Самое забавное, что Карету у вампиров то отобрали в АоСе

ты про гробовозку? Есть еще трон с бабами. Я им от самого начала играю и считаю одним из самых эффективных генералов в игре - стрелять и как-то инчае закладываться в нее жалко, а эффекты она умеет делать при правильном микро, огонь... при этом стоит копье

Про зомбиков и культиста с лопатой: Thought Life in the Cursed City Was Bleak? Wait Until You See Death

In fact, it’s not even clear if the Gravekeeper is a single being or a gruesome order of necrotheurges. What’s not in dispute, however, is his mastery of the winds of death and his command over the Deadwalkers.

Проклятый город близко: Sunday Preview – Enter the Cursed City

Одна штука - в одни руки.

P.S: Это было бы идеальным описанием для Верминтайда 3.

Join with up to three other players to fight back against the undead scourge infesting the Cursed City, an ancient settlement gripped by a terrible curse thanks to a foolhardy deal struck with vampire lord Radukar the Wolf. Play as one of 8 beleaguered heroes trapped within the ancient city’s walls. Each adventure is a race against time, as when the sun sets the dead grow in power and fall upon anyone unlucky enough to remain in Ulfenkarn’s streets.

Дело очень плохо.

Похоже, Проклятый Город закрыт и навсегда.

Я нашёл такой комментарий (то ли слух, то ли домысел), что этот "Морнхолд" для GW вышел боком. Вряд ли из-за одного слова, но как будто их уличили в плагиате, так что ничего не оставалось как закрыть и похоронить этот проект.

У меня нет слов, если это правда.

"Я оставлю здесь этот текст"

Right, I will explain.

They hit a copyright issue.

When they were releasing various lore on their website, i noticed one page which had some direct parallels to another major fantasy franchise. It went as far as using an identical name for something with identical spelling, as well as a more direct parallels in its lore background.

I have direct contact with Ben Johnson at GW HQ. I sent him a link to the page along with every single parallel. I am NOT a big content creator so didn't have an advance copy of anything, so for all i know, there may have been further plagiarised material from the same franchise.

Ben passed on the information I sent him to their boxed game team, and that's the last I heard from them.

A few weeks later, Cursed City was cancelled.

*Edit - which is also why they are being unusually silent on the whole thing. They're not going to say "it looks like one of our writers plagiarised another major fantasy franchise with a lot of money behind it".

If you've breached a copyright, you can't make money from it, which is why they aren't going to release anything else related. They've sold off the stock they've got and now that's it.

Почитал американские интернеты - говорят что оч сомнительно. Сайт оставили , книга в продаже тоже есть , бэк в новом батлтоме вампиров про ульфенкарн тоже будет. При этом в жесткий аут оф сток ушли кровосиси из андерворлда, которые к Ульфенкарну не имеют прямого отношения.

Да, как-то мутно эта история звучит, там кроме названия никаких пересечений больше нет (можно конечно совсем упороться и притянуть сюда за уши недавние вампирские расширения для ТЕСО, но они в Скайриме, а не в Морнхолде). Убрали бы название и все. В конце концов у них целый Малекит до сих пор с Марвелом пересекается и ничего.

Если совсем на пальцах думаю какие-то перебои с логистикой , а фиксить их нет ресурсов сейчас так как АоС 3.0 дышит в спину.

из забавного такой себе лол с тга на эту тему

NOTE: this obviously is not a real investment memo and I have no insider information on GW. What I do have is 20+ years of experience in the investment community and thus tracking ERP implementations and thus 20+ years observing ERP implantation going wrong short-term. So I thought it would be fun to mock up a memo as if I was explaining to the investment committee what had jus happened.

RE: Cursed City & GW’s New ERP System

Since several members of the committee have forwarded me articles highlighting the poor roll out of GW’s new product Warhammer Quest: Cursed City (hereafter CC) I thought it was worth putting together a quick memo updating you on the status of our investment thesis. As you will recall we believed CC would be a key sales driver in the second half. Good news on that front… it sold out. The bad news? It looks like demand far exceeded supply and thus there was a missed opportunity here. What we do not know yet is whether actual supply was less than intended by GW or whether demand just far exceeded their estimates. Unfortunately we have been unable to contact GW’s investor relations to gain further insight into this.

