Total War: WARHAMMER III - Dev Chat on 6.0 Design & Audio - What's Next

When chat DLC?

When working AI DLC? 

When MP leaderboard DLC?

Most aspects of the game literally don't work.

Ranged doesn't work.

Just look at that:

Obstructed? Excuse me, what is that Ironblaster obstructed by? It is standing in the middle of the open field, it's target is hovering in the air, there is a clear line of sight between them and it tells me "obstructed", stays idle for half a minute, AI makes you lose the game by simply not doing what you told it to do while it certainly can.

Now look at this:

Those guys are repeatedly shooting the ground and AI doesn't care about that.

Melee doesn't work.

The Toad Dragon is walking in instead of charging and then stays in an infantry unit trying to move instead of trying to attack. Lord of Change is moving to attack but instead getting stuck, unable to land for half a minute.

AI is not doing what you tell it to do and the game is not won by those who have better tactics or planning capabilities but by those who are getting lucky with their units JUST DOING WHAT THEY WERE TOLD TO DO.

And this is how Toad Dragon "fights". It stays in melee range, taking hits in the flank, looking at their opponent, losing HP, not trying to perform any attacks. Nice.

Most of the single entity monsters are just unable to fight. They are just not doing that despite you tell them to.

DLC units released long time ago are still unplayable.

Toad Dragon has 50% of Dread Saurian AP damage, 50% of Dread Saurians armor, 2/3 of it's HP so you guess it should cost 50%-60% of it's price right? But in current state it costs 2100.

You don't need 200 IQ to realize that if a unit has twice worse stats but it costs 87% of the other units cost then picking it is auto-lose.

Spells don't work

Most of the abilities don't work in MP

Here is a list: https://community.creative-assembly.com/total-war/total-war-warhammer/forums/15-multiplayer-battles/threads/5973-untriggerable-abilities-in-mp?page=1#post-86279

Quite a good example is Skarbrand's Carnage & Slaughter which requires 300 kills to charge to 100%. On average, Skarbrand gets 30 kills in MP at the end of a successful match. 

Can we have a cosmetic DLC that would raise money for fixing the actual game instead of wasting it on adding more content that would be as broken?

I don't want to come across as a game hater, I used to like TW2 and played it a lot, but I'm definitely not happy with the state of the AI in TW3. I lose games more often because my units simply don't do what I tell them to do than because of what my opponent does. Therefore I'm definitely not happy with CA introducing more and more DLCs instead of dedicating efforts to fixing what's already in the game. I literally can't use units that I paid for half a year ago because they are so underpowered that picking them in MP is similar to just gifting your opponent 2000 gold for free.

I'm definitely not in favour of purchasing DLCs that introduce content that will not work in best case. In worst case it can break things that worked previously, like Thunderbarge DLC broke the MP balance entirely.

I would be happy to purchase some paid content if I would know that the money spent is used on fixing the game instead of adding new content. Like, badges for the profile in MP or additional faction colours which require zero effort to implement.

I hope the game gets fixed eventually.
