Nostalgia
Re installed this lovely EC once again. I knew it would be nearly impossible to find a game, i knew it. So i stood at my screen, like gordon freeman is waiting in Half life 3 unanounced short movie ( watch it ! ) and was in my thought , remembering all the nice times i had playing Eternal crusade when the population was here, when you could during all day and all night do matchs, over and over, and have that huge fun. This game was great. It needed content, it needed some balance and tweaks, but it was ♥♥♥♥♥♥♥ great. Hopefully, by some miracle, it is possible to enjoy it once more time, anyday.
In the meanwhile, i share with you a couple videos i did make some times ago, that i did re watch out of my nostalgia...

All the best to you all, chaos or loyalists ;) !

Always thought it did not deserve all that bad rep in the end. Yes they ran their mouths with promises ( I never was that much on the forums and so on, just took it for what it was face value) I had a lot of fun. And people preferring to play the old "Space marine" in multiplayer instead of a "supported" newer game did not help...

Because the team pretty much sold the game as "the next planetside" meaning open world and such, if you seen planetside its impressive yes with what they have but I think that was also their biggest flaw by selling the game with such a promise as big as that, planetside ended up becoming this cash grab game where you literally had copies of weapons being sold for real money or even a lot of in-game money which were earned from turning a siege into a grindfest at a defender's spawn and more or less that ended up happening to EC as well, while not on the same level of being a cash grab the evidence is very much there as nothing new as really been added to the game in years as far as I can tell from patches just skin after skin after skin that would all cost RTC to buy. The old players that have X amount of RTC probably aren't gonna notice the cash grab because they already in a sense bought into it long ago.
Edit: also really glad that I at least saw the chainsword for Chaos that applied poison damage was nerfed to only be usable with Nurgle... was WAY too cheap of a tactic to have that on a Slannesh raptor and just spam one button!

Yeah, the supply of multiplayer games are so dense now, there is no way for upstarts to think they can become the next World of Warcraft MMO hit anymore. Let alone a franchise that (used to be atleast) very underground. I take it the slowdown of development also was a result of less income? I mean since EC got free 2 play and all that. Not sure how much people dumped IRL cash in. At that level with an underfunded game, low effort skinns is like the only think making sense if you can not cough up the dev money for substantial stuff. Planetside was fun! I played it for a little while and enjoyed it.

Also splitting the allready not so abundant EC playerbase into locked queue matches by race maybe is not a great way to go either. It must have helped accelerate the increased annoyance from the players spending time queuing for rare matches and hence abandon EC all together. That is why I never thought of reinstalling since I knew I might spend more time waiting than playing. Maybe some kind of bots would have helped seed matches. Better to have 15 LSM vs 15 CSM than 4 orc, 5 eldar, 6 CSM, 8 LSM that never get any matches by themselves in the queue...

Well in regards to the Orks... that's the result of someone who's guild made up the majority of the Ork population going "yeah their not gonna balance my boyz so my boyz are leaving" literally all of the Ork players in that guild all dropped the game maybe except for a select few all because their leader said so, the Eldar well its more or less the same as the Orks but instead of the developers "refusing to balance the faction" it was because of the communities own toxic attitude towards the race as a whole with the never ending "Eldar OP" and trash talking memes that basically made MYST drop the game as well.