Based on our channel checks and other inquiries though we believe the core culprit was issues related to the implementation of the company’s new enterprise resource planning (ERP) system. While we have highlighted the long-term benefits of the ERP for the company as the product lines have dramatically over recent years we also warned that in our experience most ERP implementations have “hiccups”. Everybody knows this but we also know that where these “hiccups” will actually show up is unpredictable.

In hindsight, CC looks like it was particularly vulnerable to such problems. As a one off boxed game that incorporates products both from their Nottingham facility AND from China (particularly in the written materials) it required above average coordination across the ERP system. We also know that Brexit has complicated imports making this issue even more difficult to address.

We have heard suggestions that orders placed well in advanced were incorrect leading to too much of certain parts of the set and too little of others which were not identified until it was time to bring the box set together, by which time it was too late to address. We have certainly seen such issues arise in past ERP implementations. Alternatively others have pointed to an error in the order system which led retailers to believe that they would receive more box sets than should have been allocatable. Again this is not uncommon with new ERP systems.

At least a couple of you have reached out asking me why they either didn’t learn from the Indomitus box set and/or follow the same made to order approach that followed a similar problem last year? As we have highlighted in previous memos COVID 19 has had several major impacts on GW. To the positive it appears to have dramatically increased demand for products. Negatively their factories, warehouses and stores all experienced shut downs. Broadly this has created shortages of “evergreen products” (those supposed to be available for order on a consistent basis) as our checks of availability issues on the website has regularly highlighted. More particular to this issue though is that it has also severely impacted the new release schedule. When Indomitus came out GW had taken steps to slow its release schedule which we believe had created an opportunistic production window for Indomitus made to order.

In contrast, this year GW had been attempting to return to a more normal release schedule leading up to CC. Specifically AoS has been working through the Broken Realms series, which has included multiple special box sets and new models, as it leads up to a new edition. In 40k the roll out of 9e continues , for example with the new Drukhari codex and continued releases in the very popular Sisters of Battle line. While the CC problem has been followed by another “pause” in the release schedule simply put we don’t believe that there was any opportunistic window for a made to order follow up.

We believe the current pause is to ensure that any ERP issues surfaced by CC do not impact the AoS 3.0 release this Summer. From a business perspective we believe this to be the best decision. While boxed sets are an important part of the business, both in bringing new players into the game and taking more wallet share from existing customers we do not believe the profit margins on one off sets such as CC are as high as start collecting sets which have far less written materials and tend to have fewer models ( or put another way tend to have smaller discounts to the products when sold separately). Given this, if the choice was whether to sell more CC now or risk delaying or worse, selling fewer AoS 3.0 sets this Summer we believe the decision was clear.

The outstanding question though is whether this has a long-term impact on customer or 3rd party retailer relations? A consistent complaint has been GW’s lack of communication as orders were cancelled and supporting material was removed from the website. Cynically one could argue that this will only increase customer’s tendency to preorder direct to improve their chances of receiving limited edition orders. Of course the concern is that it turns customers away. Here we do think it being a one off is helpful, again, supporting the decision to focus on the 3.0 roll out. If that goes well even if it is not “forgiven” we believe it will largely be “forgotten”.

At least by customers. The 3rd party channel response may be more problematic. We cannot be sure yet how they will respond but we are reaching out to store managers with surveys that we hope to have responses to be next week. We will forward the collated data to the committee.

In a conclusion, while we are closely monitoring the ERP situation net-net better for it to have hit CC than 3.0. The latter is key to avoiding a significant sales drop off as we annualized the 9e 40k rollout and the COVID 19 sales boost. Our primary concern then remains the risk of a sales drop off in the 21/22 fiscal year as the benefit of new editions and quarantine demand fade.

As always, if investment committee members have follow up Qs please respond to this email.

Thanks,

B&P

Да менеджмент у ГВ совсем упоротый: столько раз нарыватся на плагиат в том или ином виде) Малекита "перекрошили" в Малериона уже давно(с начала АоС). Хотя Дисней официально палки в колёса не ставил.

А в чём проблема переименовать свой Морнхолд?
