Your telling me 40,000 years in the future no one of any of the races can come up with that but they can come up with anti-gravity flying tanks?
So pretty much the dark eldar and space marine land speeders and eldar vypers are pretty useless, fantastic I love new editions that screw over entire armies. Because its always such a good idea for dark eldar to move their transports and tanks 6"-12" a turn so they can shoot anything because as we all know the dark eldar tanks have such fantastic armor.
Thanks my friends and I will be ignoring the continued idiocy of games development and keep with our Battlefleet Gothic campaign. |
just fyi, i am REASONABLY sure [ie, not completely] sure that russes do indeed have what you speak of. and besides, it's fluff. it's written by people, not lived by people. i'm not sure how serving in the military would help you know that. if you really want to criticize a game that much, make your own. i hate to be blunt or almost curt, but that's how i see it. games design is impossibly difficult, involving lots of math and economics, and countless hours of rebalancing. the same steps are involved in developing new 40k rules as is making your original BFG rules.
someone said that leaking info was mostly to screw with people, i don't think so. think about this: if GW were to spend MONTHS playtesting it, they have to 1. pay their employees to play hundreds of games to make sure everything [or mostly everything] is fair, reasonable, and running smoothly, and 2. wait a LONG time before releasing the rulebook [which, btw, would likely sell pretty well initially].
if they leak information onto the forums, like warseer especially, where some bigshot GW employees post, they can have people playtest it for free AND give feedback for free, at an exponentially faster pace than if they were to simply test it endlessly. right ?
