Eternal Crusade no longer downloadable from Steam? Make it f2p again at least till 9-10.
Why is Eternal Crusade no longer downloadable/add-able from Steam?

I found a few days ago when I convinced a friend to help me kill some nids and let him experience crawling in the skin of the Eldar (but could just as well be Ork/Chaos Space Marine) while it lasted. Sadly he couldn't add it and then I discovered it.

->I know you picked your game to support, I am in disagreement. Yet at least put it back f2p so we warhammer 40k fans can have fun with our friends while it lasts.
This is the least you can do.


Also I strongly suggest, especially keeping in mind you had backers pay big money to make this game, to at least allow people to host private/public/lan games. Or just hand over the game to the modders who care about this idea and take care of it.
It could become something great and will gain you some desperately needed respect back.
People supported you, believed in you, paid big money, the least you can do is give some assets so the idea they supported has at least the slightest chance to flourish again.
There is nothing to lose from doing this, only to gain.


[TLDR]
But most importantly, let it go out with a bang, allow us to invite others to the game so we can have some bigger matches or fun coop instead of letting it die like this.

Oh I'll try that out, thanks for the answer!

Can confirm this method does not work anymore. Game works fine, you just can't get it anymore if you don't have it installed. Sadly this means we cannot invite friends anymore either.
Kind of a sucky end.

So again, request to reactivate the f2p or game download as a whole. It is weird there is still currency which can be bought in game while the game is running at its end anyway.

Theres a "install" in the top right. I've had to get the free DLC's for Dying Light by this method, as the Store page is Geolocked on german Steam. Maybe this way?
The Devolpera lie form Minute one....i played this in the realy realy early stages...forgoett this ♥♥♥♥ Game.....i hope one day there comes a Warhammer MMO like WoW....RIP Dark MIllenium.....
Dark Millenium was too good for this world.

Thank you, am going to suggest trying this method to a few of my friends. :)
Sadly I got word that this method doesn't work either. I'll try it on another computer tomorrow but it appears they ditched the game even before shutting down the servers.

I would gladly be proven wrong.

Meanwhile I did enjoy a few team-ups beside Tyranid-herding with my swooping hawk and dire avenger.

Reached level 4 yet advanced armor can not yet be bought with those points. Am I missing something, perhaps unlocking all the other lower skills..
Also, is in pve melee viable?
This Studio sure is.... avantgarde. I wouldnt be surprised after all that happened before, that this is not coincidence. Gotta contact a friend and shred into this. - IBTL!

Looking at Eldar Advancements rn. Been a while, but Swooping Hawk and DA Advanced Armor are connected to Twin Linked Avenger Shuriken Catapult Mastery/Resilient Spirit Stone and Sunrifle/Hawks Talon. Need to unlock both of each of those to unlock respective Class Advanced Armor.

As far as i observed, the most useful Assault Class is the Space Marines one. I've observed GA's go ahead, with their shield pulled up to pull the nids into a corner of the room, with the back against the Wall, and the Shield up. Whenever the yellow Armor bar was fully charged, they dropped the Shield, hit 1 or 2 Nids and then Shield again to regenerate Armor Bar. Powerfist Strong Attack is good against Warriors.

Other melee, thats more silly than useful would be to Poison the Warrior to death. Did a few times as Apothecary. Lots of kiting and Target bouncing. (Never had the chance to try Heat Ailment Melee Weaps on this one.)

Personally, i like to kite Warriors. Easiest way to draw aggro is to clang them twice in melee and then have them chase you in circles around 1 pillar. Not recommended as a Devastator. If its a ranged Warrior, playing around wonky Terrain helps a lot. Can make it position itself so it keeps shooting into walls, while you fire at it from a different angle.

Hope this helps, somehow. Will edit if anything else comes to mind.

Edit1: Just took a look at the EC Store Page. DLC Packs been removed, just like the RTC purchase option. If they really pulled these from Store, possibly only Chance left is buying a Steam Gift/Game Key from a 3rd Party Merchant.

