Official content creator dropping some bombs here: 1) MoWs themselves are not that bad, but there is a reason I'm calling them towers of war - they get much better on higher skill levels but their presentation is lackluster, something that I somewhat feared during the talk with Nandi saying that I don't think that game engine will manage bigger movable objects, 2) Incursions are pain in the back, that is true - some people even suggested to make them raidable after they are 3 starred, honestly I would prefer some artillery based event where you have to eliminate incoming waves on enemies but that would require more effort, 3) With Tech Priest Fred it makes 3 of us that openly say that ammo is a bad design - BECAUSE IT IS, 4) I think that higher difficulty level and using multiple teams on GW is not a bad thing (I think that sudden difficulty spike was a really bad move since it gave us mental shock) but like I've mentioned during my podcast with Doctor Flint - turning enemies into bullet sponges isn't the way, for example it should be enviroment that is posing additional threat, 5) But I agree that rewards from GW are lackluster as well - I only miss Njal and there is no reaon for me to get him, heck even legendary materials are not that great because they are not that hard to get (besides that stupid rocket thingy). 6. As for reqs I still try to process what has occured here. Also side note - some people here might say "BuT sZeKu YoU aRe OfFiCiAl cOnTeNt CrEaToR aNd YoU aRe On ThEiR pAyRoLl" The thing is - I'm not, my only income on this is the YT monetisation that is not even here yet, so if they would kill the game, source of my content will be gone, so it is in my best interest to keep it alive. As for the video itself - great job and keep it up!
Thanks man, appreciate it! I don’t really care about the MoW’s tbh. I would prefer they didn’t exist and I had one less button to press but not a big deal. What I really don’t like is the systems surrounding them: 1. The incursion event is awful and so tedious and boring. 2. The pay2win active ability is just diabolical and such an unnecessary money grab. 3. I don’t like how they have infiltrated all the game modes and rewards. I don’t care about the MoW I don’t want to have to waste resources upgrading them and I don’t care about getting components in place of rewards to upgrade my actual characters. 4. This I just recently discovered, but I HATE that they have been added into the req pool. You can unlock and get their shards for free through the event… I don’t want a character unlock to be replaced by a crap MoW in my already very hard to get req scroll.
The only people that realistically will get those rewards fast is whales and Content Creators (because of the refferal codes). The biggest content creators will basically get a snowball of Archeotech and free unlocks since they will be drowning in 10 pulls and getting guaranteed bonus character every 100 req drops in addition to the vast amount of req drops that they already have
Shrinking middle class even in Tacticus :( so sad. I feel bad for new players who have no idea what that they’re never gonna be able to get those rewards
I unfortunately agree with everything you said. My guild is considering skipping wars next go and we are pretty active. It's upsetting that the interest could fall off because of more changes like this when as a diehard 40k fan I don't mind putting $30+ a month towards the game which is a lot for me right now because I appreciate the artwork and gameplay. Thank you for posting. Still plan on playing for as long as possible but if I have to I will get my 40k fix elsewhere
A few days late, but I had a couple of thoughts- 1) DONT make your MoW active good if you don't want to use it on offense and don't always want to graduate (it's often more fun to play down one league than get promoted into a league that's so difficult you can barely find an opponent that's possible to beat). Also who actually gets hit with the artillery barrage? The smoke is the scary part, followed by supression- the damage is whatever. 2) Yeah Some guild wars maps are an absolute slog- the maps funnel you into narrow ramps uphill into enemies with bonus health and pre-created summons. It's fine for your first few lines of good characters with synergy but feels bad when you're on your b-team.
World Eaters with Revan and Gondrion as the leaders? If so, our guilds have fought. I'm co-leader in Exterminatus. Our tag is YZPAX. Our record stands at 1-1 if you're in that guild. You defeated us in May in the last battle on mother's day. We defeated you in the last battle this season if you are the World Eaters I'm thinking of
I’m just getting to be a mid level hitter, I’ve found that waiting till the end of a guild war and mopping up the default defenders, or lines that only have a defender or two left. For MoW I recommend the rocket launcher, the passive has saved my butt a bunch of times
I have no idea if they have updated this problem as I've been just getting back in to the game after like 5 months off but the awards for the achievements seems low. For the effort you need to put in to get 40 characters rare or higher should be worth more than 120 blackstone.
