Dear CA, please fix Daniel. He sucks. The idea is sound, but the execution feels like it was rushed out while 75% complete because the release date caught y'all by surprise or something. This could potentially be a really cool campaign, but it's just... not fully baked yet. Also his start position needs to be reconsidered...cuz... damn.

Also... stop hiding the high end Tzeentch unlocks for him behind playing the mirror of madness thing -- that is flat out insulting and pointlessly nerfs a LL. No one likes MoM unless they're high at 2 am and thinks watching things get ragdolled is funny.

Oh, and stop making Boris require an unlock from the ROC campaign. No one wants to play that, either, as evidenced by the extremely low rate of people who have unlocked Boris -- and most of those having used a mod to do so.

Thanks.

PS: Thanks for the good strides towards improving the game recently -- it's nice to see you guys back on track, and appreciated.

I mean I played RoC through exactly once as kislev to unlock boris, then never touched it again.Immortal empires > ROC any day! Also I refuse to do Mirror of Madness but then I do not play many deamon factions.

I think since Daniel is the teaching character in the prologue it should make the player's choices more meaningful.

His potential as Katarin's betrothed was wasted.

I hope he can destroy the mortal factions in the game and gain the favor of the Chaos Gods.

But you can also destroy the demon faction and restore your human identity.

Daniel is getting weaker and weaker in the latter route, and players want to get a good ending between him and Katarin.

You must put more training in gaming skills, which echoes the teaching theme of the prologue very well.

My fascination with this character is fixated on one thing and one thing only: why did they name it/him/whatever Daniel!? I mean... Daniel? Why not Joe or Jimmy /s

The guy who play him in YT promo named him after himself. Daniel. (It could be translated as 'God is my judge', funny.)

Just an advertising joke when he is technically a person that has a name and even them official title which is neither but the community largely still calls him Daniel from the one advert.

I understand why the originally locked Boris because they were hyped that the story would be fun. Since towards the end a lot of people were playing the Maelstrom map. The amount of play time had narrowed a bit as each DLC it was fun to play through the narrative campaign to eat Ariel and then go do the ME campaign which had a different start. It gave you two fresh playthrough feelings.

But, RoC started less at the healthy stage the Maelstrom was at the end and far more like its buggy crap fest that was the start and actually managed to have a significantly more annoying timer. By large margins, it left such a bad taste in everyone's mouths that a lot of players didn't even finish the campaign and wont even go back to it this day.

Which is why I think they hold to having Boris remain an unlock rather than just giving. 

But overall, I think there was a big mistake on focusing the game hardlined into such a narrative mode. Obviously much of the fanbase is here for the sandbox mode and even as much as I enjoyed the Maelstrom at the end that is not a primary selling point for me. They should come in tandem without one inhibiting the other. In so much as I don't think any LL should be achievement or progression locked. Nor LH or units or other uprades.

Which is already amusing

It's a funny joke, that I find annoying the community just adopted as the character's name.

Personally, I always refer to him as Godslayer, because that's what his wiki page is called.

There's no point in throwing good money after bad until the rest of the game is in a better spot.

I would hope that CA's impulse control isn't so bad that seeing a thread about Daemons of Chaos suggestions would have them drop everything else they are working on to focus entirely on DoC. Or that their memory is so bad that they completely forget about one of the games many, many issues if too many new thread are created without a new one mentioning it in some way.

Yuri needs a rework from the ground up and a new undivided mechanic, DoC should always be undivided and as a faction he should have access to some crazy assortment of combos (barriers for all units or regeneration) at the cost of something else. He should always be that "Be'lakor" wannabe and striving for scraps of the gods with devotion being closer to norsca than WoC.

If you want to play him as Undivided, do that. There’s no reason to rework his ability to dedicate to a single god.

I am 100% against having to unlock any faction beyond simply paying the money for the game/DLC in question. I don't like it, I have never liked it, not in any TW game that has ever been made and I have always altered the game to unlock factions from the moment I first found out you could alter a .txt file to toggle things playable back in Medieval. It's a pet peeve with TW games at this point.

Just out of interest can you auto resolve the final battle now? Could make it playable again.

I don't believe that is how Chaos works... Once down the path of Damnation it is exactly that, absolute damnation, no chance of return, ever.

Fine, with the help of Ursun, another humanoid body was created for Daniel.

Is this more acceptable?

No. That’s not how it works. Yuri already lost his soul to the Chaos Gods. There is no way to turn back again.
