Pre ordered or cancelled from Beta? (Survey)
4 years ago
aWildUPSMan
This is a survey I'm doing just to see what the demographic is like on how the Beta has influenced the choice to either buy the game or cancel their pre-order.
https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/QG5QP75
EDIT: Link has been edited to include a choice for those who weren't influenced either way.

Interesting idea. But what about people who didn't* pre-order* but didn't cancel theirs either?

An edit is in order!

I preordered and the beta confirmed I made good choice

I pre-ordered when I saw early reviews come in positively. I love RTS games and want to support them whenever I can, and Relic makes some of the few reliably good series.
I was briefly irritated by the lack of matchmaking in the beta, getting paired up with incapable noobs, players who only wanted to see how the game ran on their rigs, and AFK goons. It took me 4 or 5 matches before I had a victory, which was a solid 2v2 match. It was fun match, and really demonstrated to me the back and forth nature of the matches. I was sold on keeping my preorder as a result. I really hope Relic concentrates on a single player campaign at least for an expansion, as I hear the campaign is weak. I usually don't buy games for multiplayer outside Coop and Skirmish.
At the very least I hope they get the skirmish AI right. DOW2 wasn't bad. COH 2 AI was terrible, only competitive with the massive resource boost on Expert.

Didnt preorder as I had huge doubt about the game. After playing it though, it is kinda fun. And ive mostly accepted that THIS is the best we're going to get for a long time, so I will be issuing a last minute preorder in the next day or two.

I pre-ordered prior to beta and have retained my pre-order. Option c in
Your survey but I feel your survey did not cover it really

I was going to do one for prior to beta but then I thought this is really just for those who have been influenced by this beta primarily.

I wanted to pre-order before beta.
I played the beta.
I pre-ordered.
I will die someday hopefully after having a child (Ive already planted a tree) and play a lot to DoW3 xD
Saludos!!

Preordered after the closed Beta, but it didn't really influence my decision a lot because I would proabably preorder, anyways. I'm waiting for this game forever, it didn't hurt that I liked what I saw too.

Pre-ordered from beta too. Relic definitely did a good job, Bravo.

I've had the collector's edition pre-ordered since it was announced.

I marked the third option. I have been following the game closely for a long time and been a member of the forum as long. So, by the time I entered beta, I pretty well knew all there was to know. There was little to no chance of a surprise that would change my mind at that point.
Beta for me was an opportunity to enjoy it early.

Also pre-ordered thanks to the beta.
I was sceptical when i saw the youtube vids from last phew weeks but now playing for myself i really enjoyed it

I pre-ordered as soon as it was available to pre-order, I rarely ever pre-order but I've gotten thousands of hours out of both DoW1 and DoW2 and thats despite not enjoying 2 as much as 1.
I knew we'd get a chance to play the game before release so I knew I'd get an opportunity to try it out and make sure I enjoyed it.
Keeping my pre-order and looking forward to release now knowing how the game plays.

I've pre-ordered since the first Dawn of War

Didn't preoder, but would cancel if I had, selected as if canceled.

Feedback has been great so far. Pre-orders are in the lead at 56% out of the 76 that have replied so far. So overwhelmingly the beta has had a good impact it seems thus far.

Before the beta I was on the fence about whether to get it, I wanted to really try my hand at it before making my mind up. Like many others, been playing DoW since the first one's initial release so I am a long term fan.
Having played the game a bit now though, I think I can say that I don't feel the absolute NEED to pre-order. Maybe it's just that I'm more of a single player type guy (something that is clearly taking a backseat for this game) but I didn't find that the beta really blew me away, it's not that it was bad, in fact I found it quite a fun game but my general feeling going out of the beta was just sort of..."meh, it's alright". So there's not really any sense of urgency for me to get it yet.
tl;dr I found the game fun, but being neither blown away or disappointed I'll probably just wait for a slight price drop as I can deal with the wait.

Pre-Ordered because of the multiplayer beta.
GuruSkippy
Will buy it tonight.
Open beta was great imo.

Disclosure: my brother actually gifted me this for my birthday this year (really!), but I would've bought the game anyway (preferably pre-ordering, but dependent on disposable income!).
Not voting because, well, yeah. The beta sessions were definitely helpful for me, though. Been a while since I enjoyed RTS multiplayer
Unstable
I used to hold the original DoW1 in a higher regard than the successor, but having played thet beta I think that this new take on the series is a good thing. The increased pase and scale reminiscences of sc:bw, whilst also featuring the awesomeness of the WH-universe.
I'll probably buy it tonight to earn the pre-release bonuses.

I buyed the Limited Edition of the Game, i normally Play against the A.I. in ever RTS game because i really dont liked Play against human Players but in the beta i saw, it makes really fun to Play against them in DoW3.
aWildUPSMan
I appreciate the feedback guys! Responses were stupidly good
be a nice bonus if one of the devs seen it but no doubt they have a way to see how many units have been pre-ordered anyway.

I cancelled my pre-order. Playing the Multiplayer Beta and reading reviews/watching stream of the Campaign changed my mind 180 degrees about going forth with this purchase.
I'll probably be sticking to the Legacy Forums after April 27 because of that. There's no need for someone who didn't buy the full game to be hanging out here in General Forums spreading criticism and bad vibes. TBH, I have to say that at least my disappointment in DoW3 made me renew my interest in DoW1. If that hadn't happened, I'd never have discovered Ultimate Apocalypse, or that editing the host file in notepad and forcing high polygon count unlocks a previously unknown Ultra Graphics setting for Dark Crusade :-)
So sometimes things don't work out how we'd like, but it opens up unexpected avenues at least.
Valtonis
the survey is gonna be totally skewed because you are asking in the official forum and people who are still here now would be pro-DoW3.
most that have cancelled their pre-order wouldn't still be around any of the DoW3 forums

Waited to open beta because of my specs, wasnt't sure. Pre-ordered the day the beta finished. Had alot of fun with my brother. 3v3 is so chaotic ! Just wish relic would give us more details on their plan for post launch like dlc's and all that. Great game looking forward to play on thursday night with a few beers =D

Have you missed the huge amount of threads that are people stating their cancellations or disappointment that the game was never whatever they imagined it to be in their heads?
