thats legit i guess, also the PS2 classes were selectable so it didnt feel like i was really playing my personal hero -
thus i hope in EC u have ur own char that u can mess around and change his rolls(weapons/mods etc) AKA he's totaly ur personal creation, insted of just selecting preset role from 5, with some colour customizable options added on the side.
Will Space Marine chapters have access to specific items/wargear? Dark Angels have their Ravenwing, Space Wolves have their Thunderwolf cavalry, Blood Angels have their Death Company and Furioso Dreadnought, and Ultras have... the codex?

I'm sure stuff like that falls under the same category as specialized weaponry that I asked earlier.
It was stated specialied stuff won't be around on release, but fingers crossed that they'll come out later.

What classes are in the game?
Each faction features a unique selection of classes drawn from their lore, and each character in a faction has the opportunity to choose from a variety of classes when they deploy on the field.
For the Space Marine faction, a few of the classes you can choose from include Tactical Marines, Devastators, Assault Marines, or Apothecaries (Wolf Priests in the case of the Space Wolves).
Check out their codices if you want to speculate - more details soon!
yes: space marine have specifical codex troop, also bike are confirmed
(Question: Dark Angels’ back tells of a division "Raven’s Wing", made up of speeders and bikes. Will there be a chance to mount a motorbike?)
(Answer: All space marines chapter might have bike companies. The Raven’s wing will be featured with the Dark angels chapter for launch.)
How will the War Council be chosen? Will the players just vote for the best players of the race in their opinion and that's it? Or will there be some form of trials/dueling to determine who would be the strongest/most cunning to lead the faction? If so, will the "elections" be different in every race? Like a standard election for Space Marines, and a "HeadButting", or a duel contest for the Orks?
I think I mentioned it already - it will be a combination of 'skill to unlock' in some sort and a voting system. so not everyone can become part of the council. i personally don't like the idea of fighting to become a leader, because leading is not about being the best fighter, its way more about strategy and the big picture. how the mechanics exactly are going to be is not to be revealed yet

I really hope we will have EU and NA server, since latency will be high for one of them if we have only 1 server for all players
1 - in the interview, Miguel talked about how "Eldars and Chaos could make an alliance to wipe the rest of the forces outta the planet, then duke it out among themselves"...so, lets say Im a SM and in the first week we and orks were wiped, then the eldars and CSM take 3 weeks to decide a winner...what am I supposed to do in the meantime till the campaign is resolved? watch netflix?

hi patrick
you got his question wrong
i try to re-question this question:
will there be NPCs who are named after the devs or have your voices ingame in some form?
Originally posted by grigdusher the game will have only one server: how will be managed the comunication with so many language? Only englis pubblic chat?
Not sure if this directly answers your question, but Miguel clarified that they'll be more than one server, although you'll only see one.
I took from his comment to mean that you wont be able to chose between server a or server b, you'll just see 'server' on your list.
Whether that'll mean that they'll be separate locales for europe I have no idea.
Originally posted by grigdusher the game will have only one server: how will be managed the comunication with so many language? Only englis pubblic chat?
well first of all we are thinking of language specific chat channels. but there will be a global chat too - now ofc that might cause some problems and language barriers to happen - so in the end we might end up splitting languages on different servers, but that will not be decided in near future. will also depend a lot on how many players are actually going to be on the servers at the same time.

well even if there are EU and NA 'servers', it's not for sure that the latency is perfect for everyone - a lot of games just use one hosting center in NA or somewhere else and just call the servers EU, or Asia or whatever. We are aiming to make the game responsive and playable even with a ping above 100ms. This is not a first person shooter we are making, it is not important to have the best ping and with our prediction algorythms we want to make sure everyone is equal footed.

1) you cannot erradicate a race from the game what Miguel meant is that for the current skirmish (campaign) some races can be 'removed' - that does not mean that the whole planet is wiped from those races There will be war everywhere to continue playing, an who knows, if orks and eldar focus on the campaign on e.g. one continent, maybe other continents might be there to be taken in the meanwhile
2) maybe

yes i like combat roll, and different form of combat roll (i imagine eldar will be the more agile and warp spider make small "warp jump")
but why no jump? i've played many yers gw1 and i play space marine (so i'm ok with no jump for reasons) gw1 dont' have jump but charging the enemy and getting stuck in a rock or can't yump over something can break immersion. i know, bunny hopping can be ridiculus in a war 40k game. but maybe a small jump with a cooldown can help not being stuck every where.
"CHARGEEEEEEEEE"
"sir there is a rock between us an the enemy we cant reach him"

1. maybe to early to ask this:
will my character model show how damaged i am? for example:
i took many hits to my left shoulder, will only my shoulder look damaged? or my whole character? or will i see no damage at all?
2. will we be able to jump? (without jumppack)
or just combatrolles like in space marine?
3. will we be able to damage some1 who is in a vehicle if we have good aiming?

1) too early to say - we want something like that yes, but we have not made it work yet
2) no
3) maybe, technically we are able to do that, it's a decision that will be taken from a gameplay/fun point of view

Q.
Any kind of cover mechanic?
Soft/hard cover played a role in the 1st edition hardback 40 k rule book! Though SM power armor is cover!
Q.
Will armor save come before toughness roll in your edition?
