may or may not listen to their audience.

Continue to update and get me that upgrade button ;)

And you learnt that from whom or what ressource?

[FrostPaw]

I would consider purchasing a new hero or monster/dungeon pack. The price is of course important to the value of the content.

Mainly based on the fact that this game peaked at around page 10 of the best sellers list on Steam.

Not 10th place, PAGE 10.

For reference, Double Dragon Trilogy (a 25 year old arcade experience that can be had for free very easily) sat comfortably on page 2 after it was released. It sold for $6.

[Mersec]

I would like to see the Pit Fighter, Bretonian Knight and Chaos Warrior added. I liked these in the original board game and don't see how it wold be too hard to implement these characters. I have the deluxe version and would pay additional for extra characters and DLC but price would be a factor. Maybe around the $5 mark for a DLC with a couple extra characters would be worth it.

Edit note: spelling mistakes

Don't kid yourself. It's a mobile game. Every single design choice was made by first asking "Will this help make the player press that button?".

On topic:
Only multiplayer could give this type of game longevity. It's the type of game you'd invite a friend to have a quick game of whenever the mood hits, but not really something you'd sit down and play the hell out of whenever new content comes out.

I've played a lot of mobile games that were designed to encourage MTs, this is definitely not one of them.

I have the complete opposite opinion of the game in regards to SP vs MP. I've played WQ a lot, probably nearing a dozen playthroughs. I know from the IOS boards and the awards given out, others shared this view. On the other hand, I just don't see how MP would work. It would take so long to get through a single dungeon that I can't see it being remotely enjoyable.

Are you thinking all that would be in one DLC pack? That would be more like a mini expansion like how Age of Wonders 3 does it for around $12. They do it right.

This company would charge $3 to $5 for each individual thing you just mentioned and not blink an eye. But that's how Game's Workshop has always been so it must be making them money.