Just came across this so this comment is a month or so late and there is already a new patch to discuss. Incursion sucks. The vast majority of comments on videos, discord and guild chats are negative but somehow SP says the survey shows people liked it. lol sure. The thing I really wanted to comment on was the req system. The biggest disappointment to me is that they did not even try to pretend to care that they were not going to retroactively grant these rewards which, come on, aren't great to begin with. But now in the new 1.2 patch they are doing the same thing, a bone (this time a juicy one) to new players while ignoring the people that have been supporting their game for 2 years. I'm talking about the 3 onslaught and 2 salvage tokens per power level after 8 now. This is a lot of shards and potentially a really nice amount of badges and shards as well. But again, not gonna be retroactive when it would be stupid easy to implement whereas *maybe* a retroactive req award system might not have been. Anyway. This is a good game but the more I play it and watch it grow/change the more I realize that making a great game and making a lot of money off of a game are very different things that are going to be mutually exclusive for most studios, and their products. SP has made their choice.
Would you mind making a video on how to level an individual character properly? I'm not understanding other people's videos on leveling stuff and all their spread sheets... kinda just want someone to show how it's done in game and I feel kinda stuck between trying to gain xp and orbs to level my teams
Guild War is extremely fun if you play in the difficulties you think you have a chance. It brings the guild together for some high intensity moments. Also a highly coordinated guild, such as mine (not trying to brag) even junior members can make a difference. The leaders and officers direct attacks and rally our guys. Everyone has an impact. We usually can deploy 27 members minimum. Its my favorite mode. Our guild record is 15 wins, 3 losses. GW brings us together. That being said I agree with you about MoW. Our guild tag is YZPAX.
Well said, brother. Honest review. I've really enjoyed the new World Eaters characters and haven't felt the squeeze for mats on the war machines but I agree in principle with you, especially about guild wars. They're a total drag.
Thank You for your Honest Review of the state of the Game. I've been thinking about downloading it for a while because a like the Lore side of 40K overall but seeing how the system's ingame are definitely draging net's for Money out of players pockets and harpoon's sharped focus on getting them whale's it's a Shame to see that's what it's came down to with the Game overall. Sadly a lot of Games are the same these days how much can they get from the fan's of a franchise before they Kill it off.🤔
Hey, first of all, you seem to be rather a casual player compared to me (just seeing the full energy hurts), also my characters are way more advanced, so we actually have quite a different point of view. Yet I agree with every single thought you presented. The P2W MoW are a terrible addition to the game. The GW is cool, but the matchmaking burries the gamemode totally (facing a guild with full D3 lines and 15 millions (!) more power score, which is 40% of our whole guild, is NOT okay). And the rewards for the RO would be great (Isabelle, Roswitha etc.) IF (!) there was a way to get it. But damn I have like 20 more RO left from unfinished campaigns and then 3 RO per season. It's ridiculous. Not even mentioning the leveling up times for the characters.
Thanks for sharing your perspective as a veteran player (I just started playing this year). But yeah these new updates just seem like a slap in the face. Carrot and the stick showing you all these cool rewards that you’ll never actually be able to obtain without spending crazy amounts of $. Really unfortunate too especially because of how excited everyone was to get the new 6th characters :/
@@gilgaplayz Actually it was rather hyped by Snowprint. Nobody from my guild was actually excited about the incoming MoW, everybody saw the P2W behind. It's ridiculous, it's like spending blackstones for active abilities. Not only that, but AI can use the MoW active ability at will, so it actually force you to buy the ammunition or play with a significant handicap. Almost like saying the Arena is 5 v. 5, but if you pay, you can play 6 v. 5. It's not that visible yet, cause all the MoW are at low level, but everybody will realize very soon how deep in shit the game already is. Also I think there are more and more minor bugs lately.

Bro i like your opinion and understand but about the incursion i dont like it too. But im thank ful for the extra rewards that i could get without spending energy specially rare materials.. and for the requsition. Its better than nothing bro.. imagine everytime you pull is thutmose which is trash.. its annoying at least this time therse a goal that if you spend you cam get something at least
Maybe Njal and Deathleaper isn't "so useful or good", but as you said, their legendary release events are really good.. and one day you're gonna need one of them and regret not buying...

The most honest review about the game. Love it….still just about. But really grating on me now and seems like a majorly money sucking exercise.

Maybe we could get a req scroll like every week or so as a daily reward. Right now those rewards will take around 10 years to get.
