I prefer hearing from the devs directly then having to be forced to watch influencers to get any bit of info. Please keep this up CA. Your loyal customers appreciate this.

I truly HAVE NEVER understood why every developer does not do these types of "Dev Talk" videos. YES, of course we love this, please keep doing it. Bi-weekly, monthly, quarterly, whatever, we don't care, just do them. Thank you for your hard work on this franchise throughout all these years. More communication and interaction with the community is almost never a bad thing, if done correctly, so please keep moving in that direction. I wish this team and this game the best!!

[reiteration]

This video format is brilliant, it feels so much more transparent and informal than your usual style of content.

Confirmed inclusions:
Legendary Lords:
Skulltaker
Golgfag Maneater
Gorebad Ironclaw
FLC Lord:
Unnamed Khorne Lord
Units:
Thundertusk (Ogre Kingdoms)
"Blood Vultures" (Ogre Kingdoms)
Slaughterbrute (Khorne)
Other salient details:
Slaanesh "soon", implied to be next, more DLCs in the Thrones of Decay model (3 factions, individual purchase allowed), Vampire Counts, Lizardmen and Norsca have also been called out as on the docket, though the lizardmen specifically sound more like an update than a DLC in context, at least to me. Also more aggressive efforts into those sorts of updates, including updates that don't come alongside a DLC, which sounds **lovely.**

Throgg is the troll king and he only has two kinds of trolls, kind of criminal

[Tarriff]

I absolutely hate the fact that Youtube censors the name of the New Ogre Legendary Lord

[Tarriff]

As this is a Khorne DLC, the Release Date of this will be 8th of August

[alexscholz]

CA, your awareness of the issues presented by the community is a nice change of pace compared to, well, before. The clarity of communication here is heartwarming to see, and I hope it will go a long way, for everyone involved. Thrones of Decay has been fantastic fun (despite its quirks and issues) and a significant boost in quality compared to Shadows of Change. Please use this momentum to swing hard, because if the next DLC is a good'un, we could be in a very good place. Please continue the god-specific DLCs first as that would be very nice to see, from there we can get wild with things like Nagash/Thanquol

[dermenore]

As a Bretonian fan, I would like to see Green Knight, vows rework, and foot knights. A crusade mechanic would also be cool.

[maxducks]

This new focus on transparency post-Shadows of Change is the best direction you could’ve gone, CA. THIS is what we as gamers and consumers want. Transparency is so important, no matter what game you’re making, and sitting down with lead developers and confirming that you hear us and that reworks and content for factions are on the docket is amazing. Keep it up, guys.

[Nobody]

The fact they didnt forget slaneesh AND vampire Counts make me incredibly happy 😭

[ecargfosreya]

Switching to focus on IE is the best choice you guys will ever make

[alfadasfire]

Okay they actually named VC, Norsca and the geomantic web. Not for this coming DLC, but at least they are working on it! Awesome!
But them focusing on IE? That is actually fantastic. Really good news, as they said, that is what most people want out of the game (me included) so good on them!
And I think we all know who that Khorne FLC LL is. Has to be Arbaal the Undefeated right?

Regardless, I'm excited

[edmur]

I'm 36 now and have been playing TW games since the first Rome. I'm an old fan of the franchise and since Attila, my favorite game in the franchise, I felt kinda abandoned and to this day really frustrated with the game, but I kept buying the games cause I love them and I love Warhammer too. We've come a long way, lots of mistakes and also a lot of victories in this great game. But lately it felt things would not end rigth and this game would be another Attila for me, an amazing unfinished game. It feels great to see transparency, honesty and real people. It feels great to hear from you that there is more to be done. Thank you. Thank you for all the fun! Keep up with the great work, it feels good to know that you care and listen to us.

[loremasterofsotek]

This was SO MUCH FUN TO WATCH! I would love to see another one of these in the late summer to maybe show off some more in-progress animations and perhaps even reveal another few units or characters! Very exciting video, so much more informative and enjoyable than just a PNG roadmap.

Thank you guys for making such a fantastic sit down video for us and I am losing my mind with excitement over the amount of content lurking on the horizon! Can't wait to get my hands on this newest DLC.

ALSO PLEASE FOR THE LOVE OF GOD GIVE US A CHAMPIONS-OF-CHAOS STLYE VAMPIRIC BLOODLINES DLC FEATURING ALL 4 NON-VON CARSTEIN BLOODLINES! I BEG OF THEE!

[KostikRAGE]

please rework demon of chaos, and buff Demon Prince (Yuriy Barkov) i very love this faction

[mpbysir]

I've never seen such a big company turn ship the way you guys did. Remember consistency is key, dont fall back into prior habits and you made me a loyal customer and wallet

[spookydan]

This was a much better way to convey information on the plans going forward and big information drops, it feels a lot more transparent and it helps to convey that you DO know where the issues currently lie - as opposed to instead feeling like the community is getting ignored.

The community at large can be very much an echo-chamber with a lot of doomsaying when there's no clear vision being given, and I feel like this format helps a lot to combat those negative feelings. Definitely want to see more of this going forward.

[vincentred]

Communication is key! Please keep talking with the fans :)

[davidbohn]

This format was great; just to hear what's coming up. In terms of additional videos, if you can do little ones like this just on how the current update is coming along, that would be cool. Even if it's just clarifying what you talked about like the new LL for Khorne, maybe mentioning a bit about his abilities in-game, stuff like that, rather than waiting until the update is almost complete. That's a good way to keep us engaged and rooting for fun updates.
And on a separate, I do love the High Elves and Vampires. :) He did mention vampires, anything for the Order Tide I hope? :) Thanks again and know that while you do get some crabby emails, a lot of us do appreciate your hard work and when you zoom in on the game, the fun details that the developers add. It's not lost on us.
