Sorry but 2 new elites and a single player map aint fixing this game. There are more current players in DOW 2 and Soul storm right now then DOW 3
Bro, its a matter of time until they move over to dow 3.
in the patch theyre also going to add a 3rd elite (orks) and another map they havent revealed. hopefully for 2v2 and 3v3.
another 1vs1 map would be useful as well. .... yet there is no desert map - I do not understand this.
i would love another map that is good for both 2vs2 and 1vs1.
Interesting choice, Bigamo. Considering that the only official map in this game that supports both 1vs1 and 2vs2 is Mork's Mire.
While Kayduin is deployed, he grants Fleet of Foot to nearby allied Wraithguard, Wraithblades, and Wraithlords."
By "Wraithlord" do they mean just the elite? Or is this a hint that there will be a new eldar line unit?
Wraithlord they mean the elite man.
But line unit rosters may get improvements if relic feels that certain rosters have weaknesses or less options.
Just look at DoW 2 for example relic added line units based on weaknesses. Chaos didnt have jump troops so they gave them noise marines (which were op by the way lol) to make it easier to shut down devestators and range squads.
I really hope so. But adding Flash Gitz, for example, would take far more work for Relic than a Dread, as you'd need to make them Nobz models but animated in a completely different way because of the heavy weapons armament and that effect on their movement.
As others have suggested, a new Deff Dread-type elite simply requires a new skin and special effects for ranged attacks. This would be the most boring route they could take imo, as unlike the Dreadnought or Wraith, Deff Dreads aren't the most memorable or iconic units in the Ork lore. And there are also more Ork units compared to the other two races that are conspicuous by their absence over and above a new Dread. What I'm saying is it shouldn't be next in line to be added to the Ork roster, but it would be the easiest and fits the 'theme' of the other new elites.
I guess, Relic is supposed to add some "seismic" effect to seismic attacks of Ironclad as well as doctrine-affected mines and, probably, LS, too.
Just a part of my observation, but try take it from the other perspective:
They're teasing Ironclad and.. YAAAAY
They're teasing Flash Gitz and.. WAA.. I mean YAAAAY, but x2
They're teasing Writhseer and.. BOO, another walker, we have expected more.
Just try to put these 3 into the combination, that won't result in the BOO at the end.
Yes, they have to be wise about their resourses. Which mean to re-use stuff in the way so no one would notice\complain.

Yes 2 maps one yet not unveiled.source:katRE steam post
well, she said MORE MAPS, so probably at least 2 more maps i think?
The discussion she was replying to was one that was asking about the potential of new maps, made before the first reveal was made (though her comment was after the first reveal), so I think we can assume she meant both the 1v1 map and the other one that we know about. Though, a third one would be very nice.
I'm just happy that we're getting so much content, particularly in my birth month xD Such lovely presents, Relic!
Also to add, someone on twitter has took the sneak peak as a form of preparation on Imperial Guard DLC. Indeed, if you look at a stone head on picture, it looks like a Guardsmen. Though I'm not sure.

Relic cant possibly favor Imperial Guard over the likes of Necrons, Chaos or Tyranids. COME. ON.

Dont get your hopes to high there are many statues on the maps.

why not? IG is so popular and they added them with the first expansion for dow1 (yeah i know chaos was there at the time) and also they can somehow implement squad leaders and maybe morale with IG so i wont be surprised if they add them before chaos or necrons (i personally prefer chaos and necrons over the other races)

Look it up on twitter replies, facebook comments, steam forums and even here: do you really think IG would be the best race to drawn back peoples attention to the game? right now the demand for IG tops only Tau,Sisters of battle and maybe Dark Eldar. Chaos ,Tyranids and SPECIALLY necrons (a fan favorite we didn't see since Dark Crusade) are much more requested. And that's not a opinion, that's a fact.
IG would be a good fit for DOW3 since army size is so much bigger. Lot's of cheap troops and tanks. I still think adeptus mechanicus would be a really cool alternative to IG. I feel like there aren't too many surprises left with IG. I'd play em though.
If i see tyranids before chaos necrons and ig i will be somewhat dissapointed. For some reason i find them really dull compared to every other major faction.
I'd love to see IG because I fall for them. But I dont mind Tau or Necrons (both at best) showing up first - just for the sake of the games future. influx of Players!!!

@charlando I think it's in case of teamgames where there can be multiple wraithlords elites at once
IntoTheRainbow
So exciting. So I think there is at least 1 new map to come and obviously 1 new Ork elite.
So Oct patch will be:
3 new elites + new doctrines
2 new maps
Tobi

New elites and maps are always welcomed, but I really would like to see new races, or at least a teaser for it.

New map revealead to be 2vs2.
Its in news section.

Wow! Nearly no days without good news. I like it that way.

From the FB comments on this new map it seems there'll be another map next week that is 3v3

Yup "it only supports 2v2 stay tuned next week througt" they said when someone asked for 3v3

We have human soldier statue on imperial knight world populated entirely by humans.... wooooo, who would have expected! It must mean IG!
Seriously, some people are trying way too hard.
There is not a singular reason why IG would come before any of 4 other long time no seen factions.

Edit: As we can see on the results of this survey:
https://www.gamereplays.org/dawnofwar3/portals.php?show=page&name=dawnofwar3-next-faction-survey-results
Demands for Tau are actually larger over IG and i'm still trying to believe that it is also more requested than Chaos and Tyranids.

994 for the first pick.
For the none result just deduct the result from 1009.

.. IG / Chaos can come later
IntoTheRainbow
It has to be Chaos or Necrons first. Tau can get out of here, they're too Manga anyway >! >! only joking
Chaos are iconic, and Necrons are awesome and the evil race we need in this game to get it to go MOAR GRIMDARK
