Galactic war release confirmed for today..

Any guess on the tech upgrades?

Gonna put this at the top.

I TOLD YOU ALL SO

Someone give this guy this shirt!

​

New technologies and skills will unlock at random? Card drops?

Well ****.

Uber is going back on everything they've said and I am extremely disappointed in the Galactic war.

Excellent. Simply lost in translation.

I've been needing a shirt like that more and more lately!

So is the first Galactic Warfare against AI ONLY? Or can I play against other players too?

I know they want to add multiplayer galactic warfare later, but I guess in my mind I envisioned myself having to choice for my single player war to play against AI or players. I guess that isn't so?

I don't remember them ever giving solid details on galactic war, so I don't see how they can have gone back on anything...

Because they have campaigned hard on the what you see is what you get, no skills, no upgrades, etc.

Now there's card drops, unlocks, and upgrades?

In galactic war only... If you played a giant similar campaign, with each game having nothing hinging on it, why not just play a bunch of normal games? You have to separate galactic war out from normal games, otherwise there is no point in it...

EDIT: Also, I'm sure the cards played for a game will be visible beforehand to all parties involved, It'll be like galactic conquest in star wars battlefield 2.

No other RTS campaign has these random cards and special skill unlock crap.

Also, the Galactic War isn't just a single player campaign. It is also going to be a giant multiplayer experience.

And why introduce entirely new game mechanics that go back on all of the fundamentals of what we were sold on when we backed the game?

Uber seems to be changing the game further and further away from what I was originally sold upon. We'll see what it's actually like when we get our hands on it, but I'm very concerned about the future of PA with each and every time Uber changes their mind.

This is not what we were sold in the original Kickstarter.

You haven't even played it yet. Wouldn't it be wise to wait with being disappointed until you've actually seen the thing?

Because no other RTS game has done a galactic war, and in fact, all the ones that have done something similar (dawn of war series) DID include stuff like that, in fact, it was a central part of the game. It doesn't matter if it's multiplayer, how do you plan to make galactic war different/matter if specific systems don't give you an advantage? What would be the point if you didn't benefit from one system over another? These changes aren't in the normal game, they are specifically for the new gamemode. They add variety and strategy to the metagame of galactic war. If you have any suggestions for doing it in a way other than what they suggest, and works just as well, go ahead an let me know.

I'm excited to give this a try, and will reserve judgement until I see it.

Hope it's not like toy rush though, that game can be frustrating.

I am under the impression we were sold nothing from the original kickstarter video...

I think i've stolen some of your tickets before

That's correct. They basically just said "Galactic War" over and over. People had faith in them then and we still know they can pull it off now.

Nice. Were you the guy dropping 2 dozen lvl1 thetas?

If it is like the galactic conflict in BF2, then I will have no issue with it, and consider it a good gamemode. If it adds all the cards and obtainable tech to normal PA then I will be very disappointed, but I doubt they will do that.

Have you played it?

perhaps.... trying to get my silver theta card now
