E3 2011: New Dark Millennium Online teaser sighted in the wild

@Dril

Unless something radically changes? Like what? We barely know anything about the game! The two factions is bad news, but thats really all we have to go on for concrete details.

Anyway, I sure hope it's good, but it's too early to tell. A lot of bad and/or unfinished MMOs have been made in recent memory.

@Dril 2 factions doesnt necessarily have to be bad, just like 3 or more factions isnt a ticket to heaven. it all will boil down to the game mechanics. which we still dont know jack about yet....

@jealouspirate

Unless something radically changes...from what I described right there in the comment.

Like WoW, 2 factions and marines just standing there shooting demons, although it's not much, doesn't really make an attractive prospect. So, as I said, if something radically changes and alters that perception then I might be more interested in it. As it stands, it's not a particularly attractive proposition.

@Ghostspeaker
Limited to 2 factions already Fucked it up. While I'm not Warhammer junkie (I prefer WARMACHINE) There are over a dozen "factions" in the Warhammer 40K universe. having only 2 of them playable is a poor choice no matter how you look at it. Not to mention they apparently DIDN'T learn the lesson WAR did...TWO FACTION + OPEN PVP = FAIL. it's impossible to balance populations enough to make it trully compelling and engaging without investing a large amount of manpower solely to population trend monitoring. Without a third (At least) faction to add a bit of uncertainty into the mix one said will invariably dominate the other. There are no ways around this problem with 2 faction PvP. At least none that I've seen.

On top of that the Lore will be butchered as well due to the faction limitation. The minute a Space Marine has to accept a quest from an Eldar you might as well slap an elf in there and just call it WoW with gunz n spaceships PEW PEW PEW!!

@Skyydragonn

It takes a lot more than the arbitrary number of factions to fuck up an MMO. While I'd like a game with more than 2 factions myself, it's just not that big a deal. Seriously.

@Skyydragonn

first, noone knows if the game is unrestricted open PvP, so there goes your theory.

second, there are plenty safe ways for a 2 faction game to play fine...BG based, player limits on active warzones, balancing mechanics like NPC aid, boosts/penalties based on number difference...

if a game adds certain mechanics, sheer numbers matter little or nothing at all, or even better, having numbers is actually counterproductive so people actively REFUSE to stack a faction...

just because WAR had NONE of this and was purely a finantial suicide, doesnt mean this game will lack 'em too...
