It has been confirmed that, obviously, the Imperium of Man will be playable in the upcoming Dark Millennium Online. Space Marines, Imperial Guard and Adeptus Mechanicus and even their Titans are all playable choices. Still waiting on some Chaos footage.

Ok...so you get to play space marines and guardsmen. How is this balanced? There is really no way to make a marine and a guardsmen 'balanced'. Then titans? ugh..

What they could though probably wont do is either your a guardsman and then can unlock sm later, or if you buy the full version you can be sm or csm or whatever otherwise guardsman or cultist
either way it looks awesome. Hope its free... or at least have tier 1 like WH online

I hope that no one here has a problem with the fact that I am sure as hell gona go with the Black Templars.

I hope there will be different Chaos legions to chose from, Black Legion is boring, I would like to see Night Lords or Iron Warriors. Maybe they will have 1000 sons as Sorcerers? That would be nifty too.

If there is just Black legion, i would skip that faction(how will they call them? order and something?) and go with Black templars. Can't go wrong with that.

This be necroposting I think.

Still, not going to pass up a good response. We over at the Warp Watchers DMO fansite have decided that the solution to making IG and SM at least somewhat balanced is that Black Templars, being mainly a melee-centric chapter, will be the tank of DMO, where-as the IG will be Stormtroopers who excel at ranged combat, thus the ranged DPS of the Imperium faction.

Except for the fact that a bolter does vastly more damage than either of the two, not counting special weapons or AP. Don't really see the point in IG if you have marines. Eh. Add a marine and you should be able to make a tank that can DPS like a SOB.

It won't play out like that though, at least I hope not.

According to the Info page on the website the Warp is being held off by the Sentinel Devices. Since the Necron's have the only technology capable of this (Pylon's) it means Necron's are in as an NPC faction or at least honorable mention.

Man, hopefully THQ can keep the financing up, long enough, (and remain patient enough) to give the devs enough time to make this game the game it needs to be at launch.

i think a good way to ballance IG and SM would be to start as a comasar i think there called? (idk, dont play any IG players) and you would be able to "summon" "minions" so that you could level the playing field just through sheer numbers, which would be very similar to tabletop.
taking the same idea one step farther, i bet cultists could be given a similar system, performing rituals to summon daemons. that would allow for both imperial and chaos SM to act more like tanks: firing a bolter as they walk towards their enemy, just to skewer em with a lightning claw

just my opinion though.

I am among those who really want this to be freakin awesome!

I would be more likely to be an Eldar. Hopefully a jetbiker or better yet a Shining Spear.

Hit and run bitch!

Ahh awesome

This looks sweeet!

Been playong warhammer online for some time now, alongside EVE and WoW..
Nothing really got my attention since wow, am really hoping for this to be great!

Just imagine all the awesome armoursets and whatnot that will (hopefully) be in this game.. cant wait! THQ tends to deliver! :aggressive:

THQ does tend to not release garbage, most of the time.

I wonder when the Eldar will be announced and which aspects will be available. If I can't get my shining spear then a striking scorpion or fire dragon would be ace.

That's not a bad idea. But I get the feeling that Marines will be just plain 'better', but can't be unlocked until a certain level is reached or similar prerequisite, just to milk the game for play time.

For eldar you might find that you can go an aspect warrior as a choice and depending on weapons/armour you can be any of them. seeing as (if i remember correctly) eldar can change between aspects unless they become an exarch.

I just hope that they do something cool with daemons!!!

Naa, just put Commissar Gaunt in there, he can kill Chaos Marines, they're not all that. (ducks as CSM fanboys go mental)

Awesome!

If you can play as Chaos it is more awesome! DEATH TO THE FALSE EMPEROR!
