This week in the comments
A quiet week (18 comments) with a mostly critical tone: readability, animations and lack of blood dominate, though a few voices praise the visuals.
Animations and melee under fire
~20% of this week's comments ask for fixed animations or question the melee. One commenter calls the game worse than DoW 3.
A soft image and a yellow tint
~20% of this week's comments describe a blurry image, soft textures (even in 4K) or a yellow cast over every map.
Controls and hotkeys criticized
~10% of this week's comments cite too much manual clicking, odd hotkeys and units too small to identify.
Calls for more blood
New this week: a longtime fan praises the visuals but misses blood on the battlefield, which weakens the impact of fights.
Huge maps requested
One isolated comment asks for maps far bigger than DoW 1's, which came close but never got big enough.
Top reactions and controversies
Readability: "I can't see my units"
Dominant takeUnits too small, blending into terrain, overwhelming Necron effects, cluttered UI: readability comes up in every period, even after praised fixes.
DoW 1 as the benchmark, DoW 3 as the fear
Dominant takeMany measure the game against DoW 1 (maps, cover, per-model health) and fear another DoW 3. Others hope for a true return to roots.
Cover, per-model health and core mechanics
Dominant takeNo cover system, no per-model health, free research and vanishing corpses: veterans see a lack of tactical depth.
The delay: patience or betrayal
ControversyThe December delay divides: most prefer a finished game, a minority feels betrayed (pre-orders, vacation days) or sees a red flag.
Controversy over character diversity
ControversyThe Mechanicus priestess and the Necrons' missed shots trigger a wave of "woke" complaints, with a few voices pushing back.
Battle reports: format and balance
ControversyBattle reports split opinion: dev openness is praised, but shifting cameras, no observer mode and constant Ork losses irritate.
