Sweet memories...
To the surprise of absolutely no one at launch this virtual scam hit the ground running setting the tone for the rest of its virtual lifetime:

------------------

"BUYER BEWARE":

MASSIVELY OP - http://massivelyop.com/2016/10/05/launch-impressions-of-warhammer-40000-eternal-crusade-part-two/

"The idea that someone, presumably a person in a position of authority within the studio — or publisher, as the case may be — took even a cursory look at the current state of Eternal Crusade and said, “Yeah, that’s ready for launch,” is frankly inconceivable."

"Calling the state of the current game 'rough' is akin to saying that a forest fire is a just a bit toasty."

ANGRYJOE - https://www.twitch.tv/angryjoeshow/v/91400775 Start at 53 minutes in. Covers a lot of what is not there, the state of the game, game mechanics and the ingame store.

In the words of joe - " I love this game, I love this concept, but what has been done here is contempt, its contemptible"

"It is so barebones"

MMORPG - http://www.mmorpg.com/warhammer-40k-eternal-crusade/reviews/the-incomplete-crusade-1000000459

"They say in the future there is only war. If Eternal Crusade is the future then god emperor on the golden throne help us all because we are doomed."

"No if, ands, or buts about it. This just isn’t a finished game."

"$49.99 for this is about 5 times what is should cost."

(YouTube Video: The Co-Optional Podcast Ep. - September 29th, 2016)

"Its so lazy and dull I cant even summon up criticism for it"

"Its just a really boring 3rd person shooter with warhammer characters in it"

--------------------------------

For six months I waited for the apology and the robust plan going forward following all the community manager posts/social media. Hope slowly faded:

From review after launch:

"No doubt confidence in the release quality of the title was low hence the short sighted high price grab. This view is only strengthened by the low level of communication on the official forums/steam to quell the uproar over this release. No information or comments have been made by the devs or community manager in direct relation to the abyssmal launch state and the many questions raised as a result in the official forums/steam since launch, as many players have commented on. And so paying customers can only speculate."

There was clearly an absolute lockdown on steam and the official forums from the devs and community manager.

It soon became very clear 2 things would happen:

"Re-Review: 26/12/1016

I think fairly that at this point in time since launch two things have become fairly obvious:

1. The game will not change drastically or meaningfully in the future. Changes have come at a glacial pace and are predominantly fluff.

It is pretty much the same as the pre release alpha. The "3" declared content patches "before years end" ended up being one with it consisting of cosmetic changes and bugfixes. So that is a couple of maps, bug fixes and cosmetic items since launch. The campaign system has not been released. (8+ delays according to some) Now some would say why even give a deadline if they never keep them, my answer would be, that has been the "default" answer for refuting complaints and questions about barebones development and upcoming content since launch.

There is obviously some kind of problem going on that is not known to the public. No doubt it will be aired later. Lack of personnel? Ability? Hands tied by publisher? Focused on console release while pc is given lip service? We can only speculate at this point.

2. It will eventually go f2p."

until...

"Update 22/01/17 - The "Non"Campaigns are now in. Win ten matches, get some rtc points. (See point 1)
f2p now confirmed as being worked on. (point 2)"

A total moneygrab from start to finish with a clear idea where it was always heading
and so I welcome you to your new and deserved home among the worst of the worst:

I do not normally post and this outcome was on the cards from launch but you struck a nerve with this game from start to finish and so may I say a big FU from the bottom of my warhammer loving heart.

Tldr - Bugger off.
