ZA Furries

It's this weekend. If you enjoyed Dawn of War I, you should enjoy this game. I was in closed beta, and I had a good time. They have mixed up the objectives of the game to something closer to being a moba, while adding a unique spin on heroes (elites), and returning to large scale warfare and base building.

If you are interested in trying the game out before you buy it, this is a multiplayer only beta for this weekend. Registration is required for a key, at: https://www.dawnofwar.com/beta.

So who is buying the game, and who is trying the closed beta?

Registered, downloaded, waiting

Yay Faan!

Vox, Dredge, Obsidian, and Galahad are also getting it.

Has it started yet?

It complains about a missing executable when I try and launch it.

Should work now, after it updates (~100mb)

So I still never got my invite... @_@

That sucks.

Are you sure that it didn't go to spam, or that you accidently sent it to the wrong email address?

Yup pretty sure, I got the newsletter from them and all but no invite.

Was this game worth it?
I hear its doing worse then For Honor.

I would wait until they add more content and the game goes on sale. The multiplayer battles get quite repetitive quite quickly; there aren't many maps; and there are few players searching at the moment which makes finding a game difficult. It's not as good as Company of Heroes 2 at the moment.

I find it interesting how your opinion of the game has changed these last few weeks; especially considering how highly you regard CoH.

On the face of it, it is a fun game, and I have played 71 hours of it, excluding the hours I spent playing the beta (probably another 20). Unfortunately, it has not quite surpassed CoH2 with 992 hours played, but then again, CoH2 is 4 years old, and did not have nearly as much content when it launched as it does now, so we will see, maybe the game shall be improved.

Yeah, I remember being distinctly disappointed by CoH 2 when it first launched, and I still think that in some ways it hasn't quite been able to match the original.

I wish that relic would stop with the E-Sport speed and sensitivity.
