It is completly irelevant now as they all have new jobs not giving a thought about their "crusaders".

But if you are really interested I joined it during early early access with my husband, not ever as deep as him into discussions but still remember many things, Well right now he is still laughing at last announcement.

So the second leader, mr. Richardson made a really bad impression first time when I saw him. It was one of streams and he walked in some cossplay suit like trying to convince people he is real 40k fan but still stream was just lots of time about few things really interesteing,
As I watched more streams it bacome apparent hard to answer qustions were always ignored and we were constantly being told what is in "pipelines".

As time passed by playing with my husband we really saw how patches were just walking in circles. D-bash constantly not working, balancing MoN were a joke etc.
Then about week or two after on official foum mr. Richardson said they have no releaae date they announced launch. Everybody was screaming "they can`t do it" but they were: "It is ok. we have money for post-launch development and 10 years plan, release on steam is just a flip a switch".

Then they flipped the switch and game was full of placeholders. More promisses were given while people who posted they cannot be trusted were hit by their banhammer.
Then game gone F2p while only thing we got was one content patch (really small one with grav weapons).
When they launched the game on the store page it was being sold by infographic telling us about massive battles, player driven campaigns, terminators, customised vehicles, heroes and 1000 iconic weapons.
After months they changed it for aother infograpic that was also false.

In meantime mr. Richardson was doing hjis best selling more promisses he knew they will not fullfil.
Tank maps, bikes, possible carnifexes in pve, pvpve modes, steam workshop etc.
Them he just left without saying a word and some wh40k boys put the blame on bad publishers... like real grown men usualy do when something goes wrong.

I remember when some really smart guy put a lots of effort into making really big thread abut game optimisation (that was always huge issue) on official forum with many photos added where he show devs how they can improve it. They even acknowledged it and said it will be great help for them but most people said he is wasting his time couse they never listened. They were declared trolls and nothing changed.

You know... my husband probably could write a book about it as he followed it on daily basis and I can still remeber other things but this post is already wall of text.

Ultimately I think it was a matter of many factors but I see mr.Richardson as a guy who was given charge after Miguel departure as someone who came here with one simple order:
Play all dirty tricks you see fit, then release it at deadline and then play some more dirty tricks so we could milk people as much as possible couse the coding from the very beginning is so bad that game cannot be saved and remaking it from scratch will be too expensive.

Then a lot of blame goes to fanboy circle who were always "good job devs" eager to call anyone complaining "trolling hater". I don`t think it could save this game but I believe if the community was less lanient towards developers and put the preasure on them from the beginning some things could go different way and less people would be scammed into buying their RTP and premium packs.

On top of it we have BHVR who dealt with same manner with their another stillborn project Deathgarden (just find out it is not even on steam anymore, surely EC will also be completly forgoten).

Sad story really. I am not massive 40k fangirl but I played it for couple years and wanted this to succeed so I could play it with my husband (he is total 40k nerd) for a long time.
We are having real fun now seeing how this trainwreck is comming to finaly stop.
People we were engaging on official forums insulting everyone not believig in devs lies are gone. I don`t see any of them here when game is closing and official forum is even more empty.
Developers left like cowards without single word and their Ash banhammer lady is also nowhere to be seen.

I hope it will teach people to not be so stupid in the future.

Too long post. Sorry.

Fanboys ? ok, what other game launched that was better than this ? did we all miss someother bus?
Yes, yes, we ALL know that you haters who spammed hate every hour of every day were right and we were stupid for ENJOYING a game you hated. We all know this.

Now get over it.

I did enjoy it. Sorry that hurts your hater feelings, but, well... No, I'm not actually sorry that I actually had fun in the game at times. All I am truly sorry about is that we had to read so many people's lack of reading comprehension for so long.

Yes, the publisher screwed us. The devs may or may not have. Probably not, since game developers generally have little power to do such but they get blamed for everything that corporate types do, because they are more visible than some suit wearing creep in a boardroom. That said? Yes. Richardson acted like lying cheating scum.

But...

Even HE was not even REMOTELY close to the worst game developer or executive I have seen. You want bad? Try the SOE guy who told all the Star Wars Galaxies players that they didn't matter when they screwed us with their 'Next Generation Entertainment'. (I had 300 hours in that game at the time btw) Then talk to me about bad devs.

I thought it was brutal when they told the SWG playerbase that H1Z1 was a game for SWG players to come back home to.

I will forgive you bringing that up. But yes, I DO know what it is to hate a game publisher after what Torres said.

People hating game devs is routine now. It is just what people do. But not many realize how LITTLE control most gave developers have over the game making process. 'He who has the gold makes the rules' and game developers rarely have enough money (or time!) to fund their own games. Often, those rules make no sense at all to players.

That said? I AM NOT excusing BeHavior at all. I will never trust them again and even if they put a AAA game with awesome graphics and story, I WILL tell people not to buy it because that publisher WILL screw their players, enjoy it and lie about it.

Mmm. That's precisely how I feel about Bungle and Destiny.

I was on Ahazi, how about you?

Hey The Captain,

Thank you for writing in. Please note that Asheru is not a member of the Eternal Crusade moderators anymore. He already left the team. As for your permaban, again, I've checked your account and I am not seeing any standing bans. You were indeed suspended once, but this has since been lifted.

Please let me know if you have any other questions or concerns.

Glory to the Emperor!

I played on several servers due to moving back and forth between Canada and the US , but I do remember having one character on Ahazi. My Wookiee Teras Kasi master will live in fond memory forever! He didn't carry a blaster because he didn't NEED one!

Marvel 2015, 2016 and then finally Marvel Heroes, it was an MMO not quite as deep as City of heroes, and was very store driven, but it was really fun. They Closed it in a Panic giving all the players just 10 days from notice until shut down in early november 2017.

The Reason was a huge SEXUAL Harassment lawsuit between several female employees and a Boss in the Dev staff,.....POOF done Disney threw away everything, it didn't matter if you had fun or had bought hundreds of dollars of stuff, They only would refund purchases in the last 30 days, NOTHING ELSE. Yes all the people cried foul, cried lawsuits, Bang Boards gone, game shut down end of story.

First off check the status here I'm still a moderator. bE dont even know who has been watching the forums for a long time and still dealing with bad post. Secondly you lie as I never had access to anyones account and did not issue any bans nor did I mess with your RTC. If you were banned it was by the dev team and not me. All I could do was kick you out of a match. But feel free to post some more lies and Ill just get a laugh out of em. I do enjoy knowing that being the only Moderator willing to do anything means I was abusing power. Cya in the next game.

You do abuse your power a lot, you banned my EC account because you thought I was someone you knew before. Stuff of paranoia, I got all email logs from JJ having to deal with your issues still saved but im a liar okay xD.
Finally maybe we might get a real W40k shooter in the future or continuation of SMW40k. I enjoyed the concept...the game was bad.