Edit2: Makes me regret I've given away my Squadron Edition Gift. I've been to a Group that been trading with removed-from-Store-Games. Once seen a Warhammer Online: Age of Reckoning Steam Gift for ~1500€.

Thank you so much Skullface, that is very helpful. Can confirm you are right, just unlocked twin-linked at the dire avenger and it unlocked, guess the same goes for swooping hawk.

So Space Marines have a chance at meleeing the tyrannids? That sounds pretty cool, just sit at a corner and throw the shield up when the yellow bar goes down?
Wonder if there is something similar possible with Banshee or Scorpion classes.
Will keep your tactics of kiting in mind.

But yes, sadly it is gone from the store and various links haven't worked either. Wonder if it is even possible to redownload/reinstall. Though I wouldn't suggest doing that to any who own and have it installed.

But 1500 euro? That is quite an amount. Not sure if that will happen with this game unless they will allow private servers or something like it.

Thanks again for your detailed answer, that is real awesome.
Warhammer Online was Unique, and is officially gone since 2013. Just like many of the old Lord of the Rings Titles by EA, that disappeared when they lost the License. When it comes to "Collectors Value", you are off safe boundaries at times. I'm in that boat when it comes to the old early 2000's Battlefield 2. It was once sold on Steam, but not anymore. I've got a Box copy, but the Key wont activate on Steam. And damn, would i love to get that onto my Account.

It depends on which Tyranids you ask. I'm only playing Lair Runs, as i find those more interesting. :D - Tyranid Lair - Hard Mode - 1 to 2 out of 20 runs used to be a success. Sure its just PvE. And you need those Lair Mode Commedations for MVP Achievement. Theres no 15 Commendations in only regular Battle :D
In Lair, the Spawns per pool are limited, and its possible to clear out Areas. Thats when i observed this. Powerfist 1-Shots the smaller Nids in Normal Mode, cant recall rn if it also did in Hard.

The Storm Shield can take quite some punishment. (I'm that type of Havoc that keeps shooting, till it breaks.) And if you can theoretically take 2-3 Powerfist swings, before losing too much HP, in a Corner where only 1-2 Nids can hit you at once, yes, this works for Lair.

The only other Faction that can go with an alike Build for Assault is the... (dont axe me) Slugga boy. Orks get that 'uge Metul Plat' thing. And then can go either with Power Claw, Ghostcleaver (gotta look into it, think it were 30% Lifesteal), or a Special Claw (think it were like... 80% Lifesteal from Vehicles, dont know if it Applies to Warriors)

Howling Banshee and Scorp get no Shields.
Scorps Shield is his cloaking thing. Scorpion with Poison Sword is probably intended Eldar way of Tyranids, as Melta Weapons aside of Melta Charge are SO useless against Tyranids. Fire Dragon is like... worst armed Class for PvE. :D
Howling Banshee can stack a lot of Endurance for additional Rolls, and you have that Supressing Scream when you keep Taunt pressed. Think there also was a Lifesteal Wargear off the Weapon for them.

Edits to come, after checking EC.

I'll hurl a Curse at someone, and purchase a Squadron Edition to Gift, and see if you can at least install it then.

Edit 1:
Slugga Boy - Power Converta - Special Power Claw - Hull Lifesteal 40%
Sluga Boy - Ghost Choppa - 40% Lifesteal
Howling Banshee - Retributive Spirit Stone - Wargear 1 - Melee Lifesteal +0.2, +25HP
(How exactly +0.2 scales is up to Question, but if its 0.2 of 1, its 20%)

Edit 2:
Needing someone to back this up, but i think there was a Patch years ago, that increased the Damage if you Attack the Target from behind. That always been my best experiences with Eldar. Whenever i seen a Striking Scorp break out of Stealth and keep a Guy busy, i tried to Heavy into that from behind. Venerable Power Sword with Shock Field and Lifesteal. Usually, if Eldar Strong Attack from behind in a Match - dead. Or "can finish off with pistol" State.
