There's a steam group, and being in the chat channel is basically necessary to get into games since otherwise people have to add you as a friend.

That's his colloquial term for non-dwarf companions.

Edit: I'm wrong, but that's the gist of his chatter--whatever the other term he busts out is.

The dwarf has specific nicknames for each of the other players, some of the Khazalid language tips during the loading screens will explain one of them. Grimgi is his name for the Witch Hunter, probably making fun of him being so drat grim all the time.

Try to stay away from melee weapons that don't have the ability to hit multiple targets. You can give that up for the added utility of a shield, but in general you really want to be able to hit several rats in one swing or one charged swing; swarms can get so big that you've got no chance of playing whack-a-rat fast enough to not get stabbed a bunch.

Also, the Harqebus is awesome. It's made to headshot specials and kill them instantly. Gunner, gas, hook, stormvermin, doesn't matter, they're dead. The only thing it's missing is a satisfying bolt-action chambering sound. The witch hunter and dwarf ranger both have an equivalent.

We are still discussing how to approach DLCs. We will have both free and paid DLCs but we are going to start off by a free one for sure. We will add a lot of different things in DLCs. Maps, enemies, weapons and so forth....More Skavens yes, as well as other races.

more like "rebellious skaven toddler"; most skaven are really, really young and are lucky to live to 20. queek head-taker, one of the skaven unique characters and a really bloothirsty warlord type, is four.

The process of selecting and developing the characters was a long and difficult process, (but amazingly fun ofc.) a few of my favorites did not make the cut, the warhammer classic rat-catcher with a small but vicious dog and the bretonnian peasant had to be dropped since Martin wanted more epic heroes.

Well, there's your response on the rat catcher.

They said they were going to roll back to the point where the issue would have effected people but it seems they either didn't do it or it wasn't far enough back to matter

Warp blades on the assassins, ratling gun (maybe)? The globes I'm pretty sure are just poison gas so that's like lung cancer at the very most. Unless they add warp throwers I think they'll be okay. Warp throwers and its GG mate.

I think they did a rollback to a previous state so there won't be a full-blown wipe.

They did say that there were around 50 race/class combinations they were excited about before painfully whittling down to the five we got and that they'd like to explore adding more, so there's likely to be some fun combinations that could crop up.
