[Feedback] Dear Relic
Gosu
I played coh2, dow2 over 3000hours each. and played dow3 over 50hours. This is my sincere thoughtful feedback.
Tbh, I did not like dow3 at first. but after playing it, I think it is good game.
-Skins are good. I want to see many skins not only elites but also normal units. Please make Steam workshop available for skins. This will extend Dow3 life for long time! Skin quality will skyrocket high. and much money to relic. Steam workshop MUST happen.
-I want to see as many factions as possible. most people will agree this. We want Chaos, Tyranids, Necrons, Tau, sisters of battle and so on.
-Do not add Victory mod. Victory mod make player very tired, exhausted. 1 hour battle with massive micro? We don't want that again. Victory mod is for CoH2, not DoW3.
-in game sound issue. It changed a bit from last beta, but it still has to be improved. I do not like BGM in main menu personally.

50 hours!? I racked up only 31 over this beta weekend - were you also in the previous beta?
I agree VPs are more of a CoH thing than DoW3 - not integral to DoW success or gameplay.
Gosu
yea I was in the previous beta. I enjoyed your stream.

Im a bit confused, how can a VP match last an hour? For me it was quite the opposite. The power core mode drags on and on forever if no one makes the final push. In the VP mode theres always the counter that ticks down relentlessly, deincentivising a passive strategy.

Hey I like the Background music in main menu, it's epic.
DonDimon
Background music in main menu is AMAZING. Please keep it.
Parmenion
Clearly, i don't like victory point but the power core mode can last for ever. I rage quit a 3v3 after 50min cause everyone camped. No more 3v3 for me in the current state of the game i think the 1v1 is by far the best mod, cause game end before 20 min
Gosu
just watch coh2 stream, you will see 1hour matchs so many times. That's very painful for both players. VP make game so hard, so tired. It is not for DoW3.
Larkis
Why you dont want ro play the game, that it end so fast?
Katitof
That's incorrect, even in biggest camps you can harass objectives with long range arty units or fast attack skimmers, SM got best arty for that, orks and eldar can go in and escape when needed.
Stalemates happen only if all players are noobs afraid to attack.
Gosu
just look at dota2, how successful their steam workshop
SteelFaith
You played 50 hours, and that's all you have to say about it? There's some very serious problems with the game right now.
Gosu
I believe these issues are more important than balance. Relic will fix the balance eventually, so I did not mention about it. But my feedback is about the direction for dow3.
SteelFaith
Ok, but you're not listing issues. There's not just balance issues, but core design issues influencing the MP that makes it not enjoyable, and not worth playing. Apparently you don't feel that way though I couldn't play this game for more than 10 hours in it's current state, it would be too tedious.
Everyone knows there will be more races and factions eventually.
This game could definitely use a Victory Point mode, there's no good reason not to. If you personally don't like it, then it's a game mode you can avoid. That doesn't mean the game should not have it at all.
No mention that we have no custom key bindings? Something standard in PC gaming for decades now? This alone makes me too annoyed to bother playing the game, never mind how tedious the game gets once you get to tier 3 and above. Tier 1-2 is the only parts of the MP matches that are good right now.

50 hours!? Wow... Gosu for DoW3 Prez!
I'm super casual when it comes to DoW3 since I was more interested in the campaign... since I am very very very very bad at the multiplayer but I still try to get better.
I agree, Skins are fun!
I definitely agree with more races!
I don't know what Victory Mod is... I am sorry.
I didn't pay attention to... Music.
I like these points, it's not a "Space Marines are broken" thread. I do agree with a lot of what you say throughout the thread. Good job!

@SteelFaith
Victory mod is terrible for this game. Victory mod make the game last long, exhausting. they are for coh2, not dow3. If the game has many game mods, it means each mod has less player base. dow3 is not starcraft2. Dow3 will have 7000~8000 online players base . and there already are 1v1, 2v2, 3v3 and custom games. You will search more than 5 min to get a match which already happen. Adding many game mods will screw this game.
It will be nice to have custom key bindings, but I have no problem with WASD layout.
Resource boost by phase should decrease.
and Elites issue, this need some efforts from relic. tone down skills and and adding levels for elites will solve the problem.
Hahalim
Just because yous dislike the mode, doesnt mean others will too. Your line of thinking is selfish and childish. Therefore I say to relic, please add a victory point mode.

What you're complaining about is that Gosu's opinions don't match yours, which is inevitable. Would be a lot better if you could have more respect for opinions that don't align with your own - that's the only way we get constructive debate. Otherwise it's either a group of people agreeing with each other (in itself, not a bad or a good thing. Just a thing), or people talking past each other with no resolution.
Just because peoples' opinions don't match yours, doesn't mean theirs are invalid. And it doesn't mean that yours are, either. Player views are facets of the greater whole that is reception to the game, and positive or negative just having respect for them would be nice. Opinion post, not an instruction post.
