Help for a new player
Hello,
I am a new player and i been in love with Warhammer 40k for a while now. I was wondering, what beginner guides would you guys recommend, what builds, and what hours would be the best time to play (Live on east coast of USA). I preferably would like to play the space marines or the chaos space marines? I have tried this game and played it for a bit but got confused and stopped but I want to give it another try so just looking for help? Also are there guilds or something of that sort that I can play so I can queue with people as well or where would I find them?
Thank you very much for your time

Start with a healing class and stick to your squad.
It really comes down to your prefered Playstyle. Eternal Crusade is about working together as a team, playing the objectives. Its about developing an instinctive synergy with internet randoms.

Of course there is people excelling at roles they choose to main, or even generally excel at playing shooters.

I've kinda settled for Heal & Support, with the occasional day of focusing heavy weapons.
Others have settled at Melee or Jump Assault play. Theres great Tacticals aswell. Its all about turning the different specialities into 1 rampant force of combined arms.

I find myself at times in matches where i feel like most people are just busy running around solo, trying to "duel" people in matches garrison style. Welp. Matter of choice.
At other times i find myself following around a competent lead, on which the players also tend to flock around and work actually together as intended, forming proper lines of fire, engaging melee only if they come too close to the firing line and to protect heals. Grenades going off left and right, as the squad advances. Glorious days those are.

For the Match times of NA, cant help out with that - central europe here.

Edit1: Sorry, Match was starting. Just know this: be prepared to lose your sanity playing an Apothecary. no one will ever wait for you to inject them, be it if they need it or not. Not to forget the Buffs the different Vials grant, which are what turns Space Marines OP.

Thank you so much for your answers, and I was thinking of playing apothecary classes because i do enjoy playing the support/healer classes, any guides or people to watch to improve in the game also?

Awesome, thank you so much, really appreciate it, also in europe what are the good times to play?
for me, east coast time difference is -6h. On my timezone, matches tend to start around 1700 (5pm), sometimes earlier, sometimes later. Somedays, when i get up at 0600 (6am) before work, i can still catch some of the last matches of that day/night. Local time as of writing this is 1142 (1142am)
Its all preference for me. I tried doing melee and was not that good. I healed as a sorcerer for Chaos and kind of learned the mechanics of gameplay that way. Playing an apothecary on Space Marines might be a little frustrating as a new player. You can never be wrong just playing tactical with a bolter too. Tactical marines are the only ones that can cap a point, so they are just as important as being a healer. Also, investing my advancement points on lowering the LP cost of my weapons helped a lot. Now I can equip more gear.

Ok I am staring to feel like i am slow or something haha, can you explain exactly how you queue for the battles? Like do you just go to battle now or go to map and then choose and do you try only one server or switch between them?
Both servers. If you have the option, go directly through the Map and que on the pairing you wish to play.

If the Map Bugs, go back and look at the Map again.
I've had the issue for a while already. It doesnt display Matches on the Map, clicking "Join Fight" doesnt react, then i click back, get the loading wheel, and upon looking at the map again, it works*.

Else than that its Battle Now, but you have to be lucky on that one. Battle Now used to work very well, when there was more Matches happening.

Usually youll see a marker pointing down on where the battle is. If you see a marker, a game is going. If you dont, then you might have to try back in an hour.
If you join our community discord, they give announcements on when those games are taking place

Ok great, sorry not very familiar with discord, how do i join that community? And is it ok for a brand new player like me to join?
No worries man. Just click to add a new channel on discord then copy and paste this link https://discord.gg/SeGqqXR into the textbox.

Yupp theres plenty of information to read and if you have any questions, youll get them answered quicker on there. Very new player friendly.
